"The city was destroyed in 373 B.C. by an earthquake followed by a towering tidal wave. Its disappearance beneath the sea is said to have inspired Plato's story of the legendary Atlantis." Nah, Plato was inspired by the tales that Solon brought back from the Egyptian priests.

In 2000, after 12 years of searching, Dr. Katsonopoulou announced the discovery of buried ruins of Helike (pronounced huh-LEE-kee) known to Homer, Plato and other writers in antiquity. The city was destroyed in 373 B.C. by an earthquake followed by a towering tidal wave. Its disappearance beneath the sea is said to have inspired Plato's story of the legendary Atlantis. Gee, another Atlantis? How many does that make now? Seems every ancient urban area unearthed lately is a candidate. I suppose it adds to the mystique???

Thanks sarcasm.

Blast from the Past.
Not sure this was pinged the old-fashioned way, but it definitely didn't get it the new way. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. |

Very cool. We continue to underestimate the technological prowess of our ancestors, I think.
Like with the pyramids... They used cranes. I’m sure of it.

4,500 years from now they’ll be digging out your city, Bubba! Your BluRay DVDs and iPads3 will be unreadable, worse fate than Egyptian hieroglyphics.

They used cranes. I’m sure of it. Sandhill or whooping?
