You should post a bic file too.

looks great, but I thought Atlantis was located more to the north over the Bermida's triangle.
anyways, good job

I think it looks really cool. Nice way to spice up an earth map. I like it.

Atlantis more to north? - Who can to know? But I can...

 

[Elden]

Are you still planing a bic version, if so when can we expect it ?

 

[Geronimo]

Yes. Soon will be released *.bic version.

In the case of Atlantida, it should be an island, like Greenland

I was wondering if anyone knows what the drawings of Atlantia look like? Because to my knoledge, the continent of Atlantia according to some of the origonal drawings looked like North America, but upside-down and kind of just sitting in the ocean.

I thought it was supposed to be circular, surrounded by rings of land. I'm not sure if that was the city of Atlantis or the continent of Atlantia.

 

[computerdude113]

That's the city, most of the programs that I have seen about lost Civilizations, Atlantis, things like that that mention Atlantis always seem to center onto one of the origonal drawings of Atlantis as an upside-down North Americia in the ocean.

??? What kind of discission is this?
Atlantis is just a tale, written by Aristoteles, and as far as I can remember, he doesn´t describe the shape of the land at all. One thing he do however is describe the nature and the animals, elephants for example. One theory of where this land would be is outside Gibraltar, but he could also have meant that it was in the Black sea or in the greek archipelago. The Swedish 17th century author Olof Rudbeck actualy meant that Sweden was Atlantis. However, what I mean is that it doesnt matter where or what shape Atlantis and Lemuria has, it´s a great idea and a great map.

I have seen many-a program on Atlantis and lost civilizations and in all of them there are drawings of what the map layout looked like and a description of what the city was like and the animals there, all from a 1st source (a source from that time)
However, you are right, this discussion has nothing to do with the map, it's just something I thought about when I saw this.

 

[Scurcus]

the greek philosopher Aristoteles, or Aristotle of whatever you call him in english, was the one who wrote down the myth about Atlantis. he made quite detailed descriptions of the land, but no maps of it so all maps you may have seen are drawn a lot later and more or less based on the few descriptions he made about the shape of the land. however, no matter how lively fantasy you have this is pure fiction, read Aristoteles texts about atlantis and you will see this.

How do you take a screenshot of the entire map?

Actually, it was Plato that brought up the whole Atlantis thing, having heard it from a friend's friend's friend's friend.

But I don't know, Aristotle might have written it down.

I saw a program about Atlantis once. They said that it was antarctica but it drifted south or something. They showed some really, really old maps that had what Antarctica looks like without ice on it.

Anyway... Nice map
