Nah... the Great Flood occured when the poles changed, approximately 11,000 years ago.
Atlantis is under the ice-cap in Antarctica... it was habitable before the pole change. That's why it has never been found.
The flood parable is consistent in all ancient cultures... it was no local thing.

"The flood parable is consistent in all ancient cultures... it was no local thing. I agree. The flood stories all date (IMO) from the melting of the last Ice Age. I had a map (can't find it now) that reduced the world's oceans by 300ft. Very interesting, the Red (Reed Sea) Sea is landlocked(maybe reflooded at the Exodus), the Persian Gulf is completely dry and very interesting things begin to happen in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. In fact, I have proposed a theory that allows for the Gulf Of Mexico to become blocked from the world's oceans and partically dry out. This allows for the underwater city off Cuba to have been built on dry land on a reduced water level Gulf Of Mexico (1/2 mile is a lot of subsidence), and then being flooded (like the Black Sea) when the barrier is broken.

Atlantis is not on Antarctica dude. That was just some stupid nazi myth. They needed to think of an excuse how a magic realm of white people close to actual white people could possibly exist anywhere on the planet, so they pointed to the one spot where nobody could check their retard theory anyway. The also claimed that there was a gateway to the inner earth where the inner earth white people lived was located on Antarctica.
The presence of Inuit was simply dismissed as being newcomers and parasites (living freely of the ice the atlanteans worked for so hard! the bastards!)
I know simple associations (A-tlantis, A-ntarctica, both starting with an A!) must sound really convincing at first sight, but plz. Even Plato didn't locate it there.
