The evidence for this was drawn from the existence of the Argo Abyssal Plain northwestwards off Australia. An October 2023 article by Advokaat and van Hinsbergen attempted to reconstruct Argoland, where it is suggested that it was an archipelago rather than a solid continent and currently its Gondwana-derived fragments are southwest Borneo, Greater Paternoster, East Java, South Sulawesi, West Burma block, and Mount Victoria Land block.
For some time the evolution of Argoland was unknown. Researchers expected to find a submerged continent under the islands of Southeastern Asia, but none were found. There were a number of hypothesis, e.g., suggesting that its remains are East Java-West Sulawesi, or it evolved to West Burma. However these suggestions seemed controversial, since these areas were surrounded by much older remnants, dating up to 205 Ma ago, which would poorly match the current theories of plate tectonics.
