+Pettytalk Posted June 16, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Those canals were not in the hundreds. If we were to just skim over the surface text of Plato's description we have fifty canals, diisregarding the width of tbe canals. The canals were said to be only in the plain measuring 3,000 X 2,000 stade. The canals being 100 stade apart, we have 20 one way, and 30 the other way. As 20 X 100 = 2,000 and 30 X 100 = 3,000 But again, that's just one aspect of it, as there is more meaning deeper down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that would be about 500 x 300 miles? Thats consistent with where they are located. Edited June 16, 2019 by RabidMongoose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask the Egyptian priests, perhaps they were using the Egyptian stade. I make it out to be 186 meters, for each stade, on average. But from Plato's point of view miles are more like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your stade measurement seems to be correct which would make the area of straight canals 558 x 336 which I`d looks about right for the area in Texas and Louisiana that has them in. I checked out native American cities in the area and there is a lack of information. Just nomads, but nomads dont have a need to create canals and so many canals at that. There is no information I could find about the US building them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Pettytalk Posted June 16, 2019 #12 Share Posted June 16, 2019 The canals are just one of the many clues given for Atlantis. One cannot come out and make a claim of an Atlantis found based on a single particular, the canals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well its opposite the straits of Gibraltar, there are plains, there are loads of straight canals. Putting aside who made it, we still cannot explain what the straight canals and rivers are about. They are not man made and there is nothing that I can find in USA history about a mass canal building program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
