"I learn a lot on the periphery of your Atlantis posts."

I don't recall that Oppenheimer mentions Atlantis at all in his books. It was Dr Robert Schoch, citing Oppenheimer's work, who does in his book, Voyages Of The Pyramid Builders.

I can't tell from your posts whether you believe that the Atlantis mentioned by Plato existed or not, and it doesn't matter, because they are very interesting and educational posts. But I don't believe that Atlantis ever existed. I place Atlantis in the same category as 'The Da Vinci Code' (or baseless creationist ideas) of the present day. It's very entertaining, and it's intellectually stimulating, but that's John on Christ's right hand in 'The Last Supper,' not Mary Magdalene (the scholars tell me so). They never had a daughter Sarah who came ashore at Ste. Maries de le Mer in southern France. Even the locals will tell you it was somebody else who came ashore there. Hence, Christ's blood doesn't survive today (not that it would matter with respect to his message). Same with Atlantis, the Fountain of Youth, Aryans in the Himalayas, canals on Mars, 911 terrorists coming from Canada, etc. None of it is true, but those ideas inspire a broad range of people to do their thing. I even knew a creationist geology professor. There's no going back once you research and understand the origins of the Atlantis myth (as I've done).
