Title: Atlantis?
Post by: Libertas on March 13, 2011, 12:31:17 PM

Andalusia, 60 miles north of Cadiz...

Lost city of Atlantis, swamped by tsunami, may be found (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/us_tsunami_atlantis;_ylt=A0wNdNhWv3tN6QwBk1ms0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTNuMmMxaGQ2BGFzc2V0A25tLzIwMTEwMzEyL3VzX3RzdW5hbWlfYXRsYW50aXMEY2NvZGUDbW9zdHBvcHVsYXIEY3BvcwM4BHBvcwM1BHB0A2hvbWVfY29rZQRzZWMDeW5faGVhZGxpbmVfbGlzdARzbGsDbG9zdGNpdHlvZmF0)

Hope you don't mind Libertas - I renamed the link because the original was so long it was forcing a horizontal scroll-bar.

I don't get that channel so I'll not be able know any more than I do now.

Nobody seems to be able to find anything conclusive anywhere, and it has to be somewhere near Gibraltar, I don't think Plato is dumb enough to confuse the straits with Santorini, Sardinia or Cyprus!  And if it was at least as advanced as the Greeks, there ought to be some structures left, even if under water.
