Yours is a bad fiction story that has NOTHING to do with what Plato said.

I don't see any mountains in Florida, myself.  And I've been there many times.

I’ve been there a few times myself, compared to the Southern Appalachians where I’m from the biggest thing in Florida is a zit.

No: no, sorry, everyone: we're all wrong.

Turns out there are no fewer than 238 mountains in Florida.

And the highest is an awe-inspiring, Himalayas-imitating ...

115 yards.

Just think of the problems Atlas would have had, staggering round and trying to hoist mega-mounts like that ...

Since Tampa archaeology goes back 7,000 years with Windover style burials off the Coast......No..

I'm just bummed that I was so close to it back when I was visiting Panama City years ago. If I had only known, what a time that would have been.

The problem with that is that the story of Atlantis allegedly goes back a further 4600 years from then which works against Rojack that much more.

My closing comment in #3227 was only slightly in jest. If you study the topic to any degree of detail, you will find that the rapidly surging implementation of AI technology is about to have a very significant (and disturbing) affect on our cultures, communications, and lifeways. And, given current projections, it could happen much sooner than many may perceive. The "problem" is not a joke.

Be aware, be very aware.

A last note: As those who are familiar with the patterns of my research and presentations have long ago surmised, it is far from my nature to be involved in "conspiracy theories". Take thoughtful care.

My point exactly. Florida is flat and level, a Plain state Just like Plato's plain of Atlantis. The Southern Appalachians protect this Plain.  Plato sometimes referred to the hills on the plain as mountains.

They bridged over the three moats and left one spring and a  partial moat. The castle sat on the which Plato called a mountain. Read more about the Island of Atlantis and how it got its name. To see all this, follow the link . Only one fountain is left.

You’re fantasy STILL fails as your plain MUST be circa 345 X 230 miles in size with a circa 1150 mile long ditch surrounding and joining the city on either side and the city of Atlantis MUST be 50 - 55 stadia/5.75 - 6.3 miles from the sea which as Plato details is located ON THE SOUTHERN border, something of which Tampa COULD NEVER be.

So... a flexible number for the "stadia" measurement?  Where stadia close to the ocean suddenly become the size of an inch but to the north a stadia becomes about 90 miles in length?

The last time I saw something like that involved traveling near light speed, where things get red shifted and blue shifted.  Now... I'm fairly certain that Florida has shifted red some time ago and remains shifted red, but I am not at all convinced that it's traveling at near light speeds.

Good bleeping grief. Between myself and the recent worthy contribution by Windowpane, this brief note will mark the fourth time that the following legitimately cited information will be presented. One is at a loss to add more emphasis without being textually absurd:

Harbour Island, formerly known as Seddon Island, is a modern construct that did not exist prior to 1906

Seddon Island did not exist prior to 1906. In its place was a lot of water and a small portion of an island commonly known as Little Grassy Island.

The Corps’ shipping channel cut through Little Grassy Island on its way to the Hillsborough River. A byproduct of the dredging work was sand — lots of sand. So much sand, in fact, that engineers were able to deposit it along the eastern side of the new channel near (and on) Little Grassy Island to create a bigger island for the port’s use.

Are you remotely capable of reading your own mapping notations? The names associated with your "island"?.  And no, the southernmost extension of the Appalachian Mountains are not consistent with Plato's descriptions. And yes, as with a number of other intelligent contributors, it has been my personal experience to travel throughout the state of Florida, from end to end (N-S) and side to side (E-W), including the Tampa area. You would appear to have no idea how tragically wrong your geographically remote "understandings" are.

Such unbridled foolishness.

Edit: Punctuation.

If you were remotely familiar with the weather patterns of the region in question, you would realize how erroneous this statement is. Have you ever been off your island? (or out of your mother's basement?). The real world is notably larger than you would appear to grasp. And much more geologically, archaeologically, and historically complex.

First of all, thanks for your input,

However, If you carefully read through Plato's story, you will find the location of the three rings of water that surrounded the castle.. If you read a little further, you will find that they bridged over the three moats that surrounded the castle.  If you study the map, you will find one of the two springs that provided both hot and cold water.

https://goo.gl/maps/SGrtx3rFWTyWWHZbA

So there is a spring what of it? 

I have 3 of them on a farm in Namibia.......

You are just a walking talking contradiction. You say the mountains that protect Atlantis, then you say no mountains. Then its rivers, then harbors, then ditches. You cannot seem to make up your mind.

Look mate. It takes more than the landform to be Atlantis. I can find this landform in about 10 other places, from Thessaly to Africa, however, this alone does not make it Atlantis.

Each thread I did researching the various places led me to look for more viable places. Atlantis is in the America’s is a common topic but you can’t just work with the land form alone. It has  to have so many other elements to even be considered a possible place. I can see you’re doing your best, I applaud your effort but this argument alone won’t cut it.

I have met some with strong opinions on concrete and timber, but that is irrelevant to the topic.

Answers: Search “Harbour Island in Tampa”

Nothing of interest came up on the first two pages, so since I wasn't going to search through approximately 8,7 million hits I searched “Harbour Island in Tampa Atlantis” instead. and guess what, an article mentioning you Dennis Brooks showed up.  https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2005-03-28-0503280161-story.html

 

"Every time I'd get away from the equator, it just couldn't happen any way else. That's what kept me concentrating on the Florida area," says Brooks, who posted his theory on his Web site, cramschool.us. "The most baffling part about it was how Harbour Island could be so lush and pristine and shaped just like Plato's description after 11,000 years."

Baffling, indeed, considering present-day Harbour Island was shaped in part with sand dredged from Hillsborough Bay, says Rodney Kite-Powell, curator of the Tampa Bay History Center.

You can see by the map that Atlantis is either in the Gulf of Mexico or the Hudson Bay.

What happened to the obvious land mass that was there before...?

Will the real Atlantis please rise up?
