    I notice at the start of this video every continent was named except for Australia? A complete disregard for the worlds oldest continent why?

    Very enjoyable, but if I may, I believe, based on the scars along the coast, and based on ancient maps, that Italy was once a row of volcanoes running west to east, and attached at the Gibraltar Strait. At some point billions of years ago, they became detached, and for a while Italy was an island, until it ploughed into the Spanish coast and has since been crawling its way to where it is now, and it's still moving. If you look at the top of Italy, you'll see a half hexagon shape where it attaches to the Alps. Energy from volcanic flows and earthquakes is directed along the fault line that runs ahead of Italy, gathering first at Greece. When this charge becomes sufficiently strong, Italy becomes a cannon, and this speeds up its travel and decimates and spreads the land in the path of the cannon. This can be seen in the landscape and the sea floor at the mouth of the Gibraltar Strait, then again between Spain and France (the big chunk that is missing), and then again where Doggerland used to be. It can also be seen in the geological maps of Europe. Those half hexagon shapes can be seen along that coast line, with the largest one running between Valencia and Barcelona, with another at Montpelier. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on my theory.

    Calling it Spain and not Iberia? Why? Why is Portugal always forgotten?

    Not Spain- Iberia. There are two countries in the Iberian microcontinent.

    Man, making fantasy maps is really hard when there's so much random stuff that can happen to the plates.

    This lost credulity for me because no mention of plate tectonics but when you show a picture of an ancient sea "seen" by Olivier Gonet I have to ask how old is he? His statement about artists and poets is utter rubbish for most of human history man has not known that the continents drift so why would they write or sing about it? The last part of his statement only makes sense if he had been on the cognac before he wrote it.
