What If There Was A Continent In the Pacific?

The Pacific Ocean occupies 30% of the surface of the globe and when viewed from space it is so large that from certain angles it is the only thing you can see. There are islands in the South Pacific that are only thousands of kilometers from any other land mass. and you know, in my opinion, this is just wasted space, there is a lot of space on earth, the cities are overcrowded and then there is a large portion of emptiness that can live here, fish, they have nothing to do, so here you go an idea of ​​

what

would happen if in an alternate timeline there was a landmass right here cody, please tell me you're not going to use some crazy theory from a pseudoarchaeologist to base this whole scenario on this is the

continent

of mu oh god, It was imagined by a 19th century archaeologist named Augustus Ley Plum John and then drawn on a map by fellow Mu enthusiast James Churchward, both guys and a few others actually believed that the

continent

of Mu was once a true lost land mass, So believe me, we're going to get to the stage. but I really want to talk about this first augustus les plancheon had dedicated himself to studying the pre-columbian ruins of the mayans and putting together the pieces of the puzzle of the past and, as was normal in the course of most 19th century archaeology, he just Totally Wrong, you see, Plunging was a great admirer of the Freemasons and it seems that the appeal of their secret fan club sometimes got in the way of archaeology.

He began seeing Masonic symbols everywhere in the Mayan ruins and began theorizing about how certain points in humans. history was really connected plonjon theorized that the mayan civilization was the first civilization in human history, all the others had originated from it now how did the ancestors of the greeks, the egyptians and basically any old world civilization crossing over from Atlantis, of course, this was it? The tamer part of the theory is that Panjon deciphered the Mayan writing or so he thought to conclude that this ancient society had a global telegraphic network that connected it with all other civilizations on earth, the Mayans were also masters of the mystical arts and psychics for this.

Bold New Discovery Panjon and his wife were considered pioneers of metaphysical archeology by the Russian mystic Madame Blavatsky. Yes, there was the psychic babushka who had a cult like the one in the late 19th century, that's a completely different story. Immerse yourself in taking this blessing and moving forward with your research into it. which had been largely dismissed by royal archaeologists after years of research, he finally came up with his master theory: one of the pictures on the wall looked like him. Two, the Mayans were descended from a great lost civilization that once existed on the South American coast. this global empire was ruled by the great queen moo queen moo had a secret and arcane knowledge of freemasonry which she passed on to ancient egypt klonjon concluded that when queen humor died her civilization literally separated from the americas and then I guess the entire continent de moo simply sank into the ocean, the only evidence of her existence is scattered in mayan ruins and maybe polynesians who know, none of that really matters because the main point that ponjon really wanted to hit is that queen moo was He has been reincarnated thousands of times until he finally turned around.

As his underage wife after Plan John's death, Moo's idea of ​​her was pursued by certain pseudoscience enthusiasts, including James Churchward. Churchward built on this completely new idea, drawing

what

the continent supposedly looked like, basically connecting the dots of several Polynesian islands. Looks good, Churchward proposed that Moo was actually the origin of humanity and the guardian of Eden, home of a lost race called the Nascars. The nascars colonize the entire world and everything is basically remnants of their fallen society and there you have it, that's why this land mass. It's shaped like that and it's called mu, if you hadn't realized by now, the continent of mu isn't a scientific theory, it was more or less the accidental byproduct of some crazy pseudoscientist who imagined his spookily younger wife was reincarnation of a mythical god. queen, even at the time this was seen as an outlandish idea, even if the theory of plate tectonics and knowledge of the ocean crust were not common knowledge at the time, you didn't need to be a scientist to think that this It was stupid nowadays.

It exists largely as a meme or as a basis for science fiction stories, it's an Atlantis without using Atlantis and I guess I'm using it today because, even though this continent never existed or had a decent reason to be imagined, it would be quite interesting. If it existed, what if this continent of mu really existed? There's no ancient civilization or Nascal or anything else, but it's just another landmass, the land just had another piece of crust that existed above the water, oh god, first plate tectonics. question of form this is just a big papua new guinea there is no way around that there is a big group called aml official that specifies and imagines realistic continents that follow plate tectonics.

