i belive that thousends of years ago, there was a great empire, in this was many teratories, including egypt, china, the americans, if u notice that all these contries have priymids in them. i belive the priymids is a symbol of their empire.

you can also guess how fast it took them to conquer and in witch direction around the world. first they went to africa and america around 3000BC, at this time in egypt people where starting to settle, and the same with the native americans. then all of a sudden they started to build pyimids, more important they all are stepped pyimdis in egypt and america what are the odds for that?

as the empire expanded they moved towards china and more advanced pyimids where erected, i belive the bent pyimid is a prototype for this. seeing as there is only stright sided pyimids in the easten empire,i belive that the westem empire was invaded by another great force.

slow but shortly the empire gre so big that unrest was masive, there might of been a huge rebellon, Atlantis destroyd itself by civil war

Any thoughts let me know, ok?

I agree it's extremely coincidental and odd to see pyramids across the world. It's highly possible that since Pyramids are pretty basic geometry, different civilizations happened to figure them out. I would suggest that Atlantis died when the continents broke apart, but I don't know. Wouldn't the pyramids have been damaged with that amount of turbulent earthquaking? It's interesting, nonetheless.

You could make a better case if the structure was something complicated.
Even something as complicated as Stonehenge appearing around the world would be a strong indication that there was some sort of moving cultural influence.

But the pyramid? There's nothing complicated about the shape. It can easily be created by a child in beach sand. Just like there's nothing particularly startling or complicated about domes (most early huts are domes simply because you can bend branches to make a dome easily), cones (like the tipi) or boxes (regular old houses.)

The other thing is that the world has basically agreed upon one set of laws of physics. If everything we do ends up coming to the same scientific conclusion, then no wonder people around the world did the same way back when.

I;m not sure but I think that the pyramids in america and the pyramids were built 1000s of years apart. Also if they were made by the same people then the 2 types of pyramid would ahve the same gods and symbols on them.

I've always had this wicked cool idea for a novel or series of novels in a sci-fi setting dealing with the theory of Atlantis.
In my vision, Atlantis had space age technology and a huge intergalctic war erupted between the different races, some controlled by God the others by Satan. Atlantis refused to take sides and so was attacked by both. They lost but were banished to a remote section of this particular quadrant fo the galaxy.
There they rebuilt and started a new Empire, one that spanned the stars. To make a long story short, its in the future, Mankind is in contact with hundreds of races, we have our own star empire and now the lost Atlanteans are looking for their homeworld.

Just my schizoid spin on the Atlantis tale. You really shouldn't take anything I just said seriously, it all came from my young mind.

To the first post!! I think you are almost correct! Just your timeline. Evidence is suggesting that this 'Empire' existed from 30,000 - 10,000 years ago! You have to remember that sufficient amount of time has to have passed for us to collectively have 'forgotten' our history. It takes time for the ocean to rise for the earth to cover up previous civilizations. If it had been 3000 years ago, then we would have concrete proof of this mighty empire! I think the best evidence is that every culture discovered by the 'west' has had a flood mythology and a mass genocide of people as a result of this flood! There is proof that the last ice age ended around 10000 years ago resulting in major earth catasrophies!!! Easy to wipe out an empire then!! do NOT believe the star wars thingie bajig!!

Is there?

True, there were regional flood events caused by ice dams bursting and releasing waters from glacial lakes - but these were spread out other thousands of years - from around 20,000 to 8,000 years ago.

Churchward was an interesting read, but like everything else is just speculation. There's no pockets of advanced technology and the Greeks and Egyptians were not that much advanced beyond the rest of the Mediterranean world.

some say god destroyed it or maybe the it was the city of enoch

I love your therory, but eoyn is right, your timeline is off, i would have it based more around Ancient Egypt, the archaeological anomolies make a record and show that Egyptian ships were found laden with Chinese goods off of the coast of China, showing previous discvovery and trading. Also the Egyptian Pharoahs Grave found in a national park in Australia could show that they were more widespread in their naval capacities.

I think that I am getting a little bit off topic, and rambling, however, i believe the Meditteranean and Middle Eastern region was more advanced in the past than we give it credit for, and that much of this technology (such as the Baghdad Battery) and information was destroyed due to regional instability.

These two statements, if only they were true, would be fascinating. Unfortunately, they are not true.

The Egyptians were, in fact, horrible seamen.

I stand corrected.

...disagree, it would then also as difficult as that same child then making each block out of beachsand to make the pyramids, the Egyptians simply didn't make a pile of sand!!

Pretty good guess actually... thats one reason they won't find Atlantis at the bottom of the ocean. It wasn't a city, it was a civilization

Wouldn't the pyramids have been damaged with that amount of turbulent earthquaking?

Not necessarily, just look at recent quakes one building demolitione and the next untouched. The shape of a pyramid is very stable. But more likely people built them as copies of what they knew from before.

{Just like the Egyptians copied the original pyramid which is 10,000 years old} {BTW ours is the 5th civilization on this planet, Atlantis was the 4th}

I will expand on this latter when I get more time
