Archaeologists have countered that the remains of civilization in the region only go back 7,000 years—or perhaps even less. They have asserted that if a major civilization existed in the area, some of its remains would be found on current land. That assertion has a fundamental flaw. Ancient maritime civilizations typically built their cities and ports on the ocean shores.
The pyramids and super ancient structures found in Peru, and the Middle Americas continue to baffle experts on the orgin, reason and methods of construction.
I know for a fact the ancients had way larger ocean going ships. The odds of accidently floating across the atlantic in 10,000 years is good.
Do you think the flat earth disinfo, stories of sea creatures and the reality pirates were all created to ensure no one will travel to and from the Americas? if so, by whom, tha Vatican?

PROLOGUE
In 1979, Gerry Spiess sailed Yankee Girl solo across the North Atlantic Ocean to set a world's record for the smallest boat crossing, west to east. It took him 54 days to sail 3,800 miles from Virginia Beach, Virginia to Falmouth, England. It was a remarkable voyage, by any standards, for a plywood boat he had built in his garage in White Bear Lake, MN.

UHHHHH What?
Antartica has been covered in ice since before man walked the earth, 15 million years it has been under ice, with the present ice cap configuration having been in place for 6 million years.
And it not split in two, it is the largest and driest and windiest and coldest and highest continent.
Crustal slip?????
Thats some of the funniest s there is.
And just how does this "crustal slip" occur and if its so well know how come there is no evidence of it.
If such a thing did happen the seismic energies generated would have knocked down any thing standing, including some very old and delicate structures in many deserts around the world.
And Plato retold an egyptian story, there were no maps, just the description of the island. And it was clearly described as an island and not an overly large one either.
What Plato describes is infact the distant memory of the Minoan Empire.

Survivors of Atlantis part 2
from the book (true-story, non-fiction),
"the Children of the Law of One & the Lost Teachings of Atlantis"
...Cultures the world over, who don’t have a specific legend of Atlantis, still have stories of a great flood that destroyed most life, (which happen to be very similar to the story of the sinking, and flooding of Atlantis). Descriptions of the destruction of Atlantis, say it involved great earthquakes and volcanic upheavals, and the actual sinking of the entire land mass. So perhaps some legends of a great flood could have come from secondary flooding, that resulted from unimaginably gigantic tsunami waves generated by an event that was the greatest geological disaster in history (like the one most scientists say caused the extinction of the dinosaurs). Such waves could have swept the globe, flooding many, if not most, parts of the world, and eruptions could have darkened the sky, and created other disastrous ecological consequences.
The various cultural stories of the “great flood” often tell a tale of refugees who managed to escape the great disaster. Some legends, like those of the Hopi tribe, describe the Hopi as such refugees. They depict the Hopi escaping the calamity, and coming to their new land on “Giant flying tortoise shells”. It is said that once they arrived, they were led to safety from an environment gone mad, by a bird headed “Kachina” who guided them to underground passages.
To the open mind who researches this subject, the evidence that Atlantis did indeed exist, is overwhelming. But if Atlantis, as Plato described it, was a highly advanced, sophisticated civilization, with technology that even surpasses that which we have now, shouldn’t there be some other remnant of their society? Not necessarily. But just perhaps...
According to the legends, Atlantis was so thoroughly destroyed by natural catastrophe, that there was nothing left. Yet, couldn’t there have been some Atlanteans with enough foresight to leave beforehand, and escape the disaster? Or some that were traveling in other parts of the world at the time? It seems quite possible that, given the stories of how advanced and sophisticated a civilization it was, that at least some traders or travelers were elsewhere in the world at the time. Some theories say the mythological inhabitants of Mt. Olympus, the gods of Greek and Roman mythology, were actually survivors of Atlantis.

