I'll have to watch it later and see what I think.
Pellegrino made a great case for Thera in [i]Unearthing Atlantis[/] so that's the standard I'm going to judge this by. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Plato claimed it was beyond the Pillars of Hercules, but didn’t say where it was…….. that’s a plausible theory, but I’d still think it is somewhere in the depths of the Atlantic There is a location in Spain that seemed pretty promising. It was outside of the Med near the coast. IIRC, there were indications of structures corresponding somewhat to the description along with a very large pool of methane which could have been produced by decomposition of buried organisms (presumably including people). I think the people who discovered the site were trying to raise money or get permits for excavation or something. Who knows how true their claims were or if they were ever able to get any kind of dig or further examination accomplished? Of course, Plato's account might well be meant to be treated more as a parable than as something literally true. |

True, but many thought Troy was a myth and legend until it was found…….. of course it was on land so it could be dug up……. Finding a sunken city might prove a tad more difficult, especially if it’s in the Atlantic somewhere…… Plato never really said whether the tale of Atlantis was an allegory, but some other sources from the time felt it was true…… it would be cool to find it |

I'm beginning to believe that something super fucky happened around 12k years ago. Check the striations and flood evidence this guy gives with the flood evidence given by Randall Carlson of the western US. Combine that with flood myths that live with every culture in every area of the globe.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The only problem I see with that theory: there are a considerable number of very ancient artifacts (hand axes, etc.) that have been dug up within the concentric rings. Many of those artifacts are in excess of 1 million years old, and date back to some of the earliest tool users that we know about. So if a huge flood washed through and wiped out the city 12,000 years ago, why would it leave behind only artifacts that are hundreds of thousands (or potentially a million plus) years old? One could argue that stone age tribesmen frequented the area _after_ the city was wiped out - but in that case, shouldn't those artifacts be newer? They could have been buried below the city and when the area was flooded the top layers of soil were eroded exposing the older artifacts below and washing any trace of the inhabitants out to sea or burying any evidence under hundreds of feet of sentiment. |

If I were to look, it would be in the area of the Gettysburg and Ormonde Seamounts.
They are in the right location outside the Strait of Gibraltar, and at less than 100 ft deep they could be fully exposed during an ice age when ocean levels drop. Strange that the charts of the area are very incomplete on https://usa.fishermap.org/depth-map/atlantic-ocean/ One would think it's proximity to Europe would make it heavily fished. |

I mainly enjoyed Atlantis due to it being part of the larger Stargate franchise, which I love, but it was by itself mediocre. Vegas, however, was excellent. Easily the best episode in the series. It also had a very different tone from just about anything else in the series. Darker and less campy. It also wasn't set up to be solved by a deus ex machina. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If that was Atlantis, it was clearly smacked by a meteor, look at it on google earth. Nope. Terrestrial formation, eroded geologic dome. Jimmy makes a compelling argument but of course all these videos suffer from researcher bias. You are only hearing what he has cherry picked to present to you as his “evidence”. HERE is a critical review of the video. I still think more research should be done regarding the Richat structure and I do believe it remains a viable candidate as the source of the Atlantis legend but it is far from proven. |

What are the chances that Atlantis was more than a single city, but a far reaching empire? I think it's really interesting that if someone brought up a world wide disaster resulting in massive flooding when I was a kid they would be laughed at, but now the whole Younger-Dryas thing is being seriously considered.

I don't get why more research has not been done there and having that research easily available. They present a compelling case and there should be a deeper dive into this info. The gatekeepers don't seem to want the narrative to change though. |
