Topic: Does Atlantis really exist? - page 2. (Read 4276 times)

(Blue colorization mine.)

Its a whole continent of its own, myth says it broke off into 7 large islands and subsequently also were sunk due to the cataclysm.

If so what continent did it break off of.

Where in this all started the Myth of Atlantis.
If you look for Edgar Cayce, he speaks a lot about this long lost continent.
I do believe that there was Atlantis and it sunk due to a great cataclysm.

A lost island that Plato described in his books, timaeus and critias.

A theme park. and a good one at that.

What is Atlantis for you?

Why do scientists want to cover something up that stares them right in the face? It's time to bring the knowledge about the antediluvian world to light, just like it is time to implement Bitcoin worldwide.

The point is that no one really knows for sure and this is why underwater exploration is so important.  There have already been evidence of submerged villages and some have been excavated just not on the scale of any legendary Atlantis.  But give it time, I would imagine explorers will continue to find amazing things in our oceans. 

There is no evidence show it really exist.

His website is also a great reference for archaeology and other scientific news

Are the Easter Island stone heads just a "myth"?

That's the point. WE and the people of the world are the descendants of Atlantis.

Thank you for your kind words TF.
Changed the tittle.

Until Atlantis is actually discovered it is only a myth and a theory.

It is not a big step, but...

Even though scientists and archaeologists seem to have figured out that there was this great big cataclysm around 12,000 years ago, there is still one problem. That problem is this. They use carbon dating as a basis for dating everything before about 2,500 BC. The reason that they do this is, we don't have any "pottery" and such that can be accurately dated from before about 4,500 years ago.

Sure, there are scientists who date pottery from earlier dates. But there are also those who have good reasons to suggest that dates beyond 4,500 years ago are unrealistic.

Carbon dating is based on the dates of that old "pottery" and such. It is extrapolated for earlier times. But, C-14 dating may be giving us the wrong dates for times before 4,500 years ago. Why? Because before 4,500 years ago is a time for which we don't have any "pottery" from, pottery that can be conclusively dated.

Why isn't there any pottery from before that time? Because the cataclysm that has been arbitrarily dated to a much earlier time, actually happened at that time - 4,500 years ago. Before the cataclysm happened, there was a difference in the way C-14 worked and the amounts of C-14 that were everywhere on earth.

The speed of light is not the constant that people have thought. Even now it varies a little bit all the time. All kinds of things were different back before 4,500 years ago, before the Great Flood of Noah's day. The Flood itself was probably caused by the gigantic comet (an ice comet) that is depicted in the video. It brought not only an excessive amount of water to the earth, but it also might have changed the way C-14 acted, so that we are getting a skewed picture of how old the Earth is from C-14 extrapolated dating.

These things that I am stating are not things that we know for certain. However, if you search for the idea that many of the physics constants that we trust in now, may not have been the same constants in the past, but may have been variables in the ancient past, you will find that we really don't know. Even core samples that are dated by methods other than C-14, may be wrong because of our inability in determining exactly what we are looking at age-wise.

In other words, much of the time-line of Earth history may really overlap so that all kinds of things in the ancient past might have happened much closer together, or even overlapped. The only way we could tell for sure is to build a time viewer and watch people as they are actually doing things back then. Graham Hancock suggests that there might be a big scientific coverup, because it would disrupt the way we understand physics, making us have to go back and start over in our thinking.

Beyond about 4,500 years ago, NOTHING is certain in the age of the earth or the timeline of what happened.

Is it a big step to suppose that this is what they're working on in area 52; that space aliens while probably out there are not the source of the technological inspiration?

I only ask because the grammatical errors in the title of this thread have a direct correlation the "IS UFO or ALIENS are real ?" thread and it's a simple case of putting a + b together for me.

When you look at the video "‘Magicians of the Gods’, snapshots of a work in progress," by Graham Hancock, you see that, even though the times of the events may not be correct, that there was a worldwide trade collaboration, far in the distant past. The thing known as "Atlantis" may or may not have been a separate island location. It may have been the capitol of the worldwide trade organization. It may have been a pattern, something like flags proclaim what nation or grouping we exist with. Only the "flag" called "Atlantis" may have been something far greater than a simple flag like we have. It may have been the symbol of the various relationships to the ancient worldwide trade organization, built in a shape, right in the ground of certain lands, built to resemble the capitol city of Atlantis.

The point is, whatever the timelines, whatever the archaeological finds, whatever ancient technology existed, there was a time in the distant past, for sure beyond 4,500 years ago, where worldwide civilization existed. And this civilization was far greater in some ways than ours is today, both scientifically (different kind of science), and maybe in population, as well.

The term "Atlantis" may certainly have its base in a single "place." But there is a good chance that the word "Atlantis" was a term devised to encompass the whole worldwide trade organization of the distant past.

truely a loner island.
