Highlights: How Researchers Found Argoland, the Lost Continent. This earth, whose existence has been postulated for 35 years, is thought to have separated from Australia 155 million years ago and is now in the United States. Argoland then extended to the north-west of Australia, for 5,000 kilometres, five times the distance between the north and south of France. And yet, this continent has disappeared!