However, I didn't want to just copy his homework when I think about mu I've gotten used to this way, as flawed as it is, let's ignore plate tectonics. Let's think of this as just taking the bottom of the oceanic crust and lifting it up, that's not how continental crust works, but it's a better foundation than just putting mountains anywhere. When it comes to imagining fantastical scenarios like this, at some points I really just have to fill in the blanks. I mean, all these videos at the end of the day are fiction, but I do my best to explain my reasoning for why something happens in a scenario that is never just random, but sometimes you know, for the sake of the video, I have to improvise, the only thing that is important is that this shape exists and the mountains are more or less around here with the breakup of pangea moo was just one of the land masses that were attached to gondwana, the southern continent, now I say this because I can imagining this landmass separating from austronesia more than from south and north america just by the nature of how the continents move due to this moose megafauna would be similar to other continents in the southern hemisphere, home to megafauna, marsupials, giant birds that are now as interesting as megafauna, where they live and how they evolve depends entirely on their environment, which leads to the question of what kind of climate in ecosystems would exist in mu because they are placing a huge continent in the middle of the currents of the

pacific

ocean will be drastically affected, which has important ramifications, but in the meantime we only worry about mu.

Now I had to take some liberties, but for the most part I came up with this map. You can debate which climate goes where and to be more specific, but to simplify, the south is much drier thanks to that cold ocean current, the northeast and west would constantly face storms and have hot and humid environments. In fact moo is quite unique as a continent and how uniform its climate would be considering moo is largely horizontal at the equator the only other comparison I could really make is Europe which thanks to its shape has a fairly uniform climate , at least compared to continents like Africa and America. which are largely vertical and have a very wild climate with all that taken care of, when would people show up?

Oceania was the last region on Earth inhabited by humans, so it's no surprise that Moo is the last fully populated continent until now. Even so, there would be some parts of this land mass that simply because of their size would have a longer history with humans than others. It is so large that it would encompass three regions of Oceania. In our history, the distance between these regions was so great that there were periods between migrations. Now, whether from the south or landing on the western peninsula, humans would not reach Namu until 1500 BC. C., while the Polynesians of our own timeline had periods where they discovered islands, settled and then set out to colonize new lands in this alternative timeline their settlement and culture would be radically different considering they would be the culture group of the soul on a previously unstable continent, this would be a discovery and transformation of a landmass that would not be seen until the Americas were colonized millennia later, which actually does not bode well for the muu megafauna that had not been disturbed for millions of years, humans, regardless of their culture, seem to have a habit of extinguishing wildlife that was not adapted to fear us, sadly as fascinating as these giant moo beasts probably would have been.

It is quite possible that in our alternative world future humans will learn as much from them as we do today through their fossils, missing them for only a few millennia, while navigation does not play as crucial a role in deep sea exploration, but it does play a role in close collaboration. Coastal navigation and, very importantly, trade From the time of the ancient Greeks onwards, another civilization in the Far East would be growing in the Pacific, people first settled on the westernmost coast of Mu, a land of dense rainforest in the valleys of melanis, while 1500 BC. C. seems short compared to In other parts of the world there is still enough time for cultures to dissipate, evolve and separate from each other.

Polynesian cultures would be more different from each other than in our own timeline because of all the time and distance it would take to colonize this land. En masse, the best example of this is simply this peninsula. I can see this being prime real estate for the first major center of an alternative Polynesian civilization. It could also be incredibly diverse thanks to a variety of valleys and mountains that would divide this land very similarly. Japan eventually perhaps this peninsula can be united thanks to its similar geography and climate, but for much of its history it will be divided with individual valleys forming their own city-states.