Thousands upon thousands of ice cores taken fron antartica PROVE that it has been covered in ice for millions of years.
And how exactly does the Piri Reis map provide any proof that atlantis is under the antartic, all it really proves it that at some point between 1530ad and some uspecified earlier time that someone may have sailed around the great southern continent. Which I am sure that someone at some point sailed around a portion of it.
And the Piri Reis map's supposed representation of Antartica is highly debatable. It was common practice in the period to "insert"
a southern land mass into a map to "balance" the known land masses.
Now as far as crustal slip, its POPPYCOCK.
First, if the earth wore its crust like a loose skin, as was described by the crustal slip web site, that allowed the crust to move around. Then all the land masses would remain in the same place relative to each other.
If they were able to move around independant of each other then there would have to be giant rifts and mountains that just sprung into existance over night.
The structures I am talking about are the fantastic naturally created structures that can be found all over the planet. Structures that have taken millions of years to form.
Like the sandstone spires of the american south west, or the stalactites and stalagmites in the caves of the world.
monument valley
These sandstone spires have been standing for millions of years.
They will fall down with a moderate earthquake
If am entire continent was to suddenly move many thousands of miles as is maintained by crstal slip proponents, the accelerations would flatten those things in an instant.
Some people seem to continue to confuse a flip of the earths magnetic field polarity, with an actual movement of the earths crust or change in its rotational axis.
The earths magnetic field changes polarity on a fairly regular basis, regular on a geologic time frame (20 million years), and is currently in the process of flipping, there are places in the south atlantic and indian ocean where the local polarity has already flipped.
The mechanism for the flip has a mechanical cause but the actual flip is purely electromagnetic in nature.
Plato related an egyptian story that is based in fact and has a historical context.
In fact Piri Reis himself admitted he based his map on way older charts; and those older charts had been used as sources by others who have drawn different maps still of great precision.
Charles Hapggod, in 1953, wrote a book called "Earth's shifting crust: a key to some basic problems of earth science", where he made up a theory to explain how Antarctic had been ice-free until year 4000 BC. (visit the Bibliography ) The theory summing up is as follows: The reason Antarctic was ice-free, and therefor much warmer, it is to be found in the fact that, at one time, its location wasn't the south pole. It was located approximately 2000 miles further north. Hapgood says this "would have put it outside the Antarctic Circle in a temperate or cold temperate climate".
Piri Reis had access to the Great Alexandrian library before it burned down. That place had thousands of historical maps, scrolls, books, that were burned down.

This shows the Piri Reis map applied over a globe. Note the red lines and note where the Antarctic is.
Piri Reis had access to the Great Alexandrian library before it burned down. That place had thousands of historical maps, scrolls, books, that were burned down.
Hans: Piri Reis lived the fifteen century, he had no access to the Alexandrian Library. Crustal slippage is a theory with no factual basis, tectonic plate movement and pole shifts ARE possible and do occur(ing).
The map itself lists it sources on the margin. The misrepresented (misoriented) piece of South America that Hapgood wildly thought was the Antarctic doesn’t exist – you can compare the map which is fairly accurate for Europe and you’ll find that the line representing the Antie is off by quite abit.
I never heard that Atlantis is on another planet. This shows your age and love for childrens movies. Just a stupid idea.

Question
Why have so many Atlantis theories taken up the idea that Atlantis is either in a different dimenion or on another planet?
Paleotology shows a full range of animal there until around 8,000 BP, then human show up and species start to disappear, this greatly speeded up once the Spainards arrived. No sign of the Atlanteans.
Pollen cores - show adaptation to the weather and ice ages for tens of thousand of year then, yes, a spike and change, what caused the change- the Spaniards showing up - no sign of Atlantis.
Yep the great disaster JUST killed the cities and technology, down to the pottery shards but left all the animals and didn't disturb the pollen going into a pond............ tell us more, LOL
I never heard that Atlantis is on another planet. This shows your age and love for childrens movies. Just a stupid idea.
Your version of what you think Atlanteans are as a super race with flying saucers and glass domes is the same thought a child would have.
Where do you get these stupid ideas from han? This isnt a saturday morning cartoon thread.
Not once has anyone in this thread posed any information as 100 percent fact.
This thread is to entertain the ideas and theories of Atlantis being in Cuba and not a thread to fill yourego with poorly sourced opinions from the University of Google.
Once again you are sharing your belief of Atlantis as a child remembers it. With a glass dome and jetson type setting. lol
Atlantis is most likely a over sensationalized story of the pre-columbus world. The name given to a lost continent is more thatn likely NOT shared with the residents of that land. So yes there were people where atlantis once stood if atlantis is Cuba. Regardless of your lack of understanding, the Americas were there before columbus.
You seem to want Share your beliefs that the americas were full of savages before columbus showed up which is not true. There are more pyramids in mexico than egypt.
You should really read the thread and all the information sourced here. It is obvious you know very little of real native american history. I dont blame your ignorance. Its a popular fad these days.
Animals and pollen arent pottery that sits on a table. Animals migrate, reproduce and so do trees. Birds fly so therefore they need not drown. In grade 2, we learned that animals and winds can carry pollon and seeds and that after a tsunami or flooding, plant life can return.
Han, your childish version of what you think Atlantis is or looked like is not really shared by anyone over the age of 11 and especially in this thread.
