Sarcastic stuff I've seen here has actually come out of Howard Dean's mouth and been reported by the leftists as "news."
see post 20.
Donovan - Atlantis Lyrics
The continent of Atlantis was an island which lay before the
great flood
in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land, that from her western shores
those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South and the North
Americas with ease,
in their ships with painted sails.
To the East Africa was a neighbour, across a short strait of sea
miles.
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian
culture.
The antediluvian kings colonised the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis.
Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the
Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
Though Gods they were -
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis!
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.
I've already seen them
a myth cited by Plato.
if it is a myth, why are there no surviving mythos about it in greek culture? we know the greek gods back and front, it isnt as if they didnt well document their beliefs...
I agree, I would love to know how these ancient structures were built. And any theory makes more sense than aliens in UFOs.

hehe, heres to Ireland! God's failed attempt at another Scotland. :)
i saw the bit on Discovery chanel. they erected obelisks using hemp rope and wooden truss's to support it as a kite pulled it into place.
they then move cut boulders the size of the ones in the Great Pyramids several yards in no time, and placed it neatly on top of and PRECISELY in place between the two. perfect stack, minmal time and man-power.
all you need is a few good engineers, sail-worth cloth, a few hundred yards of rope, some wood, and boulders. bingo, a pyramid in the time frames we see documented.
also, to back this up, they found that if you measure the winged hyroglyphics, the proportions are exactly what is needed for a level flight of a wing.....
this does come close to explaining Stonehenge... but damn.
Actually it's one more sober Irishman
Sorry. I thought "sober Irishman" was an oxymoron.
You mean, Ireland - a nation of Scots without locks on their wallets?
Those "flying cars" of Celtic legend.
"You mean, Ireland - a nation of Scots without locks on their wallets?"
my grandpa would say something more like "Irish... not two brains 'etween 'em all"
then he would cite the only time he ever went there. he plopped a British Pound down for a drink in a bar in North Irealnd. the bar maid said "sorry, we dont accept personal checks"
we're Scottish btw. :)
Ha! Ha! Great story!
BTW, I'd have never guessed you were Scottish! *LOL*
I don't have use of the national brain this weekend!
