What if the Egyptians got help building the pyrimids? what if advanced technology was used to help create the pyrimids, what if The Atlanteans were advanced because they were not originally from this world? what if they were connected with the building of the pyramids?

there are 2 possible dates that most agree on that could have been the end of Atlantis

- http://www.geocities.com/myessays/datingfromlakelevels.htm

The Minoan eruption of Thera, occured around 1600bc and was one of the biggest that happened in recorded history if atlantis was destroyed by a tidal wave from that it makes sense.

the pyramids, were built somewhere inbetween 3000 bc and 1800bc the exact time is unknown, that way it still fits the theory that atlantis was desrtoyed by a tidal wave and aliens helped build the pyrimids

does anyone think any of this is possible? its just a theory i came up with.

Hrmmmzzz...

You do know that Plato made Atlantis up to convey his political theories better don't you?

If one can find it: DIGGING FOR THE TRUTH. - They did a segment on Atlantis and found the very real possiblity that it was actually a place, by another name that fit the story of Atlantis a 'little to well' - based on the writings of Plato. If one could find this online - watch it - very well done!

thankyou i shall try and find it tomorrow morning when the broardband is back

Is this the one cocerning the supposedly man made structures of Japan that are suspected to be natural phenomena?

I have not heard a serious ideal that Atlantis was anything other than myth created by Plato, although some disagree with thhe idea that it was to illustrate his political ideals, they feel that they have evidence that Plato was in fact inspired to write these works based on the earlier Thera eruption or the Trojan War.
Interesting to know that Plato never completed this story either. It was lost during the middle ages, found and resurected. During the late 19th century, ideas about the legendary nature of Atlantis were combined with stories of other lost continents such as Mu and Lemuria by popular figures in the occult and the growing new age phenomenon. Also, the whole sinking bit took place 9000 years before Plato wrote the story. Someone had a good memory as written records were not very common 9 1/2 thousand years ago.

The fact that the Greek God Poseidon owned Atlantis (he even carved the mountian on the middle of the island) does not help it past the mythical stage either. He didn't exist.

Just one more little bit to add, Plato scholar Dr Julia Annas (Regents Professor of Philosophy, University of Arizona) has had this to say on the matter:



I'd have to say that Digging for Truth is simply attempting to excavate ratings.

I'd say she has a better idea than any of us - no

Cheers.

A lot of my friends say Atlantis is a bunch of crazy talk, but I believe there is an Atlantis.... then again, I believe in wedjie boards (HAUNTED & BAD), psychics, and parallel universes in mirrors... oh well.

Hrrmzzz.... I'm not quoting buddies, I quoted a Plato Scholar, the lady spends large portions of her life studying the fellow. I am not even saying what I reckon IS 100%.


Surely you agree the lady must have a pretty good idea?

what if when they talked about the God posiden they didnt actually mean God as in a powerful being which created the sea, back then the interpretation of that name may have been very different, for example someone could have been called Posiden and become famous somehow, or maybe he saved some person who was drowning, became known as a God and people then called him the God of the sea Posiden, or maybe he actually called himself that and became well known. there are thousands of possibilities. and we cant say that he didnt exist, unless someone somewhere has evidence of it, it also means we cant prove if he did either but still, you cant overlook posibilities.

If Atlantis existed, the people would have been normal people like everyone else. If they were super advanced, then how did the Stone Age Greeks of 9400 BC supposedly stomp them and send them running back to their island, which soon after sank?

What if atlantis never existed, what if the egyptians built the pyramids, what if people actually listened to their teachers when they were at school!!

That last 'what if' was my major problem, too busy chasing girls...

but did you ever catch any Reb?

No they ran too fast.

I found some interesting items here:

Discovery?

Atlantis 2<-------This is a video (MOST INTERESTING!!!!)

Atlantis


As for the topic..."What If?"...I think it's very cool and I hope one day a "what if" becomes a reality.

and what if it was true, what if some teachers dont even teach their students anything that is interesting and keep to the boring stuff, what if students do listen to their teachers!

Men are born ignorant, not stupid; they are made stupid by education. -Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

Nice quote, where did you find that it.

Here ya go John... Education...

He carved the mountian on the middle of the island. No matter how many drowning victims he rescued, his biceps aint gonna get that big.
Yes, it is quite clear they are referring to the Greek Gods.

There is no possibility, that is the problem, not being rude, but have you studied the legend at all, or have you just heard of it? If you read about it, it is really very clear Plato never intended this to be taken literally. In fact, according to the story, the whole thing was over 9,000 years before Plato. How did he gain this knowledge of a civilisation lost so long before his time?
Additionally, this work was enhanced in the 1880's (by Ignatius L. Donnelly ). Before that, in the original writings, Atlantis was a race of Barbarians. It is only the fantastical recreation that makes the civilisation of Atlantis comparable to, or more advaced than modern man.

May I ask what drives you to believe that the legendary place did exist.
Atlantis came from a book, it is no more a factual account than is Waterworld. Time does not quantify it's veracity.

hey thankyou for the links, looks like i have a bit of reading to do

No problem hun.

Maybe start with the second link...it's a video.

Happy Linking...lmao... Jody
