Markers on the Earth
I put aside the Whys and Wherefores to more carefully investigate the tangible Whats. I decided to use a good detailed map of the two curious areas and mark them up with anything I could find that tied them together OR distinguished them. Because of distortions in different map projections, I compared several to verify or refine. I wanted to look at the physical evidence and see what that might suggest. Maybe a solution to this puzzle would present itself. In the meantime, I kept on hearing whispers from Atlantis.
I dubbed the locations AEast for Atlantis East (South Pacific island area) and AWest for Atlantis West (Caribbean and Central America). I used these location names just for shorter, unique designations and to obscure the Atlantis aspect at least a little. By this point I also wanted to avoid typing 'Atlantis' when possible. Also, I purposely did not want to try to align any location with names like Lemuria and Mu because other variations on the Atlantis theme have made these names and their location confusing.
As I listed my findings, I assigned nicknames to formations which I do not see named otherwise, but since I see the effects reflected in both places, they simply must be tagged. What I was looking for were those 'regular irregularites', ie, features upon the Earth which are not easily explained by ordinary geology, such as ocean currents and so forth. I have clipped from a variety of maps here based on detail and filesize, just to aid understanding.
| Feature |
AWest |
AEast |
|
| general appearance |
 Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, Central America to South America |
 South Pacific islands between China and Australia, ala Indonesia, etc |
| The overall comparison here is the westside curve of both places and the spun look of what appears to be remnants of land, from some unexplained but similar and perhaps simultaneous event. Certainly not precise twins, but similar enough to investigate. |
|
northeast
deep point |
Milwaukee Deep, at end of Puerto Rico Trench (2nd deepest known point in any ocean) |
Challenger Deep, at end of Mariana Trench (deepest known point in any ocean) |
southwest
deep point |
Hess Deep, obviously a deep point as well as a triple junction of Cocos, Nazca and Pacific Plates |
Deep within the Java/Sunda Trench (Indian Ocean) (3rd deepest known point in any ocean) |
| |
 |
 |
| Besides the obvious correlation of deep point pairs, the distance between the northeast and southwest points is virtually the same in both locations. Also, if one drew a line between the deeps in each location, the angles of these lines are very close. |
|
| "brow" channel |
vertical double arc or 'brow' of tiny islands and substrate extending from west of Puerto Rico down through the Venezuelan coast |
vertical double arc or 'brow' of islands and substrate extending north from Challenger Deep, inside the arc of Mariana Trench |
| These are the same size, although they appear to be pointed in opposite directions, ie, one south and one north. The one in AWest continues into South America. Unsure of the mechanism but they are curved contrary to ocean currents in each location, thus similar in that respect too. They each deflect the ocean current rather than being shaped by it, remaining curved against it in each place. They do follow the curve and trench of broken plates. That explains them individually, it does not explain why they seem to be related to each other. |
 There is another more distinct 'brow' within AWest (following the curve of Cuba), at a 90° angle to the others, but it is not visibly echoed in AEast. The possible area is around the Celebes Sea, but if so, it has been changed too much to really validate a reflection of this feature. Interesting to note that the deep east-west cut, being the edge of a tectonic plate, seems to have literally cut apart a formerly whole land mass, separating what are now the Yucatan and Honduras. The arc of Cuba is not explained by the tectonic configuration. Also note that in all three cases, there is an outer arc and an inner line which defines the brow. This inner structure of the other two brows is not explained by the tectonics. |

"fish hook" channel
(J outline added to show hooks, large dot indicates center between deeps) |
a partial loop, fish hook, or J-shaped channel just southeast of center between the deep points - within the nook where Panama connects to Colombia, SA |
a partial loop, fish hook, or J-shaped channel just southeast of center between the deep points - hooking around the Banda Sea within Indonesia |
| These are the same size and hooked or looped in the same direction (clockwise or to the right/east), at the same distance from center, AND at nearly the same angle (proportionally tilted to other features). While the ocean current hitting land might explain the one in AWest, that does not explain its twin in AEast. The ocean currents do not bear out a cause there, yet the substrate is indeed shaped much like that portion of the Columbian coast. In fact, it appears that the land forming may be due to the hook encouraging sediment deposits, ie, whatever the hook mechanism is, it appears to have been there before the land began to build up in it. |
|
"peninsula"
|
the peninsula of Baja California, separated by the Sea of Cortez |
the strip of Andaman and Nicobar Islands separated by Andaman Sea |
| These structures are about the same length and cut in the same direction, although certainly there is a difference in the currently exposed land area. Most of the 'peninsula' in AEast is submerged. Yet there is a reasonable echo visible in the subtrate formation and the loop forming a sea. Also, each of these is to the west side of their respective locations, ie, they are each located in approximately the same place (northwest) relative to their respective deep points. Thus the similarity of their shape plus location makes them viable markers. |
| Note: As with other features, AEast seems to be deeper struck than AWest. |

tectonic
plate
cracks |
area between the two deeps is the heart of a multiple fracture zone |
area between the two deeps is the heart of a multiple fracture zone |
Particularly in AEast, it is clear that the center point between the deeps could be a bullseye on a major stress point. If the ends of those lines are the deepest, where force was punched into the Earth, then the area between may have been broken by a massive pulling or bulging force. It appears to me that the same event could have caused stress cracking in both places, through the same mechanism, perhaps at the same time.
I also note that the deep points are not explained as simply 'end points' for tectonic arcs. Challenger deep is indeed at the end of the Mariana Trench, but the break continues southwestward. The southwest deep in the Indian Ocean is not at the end of the Java/Sunda Trench. Milwaukee Deep is arguably at the end of the Puerto Rico Trench but that arc is just the curved portion of the whole Caribbean Plate, so it really has no end point.

Fine. Now what did I have? For one thing, I felt sure that this list sufficiently documented the uncoincidental, parallel nature of the sites. But, it's still just a clearer picture of the potential scene of an accident and no answers about how it occurred.
