Hello, im a new user on this website, and ive always had my theories, on certain unexplained places and happenings.
What i want to know, are versions of your theoires, becuase you cant just trust other sources like documentries and scientists. In fact scientists dont do there job very well, and even if they do find a breakthrough, they are paid to shut up or they are silenced. For example, scientists dont even know what gravity is, i mean duh everyone knows what gravity is, but do we? But lets stop talking about these things, lets focus on Atlantis and Agharta.
So please, plz reply back with a few paragraphs or sentances, which ever suits you best. and tell me what you think the connection is all your theory.
thx

Um Atlantis didn't existing, it is base in pure mythology. (its been covered here before)
And with regard to your statement:- 'For example, scientists dont even know what gravity is' are you joking?

Atlantis:-
Mythical (until proven otherwise) prehistoric city destroyed in a cataclysm. Original reference by Plato, it is not proven either way if Plato was writing fact or fiction at the time.
Agharta (According to Wiki):-
Agharta (アガルタ, Agaruta?) is a manga by mangaka Matsumoto Takaharu serialized in Young Jump. So far 9 collected volumes have been published in Japan by Shūeisha.
Summary
After the earth becomes an immense desert following a cataclysm and life has become a struggle of the survival of the fittest. The story centers around Juju, a teenage boy who belongs to the one of the gangs which prevail on behalf of the new organizations, and Rael, a girl who will be able to perhaps save humanity.
Unless you are referring to another usage of the word "Agharta" then the only connections i an see are that they both involve cataclysms, and at least one is fictional, and both may be.

Did Atlantis Exist ??? YESSSSSSSS
Was It A Great Civilization ??? YESSSSS
Were They Defeated by NOMAD Greeks ??? YESSSS
Did The City Sink ???? YESSSSS
Where did all this happen ??? IN PLATO'S MIND.... (ITS JUST A STORY)
As For EVIDENCE of Atlantis Existence.... here is the thing
other than PLATO there is NONE !!!
Now let me answer the question asked at the start of this topic....
from what i gather you are trying to get the connection between ATLANTIS and some Nation/city thats Inside the Earth ???
here is my answer
Only Connection between these two is
1. Only "Kids" believe that either exists
2. No Evidence Supporting Existence of Either
3. Santa Doesn't Visit On Christmas
and finally
4. They Are Both Made Up...

American classical scholar Daniel Dombrowski:
'Atlantis was only a powerful literary device invented by Plato, which was to act as a means of highlighting the fate of the ideal state created in Plato's mind's eye. The only place in which Atlantis can be found, in addition to the writings of Plato, is in the minds of those with an imagination as vivid as that of Plato.'

Plato
Plato (Greek: Πλάτων, Plátōn, "wide, broad-shouldered") (428/427 BC[a] – 348/347 BC), whose original name was Aristocles, was an ancient Greek philosopher, the second of the great trio of ancient Greeks –succeeding Socrates and preceding AristotleDaniel Dombrowski
Daniel A. Dombrowski (born 1953) is an American philosopher. He is currently professor at Seattle University in the United States. He works in ethics, theology, classics, and literature.As Mr Dombrowski appears to have been born some 2000 odd years after Plato i suggest we could conclude that Mr Dombrowski is stating his opinion on what Plato was writing about rather than stating fact.
I am sure those UM members who have "been here for years" would understand the difference between theories and fact.

i study history and art ...
and i believe in FACTS ....
Myths are Great... but truth is much better
if you believe in atlantis i suggest u start researching the TIME of PLATO...
beeing that he is the one that came up with the story you look into the things happening around him during his lifetime... pretty soon you realize that everything that is writen in "Atlantis story" happened to Greeks in/around Mediterranean area...
Island did sink (Atalante)
Athens did go to war with their Allie (Sparta)
City did get destroy in one night (Helike)
if you read into Helike you realize how similar it is to atlantis... it was the capital of the Achaean League meaning it had a strong Political Power...It was a place where people came to worship Poseidon (same as Atlantis) ... in one night it was hit by earthquakes and Tsunamis... and next day it was gone... all the people Dead... City Completely Destroyed....
Once again i suggest you look into the writings of Greeks Historians... Might learn Something
P.S. Its Not about wining ... i am just trying to share some informations with you lol

The only one spouting "FACTS" was yourself, it is actually irrelevant if you agree with Dombowski or not, it does not make his THEORY any more FACTUAL.
As for Greek historians not mentioning Atlantis, i have no idea, as i was not there at the time. There could be many reasons, lost documentation etc. It COULD also be that Plato was writing fiction at the time AS I STATED ON MY FIRST POST.
By the way, putting smilies on your posts in no way makes it any less sarcastic.

For example, scientists dont even know what gravity is
Names such as Newton, Hawking and others have enabled science to understand many of physics' biggest mysteries by discovering many aspects of gravity. The applications of their works are numerous in the fields of astronomy, space flights (one of the greatest achievements of the human race), molecular and quantum physics. I find it outrageous that you speak of some of the greatest thinkers and scientists of all human history like if they didn't know anything.

