    The weight of latest evident says that its possible a island/small location island in the Mediterranean, off Sicily.
    Possibly even Cyprus (http://discoveryofatlantis.com/).
    Don't suppose we will have ever 100% proof.

    nothing new there OP. England is most likely Atlantis. I doubt that people would differnetiate the two islands.

    Plato speculated that Atlantis was located beyond the Pillars of Hercules, which today we call the Straits of Gibraltar. Of course the Atlantic Ocean wouldn't have been known back then and that's about all we'll ever know for sure.

    Geologists? Wait, is this science or mythology?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭Sea Sharp


    The Atlantis legends probably come from the simple fact that sea levels rose after the ice age. So I'd say that Atlantis was based on a city/town that was located in what is now the Atlantic or Mediterranean sea.
    I can't see the location being above water (by today's standards.)

    Ancient Greeks were aware of the existence of Ireland and Britain during Platos lifetime.

    Undoubtedly and today we underestimate the levels of trade and travel that occurred in ancient times. I think you misinterpreted my initial post, the Atlantic Ocean as we know it today(name, size ect), was not known as or called the Atlantic Ocean during ancient times.

    It's only a misspelling, it should be
    The Atlantis Ocean. . .

    We should court this theory for the sake of tourism.
    Seriously can you imagine the boost.
    Come and visit ATLANTIS!!!!*

    There is no atlantis, it was just a literary device used by plato.
