Abe: Just a personal note here. Docy is a quite elderly woman who has dealt with a number of medical issues. While her position may not be well supported, consider that her engagement on these pages, and the incorporated mental stimulation, may have value in regards to her quality of life in her latter years.

Ok, thank you for telling me. I had no idea.

Image: Atlantis rings

I still think this could be Atlantis:)

This socalled satellite photo is not an actual photo:

From Rome Bureau Chief Gayle Young
ROME (CNN) -- Beneath the Eternal City, an accident has unveiled a mystery that has archaeologists excited but puzzled.
In the ancient Baths of Trajan, near the Colosseum, a worker accidentally scraped away part of a wall this spring, revealing a map some 2,000 years old.
But a map of what?
"It's certainly not Rome, because the features don't match," says site superintendent Eugenio La Rocca. "Also, it's not London, as has been suggested."
Historians are considering the possibility that it's a mythical city, or a figment of the artist's imagination, but La Rocca is not convinced. "It's possible it's Atlantis, but we don't think so," he says. "It's so precise, we believe it's a real city."
While experts compare the map to the layout of known ancient cities, modern technology has been brought to bear on the question. Experts have enhanced the faded colors of the painting, and built a three-dimensional model based on it.
Art historians are also intrigued -- the painter used shadowing and perspective techniques that were uncommon in the first century A.D., and painted buildings reflected in water.
Perhaps most intriguingly, the map is painted from an overhead perspective, as if the artist was hovering above the city gates.
Though historians have the best of modern technology and surviving ancient documents on their side, the map may never be understood; the city it depicts and the artist who painted it may have left no other tracks to follow.

From one of your.many links:

"Historians are considering the possibility that it's a mythical city, or a figment of the artist's imagination, but La Rocca is not convinced. "It's possible it's Atlantis, but we don't think so," he says. "It's so precise, we believe it's a real city."

 

I see, he said the magical word... But I think he said it in jest.

It would suggest it would probably be a representation of Troy because Roman legend said that Rome was built by survivors from said city.

Aeneid

A Latin epic poem, written by Virgil between 29 and 19 BC, that tells the legendary story of Aeneas, a Trojan who travelled to Italy

Man, that video brings up some old memories!

I think I was 12 or 13 years old  and heavily in love with a girl called Marian.

But that was half a century ago.

A reply to Docyabut2:

So there we have - probably - remnants of Tartessos.

And THAT is the lost civilization.

Considering its age, it will look a lot like a Phoenician harbour because by then the Phoenicians/Punics had long ago settled there, and had mixed their culture with the culture of the Tartessians.

On the other hand - if we tell her she's right, maybe she'll shut up once and for all.  And let's be honest - a five-year-old article on ancient-origins, even though it's been comprehensively debunked many times since, is proof enough for most whackos on this site.

(I still prefer my own theory - that Atlanteans are time-travellers from the far future, and that Atlantis will be built in many, many locations - just not yet.  Has no one noticed that some letters from Time-travelling Atlanteans aRe Discovered Interfering with Spacetime spells out TARDIS?  Coincidence?  I think not.)

Plato

All this including the zones and the bridge, which was the sixth part of a stadium in width, they surrounded by a stone wall on every side, placing towers and gates on the bridges where the sea passed in

Here was Poseidon's own temple which was a stadium in length, and half a stadium in width, and of a proportionate height, having a strange barbaric appearance

Well, considering there are three different Atlantises in Doctor Who, you may be on to something.

Someone made a very good arguement that there’s only one - the Atlantis in Underrated Menace was sunk by Kronos in Time Monster, and Azal was lying in Daemons.
