    Default Atlantis? Yes? No?

    Ever since it came up , Google Earth was often used to point out some controversial locations or structures. <a href= "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW0On9A1fO8">This </a> is another one.

    Anything is possible, so who knows. I think Atlantis could have been real. Though I don't know a ton of history on it, other than it was a supposed city underwater.

    but who knows

    I think the possibility of Atlantis existing in some form or another, in the past, is very likely. However, I also think that the entire mythology and history of the supposed island has been extremely romanticized.

    I say yes if only for the reason that it's fun to think about.

    I actually really like the music.

    Well, I also think it's fun to think about.

    Maybe the Bermuda Triangle is actually Atlantis and the lights and other wierd stuff that happens when planes and ships cross could be eminating from the mystical energy source that Atlantis supposedly had invented. This is highly possible as Bermuda is directly west of where Altlantis should be. Maybe ancient sailers and geographers where incorrect.

    Every few years, some crackpot adventurer declares that he's almost certainly found Atlantis, Noah's Ark, or some other colossal mythical relic. We never hear any follow-up on these stories, though...

    As for Atlantis: Islands can, and do, sink due to volcanic eruption from time to time. It's entirely possible that this did indeed happen somewhere in the Mediterranean in millennia past, giving rise to the tales about Atlantis, and similar legends.

    The only real mention of Atlantis is one line in the journal of a greek philosopher. So we know nothing about it, yet conjecture seems to run very high.

    Even if it were real, so what? An island sank due to vulcanic activity, big deal. The roman civilization rose to great scientific heights, then fell into the dark ages. Just because an island had some decent architecture doesn't make it a big spectacle.

    I prefer Lemuria personally, but then I just have to be different.

    If you can provide definite evidence that Atlantis existed, I'll believe you. However, I don't want to take speculation as fact.

    I was going to say something about Lemuria because it's more interesting than Atlantis is.
