Hi AmmonSeth,

Pleased to meet you and a little surprised that no-one else has posted yet.

I myself haven't posted on the Ancient Civilization Forum for a while ... it all got a bit 'shouty' ... but ironically it is the original reason I joined ATS.

Hopefully, the manners on the forum have improved now.

When I read your OP, my interest was grabbed by the mention of ice (water). I'd be really interested to hear about some of your theories ... I have a few of my own that are a tad different to the 'norm' or at least an extention of it.

I'm a bit of a 'hybrid' in the sense that I gain my ideas from a seperate-source (past-life memories / an abduction experience) ... but I check their validity against historial/scientific/religious/astronomical/ and archaeological records and data. So I hope you can see that I am not simply some sort of esoteric nutcase.

One of my theories is that Alantis per se, was not one specific location. I believe Atlantis was the title given to the original bases/settlements of (as the Egyptians called them), The Gods That Walked The Earth As Men' ... the bringers of civilization if you will.

And I believe these locations will be discovered (in the not too distant future), in Egypt; Gizeh Plateau - subterraneous complex (earth) ... Yucatan Peninsula; Chichan Itza - reached via the Cenotes (fire - KT boundary meterorite) ... and Antarctica; Queen Maudes Land (water).

It seems reasonable to assume that there is at least one more location that would represent 'air' ... a mountain (as you suggested), would certainly fit the requirements.

I'm currently writing a book about this at the moment (The Atlantean Analysis), in an effort to find the nucleus of reality that's been embedded within ancient myth and legend, by way of finding answers.

Rome was an Atlantean settlement? Somebody need to tell them quick, cause they dont know!

To recap my opinion on Atlantis for the fivehundredumptieleventh time:

Atlantis can be distilled down to two main theories, or "opinions" if you wish. Since we have little infomation on it, we dont know what is true or not.

The mythological Atlantis is the Atlantis most people talk about. Oooh its a continent the size of half Africa in the middle of the Atlantic (OMG SIMILARITY!!! PROOF!!!), with Atlanteans populating the world and flying around in their magical aircraft and nuking other nations into submission. They angered the Gods (who doesnt) and of course where wiped out... Probably by aliens. Nay, most likely by aliens since they ARE the Gods that populated Atlantis! Etc and so on. Flimsy excuses that "Atlantis" look like words from other languages (all in translated Roman latin of course) are common.
Sources: Myth made up on the spot due to everyone giving thier "opinion", conspiracy/alien webpages with alternate history, the fantastical portions of Platos Atlantis, channeled information and 20th century fiction.

The historical Atlantis may have been a real city or civilization in ancient times that inspired Plato in his description. Sizes, dates and such are in Platos imagination, made up to make it look impressive. "Beyond the Pillars of Hercules" means what it meant in ancient time: along the coasts, not out into the open sea. Further he described contemporary technology, nothing fantastic at all. Explanations can be sought in something as simple as Plato got it from the Egyptians, the Egyptians got it from Phoenicians who made it up as a story to scare Greeks into going beyond Gibraltar. Or that it was inspired by the Minoans, which fit Platos description of Atlantis people and destruction. A key element in this is that Atlantis was supposedly the HUB of all trade in the known world. Yet very little is known about it: not a single other city on continent of Atlantis is known. In comparison, the Phoenicians where generally "mysterious" traders, yet we know their three major cities, colonies across the med and parts of their history.
Sources: Known history, Platos Atlantis.