This peninsula would be very fortunate because its location right in the center of a commercial triangle the islands of the south

pacific

would act as a highway from one end to the other creating a new opportunity for trade between the aborigines australians of indonesia of east asia and the coast of polynesia one of the reasons I really wanted to make this video in the first place is that I found it simply fascinating how this continent would create an alternate trade triangle in our timeline. There was very little trade between the Polynesians and the civilizations of East Asia, mainly thanks to the great distance between the two and also because migration was largely a generational issue between islands in many ways. this part of the pacific becomes an eastern version of the mediterranean, the waters wouldn't be as calm of course, but the closer sea leads to a series of coastal trade routes, eventually a traitor will reach some kind of land, maybe it's whatever.

The alternative civilization could be city-states or a vast empire would be the last leg of an alternative Silk Road. There would never be an empire that encompasses most of Moo, of course, or even one that encompasses most of the west coast simply due to its size. This coast is one of the most populated places in the world, think of it as the moo equivalent of the Mediterranean, the yellow river or Mesoamerica or if there is some alternative river valley, a civilization that springs from there, I imagine how Eurasia had passes and America North had such flat grasslands in the driest center of the continent that it creates a culture of nomads descended from Polynesians who are disconnected from their oceanic origins and have chosen to live in warm savannahs without horses, these would not be the fast horsemen who could sack cities .

They would probably look like the bushmen of Australia and Central Africa, the further east we went the newer the settlements would become as it still takes generations for people to migrate to new lands. Easter Island in our timeline was not discovered until the year 800 and is very likely, since the entire continent takes up space in this alternate world, there are plenty of closer lands to settle on either way, the population is much more permanent. in the west than in the east, while coastal desert settlements may exist in the south, this is by far the smallest. populated part of the continent, but it is still interesting to imagine a desert people descended from Polynesians.

A lot of times, whenever I imagine these alternate geography videos, I can't go as deep when it comes to saying what the names of the nation would be or where the borders are. I mean I could, but then that would just be me listing a bunch of fictional inspiration nationsPolynesia that I just invented. I like to focus more on bigger trends that aren't just historical fan fiction and there are no bigger trends. In the scenario that trade and colonization, we have already discussed trade in the west, but what about trade in the east? You see, existence creates another cycle of currents just off the coast of the Americas, while fewer Polynesian explorers perhaps venture eastward. that would meet Mesoamerican civilizations and empires to trade and exchange.

How much contact Polynesians and Native Americans had in our timeline is debated. We know there is evidence of at least some contact, but never an extensive route that influenced both sides. It has been established that even with small islands to jump from the Polynesians probably still made the journey to contact the Incas if there was a massive continent in the Pacific this brief contact would evolve into an extensive trade network this would be a cultural exchange between the people who traveled further east and the people who existed in the far west, I mean, it's all relative, but you know what I mean about the way this changes the ocean currents, creates a natural waterway to travel to the coast and to the Americas in some way, mu becomes the final connection point.

In the global trade network a bridge between Asia and the Americas and because Mu is so large it would have two distinct regions, one more influenced by East Asia and the other influenced by Native American civilizations. Now I'm not saying there would be Native American civilizations in mu or that they would mix, but traits could be transferred like they always do through trade, you know. things like religious ideas writing styles borrowed words weapons and maybe even animals and plants if you wanted to go far enough you could imagine that this trade would be the saving grace for the new world in the context of what is to come in our line of At the time, the Polynesians were largely isolated from the rest of the world thanks to that vast ocean, there was no trade with China or anywhere else, yet with Moo they would be in contact with East Asia and the diseases of East Asia Moo could be subject to old world pandemics and more.

Over time, Polynesians could develop a resistance to diseases that they otherwise would not have had in our own history due to the nature of the contact and gradual trade that would occur across the continent, this It means that Polynesian traders in the eastern part of the continent would introduce old world diseases. first to the americas because they would not destabilize any institutions, it would be gradually over time, the natives of the americas could perhaps develop better resistance than they had in our own timeline, when eventually the Europeans arrive in the new world, perhaps the Aztecs, if they still existed, they would not easily fall into a plague because their population would have grown to tolerate the same diseases that Europeans had thanks to centuries of trade with Moo.

