Name and Location.

CAPE OF RODON (Redon).
The surprises that Landscape of Durresi Area offers to us never stops. This time will talk about the amazing collisions of mythology and history of this area that sometimes can pass through our attentions without even notice it.
Up north Durresi’s bay there is a location that can tell so much to us about the perfect match of Plato’s tale with the history and mythology of the area that we all are interested
This location is up north Durresi Bay , beyond the Cape of Pali and it is called the Cape of RODON. The bay that is in this Area is called the Bay of Rodon too.
Now who knows the Illyrian mythology knows pretty well that Poseidon was called Rodon(or Redon) and this name is pretty much the same with the modern Albanian Rethon=Circle(around)etc. In Italian take the form of Rotondo. Pretty much in all Latin languages takes the similar form. Redon is a pretty common Albanian name too.
Like Redon Makashi for example ( a very famous Albanian singer in Albania).
On the other hand the ancient name of Durresi beside Epidamnos is DyRachiom=Dirrethon (ancient Albanian or illyrian) .It is evident the connection of this names with the figure of the god Poseidon and mostly with the presence of circular definition .Now in Plato’s tale Poseidon is the main figure in creation of Atlantis Island.In fact he must be consider as the Father Atlantis. It all started from him. Now the presence of his name not for away from the Bay of Durresi is nether the less intriguing. Now this thing becomes more interesting if we consider the fact that in this area were discovered at list three protohellenic temples . All Porto Romano and Spitalla Area.
LIFE TIME EVENT.
Now lets take a good look to the Bay of Durresi again. You will see on the map that there is an anomaly regarding the depth of the Bay. We know that the diameter of the bay is 15km but the depth of it barely reaches 5m half way of this diameter, point C-0 (direction east-west).Now from this point B (which is the center of the Durresi,s Bay) till the other half ,point A the depth reaches 21m(sometimes even 34m).That is a huge diference.It tells us that there is great chance of possible major sea floor shift caused by a tremendous seismic activity. As we all know Bay of Durresi is considered Lagoon too .But lagoons are penetrations of sea into the dry land which are connected to the sea by one or more canals. At this time Durresi,s Bay does not offer this appearance at all to us. By that we understand that rest of Lagoon was destroyed from this cataclysmic event. Imagine a city (Atlantis) build inside a lagoon (like Venezia) being swallowed by the sea in one in a life time event. A tremendous seismic activity that brakes in half the city and floods the rest of it . Entire city and lagoon swept away by the force of a tsunami that I can’t even imagine the force of its destruction. If you refer to the map you will see that entire coast of Durresi area was affected by this cataclysmic event. The dark area of the sea floor shows that. This area used to be Dryland =Tauland(thauland).
By the way. The world organizations issued a Red Alert for the area of Gulf of Otranto as major risk tsunami and earthquake source.(after the earthquake at the southeast coast of RODOS island in Greece 15/07/2008 of magnitude 6.3righter).GOD help us ALL.
