This past July 17, “Conscious Life News” reposted an earlier article "Ancient stone carvings confirm how comet struck Earth in 10,950BC, sparking the rise of civilizations" that appeared in "The Telegraph" by Sarah Knapton (April 2017). The book "Magicians of the Gods” is where the idea that the stone carvings were a snapshot of the constellations at the time of the comet catastrophe originated and discussed at length.
In the fourth paragraph into the article is a link to another article titled "Comet impact did not cause mammoths to die out, say scientists" published in “The Telegraph” debunking the comet theory. I read the article by Richard Gray and it is laughable how spurious and deceiving it really is. Remember that Gray speaks for and represents those very people that call Graham a pseudoscientist. The article was indefensible even though it was written in 2010.
Back to the original article, you will find a reference to an organization called: Mediterranean Archaeology and Archaeometry. I visited their site and found an interesting study (downloadable PDF) listed in their volume 19 Issue 1 tiled; “The flooding of the Mediterranean basin at the younger-dryas boundary”, by Michael Jaye, it is worth a read. I used Google earth to have a peek at the area of interest, the Madeira Abyssal Plane, where Michael puts forth his hypothesis of where he thinks Atlantis was once. He bases his assumption on the etchings of the ocean floor of what looks like a canal system as described by Plato.
I would be very interested to know what to make of this, and whether there’s anything in Michael’s claims that are valid or should be further investigated?
