good point

obviously the story has some truth to it, if it didnt then there would be no story..

very good point you made there AssAsinX

Sorry to let you in on the secret but Atlantis doesnt exist, in all probability it never ever did.

The technology, described society & supposed locations make the likelihood of its existance very slim indeed at least without some kind of outside help (and by outside help yes i do mean aliens like the nox/asgard etc)


Not to mention the size of the population needed to keep such a city alive (tradesmen/cleaners etc, all the 'under' classes) would be very lucky to exist on the food generated by the city, such classes who are the very lifeforce of such places would be near constant stavation if we assume the the supposed sizes of the city / cultivated areas are correct.

Sorry its just too hard to see how it could exist and even if it did how it could sustain itself

good point thank you for your opinion but i still beleve it exsists

nice topic and you seem to have done your homework but i might have a new theroy for you

atlantis is was not built on a normal bit of land it was built on a small plate made from the earths crust that sits on the ocean floor not attached to the earth. (now the bit that makes it all work) atlantis sits atop many sulfur funnels which blast super heated water and sulfide gases up into the botom of atlantis. now the plate is more of an upturned bowl shape so that all of the gas gets trapped underneath and slowly make atlantis more boyant untill eventally it reaches a point where it rises to the surface, people find it and settle on it but now that new gas is not being added the excess weight from the settlement cause it to sink back below the ocean.

and that is how you get the sinking city of atlantis

not a huge amount more to tell as the gas lifts the continent the city is once more above the water when too much gas escapes or too much is built on it it sinks again.

i could work out the exact amount of gas and time that it would theoretically take but that would take a bit of time and effort and so would have to be worth at least 100bill naq

lol i have 100bil naq easyily but no thanks lol i will google him lol well im off to bed im tired

I think I read or heard something about Atlantis supposed to rise to in glory again to rule over man? Maybe it was in a non-fic book but I read alot so who knows?

kk thanks Lonewolf1968 man good to speak too u again well to bad i gotta go to bed lol im shattered well hope your on tommorow coz im fighting with jj right now lol and currently i think im winning lol well speak to you tommorow m8 and lets find another good thing to talk about

sorry to burst all your bubbles guys BUT...there was NEVER any continent known as "Atlantis", there was a city state known by that name, but NOT the continent, the continent was called Appalachia

the city state of Atlantis is not myth or legend but was in fact a reality. there are many recorded story's about Atlantis from all over the world, Atlantis was known to the druidic irish, Chinese, the Indian nations of America, and all over Europe and the middle east, because the Atlantians traded with everyone on the globe.

it was first believed that the ancients from say the middle east never knew of the existence of the Americas, well this has now been proven wrong and that the ancients did in fact trade with all parts of the globe, go research it for yourselves. look up the Piri Reis maps, they should prove beyond ALL doubt that the modern version of history is SERIOUSLY flawed!!!

and as for Plato being the first person to write about Atlantis, this is incorrect, Plato's writings of Atlantis are the only ones excepted by scholars as being the first and only recordings but there are other recordings of Atlantis, these are disregarded by the so called experts because if they did except them, they would completely kill earth and mans officially excepted chronological dates...its politics.

you also have to keep in mind that civilization is FAAAAAR older than we are taught and lead to believe, historians are doing man and earths history a grave injustice, even the Greek civilization is FAAR older.

earth has suffered MANY cataclysms and much of mans story has been destroyed, the Egyptians told as much to Herodotus, Herodotus was told by the Egyptians that the Greeks were a young race because they had forgotten much of their history due to one disaster or another destroying the Greek Libraries, so when we take that into account, who is to say that Plato (probably the greatest philosopher of all time) is nothing more than a liar at worst a story teller at best?!

Very enlightened theory there KMA. You almost sound like Daniel Jackson. LOL. I would be interested to know the source of your information. I would LOVE to read about it myself. Thanks for the contibution!

your welcome...

its not a theory, go research the Piri Reise maps, my sources are to many to list but the Piri Reise maps are a good place to start.
