Looking for atlantis...

I believe that Atlantis exists under the Caribbean Sea and possibly under a few feet of dirt or sand.

But I do not believe that Atlantis will ever be found. It would take a major shift of water on this planet. In other words where the water is now, like the Atlantic ocean and the Caribbean Sea, would have to shift to another place here on Earth. And then archeologists would need to go in and dig to find it.

And then by the time all of the shifting of waters took place the story of Atlantis could be lost to everyone who survived the shifts.

But ZyPHer didn't say we should wait until we find a relic that says "made in Atlantis," did he?

No, and we had thousands of relics and literary works that mentioned Troy long before Schliemann ever found those ruins. I believe ZyPHer's point here is that there ought to be some mention of Atlantis in some ancient literature or at least some Atlantean-themed artwork or pottery discovered before we "go on believing it any longer."

I agree wholeheartedly.

You're basically talking about the Phonecians, who later became the Hebrews. Curiously, the Egyptians called Hebrews the "'Ipiru,'" which could easily be a variation on "Peru," or "from Peru."

So the Atlanteans were first Peruvians (who built the huge stone foundations of Machu Pichu, among other places), and were later Phonecians, who became Hebrews.

Yes, it all makes sense now! I think we're on to something!

I think the idea of atlantis being in the bermuda triangle is probable.
all the ships and planes that go missing and can't be accounted for have to be somewhere. like how many times have they scanned the surface under the triangle and never come up with anything despite the thousands of vessels that have vanished.

could their still be life in atlantis? people or extra terrestrials living their stealing the souls of the people that pass over the ancient site?

then their is always the theory that atlantis is under antarctica. this one i like because its just so feesable. as the earth rotated and tipped on its axis the land of atlantis slipped into the polar region and iced over. that would mean that all the evidence and artifacts found their would be almost perfectly preserved.
that would be sweet.

so feasable? im not sure what you mean by the earth tipping on its axis...but it is widely accepted that the earth's orbit has been very predictable, with a miniscule amount of wobble. The planet orbits the sun while it spins on an axis itself. The only thing I could imagine you're thinking about is a theory that due to extreme weight shifts on the earth due to continental glaciers, it has SUGGESTED that maybe the entire crust of the earth moved as a whole (imagine a loose skin on an orange) but even that theory doesn't suggest radical shifts like that. Still...plate movement is a pretty agreed upon fact, I don't think atlantis suddely decided to slip under the polar ice cap and freeze into modern day antarctica...

i know where Shangri La/Shambula is but atlantis is a mystery as for the "Bermuda Triangle" it has already been debunked by several adventurous researchers.

Atllantis was metioned all over the place Greece,Rome,Egypt etc. which begs the question did they lie or did it exist up until a few millennia ago until it met it's dimise?

Atlantis may be in the bermuda triangle

i would have to completely agree with the second suggestion
the first one though..is a little harder to believe.
some people don't believe in the triangle
and some do not believe in aliens..
though i do, many don't.
the second suggestion though makes perfect sense.
it is possible and that is an area that no scientists or anyone
knows much about.

There is absolutely no Roman or Egyptian "mention" of Atlantis - not a single solitary one! Where do you people come up with this crap?

There are exactly two Greek "mentionings" of Atlantis, the Critias and the Timaeus, both are parts of what we today call Plato's "Dialogues." Yes, both dialogues are by the same author, Plato, and both are comprised of conversations (dialogues) between the same three people that are standing on the ancient Greek equivalent of a sidewalk, swapping stories. No other "mention" of Atlantis exists anywhere in the world.

Read a book, for God's sake.
