Not bad. The original series was better and McCabe was really irritating.

Real.

I used to think myth until they started finding all of these lost cities around the globe.

Somewhere off the coast of Africa probably.

Yeah it was real, but it wasn't the Richat structure.

Most likely a real place but NOT magical or supernatural (no “power crystals” or “Merpeople” swimming around).

The ancient city of Troy was once thought to be mythical until the physical remains were rediscovered in 1871.

Personally, I think the “Eye Of The Sahara” (aka Richat structure) as Atlantis theory is intriguing.

I believe Atlantis was real, but its technological level was early bronze age, not late space age.

There were almost certainly ancient coastal/island  cities that were lost to flooding or some other disaster that resulted in them falling into the sea.  

Whether there was one called "Atlantis" that ticks all the mythical boxes for that city?  I doubt it.

Skipper:
Quick, Marlene, describe the enemy terrain.

Marlene:
It's kinda jungly. So that could be, let me think, what, South America? Africa? Asia? Maybe Australia?

Skipper:
You gotta focus, Marlene! You just mentioned four of the eight continents.

Maurice:
Uh, there are only seven continents.

Skipper:
I count Atlantis. Trust me, lemur, if you had my security clearance, you would too.

The ancient flood stories are now believed to be based on the ice dam separating what is now the Black Sea from the Mediterranean giving way at the end of the last Ice Age.

antediluvian societies built what we can't explain..



our arrogance is the only thing saying nothing existed before "I"  3000 years ago in Iraq.


gobekli tepe they deny, yet their own theory of radilogy testing says 12000 years.
100's of cities in South and Central America being found thru lidar.
Caral-Supe over 5000 yrs old
cities discovered under water in India and the Med..

It's there. I'm not sure if the people that lived there used that name for the city though. I think that pre flood the oceans covered a lot less of the earth surface. I would guess that there are quite a few cities that are currently under the ocean.

Almost?  There are well-documented submerged ruins off the coasts of India and Japan.  Trawlers have pulled artefacts up from the north sea where Doggerland was.  It is completely certain that ancient cities were submerged.

I believe it was real. I also think way back in time there were some really other smart enclaves of humans.

Real, except the mind control, über-advanced crystal stuff.

Lost by fallible human stories, memories & time, like other civilizations.

Potentially real.......as previously mentioned, Troy was once a myth, and as time goes on I think we will find more ancient cities discovered that were once only stories.

I meant "more, large" cities.  But yeah.

Now how well any of those cities fit the bill for Alantis, idk.

I get it.  My training is in chemistry.

However, with human civilization/cultures and natural disasters of various planetary scale, like plagues, volcanoes & tsunamis, we will not know to provide data until it’s found, which may be never.  Examples include The Dead Sea Scrolls, Ötzi, The Rosetta Stone, etc.  or, penicillin or thiokol.

Assumptions Atlantis was über-advanced are pointless because we have never found any evidence that past human tech is more advanced than current human tech.

This.  It was a real place near the shore.  Now, it's past the shore.

I'm slightly leaning on it being an allegory.

On the other hand, I wouldn't be real surprised if we discover history of civilization is older than we currently think it is.

Some of the contemporaries of Plato held that view, but many others in his circle felt he was speaking on a real subject.

I wish I could find the book about him, but there were others who dug into the history and works of Solon and maintained that he spoke on the subject outside of what Plato wrote about.

I think it all originally comes from ancient Egyptian records. So I definitely can't say it's myth or a tale for sure. Lol.

It's crazy to think how old history really is when even in Plato's time.... Egypt was considered an old civilization.

Probably real in some form, definitely mythical in the handed down versions.

I believe mankind has risen to great heights and struck down due its hubris.  We approach that point again (gene editing, control of weather, nuclear and biological warfare on an apocalyptic scale).  

Like Einstein purportedly said, "World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

That part bugs me. Because it's like that experiment everybody does in school where at one end of the room someone passes down a message they whisper to the next person, and by the time it gets to the end of the classroom it's a bit different.

Seems to me that Atlantis is in some sense the Hellenistic version of Eden. There are parallels, e.g. mess with (or taking, eating, reaching for, etc.) the powers reserved to the gods / God and get sunk / evicted.

But Atlantis has been turned into a secular myth along with the rest of the Greek/Roman pantheon, so we see its story adopted a lot more directly into alternate version stories than the Garden of Eden. (Lara Croft notwithstanding of course.)
