Thanks for sharing. Just set my DVR to record the Nat. Geo. program tomorrow.
With the quakes and Tsunamis in Japan, perhaps they will find Atrantis?
Antarctica. A continent and buried under (frozen) water.
I believe it’s on tomorrow night at 9pm EST
I don’t know if they’ll “find Atlantis,” but if it’s anywhere, it’s off the southern Mediterranean coast of Spain.
One of the many peculiar things about Spain is that the origin of the “Iberos” (Iberians, meaning the tribes that populated southern Spain when the Romans arrived) is unknown. But what is even more unknown is the culture that created the Dama de Elche, a remarkable bust of a female (probably a queen or other important person) that was found in the city of Elche, not on the coast but not very far away from it. Google it.
That was one of the possibilities! Ancient maps
(16th Century) even show a different coastline for it freom what we know today. It could be under there...
Another suggestion for the location of Atlantis that always intrigued me is the system of “roads” found off Bimini and Cay Sal. They are very symmetrical lines of rocks running out into the ocean.
This is it!!!
Yes, that’s the Dama. They’ve never been able to identify her face, her dress or the style of the carving.
Actually - that old map(s?) show the ACTUAL land coastline, that has been obscured by ice since “modern” exploration. Only until ground radar and seismic surveys of more recent years could the true coastline be determined. Which fit fairly well with that old map. Cool stuff.

2004 article on this:

Satellite pics, etc.
” I am still amazed at how scholars and historians use Plato as a reference for so much yet dismiss his account of Atlantis.”
Plato got his transcripts from ancient scrolls copied from the Alexendria library. Those scrolls in Egypt were 12,000 years old.
I call BS on one of the endless number of Atlantis hoaxes.

and it was located - according to the tale told to Plato by Solon who got it from an Egyptian priest - located on an ISLAND in front of the Pillars of Heracles (possibily Gibralter) around 9600BC. Inland Spain does not qualify. Location must also have palm trees and elephants.
“Finding Atlantis” National Geographic channel, tomorrow, Sunday 3/13 at 9-10pm eastern appears to be the TV version of this press release.
The PBS show was about Thera ( Santorini) blowing up. A huge, known event that would have been recorded in written history at the time and should have had some mention of it survive even after 3000+ years. We do have some written history from that time and it was certainly the most impressive event of their time.
“With the quakes and Tsunamis in Japan, perhaps they will find Atrantis?”
ROR
Exactly! The Thera explosion caused the Plagues in Egypt (I’m pretty sure there was a PBS special on that, too.) This is probably evidence of Phoenician settlement, and Atlantis was also Phoenician.
