They were so technologically advanced but spiritually undeveloped that they destroyed the very same civilisation they founded.

Byrd probably thinking how america is the most technologically advanced tribe in the whole of the universe but these atlantian folks had the kind of gadgets byrd never saw in his wildest dreams.

I should mention...I'm speaking of the "historical" Atlantis...just as one would separate the Troy of history with the Troy of the mythology tale... There are no references to technology unknown to man, in Plato's texts.... This is fabrication on the part of later authors, extrapolating from their description of "advanced". They were advanced, just as the Egyptians, and Greeks were, but no more, and in some ways, less. they were simply the predecessors of the Incas, Aztecs, Myans, etc.

Wrong.
The mention of advanced techology came from 4th dimension - channeled information, guides spirits etc.

Ahh...but I mentioned they weren't in Plato's account... And they aren't...

i didn't suggest they were e.t.'s. just not human. the picture are quality enough to see whether or not there are sutures. maybe nefilim?
you know, tesla claimed to have been a reicarnated version of the cheif science engineer of atlantis. he claimed he remembered. just sayin'.

Velvet,

I don't think that your idea is so crazy.

the satanists and secret society types need many sacrifices to their god and everything they do is laden with myth and symbology.

I don't see the connection yet but there may be something there.

Hmm, Atlantis, Hmm, As you can obviously see, I am a big fan of this lost city. Unfortunetely, doing my own research on the subject, the only place I can find this to be true is actually in the Mediterranian (Misspelled).

The only thing I can link is that something occured in The America's a long time ago, that with a chance raised the water levels or caused a Sunami to hit Europe, Atlantis and its state provinces were wipped out and new cities where built (in my oppinion on top), only maybe one state province survived, The city known as Atlantis.

Tell me, does this sound to crazy, becuase after examining the situation for a while (2 months), its the only answer I could come up with.

I'm of the thinking that Atlantis is possibly off the coast of Cyprus somewhere.

Anything off the coast of Cuba would be Meso-American (Aztec, Toltec, Olmec, Mayan, etc). Plato's contemporaries had no idea there was a New World, and Cuba is a little far for Greeks to sail and return with wondrous stories of a huge city.

And a lot of ancient cultures had strange skull-shaping customs. The Egyptians did it because they thought it made women look sexier (I sh*t you not).

As for reports of giants, it's kind of like a game of Broken Telephone played over centuries. Introduce an ancient Greek to Shaquille Oneal and within 2 generations in the stories he will have doubled or tripled in height.

Why wouldn't atlantis be smack in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle?

Need some evidence to back up the Bermuda Claim, but at this point, it could be possible.

Gazrok: Whats your theory on all this

I think most know where I stand...I'm firmly convinced of Atlantis being in South America... As for the Bimini Road (which I'm assuming is meant by the Bermuda references...), there seems to be little evidence this is more than a natural formation...and the artifacts found there are from shipwrecks... Plato spells out the description of Atlantis pretty plainly in my view...
