How an island could have been listed where none existed remains a mystery, though old maps often carried over inaccurate information from earlier charts.

Mexican have long bounced around conspiracy theories about the affair.

“There are some who say the United States bombed it,” journalist Carlos Loret wrote in a column in El Universal newspaper. “Others say it was sunk by global warming, and others think it was an earthquake.”

Cardenas dismissed the bombing rumors as “fantasy.”

“That would have been something that would have been very noticeable,” he said.

How the heck can an island just disappear without anyone noticing? :yikes: Maybe its the island of Atlantis?

Many islands are the result of volcanic activity. They grow, and sometimes, they blow up and disappear.

But would this make Mexico's claim to the area less valid? The land might not be there now, but if it once was....
