Whilst everyone is quick to pass the almighty judgement. How about reading the book and make a good judgement.

Lets face it no one has got hard evidence on Atlantis. All theories are just theories and thats all. That why I reckon the so called experts are worried and quick to judge and refute this guy without reading the book becuase he might be just right.

The so called experts have no solid evidence, not even a credible location. that you could determine with other independent sources.

Ive seen what the ruckus is all about. I can honestly say that the author has done something that nobody else has achieved. Maybe becuase he thinks lateraly and is open minded to many sources. Who knows.

I say go for Cyprus and uncover what is there. Well at least check out the idea.

Hey, maybe the author is being guided by The Gods of Atlantis to bring about a whole new ball game on this ridiculous planet through knowledge and discovery. Maybe there is something more underlying than just Plato?? About time to bring conclusion to this mystery. I say the planet sure needs something uplifting rather than all this contrived negativity, skeptism and opinions which are flimsy at best particulary when they have even read the book.

I think there is alot, alot more to this that meets the eye.

The Gods I reckon left a sign , a very large sign post that will be hard to refute with counter evidence, even though they will try to save themselves. I have to laugh.

The Mediterranean completely dried out 4-5 million years ago which would necessitate that the passage at Gilbralter was blocked at that time.

correct, but that was a matter of lowered and then raised sea level, not a "breach" of the "dam" between Gibralter and north Africa as occured 65 million years ago. The postulated civilization destroyed by rising sea water may have occured as this author states, but it would be the result of the gradual rising of sea level brought about by the gradual melting of ice age glaciers, not the sudden event of the breach of the dam between the Med and Atlantic. That messes up this scenario as representing the "facts" in the Atlantis legend.

The breach event is apparently well established, geologically, with increcdible force being exerted to scour the floor of the Med by the jet of water from the breach. Some say the noise would have carried half way around the world. 65 million years ago who would have noticed? T Rex?

I believe what he meant was the titanic went down in freezing waters. That area is mostly rough seas while the other is calm and warm topwater although down deep the water will be cold of course.

Finally I can cash in my Atlantian Dinars - when does the bank open?

To be sure I understand (as I haven't got the dates in my mind)

Charred grain under the crumpled wall of Jerico are just on top of the Santorini ash layer.

means that Thera/Santorini happened before Jericho but after/contemporary with Exodus? Your post indicates that would put Exodus at an earlier date than generally assumed (not sure what that generally assumed date is)? Is 1628 BC before the generally accepted dates for Exodus? I'm just not that conversant with the accepted dates.

"Is 1628 BC before the generally accepted dates for Exodus? "

Yes, see below

"The early date is usually placed in the middle 15th century around 1440 BC, while the late date is usually assigned to the close of the 13th century around 1290 BC. The early date relies most heavily on two specific biblical passages understood literally, while the late date relies on a more general view of the nature of Scripture combined with archaeological evidence. "

The below linked article will give you a sense of what I'm talking about regarding the Mediterranean. Although my qouted source is much newer, I cannot find it on the internet. Some say that during the Ice Age when the Mediterranean was much, much lower that the Nile Valley would have looked like the Grand Canyon of today.

Care to add your two cents?

Atlantis was not just an island, but a civilization

If you are willing to accept a pretty sloppily vague definition of Atlantis, the available evidence for this is, in fact, looking pretty good. We have the Piri Reses map of antarctica, we have the various evidences of global trade, and we have the remarkable astronomically referenced architectural congruities in our earliest uncovered cities, all around the globe.

Humans have been effectively the way they currently are for somewhere between 120,000 and 40,000 years, yet we classically think history started in 3000-6000bc. This is the standard assumption, yet it is a remarkably silly assumption.

What happened, I assert, is that any civilizations that might exist before an Ice Age recession, are pretty effectively wiped off this planet each time we have an Ice Age recession, with it's accompanying continual floods and earthquakes. The exact details of when or if atlantis sank, and for what reason, aren't centrally germaine to the loss of an entire civilization.

The most amusing branch of this argument, in my opinion, is the benign conspiracy theory, which holds that the remnants of the atlantis civilization, having survived the ice recession, were, from their point of view, dying from loss of infrastructure and population, and tried to pass on the flame of civilization through monumental stonewriting, and the fostering of secret cults carrying secret instructions to aid in the resurrection of civilization when the time became ripe. Hence, the Egyptian mystery cults passed on the treasures and knowledge to the Templers and/or the keepers of the Ark of the Covenent, when they established outposts in the Holy Land, who, in turn passed on their legacy to the Masons when their order was, in turn, threatened with extinction, and the masons, following their ancient orders of battle, were instrumental in the establishment of the US Constitution.

Any who doubt this need merely observe the tribute to the Masons, the pyramid on the dollar bill, for verification.

Any who doubt

Anybody listen to the Art Bell guest last night talking about 300 million year old human skeletons and devolution?

For the lastest on the ruins off the west coast of Cuba, see www.earthfiles.com and look up the entry dated Sept. 24th.

Thanks, I'll get someone to post it. I have problems posting with all the pictures.

Yes, there are a lot of sites like that. Below is my present favorite.

Looks like a star chart. Probably used for navigational purposes. Not that it would be possible to get lost for long on the Tigris River.

"See Babylonian tablet showing the Atlantis symbol next to cuneiform text."

LOL, Be careful, you can go nuts looking for Atlantis.

Mr Sarmast's claim about Cyprus is, however, just the latest in a long list of suggested locations for Atlantis, including the Azores, the Sahara desert, Malta, Central America and Antarctica.

Grrrr!!! It's Thera/Santorini, as anyone should know by now.
