i'm reading this book about the destruction of Atlantis, by Frank Joseph. quite literal and sophisticated research this guy did. he's got all the facts, so i'm expecting a proper conclusion on it.

 

[Dora]

so was Atlantis real? where does it lie? I only saw the Disney version...

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

you wouldnt want it to be real tho?

 

[Dora]

why not?! its sooo romantic!

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

no no, it would be like a twisted perception of a perspective of a reality fading into...err...what did you say the other day again?

 

[toolsofthetrade]

as the book mentions, the Atlantean population had a certain social attitude, providing cultural harmony and economic stabilty as well as the fact that the educational system never comprimised on anything at aim of expansion of knowledge.
then it got hit by a meteorite, and 99.9% of Atlantis was gone. so most of the 'evidential' research may be regarded as speculation.

A book that has left a good impression on me was Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451..oh an Aldous Huxley's Brave New World

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

yeah but where was it? i hope theyll find the remains of houses and statues and the gold and treasure like in the movie ... oh and that secret power source as well that can destroy the planet.

 

[Strangelight]

.1% of Atlantis? hahaha

 

[Dora]

if they had 1000 houses, then still 1 must be there..
