Scroll down to where it says :

Decimal Deg. Latitude:

Decimal Deg. Longitude:

For these type in:

Decimal Deg. Latitude: 33.0

Decimal Deg. Longitude: 33.0

Scroll out a bit, so you can see where it's at.

The number 33 is a very significant number. I remember once hearing that's one of the areas where Atlantis might be, but I don't recall ever hearing anything about latitude and longitude.

  1. I don't quite understand how 33 is a significant number, but I can tell you that "Atlantis" is actually a reference to the island of Thira, which is located in the Aegean Sea, east of Greece.  Thira was home to a Minoan colony thousands of years ago when it was destroyed by a volcano eruption. Most of the island is now gone, what is left of it is now known as the Santorini archipelago.

    An exerpt from Wikipedia:

    The island is the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions the planet has ever seen: the Minoan eruption (sometimes called the Thera eruption), which occurred some 3,600 years ago at the height of the Minoan civilization. The eruption left a large caldera surrounded by volcanic ash deposits hundreds of feet deep and may have led indirectly to the collapse of the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete, 110 km (70 miles) to the south, through the creation of a gigantic tsunami. Theory holds that the Thera eruption is the source of the legend of Atlantis.


  2. NO... i know atlantis doesn't exist because the movie was made with special effects... LOL

  3. wouldnt surprise me, theres some smaller islands a ways north of the location
