Its funny. People will look in the ocean here and there for Atlantis but in reality we are living on it now (north america)

We like to think that there was nothing here before columbus except for some savage indians but one only has to travel up and down the spine of north america and see the hundreds of Pyramids and ancient sites.

THe Hopi Indians say the we are in our 4th world. The last three destroyed. THe most recent world was destroyed by floods and then thousands of years of ice, so around 20-30,000 b.c.

The ancients spoke of Atlantis sinking under the ocean, it would appear that way if you were on a boat.

Spme stories that mentioned sailing to the end of the world or fear of never coming back originated from older stories of how sailors could not sail to far west in the Atlantic due to a endless wall of mud and debris.

A great flood would of been more of a gret mega-tsuanmi, wiping out everything will a 2 mile high 400mph wall of muck, trees, cities, people,hills and then having the tide role back into the Atlantic.

So I believe the ancient continent of Atlantis is North America.


Here is a map call THE ATLANTIS PENINSULA


And here is an old pre-Columbian, chinese map.


Be silly to assume the east never knew the western continet exsited.

The big question is how and why did the east forget about the west?

Something really nasty must of happened to us.

There are no pyramids in North America. None, that is, that weren't built by contractors in the USA and/or Canada in recent times.

There are mounds of earth. Dirt, specifically.

There is not a trace of any mega tsunami occurring within the last 20,000 years in North America that would be large enough to completely destroy a civilization. In fact, no Tsunami could possibly destroy evidence of an ancient civilization in the interior of North America.

I suppose I can concede that. But the scientists studying these vanished cultures usually refer to them as Mesoamerican.

Besides, didn't you say

...one only has to travel up and down the spine of north america and see the hundreds of Pyramids and ancient sites.

(My emphasis.)

Did you mean "up and down the spine of" Mexico?

IvanZana,

Not sure of the point you are trying to make with the two maps. The first one, Atlantis Insula, "not PENinsula", dates to 1690 and the pre-columbian chinese map cannot be reliably dated before c. 1763. Both fall into the time frame since Columbus.

Also, whereas the Mayans and many others certainly created amazing structures, they are all rather recent. Definitely within the last 2000 years. Certainly not on the same level, timewise, with Egypt or even the legendary Atlantis.

This video is interesting, but its to long, it doesn't get to the point quick enough, and Im not going to watch the entire thing. it's talking about basically the New World Order. About America's plan.

I recently came across this thread, and must say that America and Atlantis are indeed probably the same thing. There was a book (I will look up the title) that purported to show, using the Zodiac, that America was mapped long ago.

Holy thread necromancy, Batman!

America doesnt fit unless Plato is completely wrong about everything he said, no. So America being Atlantis would mean Plato is a liar and a writer of fantasy.

And damn is it funny to read your own comments from so many years ago. I dont even recognize myself.

I always like the idea "earth growing" theory and imo could explain how entire continents sunk below the sea. I do wonder about what ancient sites are in the USA often. We know the mid-west was an ocean. Why is it hard to believe all of the fertile soil was washed in, over a civilization? How can the US/Canada be one of the very few places w/o major structures (outside of mounds)?

. I had seen a doc that mentioned an ancient smelting factory buried in Oklahoma, but havent been able to find anything else about it. The story was the gov covered it up in the 40's. I saw a doc on PBS about Camp David and one the images looked exactly like a pyramid coved in vegetation like you find in S & Central America but not as thick of vegetation.

I wish science would just accept the flood was real, and religion would accept people have been on earth for 10's of thousand of years. Zeal isnt always a good thing.

And I wish Evangelists would just accept that they are spreading something other than gospel.

What are the odds we'll both get our wish?
