I thought Atlantis was off the coast of Cuba.

[Paul C. Jesup]

The experts said that the city of Troy did not exist either, until after it was found and proven to exist.

[Orangedog]

Me too.

[muawiyah]

Cyprus has some of the oldest buildings in the world.

I think this calls for a Toga Party!!!! TOW-GAA TOW-GAA!!

" With no sunlight, heat, oxygen or wind to degrade its remains, Atlantis will be mummified in the cold waters of the deep sea, frozen in time."

Gee how long does he think it took to get covered with water?

[PatrickHenry]

Atlantis, the Flood, everything! PING. [This list is for the evolution side of evolution threads, and sometimes for other science topics. FReepmail me to be added or dropped.]

[Cowboy Bob]

Wow, just think...all those nights that I was partying in Ayia Napa, I didn't realize that Atlantis was so close!

[Consort]

A continent smaller than Cyprus?

[Aracelis]

"Atlantis is here!"
"No, no...it's over here!"
"Idiots...it's over here!"
"You're all wrong...it's over here!"

Ad ridiculosum...

I hardly see any reason why your name has to be appended to your posts.

Whenever I see an especially interesting post, I just automatically knoe it's a Blam special.

Keep up the good work, Blam.

"Gee how long does he think it took to get covered with water?"

Not long but, it would be determined by the size of the opening. The Black Sea was estimated (Ryan & Pittman)to have risen at the rate of one foot a day when it broke through at the Bosporus.

During the Ice Age the oceans of the world were reduced in depth by 300-500 feet, most accept 400 feet.
Go here and see a map of the world with the ocean depth reduced by about 300 feet. Notice that the Mediterranean Ocean is divided into three sections even at 300 feet. There are underwater scouring marks on the ocean floor that indicated a large intense flow of water ...just like at the Black Sea...at the Gilbraltar entrance
I do believe the Mediterranean was dessicated (lower water level) prior to the Ice Age melt.

The Mediterranean has been completely dried out at least 40 times, the last time was 4 million years ago. There are salt deposits on the bottom of the Mediterranean that are a mile thick and it is salt that forms only when exposed to direct sunlight. So... The guy has a good plan for Atlantis,at least regarding the water.

I have a theory that the same thing happened to the Gulf Of Mexico during the Ice Age. (That's how a city got 1/2 mile underwater off the coast of Cuba, another potential Atlantis site)

Yup. The oldest ever found.

"We are Atlantis, we are the oldest civilisation, we are the Garden of Eden.

All these? Besides, who is 'we'?

[David]

Problem is Plato said Atlantis was "beyond the Pillars of Hercules"--i.e. outside the straits of Gibralter. So all these theories about a Mediterranean location for Atlantis flunk that test.
