Wasn’t it a fictional morality tale?
Any clickbait article that has a title in the form of a question can automatically presumed to have a “no” as the answer.
"A U.S.-led research team may have finally located the lost city of Atlantis, the legendary metropolis believed swamped by a tsunami thousands of years ago, in mud flats in southern Spain."
DemocRATS and sheep will finish the job that aliens gave up on.
I don’t believe these structors were built by humans alone.
We’re just not that smart, then and now.
Alexander has entered the chat...
Perfect!
Except Plato says the opposite. He said it was beyond he pillars of Hercules, which would be in the Atlantic, not in the Mediterranean. Hence the name “Atlantis”.
Ask Joe Biden. I’m sure he has a long-winded story on how he delivered newspapers as a boy growing up in the rough part of Atlantis.
Might this have been another city that suffered same/similar fate as Sodom & Gomorrah?
We were that smart prior to the flood, when the environment was better for us. It’s quite possible that these stone structures are remnants of the antediluvian civilization that preceded the flood.
Except he doesn’t actually. Because the whole story is an allegory. His description of the location is no more telling people where a real place is than Lovecraft’s description of R’lyeh.
Oh geeze, I just realized in 2000 years gullible are going to be looking for R’lyeh. And Innsmouth. Etc etc. Oh boy, Lovecraft really screwed up the future.
“Except he doesn’t actually. Because the whole story is an allegory.”
Yes, the story is an allegory, but he still places the action of the story in a specific location, which is beyond the pillars of Hercules, in the Atlantic Ocean.
Yes just like Lovecraft placed his stories in specific locations... locations that NEVER existed.
I highly recommend you watch Galaxy Quest and remember Plato’s stories are NOT historical documents.
“remember Plato’s stories are NOT historical documents”
Who said they were? You’re tilting at windmills.
My antediluvian baby!
Again?
YOU ARE. By saying that he gave a description and therefore it’s real. Making a fictional place SEEM real by saying where it is located is called verisimilitude. It’s a common story telling trick.
You got one part right, I am tilting at windmills. You really just are not bright enough to understand. There was never an Atlantis it’s FICTION.
On many stone structures the marks left by rotary drills and such can be seen. And some surfaces are flat to within 2 thousands of an inch. Impossible with hand tools. These things are as flat as modern truing tables. No way could they be produced by craftsmen with chisels.
