| Dec 1, 2022 at 1:12 | comment | added | AlexP | The article you linked does not have even one single example of any submerged landform, let alone 21. It has only one example, and that is an island which, being an island, is obviously not submerged: all we can say for sure is that the island has a name in one of the indigenous languages. Of course it has a name. (Yes, the article includes a map. Not clear what it is supposed to represent, given that the names on the map are clearly English.) | |

| Nov 29, 2022 at 21:57 | comment | added | AlexP | "The oral history of indigenous Australians successfully identifying landforms all around the continent which were submerged at the end of the last ice age over 7,000 years ago": Can you give one example of a submerged land form which was discovered based on the data provided by the fairy tales told by indigenous Australians? A submerged mountain, a drowned river bed... You know, like Schliemann discovering Troy based on the data provided by Homer's Iliad. (At least, about Troy, people had always known approximately where it had been; the district being actually called the Troad...) | |
