Asia to Australia, Land Bridge virtually exists today
One of the most recurring myths is the cultural, racial, and geographic isolation of Australia from the rest of the world.
I would like to take 5 minutes and dispel this myth as a ridiculous urban legend, since even in modern times, today, there is a virtual "Land Bridge" between Asia and Australia.
There is no open ocean expanse from Asia to Australia larger than 120 miles, and usually less than 15 miles, in depths very shallow, none more than 600 feet that I could determine. In fact, the average depth of those few ocean expanses is probably less than 50 feet deep.
The only questionable distance is the ocean expanse from Sidabadu, New Guinea, and Cape York, Queensland, Australia. That 120 mile stretch is dotted with about 20 intermediate islands, making it easily crossable. (red circle inset)
I am sure I don't need to add that ancient roads, convergences, geometrics, are all visible in the deeper parts of this image, down to 17,000 feet deep.
My next challenge to present and legend to debunk, is the "geographic isolation of Australia from Africa". The last alleged "land bridge" between these two continents is guessed at over a million years ago. I am suggesting that 10,000 years of isolation is probably a better number, but that is my next graphic.
