Atlantis found???

[Xen]

There is always the chance Solon got it wrong.

that statement would only stand if the entire myth ended with the name atlantis- since thier a physical derpition of th elocation atlantis, cyprus as a whole is ruled out.

I know what Plato said about Atlantis, but what did Solon say? Doubtless Plato changed it.

Let's see what this is really down below the ocean.

I think more proof is needed, but it is interesting nevertheless!

Did anyone see Sarmast on T.V yesterday? I missed it I had a look at some of the sonar images. They aren't very convincing. Although there does seem to be a wall encircling one of the sea mounts about a third of the way up. It could be anything - the precipitation depth of a mineral might lead you to believe there is man made structure for instance. When in fact it is just minerals being forced out of solution at that particular depth (pressure) and forming what appears to be a wall.

supposedlly, solon said the same thing about atlantis that platosaud, which came striaght from the mouth of egyptian preists- obviouslly, in such a game of "telephone", detials are going to get changed, even fi the story itself remians, relitivlyl unchanged; and that is essentially what we have here- a superstructure that has full basis in fact, but with a few details changed.

Im still not convinced. I think it actualy an ofshoot story from the bibilical flood account.

 

[Xen]

that dosent add up- tartessos, and its destruction by natural disaster, is recorded by the bible, so the entire legend dosent date back enough to have any connection with the biblical flood (besides, the ancient greek religion has a different, but similer story to the biblicle account of the flood, but none of that animal crap in it, and to repopulate the world, the people threw stones over thier shoulders, who the gods then made into people)

 

[Ballazic]

Ya after hundreds of years of recount. They messed the truth up. The truth being that humanity got so bad that God flooded the earth and spared only one family.

Many theories say that atlantis was a big continent in the middle of the Atlantic, and that it had 9 mountains and that those mountains are the islnads of Azores (Portugal), but it is only a theory

Thats a really interesting theory! I shall look into that

that's weird since the azores are in the mid atlantic, since it would be very hard to travel there
