Forensic geologist Scott Wolter returns from the UK with a package sealed in wax. A collector who holds more than 160 Knights Templar ritual artifacts, said to have been found under the Charola at Tomar, Portugal, in 1960, gave it to him and said it held information on a site he connects to Atlantis. Scott opens it on camera, and he and Randall see what is inside for the first time, together.
First Scott walks through photos of objects the collector says divers recovered from 60 to 90 feet of water: a piece he calls a "Baghdad battery," slag welded to graphite, ceramic with slag fused to it, and a drilled stone with marine growth. Then the package: pages in Portuguese, maps, aerial and underwater photographs of what look like straight-edged structures on the sea floor, a sketch of their layout, and coordinates that Randall plots off the coast of Lisbon.
Randall puts the photos in context with sea level. At the last glacial maximum the sea stood about 400 feet lower, and the shelf off Portugal was dry land. Anything 90 feet down was drowned, in his estimate, at least 8,000 to 10,000 years ago. That is a minimum age: it tells us when the sea reached it, not when it was built. On Google Earth he follows the old coastline, the Ice Age path of the Gulf Stream, and the Azores Plateau, which he argues stood much shallower, and in places above water, when sea level was lower.
They close on a working hypothesis, not a conclusion: the Azores may once have been part of a larger land mass, and Plato wrote that Atlantis had outlying colonies. Scott will take their questions back to the collector, and they plan to follow up.

ABOUT
Randall Carlson is a researcher, geologist, and master builder who has spent more than five decades documenting evidence for cyclical cosmic catastrophes. His work centers on the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis, the Ice Age megafloods that scoured the Pacific Northwest, and the sacred geometry encoded in ancient architecture across the world. He hosts the Squaring the Circle Podcast and continues to lead field expeditions to investigate these questions firsthand.
