Atlantis ( Archived) (34)

Marjorie Butler wrote a book, I believe it was called "Discovering Atlantis," you should check it out......

Plato wrote a very descriptive work on Atlantis, which he never finished. Historians are unsure if the writing was fiction or not. That writing is where the legend was born. Some estimates of where the island may have been located are based on the theoretical pangea, and the shape the continents took afterward. Mayan literature claims that they were a people that came from the water, and their extremely advanced knowledge of science and astronomy gives evidence to the possibility of them being descendents from atlanteans, possible survivors of the island's disaster who washed up on shore in South America. Although, 97% of mayan literature was destroyed by invading Conquistadors (sp?) and missionaries from Spain in hopes of converting the mayans to Christianity... So, it is impossible to tell what Mayan history says as to the existence of Atlantis.... As for the realism of the theory, the secret died with Plato, maybe one day we'll know for sure.....

Very interesting, and all of it quite probable. With all the technology we have today I wonder why it hasn't been investigated more in depth. I believe it was no myth.

I believe it existed and likely was sunk by an earthquake.

YES.....I saw the movie!!!!

No precise location was really ever agreed upon despite the many theories.
It's like the fountain of Youth,The Bermuda Triangle,Avalon or any other supposedly mysterious place named throughout history.Lots of explanations but not solid proof.

It did... I was there a while back.

It's like looking for a needle in a hay stack unless you use technology

and you didn't invite me?????geeeeeze

Yes it isSongs for a Better Planet

"Atlantis" Lyrics

The continent of Atlantis was an island
Which lay before the great flood
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land, that from her western shores
Those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South
And the North Americas with ease
In their ships with painted sails.
To the east, Africa was a neighbor,
Across a short strait of sea miles.

The great Egyptian age is but a remnant
Of the Atlantian culture.
The antediluvian kings colonized the world;
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis.

Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist, the magician,
And the other so-called Gods of our legends,
Though Gods they were.
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind,
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new . . .
Hail Atlantis!

Way down below the ocean, where I wanna be, she may be . . .
Way down below the ocean, where I wanna be, she may be . . .

My antediluvian baby, oh yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah,
I want to see you some day.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah,
My antediluvian baby.
My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl;
Girl, I want to see you some day.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah,
I want to see you some day, oh,
My antediluvian baby.
My antediluvian baby, I want to see you;
My antediluvian baby—gotta tell me where she gone—
I want to see you some day,
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh yeah;
Oh glub glub, down down, yeah . . .
