if you wanna get technical.... America was known long before most people think as well. the Asian's certainly had the ability to travel there. the Vikings later as well... the Egyptians traded with both the Northmen and the Asians.... who's to say Egypt didnt get the info from them and landed Atlantis 500 miles south of Hawaii? or off the coast of Maine?

Of course, to quote the Silmarillion:
"But these things come not into the tale of the Drowning of Númenor, of which now all is told. And even the name of that land perished, and Men spoke thereafter not of Elenna, nor of Andor the Gift that was taken away, nor of Númenórë on the confines of the world; but the exiles on the shores of the sea, if they turned towards the West in the desire of their hearts, spoke of Mar-nu-Falmar that was whelmed in the waves, Akallabêth the Downfallen, Atalantë in the Eldarin tongue"

Atlantis... well, well, what next? On a technical point: 'we were the the only entire country to stay strong (the Golden Age)' We were not a unified country at that time. There were about 150 tuaithe (independent kingdoms) on the island. Really, the notion of one Ireland only became a reality during the early seventeenth century, when the loss of the nine years war paved the way for a total English takeover. Ah, the lessons of history! How much of an 'entire country' is Ireland now, I wonder? I was aware of those points; what I meant was that, there was an advanced civilization here (remember the ancient Greeks were never united under one government either), while on the Continent, there was period where even the most basic institutions (barring, of course, the Church), did not exist- the Dark Age was basically a period of total anarchy.

Well Patrick Duffy WAS the 'Man from Atlantis'. With a name like that, sur' he had to be Oirish! ;-) Patrick Duffy is God- remember when Bobby Ewing died and then came back to life- the 'Dream' series of Dallas is just a smokescreen, a cover up by the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy (VRWC).

after all, we were the the only entire country to stay strong (the Golden Age), when Rome fell, and Europe fell into a dark age
A Correction -- Ireland was the only country in WESTERN Europe to stay strong -- Constantinople and the Eastern Empire hung on for another 1000 years

So then, both Aqua Man and the Sub-Mariner were Irish?

"Atlantis, the Greek philosopher Plato wrote in 360 BC, was an island in the Atlantic Ocean where an advanced civilization developed some 11,500 years ago until it was hit by a cataclysmic natural disaster...." The discovery of whiskey?
