Dinosaurs were still alive. Argoland then extended to the northwest of Australia, over 5,000 kilometers, or five times the distance that separates the north and south of France. It’s difficult, a priori, not to notice it. And yet, this continent has almost disappeared! If we postulate the existence of this “land of Argo” for thirty-five years, we have had all the difficulty in the world identifying it under the ocean or among the emerged lands. Did it plunge into the bowels of the Earth, under the effect of plate tectonics? The answer is no ! This “lost continent”, recently described in the literature as a “hot topic of geological exploration”, is finally revealed. And it doesn’t really look like what we imagined.
