that everyone was direly searching for????? My guess is that Mt. Everest was what that island formed around since it's the highest piece of rock in the world. The remains of the two people found there after the discovery were clearly East Asian. That's a clue.

The map tattoo on Enola's back is in Chinese traditional characters (or Japanese Kanji). The characters in the middle surrounding the arrow are actual coordinates for longitude and latitude. While one number is not quite readable, the others give almost exact coordinates for Mount Everest, which is Latitude 27 59' N Longitude 86 56' E. The movie coordinates give: Latitude 27 or 28 58' N Longitude 86 56' E.

Yea, it's much more in line with the older expanding and contracting Earth hypothesis. The reason we see matching rock strata across oceans was the Earth used to be smaller and expanded. If it then contracted all the land would be closer to the center and the water that collected would cover it. It wasn't until the Cold War mapping of the ocean by the military did we get strong evidence for continental drift.
