It could be that all the deeply submerged ruins are satellites of the main, perhaps near Cyprus ... the story goes that the civ of Atlantis carried on world-wide trade and made maps (some of which have been revealed) of the entire globe.

3 to 1 that it's really Kerry's Campaign Plan down there...

Atlantian hover craft stolen in Mexico by muslim terrorists!

[eccentric]

We all know it is in the Pegasus galaxy

[Cobra64]

Well, it's sort of a submerged island. It keeps floating around from continent to continenet - sea to shining sea.

"Mr Sarmast, 38, from Los Angeles, admits he has no formal academic qualifications to substantiate his claims, which he acknowledges to be controversial. But having spent 10 years studying accounts of the lost city he is in no doubt about the importance of his find."


I'm not a physicist and I have no training in science, but I just spent all weekend working on a perpetual motion machine that will allow humanity to have all the free energy it needs forever. Can I have my patent now? When will all the royalty checks start arriving?

Atlantis, it seems, has became a title given to any submerged evidence of civilization that may have existed in the window of 5-10 thousand years ago. I think what will be confirmed is that mankind worldwide had fairly robust civilizations in many parts of the world at the end of the last ice age. I think that there is a high likelyhood that Atlantis in some form or another did exist but as of yet it has not been found in any definitive sense and it will probably be some time before it is.

Yep,.....I'm sure Adam and Eve, et al., understood the planet quite well.

Noah even traveled it in the world-wide flood!

Hmmmmmmmm....

[rwfromkansas]

Why would he do that?

[MHGinTN]

Do you think Adam and Eve were contemporary with the last Ice Age, or a few tens-of-thousands of years prior? Ever wonder about the existence of Neandertals and the possibility that one of those was whom Cane went off into the land of Nod to mate with? Have you no imagination????

You'll excuse me, I'm a writer of fictional things loosely based in facts.

And I had a rather spirited discussion of politics with the Tooth Fairy last night. By the way, TF wants everyone to know that she is not a gay man. Former NJ Governor McGreevey however is.

[razorback-bert]

I knew, I left it somewhere around there.

[onedoug]

Let's see your machine.

"...no formal academic qualifications" is the best thing this guy had said yet.

[Doctor Stochastic]

If we were able to combine all the claimants to Atlantis, we could re-create Pangaea.

[Ptarmigan]

I hear about Atlantis everywhere. I heard of it even in Antartica of all places.

[Prost1]

Nonsense. Plato said it was a considerable continent broken by 3 major rivers. The Atlantic is named after Atlantis. The Atla in Meso-America is named after Atlantis.

The searches haven't found Atlantis because it is too far south now for them to look for it, and its name has been changed.

It is called Antartica!

We have to wait for the ice to melt or the earth's surface to shift or the angle to change to discover the truth.

There are at least two proofs Darwin was wrong.
1. Antarica is the home of mankind and civilization.
2. Darwin never met my cousins.

[Alex Murphy]

I think it was a chain, like Pizza Hut.

That's the most plausible explanation I've ever heard! Atlantis was a stinkin' franchise! No longer did men need to travel to the far corners of the earth to turn their slaves into animals, or to take that crystal-powered Zaren^(R) brand death ray in for some factory scheduled maintenance! Yessir, there's an Atlantis^(tm) coming to an antediluvian city near you!
