thanks shadowsot, Greek Titan Atlas.. supporting the earth ..so Great we named world maps after him  ... and thanks Qoais,  ..who said: " All we have is a passing mention of Atlanteans by Siculus and Herodotus, talking about some peoples who lived on the north coast of Africa"
  .....  Of course the guys on other shores had their own names for the Atlantic ?    I like the idea of a golden age of some sort..  wise and benevolent civilization ...   I don't like the part where they got selfish and misused their knowledge lol.

Didn't know it had been lost!

Antarctica had been lost since 9,500 B.C. (see Plato's Timaeus) and was rediscovered in 1820.

Hahahaa!! Atlantis was lost alright, it sank beath the waves, IF it really existed in the first place.

That theory of Flem' Ath (spelling?) is nice, but based on distorting about anything Plato said.

Atlantis has been 'found' about anywhere on the globe.

There is nothing like a antartica being lost. It was that..we didnt bother to look!

I found it again, a year ago in the freezing compartment of my refrigirator.

Then it finally broke down ( I hit the frige with a hammer - sort of an asteroid impact - to end the ice age)

That was the moment I had to buy a new refrigirator.

Exactly!  And those waves are now frozen ice.  Antarctica was once in a temperate climate.

Millions of years ago, well outside the timeframe of even the earliest humans.

ANtartica is not completly covered in ice, though there is a good deal of it.
THe only evidence for habitation of Antartica goes back to the dino days.

OMG, now someone will start telling us about the Reptiliods that disgiuse themselves as humans !!

OK, believe me, it's all true : their king was Jim Morrison, the "Lizard King".

You - as a linguist -  should at least have corrected my spelling, ok?

beath = beneath.

Check some scientific sites about ancient sea currents, the climate, and so on, and don't just believe anything that matches your daydreams.

It did indeed have a temperate climate once, but that was MANY millions of years ago, however much Flem likes to ignore that fact.

For those folks who subscribe to the theory of the poles shifting (the solid surface of the earth occasionally 'floating' on the liquid portion of the core) it would be possible that Antartic was ice-free at least in part about 11,000 years ago.  The last alledged pole shift took the North pole from somewhere in Hudson Bay to its current position.  The location of the South pole would likewise have changed with Antartica being located roughly 2000 miles closer to the Equator.  This might account for the Piri Reis maps showing Antartica as it would be without ice.  However if ice cores from all of Antartica can be shown to be of million plus years old that would certainly shoot that theory down.  Plato's version of Atlantis tells of it being larger than Libya and parts of Asia Minor and being "West of the Pillars of Hercules".  That pretty much shoots down islands in the Mediteranean and Antartica.  If you're a pole shift believer the most likely place for Atlantis would be in the Carribean Sea area which would have been pretty much directly West of Gibraltar (pillars of hercules) if the pole was in Hudson Bay.  Edgar Cayce puts a remnant of Atlantis as showing up in 1968(?) when the Bimini Road was discovered.  Who knows at this point?
