Atlantis. Uncovering the great Bimini hoax. It's not a natural formation folks!?

Question

Independent researcher Greg Little has conducted investigations into the alleged "Bimini Road-natural formation" theory, and concluded that those original assertions were completely incorrect. A summary of his pioneering work can be found here, along with an option to download the full report (see bottom). Turns out archaeologists and geologists have been wrong this entire time, and trying to convince everyone that it's just a natural formation, and people have believed it!

Answer 1

If it ever existed it's probably buried under centuries of silt on the bottom of the ocean.

Answer 2

Ok I am a true believer of Atlantis (:

and i have actually done a year or two now of research.

I do not think that what happened to it was true. I believe that the Atlantis demise came to be from natural causes, Swallowed by the sea And Earth. It could have had an eartquake, of which could have caused a tsunami, or one could have hit. Also considering it was said to be made of gold, and we have no traces, it was likely that the earth swallowing it could be lava, during a hurricane. The lava appearance would be black for the cooling of a tiny layer, but still moving, and the hurricane could also have been minor bands of a stronger storm, The world back then was not as it is now. It could have been a large tsunami, therfore, no traces would be left, and Plato's riddle like words answered. I am not saying this came from a highly intelliigent person, it came from my mind, this is my theory. Many site's I have visited talk about plate techtonics and whatnot, but my statement here is not solid in an book or site. Sorry.

Answer 3

It will never be found. If it existed, only outposts will be found.

Plato wrote about an ancient lost island called Atlantis.

He states that the account was translated from the Egyptian by Solon. He also states that Critias (Plato's close relative) had Solon's original translation in his possession. If the original manuscript actually existed, Plato likely has access to it.

Plato locates it in the Atlantis Ocean just outside the "Pillars of Herakles" (today the Straits of Gibraltar).

He says it was a central plain with Mountains on the West, North, and East. The central plain of Atlantis is described as being 2000 x 3000 Greek stades in size; which equals about 79,212 US square miles (roughly the size of South Dakota).

Nowhere does he call it a Continent.

Nor does he say it sank in a single day and night.

What he says is that in a single day and night, the Greek army was swallowed by the Earth. He then says that "in the same manner" Atlantis was "swallowed by the sea." But nowhere does he indicate the two events happened at the same time.

Every theory I've seen on Atlantis is either based upon Plato or relies on him for at least some support. This makes Plato's writing the only clear common ground, among all interested parties, in discussions about Atlantis. Plato is the foundation upon which most Atlantean theories are based.

Strangely though, many people who discuss Atlantis (both skeptics and true believers) have never actually read the original account; which is actually quite short.

The account is found in Plato's Timaeus and Critias dialogues. The actual Atlantean sections of any book with Timaeus and Critias, are reasonably short. For example, in the Penguin classic edition, the complete dialogue of Timaeus is about 100 pages long, but the Atlantean section is only 8 pages long. Critias is only 17 pages long.

Linguistically, Plato's writings on Atlantis are reasonably straight forward. In nearly all cases, the meaning of the original Greek is clear enough.

As far as I am concerned, people should be free to choose to accept what Plato wrote, or to reject it. However, what I do have a problem with, is when people take what Plato actually said and twist it into what they claim he "meant" in an effort to adjust Plato to support their theory about Atlantis. They often do this just so they can then say "Plato supports my theory."
