The wave that destroyed AtlantisSubmitted by Waspie Dwarf: The legend of Atlantis, the country that disappeared under the sea, may be more than just a myth. Research on the Greek island of Crete suggests Europe's earliest civilisation was destroyed by a giant tsunami. Until about 3,500 years ago, a spectacular ancient civilisation was flourishing in the Eastern Mediterranean. The ancient Minoans were building palaces, paved streets and sewers, while most Europeans were still living in primitive huts. But around 1500BC the ...
Atlantis - theory and fantasyAnthony North: Did Atlantis exist, or was it merely a fantasy conjured up by Plato, and kept alive through wishful thinking over the centuries? If it did exist, where can we find it"s remains? We can ask other questions. For instance, just what WAS Atlantis? How did it disappear?

films, articles, web pages, and now a Disney cartoon. It has spawned a rich
populist sub-culture (much of it internet-based) which pits the passions and
imaginations of committed 'Atlanteans' against the orthodox analysis of the
scientific mainstream. Part of the contempora...
The Lost Continent Lemuria
© 2002 Mark R. Williams
THE LOST PACIFIC CONTINENT OF LEMURIA is a place that history has nearly
forgotten. Yet it survives in the mythology of Hindus and Australian aborigines,
Polynesians and Native Americans. Its place is likewise secure among occult
pioneers Madame Blavatsky and Edgar Cayce, as well as many New Age channelers
and mediums. But did Lemuria really exist? And if so, when and where was it
located? Given the amount of time elapsed - many centuries before the first...
Plato’s AtlantisAnthony North: One of the most written about mysteries is that of Atlantis. What does it mean? What is it? Where is it? What influence does it have on us? Does it exist in the first place? So many questions, so many ideas. For this essay I thought I"d go back to source and see if we can learn anything about its conception. And the beginning of the myth takes us back to that great philosopher, Plato, who first wrote about it. But can we find hints in Plato"s life and mind itself? Early life: Bein...

close attention to the issue of a supposedly once-existing civilization in
Antarctica. The hypothesis is confirmed by some medieval maps and research of
paleogeologists and glaciologists. In January of 1820, Lieutenant of Russian
Empire Fleet Mikhail Lazarev discovered a new continent. In the beginning of
20th century, a Russian encyclopaedia, while adducing the approximate square
milage of south pole contin...