Gravity can by no means be reduced to "a force that pull towards earth". It explains with astonishing accuracy the formation of the stars, the galaxies, and the nature of black holes. Gravity is a form of acceleration, by the second principle of Newton, which establishes a connection between mass, acceleration (gravity), and force. It is also a fundamental element of relativity, which itself explains many things. None of these are only theories, as they have practical applications. By the way, let me ask you how you came to think that scientists know nothing about gravity. How many books have you read on the subject?

So that's how you came to deny the whole gravitation theory.
And I don't think Hawking ever denied his gravitational theories. Let me ask you a question, Adama. What do you consider as your primary sorces? Is it the internet you trust so much? I wouldn't be too proud of myself if reading books was only my secondary source of knowledge. You know, being ignorant is in no way an advantage.

There is no historical bases for Atlantis, the first and only reference in ancient history to Atlantis was made by Plato, who wasn't a historian. And the stories of Agharta/Agartta/Agharti/Agarttha/Aryavartha/Belovodye/Hsi Tien/Janaidar/Shamballa/Shambalah or whatever you want to call it, have as much substance as stories of Hades/Hell/Guinee/Pulotu/Metnal/Yomi or any of the other fabled underworld's...

I have this to say to those who say there is no evidence for Atlantis: Plato was not the original author he heard the story from the Egyptians, Plato I agree might have put in refrences of the Greeks in the same way hollywood would put Aliens coming to DC to meet the Human leader. Plato might have exagaratted the size of the Continent and added some political ideas for the Greeks but the essence of the story should not be written of. The story concides with the ending of the last Ice age, their is also proof of international cross ocean trade, their is also the sudden apearance of the Sumers could they have been the ramnants of Atlantis in reinaccanse? Why couldnt Atlantis have Logically existed? Plato never mentioned Lasers and flying vechicles. Atlantis would also explain similarities between the Americas and Egypt.

first of all the little STORY that says that Plato's father(Ariston) got the story(atlantis) from an Egyptian Priest is complete bogus ....
i mean ATHENS was attacked.. only reference to the city is in fact from a GREEK.... where is ANY evidence that Egyptians had anything to do with Atlantis ???
from what i remember Egyptians were GREAT at recording History... and i believe that such a great civilization like atlanteans would have a place in at least on of the historic texts written by Egyptians .... but once again we have NOTHING
"their is also proof of international cross ocean trade" where ??? please provide us with some reliable links ???
"Atlantis would also explain similarities between the Americas and Egypt." what similarities are you talking about ???
If you consider a PYRAMIDS to be SIMILAR to TEMPLES in S.America than you are mixing apples and oranges...
Once Again please do look into the Greece Region at the time of Plato's life... look at natural disasters and destruction of Helike might be an eye opener
read into geographers, historians, writers who wrote about Helike:" Herakleides, Eratosthenes, Diodorus, Strabo, Ovid, Pausanias, Aelian" and i am 10000% sure that while reading about its destruction you will think about atlantis

How do you know the story of Platos father is made up?
Just some of many
Cross Atlantic trade:

Yes the story of Atlantis could be about the destruction of a local greek city but wouldnt the greek readers know about them as well. Why would he get the story in Egypt? If he didnt get in Egypt why make it up? Again he used Athens to bring the story closer to Greek hearts. Answer me this why couldnt Atlantis exist as Plato said explain in Logical terms this impossibility.

I have this to say to those who say there is no evidence for Atlantis: Plato was not the original author he heard the story from the Egyptians, Plato I agree might have put in refrences of the Greeks in the same way hollywood would put Aliens coming to DC to meet the Human leader. Plato might have exagaratted the size of the Continent and added some political ideas for the Greeks but the essence of the story should not be written of. The story concides with the ending of the last Ice age, their is also proof of international cross ocean trade, their is also the sudden apearance of the Sumers could they have been the ramnants of Atlantis in reinaccanse? Why couldnt Atlantis have Logically existed? Plato never mentioned Lasers and flying vechicles. Atlantis would also explain similarities between the Americas and Egypt.
That's right... every time somebody says "A friend of a friend told me..." it's always 100%, absolutely true...

easy there tiger....
why couldnt it exist... easy enough
BECAUSE THERE IS NO HISTORICAL EVIDENCE OF IT EVER EXISTING.... ONLY THING WE HAVE TO GO ON IS A STORY BY PHILOSOPHER
Philosophy is the discipline concerned with the questions of how one should live (ethics); what sorts of things exist and what are their essential natures (metaphysics); what counts as genuine knowledge (epistemology); and what are the correct principles of reasoning
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosopher
A historian is an individual who studies history and who writes on history.[1] The person may be an authority (or expert) over history,[1] but this is not a requirement. Most generally, historians are the writers, compilers and narrators of history.[2] Historians are concerned with the continuous, systematic narrative and research of past events as relating to the human race; as well as the study of all events in time.

'Atlantis was only a powerful literary device invented by Plato,
and a great Disney cartoon.
