it is very possible that it was here once. if it was on a fault then a large enough earthquake could have sunk it. or a volcano could have blown it up. i like the fualt idea. (gives me hope for california)

Your post is FANTASTIC. Your research is solid. Excellent work...

Being a science teacher I saw where you were going immediately with the tectonic plates. What a refreshing and excellent idea.

I believe that Atlantis existed. An idea to support your volcano theory...look what happened in Herculeum and Pompeii. The cities were destroyed quickly by volcano.

I do believe Atlantis was a reality. It makes sense there that it could have been done in by either a massive earthquake or volcanic activity. It seems though, that it should have been easier to unearth than it has been.

as for finding it ,, if there was such a force to destroy it couldnt it be buried reall deep? we havent explored but a fraction of the ocean.

I hitnk that it may have existed, but so far there isnt enough evidence to support it. they have found lots of ruins that could have been, but nothing definitive.. I hope they do find it, it would be awsome to know the truth

I know this is pusshing it, but when I was young(yeah I am old lol) in our physic class, our teacher say there was an hypotesus that the Atlantis poeple might have discover the nuclear reaction and destroyed themselve by their own power, and hand. Jus tan hypothesus from my science physic teacher, I think it would be possible and would explain alot.

Plato speaks of Atlantis as large Island
(assumed) to lie west of the Straight of
Gibralter and to have been destroyed
and submerged by an earhquake. Has
anyone voiced it may have been hit
by a major storm ( hurricane) . Is storms
in that matter possiable in that area?
Islands have been known to sumerge
for that reason. My self the one I belive
is earthquake, but hey ya never know.

I believe that Atlantis existed as well. I think that the theory of an earthquake is very possible. I have seen a few documentaries about a volcano eruption, on the west coast of Africa, so large that it could wipe out the eastern side of the United States. It could cause a tidal wave so large that it would devastate the east side if the USA.
So I definately believe that it is a possibility for an earthquake to open up the fault and swallow Atlantis. There are many theories out there about what happened or if it really existed. I believe if there is a story about, then it was more than likely real.

I have always been intrested in atlantis and i belive and have always belived that it did exist. I love your fault line idea, i will look more into this.

I belive it was here, and i belive it was destroyed by earthquake, volcanic activity or some other natural disaster, and one day i belive it will be discovered...

I haven't enough time left to read this whole thread but please, please, please put all that together as a members article :)

Like the others I too believe the island of Atlantis did exist, yet there is no know truth besides Platos calling of this island. much like the spear of destiny and the cup of christ these are yet to be discovered or proved. but the thread started gave good insight of this legend. very good explaination of all.

I wish I had a science teacher like yours Cryingmoon...........mine was more interested in that which could be proven scientifically lol
I think it was a nice story nothing more.

I believe that Atlantis existed, and also that it will be found.

personally i would say that anything can be real or true if you believe it is
that is the only way it works is if you believe in it
but yes i think that there used to be a time and place where there was technology and medician beyond anything we have now or will discover later on

awesome post well thought out and researched ..... I beleive it exists and one day will be discovered

based on all of the information gathered, i believe Atlantis to be Cuba. on the southern part of the island it is said to once have been land where there is now water. they are exploring the bay to find evidence of Atlantis.

based on all of the stories of Atlantis and its geography, Cuba is the most likely place.

I don't see why not. I mean, if you think about it, millions (or possibly thousands or hundreds) of years from now, Florida may become a modern day "Atlantis". Some scientists have said that it may be sinking. Could you imagine Florida becoming a "great legend" or a "tale of mystery"? lmao. Sorry. It's just funny for me to think about.

there are numerous shows about Atlantis. National Geographic, Discovery, History Channel, and Sci Fi channel. these are stations that show most of the Documentaries about Atlantis. the Cuba Theory is relatively new but makes the most sense.

unless you believe in the "mantle slip" theory and Atlantis is Anartica.

your forgetting.............the people of Atlantis were technology way ahead of the rest of the world. they left there influence on the entire world as well as colonized it.

traveling from Cuba to Greece would have been a hop skip and a jump away. i have kept up on all of the theories of Atlantis for the last 30 years. make sure that you know everything before dismissing something that you know nothing about.

