 Introduction
What

is Atlantis ? Where was Atlantis ? Spartel Island Thera Atlantis reality or myth ?

 The

legend of the lost city of Atlantis has been popular for centuries - it appears to have originated with Plato in his tale Critias.

 Even

today Atlantis still holds a significant place in the popular imagination and continues to inspire books, movies and even TV series.

 Atlantis

is a legendary lost city, possibly an entire continent. It is said to have been submerged beneath the sea, possibly as a result of volcanic activity or a huge earthquake. According to Plato this happened around 9,000 BCE.

 What

makes the idea of Atlantis so appealing is that it wasn't just any city - it was, so the story goes, the rich heart of a great civilization.

 Over

the centuries this Atlantean civilization has been credited with everything from cultural superiority through to secret, ancient wisdom, unusual psi powers and connections with aliens and UFOs.

 Some

people have even suggested that Atlantis was in reality an alien colony.

 The

search for Atlantis has occupied many people and no definitive trace has ever been found .

 Edgar

Cayce predicted that Atlantean remains would be discovered near Bimini Island and this prediction has been connected with the unusual rock formation known as the Bimini Road.

 Throughout

history various theories have been proposed that locate Atlantis all over the globe.

 Plato

himself said it was located around the Straits of Gibraltar whilst others have suggested Spartel Island. One of the most popular possible locations is the island of Thera, known today as Santorini.

 Spartel

Island is today 60m below the water, it could have been above the sea until hit by a tsunami around 12,000 years ago. However Spartel Island appears to have been much smaller than would be expected of Atlantis and no trace of man-made structures has been found.

 The

Minoans were based in Crete and some 75km to the north of Crete was the island group called Thera (or Santorini ). The islands that make up Santorini are volcanic.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK REALLY HAPPENED TO THE CITY OF ATLANTIS ? DO YOU THINK ATLANTIS WAS REAL ? ITS UPTO YOU BUT WERE GOING TO TELL YOU OUR VIEWS !!!

 Thousand

of years ago Plato wrote about a city that seemed almost magical. In one day and one night it vanished forever under the Atlantic Ocean. Was Atlantis just a myth or a real place?

 Plato

went into enough detail to convince a lot of people to look for the lost city. Other people think the story is fiction. It's hard to imagine the technology described during the Early Stone Ages.

a good chance that when the time period was translated it was misinterpreted by several years. If this is true, then Atlantis would have been in the Middle Bronze Age which is quite possible.

There's

 We

think Atlantis is a myth . Atlantis is said to have existed WAY before Egypt, and if there were records, where are they now?

 Atlantis

was probably confused with Tantalus, one of the cities in Greek mythology. The same thing happened to Tantalus that's said to have happened to Atlantis in Plato's story.
