Call Of Atlantis Crack' title='Call Of Atlantis Crack' />A Geologists Adventures with Bimini Beachrock and Atlantis True Believers. Natural submerged beachrock off the island of Bimini in the Bahamas has been deemed a remnant of Atlantis by the faithful since the 1. In spite of geological research demonstrating the stones are natural, true believers continue to be drawn by the strong force field. There are many stories like Champ, the Loch Ness monster, UFOs, and other popular myths that seem to acquire a life of their own. In fifteen feet of water off the Bahamian island of Bimini lie several rows of tabular limestone boulders that true believers adamantly contend are remnants of the mythical citystate of Atlantis. The reader has probably seen these underwater stones on numerous TV shows and documentaries. Even the History Channel recently did a piece on it. The programs follow a familiar theme After showing and describing the wonders, the narration will end something like, No one really knows the true origin of these stones. Could it really be Atlantis True believers, of course, have made up their minds. As a geologist I did a thorough study of the site in the mid 1. I first began subscribing to the Skeptical Inquirer. In the mid 1. 97. I was director of a small field station for the U. S. Geological Survey USGS located on Fisher Island off Miami Beach. We worked in collaboration with the University of Miamis Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. Our reputation was enhanced because we had developed a diver operated coring device that for the first time allowed inexpensive underwater core sampling. It was because of our core drill that a well known writer, adventurer, and New Age thinker, Peter Tompkins, asked if we would go to Bimini just fifty miles from our field station to core and determine if the site could indeed be lost Atlantis. We refused the first request, fearing damage to our reputations. The prospect was outside our mission. After Peter contacted our headquarters in Reston, Virginia, I received a phone call. When I explained that the limestone blocks had previously been identified as natural beachrock, I was advised to make my own decision. I knew something about the so called cyclopean megalith roadway because a Miami graduate student, John Gifford, had recently completed a study of the stones sponsored by the National Geographic Society. The study was published several years later Gifford and Ball 1. After consultation within our group, we decided on a plan that promised to be interesting and fun yet provide a public service while at the same time not embarrassing to the USGS. Who could turn down an opportunity to dive in the clear waters off Bimini on weekends at no costWe agreed to do the investigation on weekends, provided we could pick the boat and the captain. The first weekend trip was aboard a Florida Institute of Technology research vessel that supplied student help.

We cored two of the huge stones and demonstrated to our satisfaction that they were indeed beachrock. Beachrock is rock that forms near mid tide level beneath the sand on tropical beaches. It is a very distinctive rock that forms rapidly. Tidal fluctuation constantly forces calcium carbonate rich waters through the sands where evaporation and off gassing of carbon dioxide probably help stimulate precipitation of calcium carbonate. Within a few years, crystals of aragonite, a common marine form of calcium carbonate, precipitate between the grains, welding them together to form a very hard limestone. There are beach rocks around some Pacific islands that contain human skeletons and shell casings from World War II. At Bimini and along other Bahamian islands, many swimming beaches are lined with beachrock that is forming today. They contain imbedded Coke and beer bottles. When sea level rises, as it has done during the past 1. Such is the case with the supposed Atlantis stones off North Bimini. When our drill cores showed the older beachrock was identical to that forming on the main swimming beach at Bimini, there was much concern. Whereas the modern rock contains discarded bottles, there were no artifacts, no wheel ruts, or any other evidence of an ancient civilization in or around the fifteen foot deep site. We thought the quest was over and there would be no more fun weekends in Bimini. Instead it was just the beginning of a long adventure that continues today. When confronted with the beachrock evidence, Tompkins posed a difficult question What if beachrock was the only building material available for the Atlanteans We needed an answer, so we approached the question using forensic geology. If the stones had not been moved since they formed, they should all contain beach sand stratification dipping in the same direction as when it formed, i. If the stones had been placed by humans, then internal stratification probably would dip in different directions. We reasoned that Atlanteans, although reputed to have had advanced technology, were not aware of internal stratification within beaches and beachrock. If they fitted the stones, they surely would have selected for the best fit.

Thus, some stones should contain stratification dipping the wrong way. Our plan was to take seventeen oriented cores from separate adjacent stones. Soon we had a real expedition planned, and a local PBS station was brought in by Tompkins to supervise a documentary. Voluntary Early Release Program Army more.

Coarse shell fragments that compose the rock are roughly the same size as those on the present day swimming beach at Bimini. Why did people believe Atlantis was near Bimini in the first place The answer lies in the predictions of Edgar Cayce, a popular healer in the 1. Cayce, known as the Sleeping Prophet, also believed in reincarnation. While doing a reading, he reportedly discovered his patient was a reincarnated Atlantean. When asked where Atlantis was, the patient said in the Bahamas near Bimini. This comment, along with others, was recorded in his writings. Cayce became so popular he went on to form a huge following including a foundation in Virginia Beach, Virginia. His story is told in the JanuaryFebruary 1. Skeptical Inquirer Beyerstein 1. Thus, when someone familiar with his pronouncements discovered the rows of stones in the early 1. Cayces revelation. One such person to make the link was Valentine 1. Soon hundreds of snorkelers and divers descended on the site. The vista in clear water is impressive, and without specialized knowledge, most visitors would swim in awe. The Cayce Foundation funded Edward Zink to investigate. Zink, a professor of English, spent several summers examining the site.