The Americas would not really be an isolated new world. Columbus's voyage, in any case, would simply be the last link in a trade network that for centuries had already spread around the world in Europe would be the far west that would finally connect with it, which brings us to well, I guess it's something I didn't really want to predict, but It's kind of an inevitable colonization, so before we get to this, let's talk about how my existence would change everything you would ever know, so here's the thing: you can't have a continent that big and not let so many things disappear. just for one. sea ​​level, we are taking the Pacific Ocean, the largest body of water on Earth, and placing a huge new continental shelf on it, this displaces an incredibly large amount of water, that the water has to go somewhere else and where it goes is towards sea level, which would increase dramatically. would be larger if this continent existed simply because of the amount of space it would take up, what that means is that all the civilizations in human history that are on the coast, you know, they just threw them away, none of them exist at least as we would know them, while it would be It's great to imagine ancient China trading with coastal China Moo as we would know it, it would be underwater; in fact, every major center of civilization would be any new state that emerged in this alternate Moo world would be dozens of kilometers inland compared to ours. for the most part it just butterflies everything, there are two pretty unsatisfying endings to this first one by any realistic standards.

The existing moo creates a world that is alien to what we know which in itself is a pretty general way to end the video. It's a bit of an escape, but on the other hand, if we ignore science and just dismiss everything by saying that the mu doesn't affect the world as we know it and that human history goes on for the most part as we know it, then eventually there will only be the emergence of Western colonialism because if muu does not affect the rest of history then this happens anyway it is a wall that always gets hit, so although it is not realistic to finish this scenario let's talk about it the colonization of the Pacific consisted of each nation was just taking islands here or there, so let's say European explorers come across mu, how does this happen?

There would be two possibilities of how they would do it, both Portuguese, both at about the same time, either by Magellan sailing from South America and landing on the easternmost peninsula or by the Portuguese trading in the East Indies, hearing from the locals about a large mass of land and venture eastwards to land on the west coast, if I could guess it would probably be like a pincer movement on both sides of moo explored by the Portuguese in the 16th century or at least the outer coast was discovered poor Australian style Portugal however, although they would be the first to find this even newer world, by agreement with the church they would not be able to claim it as this land legally.

It fell on Spanish territory, you know, considering that if you are Catholic and you hold this legal document of the Pope in high esteem, and although the Protestant world certainly doesn't, they wouldn't get there first, the Spanish would love it moo or at least those in the north. The coast, since the northern coast would be the perfect highway from Latin America to the Spanish Philippines, a dotted line of naval bases and shipyards alternate Spanish cities along the coast, although it is still possible that Moo is not depopulated due to epidemics , it is still very likely to be the native one. seed territory or grant land permission for the Spanish to colonize parts of the coast, probably by force, eventually over time, like the two surrounding territories, the northern part of Moo becomes a largely Polynesian town part of Spanish speaking, perhaps even creating the birth of new cities and mixtures. cultures like in all the places that Spain practically colonized.

