subject: Atlantis: Lost Not Found [print this page] For the lost island empire of Atlantis, countless films not to mention books have speculated about it. Speculations are associated to what it was and where it is. This is a firm statement May a person be an amateur sleuth or a professional researcher, Atlantis will never cease to bewilder people just as it did after being mentioned in Timaeus and Critias, two essays by the Greek philosopher Plato in 360 BC. There is an online bookstore that carries 438 titles on it. Releasing the full length movie Atlantis The Lost Empire was the Disney company.
It would be a wondrous feat for Plato to make something like Atlantis up, a sacred island beholding the sunlight not to mention one that brings about a fair abundance, according to the scholars who were also believers.
How can people find out if Atlantis is Plato's or someone else's? Plato died about a dozen years after writing about the Atlantis with out ever making it clear whether the story was fact or fiction.Atlantis was quoted by Plato from a historian named Solon who was real. Skeptics think it's possible Solon made the whole thing up, and Plato believed in a fable. Plato was highly intellectual but could not have been able to go into a much detailed description of Atlantis like the island having been built on a series of rings where the royal palace and cities are situated via dug out canals all around it altogether surrounded by statues and bath houses of some sort.
It is puzzling to conceptualize how long of a period of time Atlantis could have probably existed for Plato said that it was destroyed in 9000 BC but the kind of advancement it has can easily create nuclear bombs not to mention flying machines that take lifetimes to develop. The exact location of Atlantis is another mystery. A volcano destroyed its suspected location on the island of Thira in 1470 BC.
Off of the coast of Spain in the Azores in the Atlantic is one more location for Atlantis. One determining factor for Atlantis is the presence of underwater ruins. A number of European explorers relied on maps with Atlantis located in them for sailing the world.Since they had many elephants, they used the skins for the flying machines they used to travel. For the location of Atlantis, there is also the coast of modern Bimini.
Considering the devastation that occurred, some lives were spared. For these survivors, Egypt became their new home and they shared what they knew with others. Contained inside the Great Sphinx in a secret chamber are traces of Atlantis.In 4000 BC, Antarctic was covered with ice. Only am underground explosions or seismic upheaval generated some activity prior to this.
Many of them would have been cataclysmic enough to wipe out any existing civilization. There was an author who said that he did extensive research about Atlantis before he wrote about it and he discovered that it existed off of the Atlantic Ocean. Absence can be associated with a prior nuclear explosion. Similar to the modern days, they too had nuclear weaponry. To blame for the demise of Atlantis was a nuclear explosion caused by people during the civil war.
