Where do you think Atlantis is, if it really did exist?

In the Atlantic Ocean\nOver 11,000 years ago there existed an island nation located in the middle of the Atlantic ocean populated by a noble and powerful race. The people of this land possessed great wealth thanks to the natural resources found throughout their island. The island was a center for trade and commerce. The rulers of this land held sway over the people and land of their own island and well into Europe and Africa.\n\nThis was the island of Atlantis.\n\nFrom Timaeus we know that it was based in the Atlantic Ocean - Opposite the Pillars of Heracles* (Straits of Gibraltar) and that from Atlantis you could reach other islands and then a true continent.\n\nOne of the more likely places would be around the Azores Islands. The Azores are a group of islands belonging to Portugal located about 900 miles (1500 km) west of the Portugese coast. Some people believe the islands are the mountain tops of the sunken continent of Atlantis.\n\nOn the other hand, if you feel that Atlantis was an exaggeration of the historical destruction of Thera and the Minoan empire, then it is found in the Aegean. \n\nThe island of Thera, also known as Santorini, is a volcanic island located due north of Crete in the Aegean Sea. Sometime around 1500 BC is was devasted by a volcanic explosion that may have contributed to the sudden downfall of the Minoan civilization.\n\nBut, if you believe Atlantis was simply a story then it was only located in the long decayed brain of Plato.\n\nFor more exact and expended info check this link \n\nhttp://www.activemind.com/Mysterious/Topics/Atlantis/

Since it's a theory as of now, there's no way to prove whether it exists or not.  My opinion - I think there may be things underway that are leading to it sometime in the future.  With the way things are in the world today, it will take something very extraordinary to bring it about.

Depends on who you ask.  There is no scientific/definitive facts that show his existance, crucifiction or ascention is real. But if he did exist, then the burial site would have been in the middle east.

I think that the Garden of Eden was once located where the Sahara Desert is today.  I also believe that Eden was  or was moved to a differnt dimension beyond the veil of this world.  An angel of fire guards the entrance to the Garden against any attempted "return" and that is why the area is now a desert.

Krakatoa, Mt. St. Helens, Vesuvius, and I'm lost.  It's an interesting question, though, because some of them are probably long ago enough that the destruction was of landscape but not human artifacts.  So "most destructive" gets kind of hard to define.  The earth suffered such huge volcanic eruptions in the distant past that they are only detected by satellite photos which show the remnants under more recent developments.  Or to go further, there have been huge volcanos detected on other heavenly bodies. (At least Mars, and probably Venus as well.  The moon?)\n\nAnd what of Atlantis . . .?

The Egyptians are said to have done this in cooporation with the atlantians of atlantis before it sank. Either way, the technology is atlantian. This is also found in the mayan civilization and is said to be spread to the four corners of the earth before it (atlantis) sank.

Yes. The tectonic plates that make up the earth move a few centimeters a year. No one denies that except for people who do not believe in earthquakes (or understand what they are). So over a long enough period of time the movement would move the continents. If you look at the shapes of the various continents they clearly fit together. Coincidence? Maybe. But rationally speaking it seems like the safe bet is Pangea really did exist. Not to mention the fossil records that support the theory.

Various explanations for the apparent high number of disappearances have been put forward, ranging from the mundane to the hyper-fantastic.\n\nSkeptics contend that this region has a comparable rate of maritime and aerial incidents as any other similar sized region of the ocean. They point out that Lloyd's of London, a world-renowned insurer of maritime vessels, does not charge a higher insurance premium for ships that regularly traverse the triangle.\n\nScientific considerations for an increased disappearance rate take into account that this region experiences severe tropical storms and is the source of many hurricanes. These storms create an increased danger to both ship and air traffic.\n\nRogue waves have also been put forward as a possible cause. These rare waves can reach heights of as much as 100 feet (30 meters), easily swamping most ships. Rouge waves, however, would have no effect on air travel.\n\nA third scientific explanation is methane hydrates. Methane deposits on the ocean floor may release bursts of methane gas that reduces the density of the water it permeates. Since ships rely on displacement to stay afloat, a reduction of density in the water would cause a ship to immediately sink. As the methane leaves the water and rises into the air, it would reduce the density of the air as well, thus reducing lift on aircraft, causing them to descend rapidly. In addition, the methane would change the air mixture taken into the engines of the aircraft, causing the engine to stall. While these events have not been witnessed in nature, they have been proved in lab experiments.\n\nMore exotic explanations for the Bermuda Triangle include it being an area of magnetic disturbance, temporal (or time) holes, the location of the lost city of Atlantis, or extra-terrestrial abduction.

I believe in it. It's probably in Greece.

"and this whole The Bible is a myth garbage... Did you ever know that archaeologists have found countless cities, names,etc. mentioned in the bible that they didn't think existed?"\n\nThe Da Vinci Code mentions Paris and a Louvre museum and they happen to exist. Does that mean the whole Da Vinci Code is true? According to your "logic", it seems so.\n\nTroy has been found. Does that mean the greek gods exist?\n\nChichen Itza was found too, should we offer maidens to Kukulkan? When is Kukulkan second coming? It was predicted he'd do so.\n\nYou can't prove the miracles happened.