I believe Antactica is Atlantis. There is much evidence to back this up.

I also feel it did exist and I agree there are alot of Theories, on this subject of Atlantis. yet I do believe that if we actually go deep enough we would find it, I think that would be the mother of all Mother loads LOL! to actually find it one day. I would love to be there.

I have always found it fasinating, and wish I had the money to sponsor the search for such a wonderful place, that has been talked about for so many years.

i'm at a loss between whether it existed or not. There are so many theories that are completly possible, but at the same time i would think that with modern technology we would have found it by now. I still like to think that it exists.

well I love this post because I do believe that Atlantis did exist and wish that we could find it, maybe we just need to go deeper on our search for it. Would love to be there when it is ever discovered.

Thanks for all the info, very interesting.

I for one DO NOT believe that Atlantis existed...not knocking the thread or anything...I think you did a great job researching your material AND you even put up some nice pix too...they're a bit archaic but hey...they serve their purpose...right?...

I think the "idea" of Atlantis was contrived by philosphers...maybe to use as a teaching tool...who really knows...I have not seen enough actual scientific material from the varying theories to make me think otherwise...I have seen numerous documentaries on findings and "new" evidence that Atlantis "may" have existed...I still think it's a pretty story though...

Good job on the thread Vain...:)

I do believe Atlantis was a reality. It makes sense there that it could have been done in by either a massive earthquake or volcanic activity. It seems though, that it should have been easier to unearth than it has been.

This is an awesome thread.

I know you have said that Plato told that Atlantis sunk and wasn't blown apart by a volcano, I am sure that an island of Krakatoa was blown away by a volcano

It's location, I don't know - there is no other land on any major fault lines (because they move I guess) and Atlantis would have taken a few years to develop, I think the fault lines would have prevented a stable island from ever forming long enough to become anyone's home.

I'm not sure about that because me and geography really really don't get on

Someone mentioned there is growing evidence that Atlantis was Antarctica but didn't say what this evidence was. I thought the Atlantis people were strong and healthy people always shown as bare chested .... they must have been freezing.

I have never heard of a vampire from Atlantis as mentioned, again the source of this information would be nice

again, an awesome thread, thank you

I would love for someone to find it in my lifetime, but I do not think that will happen. Now, if it does exist, I am sure that we will create something that will admit toxic gases into our atmosphere that will find it for us because we can't ever get enough of finding the truth.

Humans are so engrossed with finding where they came from and how they got there to not try to break every myth and legend known to man. Who knows, maybe one of them holds truths. But Plato told/wrote a story of this island that was destroyed many hundreds of years before his own birth. He was passed along this information, if I am correct. It is said he told this information to others as a warning of belief in pagan (false) gods. Although Plato was a man upon men, he was biased like all who have used religion and education together. It is possible to have an entire world believe a lie if that lie can't be proved.

I found an intresting theory on this subject thanks to Wikipedia. The theory of a continental Drift.

Based on this information. I can theorize that after the great war erupted between Atalantis and another empire. That the gods got upset for some reason.

Causing massive flooding and earthquakes. Now here comes the theory. The earthquakes caused the plates of the island to go under a bigger continent, Perhaps Spain, or even a slight possbility Africa. Or even the extreme possibility of america where some have believed it was closer too.

So to close my theory. That it sank but it isn't on the sea floor it's under another continent.

i think it may have been crete. wrong time though, i think.

Symbolism as a tool for teaching has been around for a very long time.

I wonder if Plato is laughing his socks off at us wondering about Atlantis.

my intelect tells me that it is posible that it was a island in the mettiterranian between sicily and crete. there has been several places in that area that was wiped out due to earthquakes and pompii was one of the ones most often referred to. thats where i would start my search based on fact and philosiphy. but everyone has a opinion.

atalntis-it is a great possibility that it did exist although vastly it is still greatly is a mystery and yet so much to be discovered but we can only learn from what others have written about

Great research ! I do believe Atlantis existed . when every single culture that supposely didn't interact with one another all have a very strong and valid reference to it . I start questioning things . It I believe it was both a real place and based off of Platos politcal ideas .