If you know the history of Spain, you will know what is happening here now. Also note that the idea of ​​a lost city of gold and other myths that stimulated early exploration still exist. The movement is under the same scrutiny. like mesoamerica did in our timeline, i still can't say if the spaniards found gold or not, i imagine there were probably other valuable items that they would eventually discover, spain could never contain all of mu, though only mainly the north coast and simply because Because it is a highway, this would be considered part of the Spanish speaking world, this strip of northern Mu and perhaps the western peninsula included, Spain could never hold it forever, the Dutch are the next contenders likely to settle in the no - Spanish west coast, this region simply becomes an expansion of the Dutch East Indies, valuable real estate in the East Asian trade, if the British French and hey, maybe the Germans tried to take territory, they would be left with a species leftovers from the undesirable parts of the continent. like the drier southern and colder southeastern areas that aren't really close to anything and don't really go anywhere else, it wouldn't be until the industrial revolution, where any attempt was made to delve into moo, this continent would still be As mysterious to Europeans as central Africa was before the 19th century, keep in mind that this is still a landscape of savanna and dense jungle, the desert regions would have small strips of temperate coastline that could perhaps be the perfect location for British colonies. , think of this area as maybe a third of a British ocean triangle if we wanted to include the united states in this then the Spanish mu becomes front and center of any territorial expansion the Americans plan to make, whether in a strikingly similar Spanish-American War or simply as a series of excursions to take this movement for the Americans becomes another part of manifest destiny perhaps being seen as the next step in taking such a large portion of the Pacific that it may even be a refuge for the religious and political dissidents of the americas the Mormons settled in the The interior attempts to convert the natives of Polynesia at the beginning of the 20th century by following this path which, by the way, does not change anything, by the way, results in the continent follow a similar position to the rest of the empire-dominated world until the collapse of the empire. and decolonization happens and I mean decolonization happened after World War II so if somehow World War II still happened I imagine the Japanese would try to take this peninsula and the Americans and the Japanese would fight over this coast , it would probably change the dynamic of the entire Pacific War, since instead of island hopping, it would be a kind of coast hopping with the Japanese retreating further and further into the interior of the continent, not that it would probably change much the outcome of the war at the end of this long and extensive alternate history Polynesia.

While once home to empires, city-states and simply vast tribal networks splintered over centuries of cultural change and colonization, the tribes and cultures that changed the least, ironically, would be those that originally inhabited the places furthest from the sea. , poetically, those that kept their cultural roots would be the furthest from that, so yes, I knew people would complain if I didn't include all that information, so if the mood existed, of course, we could never really know what this would result in, but I like to imagine that for at least a while, if moo had existed, it would lead to a series of trade and connectivity between parts of the world that in our timeline rarely if ever interacted just by changing our geography we change history and I really like looking at this map and imagining how complex it is. network, I could have generated it in the end, thanks to Churchword and all the crazy people who ever believed in moo.

Your theories were crazy and didn't make any sense, but it sure was a fun thought experiment. Know? Churchward believed that moo sank beneath the waves in his book, the lost continent of mu churchward, he says that civilization and the landmass were thriving until dangerous hackers took down the security of moo's global psychic connection, which is why moon needed nord vpn oh no, not again, that's right jimmy, this was a sponsor all along. Can you stop including me in these ad readings? I have a life outside of this. You know I have a family. You see, Jimmy Moo may not have been able to escape the cold depths of the Pacific Ocean, but you can escape having your information online. being discovered by insidious wells almost overdue even though these sponsor reads are styled like an 80s infomercial.

I've had nordvpn since time began. I use it for any online activity, not only using its next-generation encryption to keep my information safe, but also to bypass firewalls and jump around the world to explore the other side of the region lock, speaking of those who are nearby of the wells, they will have to try harder with nordvpn's new threat protection.

Easy, even Jimmy can do it. I've finished now. I'm tired of being included in these. They're getting worse, so if you want Japanese Netflix, click the link in the description to get a two-year plan at a deep discount. an extra month free by going to nordvpn.com alt hist okay, goodbye forever, jimmy, don't open that door, I didn't activate rental protection, why are you guys dressed like thieves?, don't stop, stop, jimmy, you have to run away of those insidious ones that are about to win. Well, they want your information online. I'm getting beat up by generic working thieves.

I can not run. They want your IP address. Jimmy. They want to deceive you. They are physically abusing my body. There is no computer in this situation. You should have used. threat protection jimmy i'm out i'm just sponsored why is reality itself now in your vpn ad? It is not an ad for nor vpn jimmy it is an integration of nordvpn nordvpn.com you
