Explains why I can breathe underwater so.

Biggins · 04-09-2011 4:26pm

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.

charlemont · 04-09-2011 4:27pm

Well Patrick Duffy is a very Irish name.

Phill Ewinn · 04-09-2011 4:34pm

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

Son Of A Vidic · 04-09-2011 4:39pm

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.

Killer Pigeon · 04-09-2011 4:41pm

Geologists? Wait, is this science or mythology?

Sea Sharp · 04-09-2011 4:42pm

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.

I remember watching some UFO crap on the Science channel and there is meant to be a mythical island steeped in UFO and Atlantis myths just off our west coast called Hy Brasil.

It is actually the place Brazil got its name from, well, so the programmes said.

Never heard that one before!! Fascinating!

Actually more than like Atlantis was the island of Santorini, then called Thera in the Mediterranean Ocean about 100 KMs south of Greece. It was destoryed by an tidal wave and volcanic eruption. The description matches Atlantis. multicoloured bricked ruins, they worshipped the bull, they believed their civilization was founded by the giant Atlas.

Also the distance having it out in the Atlantic Ocean is believed to be a mistranslation of anicent Greek and the correct translation would have it in the location of Santorini.

So the Atlantis Isles became the British Isles?....:D

ruadhri44 · 21-04-2012 10:59pm

Carefull. Theres no such place as the British Isles. Its Ireland and Britain or The Western European Archipeligo.

I prefer the British Isles I am use to that one. That doesn't make me feel less Irish, but I wish it made me feel more British.

Yes, we are the most awesome country.

There was a programme on TG4 a while back, where a few Aran Islanders claimed they could see the HyBrasil island manifest on the horizon. I'm sure there's a scientific explanation (or they could have just been a bit batty) but its a fascinating myth nonetheless.

A lot of mirages would appear in the ocean and if the Islanders would have heard the legend, that would explain the mirage.

I just hope there is oil there and lots of it made from the decayed bodies of sunken Atlantis heads. OK a bit more time needed, but..

Balmed Out · 22-04-2012 12:13am

Pretty sure Brazil got its name from its early major export, a dye made from brazilwood.

ArtSmart · 22-04-2012 1:01am

Ireland Atlantis?

Well, it is a land of fiction and fable...

so yeah, i can see that.

ruadhri44 · 23-04-2012 6:21pm

At the risk of wandering off the subject the term was dropped by Britain in the 1970s.

beans · 23-04-2012 7:39pm

This chap reckons that all of civilization as we know it came from Irish origins, and throws Atlantis in the mix for good measure. We basically taught the Chinese how to make gunpowder, built the pyramids while back-packing in Egypt, and then let the Britons into our secrets of empire and subjugation, which was probably a bad idea...