Crack the Skye Wikipedia. Crack the Skye is the fourth studio album by American heavy metal band Mastodon, released on March 2. Reprise Records. 45 The album debuted at number 1. Billboard 2. 00, selling 4. In Australia, the album debuted at number 1. It had sold 2. 00,0. US as of September 2. According to an interview on the DVD The Making of Crack the Skye, this album represents the element of aether, which is represented by the souls and spirits of all things, a theme closely related to the context of the album. Because the elements of fire, water and earth have already represented by the bands first three albums Remission, Leviathan and Blood Mountain, respectively, the element of air is the only classical element which has yet to be represented by a Mastodon album, as their follow up studio albums The Hunter and Once More Round The Sun do not represent an element, nor are they concept albums. Crack the Skye is the first studio album to feature drummer Brann Dailor as the bands third lead vocalist. Musical and lyrical themesedit. The band in Southern Tracks recording studio in Atlanta, Georgia. Drummer Brann Dailor described the album as more focused9 than its predecessor, Blood Mountain Maybe there was a deeper heart to this record that needed more exploring We got more involved with feeling the vibe of the record and everything feels more creepy and spaced out and something special is going on. Vocalistbassist Troy Sanders said in an interview with Stereogum, Crack The Skye is a departure from everything weve previously recorded in the sense that we kinda strapped on our aeroshells and departed from Earth for a while, and then captained to the ethereal element of the universe and kind of slept on the roof of the world for a while to get a perspective on this record. Basically were exploring the ethereal world. Were dissecting the dark matter that dominates the universe, in a nutshell. When asked in multiple interviews Dailor said the record would tell a story dealing variously with the art aesthetics of Tsarist Russia, astral travel, out of body experiences and Stephen Hawkings theories on wormholes. There is a paraplegic and the only way that he can go anywhere is if he astral travels. He goes out of his body, into outer space and a bit like Icarus, he goes too close to the sun, burning off the golden umbilical cord that is attached to his solar plexus. So he is in outer space and he is lost, he gets sucked into a wormhole, he ends up in the spirit realm and he talks to spirits telling them that he is not really dead. So they send him to the Russian cult, they use him in a divination and they find out his problem. They decide they are going to help him. They put his soul inside Rasputins body. Rasputin goes to usurp the czar and he is murdered. The two souls fly out of Rasputins body through the crack in the skye and Rasputin is the wise man that is trying to lead the child home to his body because his parents have discovered him by now and think that he is dead. Rasputin needs to get him back into his body before its too late. But they end up running into the Devil along the way and the Devil tries to steal their souls and bring them downthere are some obstacles along the way. Dailor has also said that Crack the Skye is meant as an homage to his sister, Skye Dailor, who committed suicide at age 1. My sister passed away when I was a teenager and it was awful, and theres no better way to pay tribute to a lost loved one than having an opportunity to be in a group with my friends and we make art together. Her name was Skye, so Crack the Skye means a lot of different things. For me personally, it means the moment of being told you lost someone dear to you, that moment is enough to crack the sky. Scott Kelly, who guested on the title track, has this to say about the song that song was a really, really heavy song to do. That song was about Branns sister and how she passed away, and it was a story that I was very familiar with from knowing Brann. When he decided to do that, he called me up to talk to me about it and said this is what I wanna do and I really, really want you to sing the song and I said, you know sure, I will. I took it really seriously and I emailed with Branns Dad a couple of times and just talked to him about Skye, and then he sent me a photograph of her actually, and I sat there and looked at that photograph of her and just kinda meditated on her and on all of the situation, and the family and then actually set all that shit up in the studio and recorded the song with her picture there, and I just really tried to do it as real as I felt I could. PackagingeditPaul Romano, who had done all of Mastodons album artwork to that point,citation needed created the art for Crack the Skye. The piece features various ethereal images tied in closely with the overall concept of the record. Crack the Skye was released in two editions the Standard and the Limited Edition. The latter has an elaborate packaging with a tunnel book that, when looked through, reveals three dimensional like imagery. A hidden picture of Brann Dailors sister, Skye, can be seen on both sides of the tunnel book as well. ReleaseeditCrack the Skye has been released as standard CD version and CDDVD version, which included a bonus DVD with a documentary and a track commentary. Furthermore, standard single disc LP and limited edition 2x. LP were released. A super deluxe CDDVD version that includes a tunnel book and a lithograph of the album art sold out during pre orders, and a Royal Edition with a CD of the instrumental versions of the songs and an entirely new black and gold artwork was released the December 1.

Decibel, who named Blood Mountain as their number 1 album of 2. Crack the Skye a 71. Joe Gross responded that Crack is clearly designed as a grower, not a shower, the sound of a band that grew tired of people not responding to their ground game, so they put the ball in the air.
