where was/is Old Zealand?

Answer 1

Old Zealand is known today as Atlantis. It was formerly a land mass attached to what is now New Zealand but broke away during a cataclysmic earthquake sometime in the 3rd century. As the mass floated freely throught the years it finally came to rest in the Southern Atlantic - thus the reference to Atlantis.

Legend has it that there was another event that actually caused a whirlpool to open up and take Atlantis down into the sea. Historians and treasure seekers still seek today to discover the exact spot of Old Zealand's demise.

Answer 2

I take it you mean in relation to New Zealand. New Zealand was discovered by the Dutch. In Holland there is a province called Zeeland. That's your old Zealand!