All the dimensions given in Plato's account of Atlantis are approximately 10 times the size of Crete.  Its distance from Egypt is about 10 times the distance of Crete, too, and the date of its destruction is 10 times longer ago than the volcanic eruption and tidal wave which probably destroyed Minoan Crete in 1500 BC.\n\nIt is very plausible that when Solon got this story from an Egyptian priest, he mistranslated the numbers, and Plato just copied them, which would have put Atlantis beyond the pillars of Hercules instead of just south of Greece.

Seahorses - yes\nMermaids/mermen - i wish, but not currently\nAtlantis - i think yes, it did exist at some point,  because of the oral legends.  For years people thought Troy was only a legend, and then evidence of where it was was, was found (in the 70's or 80's i think).  So, i'm holding out hope for Atlantis....

First of all, I am not of any religious group. But I have read of two possible locations where searchers believe they have found Noah's Ark and related evidence. One area is said to be on Mt. Ararat in Turkey;the other in Iran. One internet site was National Geographic. If you use Google and type in "Noah's Ark found in Mountain" you can read about it and judge the evidence for yourself.As I read more about it, there are many conflicting opinions, but a very interesting topic to explore further.

Here, you take a look at this picture of the Bermuda Triangle and you tell me if anyone has ever made it across alive.\n\nhttp://www.bermuda-triangle.org/assets/images/autogen/a_cart_1.gif\n\nPay particular attention to its ENORMOUS SIZE, and that it would theoretically block 1/3 of the US Atlantic coastline from boats or planes attempting to travel in a straight line to the US.\n\nPay additional attention to the fact that the western point of the triangle is Miami, Florida, a large US city, and that most ships or planes leaving the city would have to enter the triangle.\n\nFinally, take note of the fact that the majority of the islands in the Bahamas -- a hugely popular vacation spot -- are actually INSIDE the Bermuda Triangle.\n\nI hope this clears it up.

All of those places are very true. We have never truly explored them, however due to satellites and othre spacefaring craft, we have managed to chart all these regions.\n\nThe only place on earth we have not truly explored and can't is the ocean floor.\n\nAnd if we could, who knows what we'd find... Ships - yes.\n\nLost continents - maybe\nAtlantis - I hope so!!

Allright I didn't want to get into it but if no one else is going to fine. First of all when people talk about Atlantis they're using the wrong term. Plato was the first person to mention the legend of Atlantis, it might have been passed on as an oral tradition prior to that, or he may have been using it as an allegory. If it was a real thing he refered to (which seems probable as he was pretty specific in detail) then some scientists believe they have found it, and the evidence is pretty good. They found a civilization, quite advanced, sacrificed bulls, on an island with red black and white stones, that was a seafaring race, and was destroyed by a tsunami. All coinciding with what Plato said.\n Now then, when most people speak of Atlantis what they refer to is the Great Civilization Myth. This is the theory that there was a great mother civilization that is the source of early technology and knowledge through the world (or at least a large portion of Europe, Africa, and South/Central America. This civilization supposedly flourished for 16000 years until it put science ahead of nature and caused such imbalance that the Earth went into turmoil and threw mankind back to a near stoneage existence with only memory of their deads. This cycle has supposedly occured several times. This seems crazy at first sight, but who knows. There is a fascinating book called Forbidden Archeology that documents some interesting anomalies (although I don't believe it goes into the Atlantis myth). It is a source of more questions than answers but if you're really interested you should at least check out the website, even if you don't by the book. www.forbiddenarcheology.com\n\nOkay above I have dealt with facts, theories, and myths (and yes I know I've left out a whole bunch of stuff but I'm dealing with The Great Civilization theory not the one that dissappeared, or where did who originate so I'm not going into the Olmecs or the Egyptians or any of thatstuff because it really doesn't apply. There are plenty of civilizations that just up and blew away but none were advanced enough or powerful enough to qualify) but a discussion of Atlantis can not be concluded without bringing Edgar Cayce into the mix. As far as psychics go I'm generally sceptical, but Cayce did come up with some interesting things that should at least be looked into. First he predicted that Atlantis would be found of the coast of Florida, and in the year he predicted what appear to be submerged docks were indeed found (although they could be natural formations). Secondly he predicted that the Atlantians left behind two great storehouses of information. One was lost in South America, the other would be found in a room under the paws of the Sphinx (by the way the Sphinx is most definately much, much older than the pyramids and in fact when it was carved the valley of the pyramids is beieved to have been a tropical jungle) well it turns out that sonar readings have discovered what to all appearances is a giant room under the Sphinx! Maybe it's natural but as soon as the information was revealed the Egyptian government shut the team down and to this day won't even let people approach the Sphinx let alone study it. Well there you go, that's a quick intro there's plenty of research you can do from here, but it might be wiser to just let it go. You may find yourself banging your head against a wall if you decide that you've got to figure out the truth:)

No, the island of Atlantis was supposedly near the Azores island and a tsunami or hurricane wiped it out. The Bermuda triangle is on the other side of the world.
