No, I don't suspect that, friend.

wait poseidon is enki. he had a flying floating city. it didn't sink to the bottom of the ocean, it rose up from a huge gate on the bottom of the ocean floor. so if anything, when it "sunk", it just went back threw the gate. atlantis is not a ruins, it's gone.

Ill buy that, certainly. But are we allowed to entertain the possibility that "Atlantis" was also heavily damaged by the flood, and not quite where Plato suggests?

no it wasn't destroyed. the outskirts of eridu were destroyed but the e.abzu was not (that was the name given to it by the people after the flood). if it was destroyed, you'd see the remains of an ancient technological wonder smack dab in the middle of iraq

addendum: e.abzu is a holy temple/city. it's made entirely of metal. it was fashioned in the abyss and rose up from it. it floated over (not on) the water. so it was water-going, submersible, and had flight capabilities. there are several descriptions of it.

The mighty Krishna also slew the valiant king of Chedis, that leader of kings, as if he were some animal, on the occasion of the latter's disputing about the Arghya. Putting forth his prowess, Madhava hurled unto the sea the Daitya city called Saubha, (moving) in the skies, protected by Salwa, and regarded as impregnable.

There are various 'secret societies' of whom know more about the true history than most of the world. This is a very broad topic though if you research them, you may be surprised in what you didn't know. These groups of people retain this knowledge for their own purposes, and yes, it has alot to do with 'control' as well as lack of faith in humanity of being responsible with such knowledge.
I'm well aware of much of the true history of mankind though its a delicate topic and believe its best for one to find, discover the truth for one's self. Truth has always been self-evident. It's too bad humanity has been drowning in a sea of lies since the dawn of man. Here's a good link to get you started if you wish to take that path:

Those are the forces I consider the "Unseen" forces. Not all evil.
The directors of the conspiracy must see or otherwise directly perceive manifestations which convince them of the existence and power of Lucifer. And since subtle conspirators must be very shrewd men, not likely to be deceived by auto-suggestion, hypnosis, or drugs, we should have to conclude that they probably are in contact with a force of pure evil." (Prof. Revilo P. Oliver, Conspiracy or Degeneracy?, USA)
The island is the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions the planet has ever seen: the Minoan eruption (sometimes called the Thera eruption), which occurred some 3,600 years ago at the height of the Minoan civilization. The eruption left a large caldera surrounded by volcanic ash deposits hundreds of feet deep and may have led indirectly to the collapse of the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete, 110 km (70 miles) to the south, through the creation of a gigantic tsunami. Another popular theory holds that the Thera eruption is the source of the legend of Atlantis.

During the interglacial thaw after the Sangamon Ice Age, which peaked some seventy thousand years ago, water levels rose by at least one hundred feet, almost enitely inundating the bahamas. This was follwed by the gradual cooling the toward the most recent ice age, called the Wisconsin, which reached its climax no more that sitenn thousand years ago, when man was already established throughout the American continent. Sea levels fell by as much as three hundred feet, hugely increasing the land area of the Bahamas and narrowing the gaps between the islands and the the main.
Me, hired? Wheres the paycheck then

....aaaand black ops research groups that hold their findings secret, only privy to an elite few, while hiring propaganda campaigns to fictionalize and/or mock any thought of it in the public's mind.
Keep that in mind at all times, thank you.

Plato says that the capital city of Atlantis was near a plain measuring 2,000 x 3,000 stadia, which in modern figures is about 230 by 340 miles (slightly larger than the state of South Dakota in the United States). There were mountains surrounding this plain on three sides. The size of Atlantis depends on the extent of these mountain ranges, and Plato doesn't specify how wide these mountain ranges were
Ive included this image with measurements. As you can see the size matches closely.

Coast to Coast is a great program, I used to listen to it every night while I drove, but not practical now a days.

This is pretty old news. Most Coast to Coast listeners were familiar with both the story and images more than a year ago! Very interesting though

Therefore, the ancient Mexican homeland was the Atlas empire with the Atlas Mountains near Gibraltar being named after him. That maritime kingdom included the coastal regions in many parts of the Atlantic Ocean during the Ice Age. Sunken ruins of this kingdom are reported off southern Spain, Morocco, the Teneriffe Islands, and the Bimini Islands located just east of Miami, all being coastal port facilities during the Ice Age when the sea level was close to 100 meters lower.
There are many ancient legends about a now submerged empire. The Dutch refer to it as Atland, the British name it Avalon, the Spanish name it Atlantica, the Portuguese name it Atlantida, and of course, the Mexicans have a legend about Atlan. Obviously, these legends are all speaking about the same Atlantic Ice Age empire whose namesake was Atlas, or the Map Man, who used the ancient mapping methodology explained in article #2 at IceAgeCivilizations.com.
