A continent that was hidden from the earth 15.5 million years ago. Scientists have revealed information regarding this continent known as Argoland. Argoland lay adjacent to Western Australia. But due to the action of extraterrestrial forces, this land mass became separated from Western Australia. It also disappeared near Southeast Asia.

Scientists already knew regarding the separation of this land from Australia 15.5 million years ago. The discovery was made in the Argo Abyssal Plain, located on the northeast coast of Australia. Many landmasses in the world have separated and merged in the past. For example, the Indian landmass separated from the ancient supercontinent Gondwana 12 million years ago. But even today it remains as a land.

But this was not the fate of Argoland. After breaking away from Australia, Argoland became scattered. The scientific world had no idea where this ancient continent ended. New research puts an end to this puzzle. Scientists estimated that Argoland ended north of Australia. Scientists then decided to focus on Southeast Asia.
The scientific team from the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands took the helm of the research. They recreated the journey to Argoland. They discovered ancient landmasses between Indonesia and Myanmar. Scientists say that Argoland disintegrated and merged with many landmasses in the region. This phenomenon has also led to the development of great biodiversity in the region.
