Hey! I see palm trees growing among Atlantis' submerged streets and temples!
Guy, everytime they find a submerged island, they estimate it could have been above water 10 trillion years ago and was probably Atlantis.
Atlantis is in the Pegasus galaxy...
Yeah, it was all my fault. I left the bathroom tap running... And got too drunk to turn it off.
Thank you so much for this resource. It is too long for a thorough reading right now, but I have kept it in a separate folder. It is fascinating indeed. I very much appreciate your having posted such an erudite, informative source.
Thanks!
Char :)
And isn't that a buffalo heading around the palms? ;-)
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --
Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
The GGG Digest -- Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
"researchers managed to agree on 24 criteria that a geographical area must satisfy in order to qualify as a site where Atlantis could have existed. The place must have accommodated such oddities as hot springs, northerly winds, elephants, enough people for an army of 10,000 chariots, and a ritual of bull sacrifice."
I need to get a job as a "researcher".
Islands off Cadiz---and Cadiz itself, for that matter---have gotten soaked in historical times, by subsidence or sea level rise.
sounds like a Prince concert.
What is it about the legend of Atlantis that motivates scholars and treasure-hunters?
Considering the land masses that have come submerged since the last glacial maximum, there are probably sunken cities and sunken civilizations all over the world.
They can't all be Atlantis, but they're still worth finding.
By the way, I lost the link to that map again. When I upgraded Firefox a couple of months ago, I lost all my bookmarks. Can you please link it again? Thanks.

Spedicato puts Atlantis on Hispaniola. I don't necessarily agree with that, but at least it conforms to Plato's text. :')Catastrophical Scenario for Discontinuities in Human History"that Atlantis was Minoan Crete, destroyed by the tsunami which followed the collapse of the volcanic chamber in Santorini... requires so many substantial changes to the Platonic text, that it is equivalent in our opinion to rejecting the text"

Oh yeah, you already posted the link. [blush]
What map?
This one?
First mistake the Egyptians told Solon, Plato's ancestor.
