The lost city of Atlantis ( Ἀτλαντίς )
1433 -1470 B.C. The great Atlantis continent was destroyed . A continent was the size of Europe. It boasted gorgeous cities, abounded fruit and agriculture, fish and farming, clear water and organized towns, advanced technology for that time, and Utopian government. It suffered a cataclysm , major earthquake with great tsunami , and the sea floor opened up and took the city down, and was reduced to rubble that sank beneath the sea, and lost forever.
The legend of Atlantis has been around for thousands of years, and whatever its factual validity may be, it does claim a noble heritage, for its earliest known proponent was Plato.
The Greek philosopher wrote of Atlantis in two of his dialogues, “Timaeus” and “Critias,” around 370 B.C. Plato said that this was a true story which derived from them and from a 200 year-old records of the Greek ruler Solon, who heard of Atlantis from an Egyptian priest.
Plato wrote that the continent lay in the Atlantic Ocean near the Straits of Gibraltar until its destruction 10,000 years before. In “Timaeus,” Plato described Atlantis as a prosperous nation out to expand its domain: “Now in this island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire which had rule over the whole island and several others, and over parts of the continent,” he wrote, “and, furthermore, the men of Atlantis had subjected the parts of Libya within the columns of Heracles as far as Egypt, and of Europe as far as Tyrrhenia.”
Remember that 10 to 12000 years ago the shape and location of the contenant is different than now , Africa was closer to South America. so the island that can connect Spain, Gibraltar, Africa and south america to the north Atlantic areas was the most important strategic island ever to connect the world and buy , sale and trade goods and let human migrations move with ease after they pay and trade.
Plato then tells how the Atlanteans made a mistake by attacking Greece. They could not withstand the Greeks’ military might, and following their defeat, a natural disaster sealed their fate. “Timaeus” continues: “But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of the sea.” Plato tells a more metaphysical version of the Atlantis story in “Critias,” where he describes the lost continent as the kingdom of Poseidon, the god of the sea.

This Atlantis was a noble, sophisticated society that reigned in peace for centuries, until its people became complacent and greedy. Angered by their fall from grace, God chose to punish them by destroying Atlantis. Although Plato was the first to use the term “Atlantis,” there are antecedents to the legend.
In an Egyptian legend which Solon probably heard while traveling in Egypt, and which was passed down to Plato years later, the island nation of Keftiu, home of one of the four pillars that held up the sky, was said to be a glorious advanced civilization which was destroyed and sank beneath the ocean.
Another Atlantis-like story is closer to Plato’s world, in terms of time and geography, and it is factual. The Minoan Civilization was a great and peaceful culture based on the island of Crete, which reigned as long ago as 2200 B.C. The Minoan island of Santorini, later known as Thera, was home to a huge volcano. In 1470 B.C., it erupted with a force estimated to be greater than Krakatoa, and it destroyed everything on Santorini’s surface.
The resulting earthquakes and tsunamis devastated the rest of the Minoan Civilization, whose remnants were easily conquered by Greek forces. Santorini may have been the “real” Atlantis. Some have argued against this idea, noting Plato specified that Atlantis sank 10,000 years ago, but the Minoan disaster had taken place only 1,000 years earlier. Still, it could be that translation errors over the centuries changed Plato’s original writing.
Alternatively, Plato may have blurred the historical facts to suit his purposes. Or, Atlantis may be purely Plato’s invention. Just the same, his story of the sunken continent has caught the imagination of succeeding generations. Other Greek thinkers, such as Aristotle and Pliny, disputed the existence of Atlantis, while Plutarch and Herodotus wrote of it as historical fact. Atlantis became entrenched in folklore all around the world, charted on ocean maps and sought by explorers. Including my self . I sent a map to the national geography to pin pint Atlantic in specific area front of the Peru Coastal area.
IF YOU LOG INTOWWW.EARTHQUAKES.TAFONI.NET
Then you go to map and click on Satellite image, You can do your search on the ocean areas as I did , I want you to go close to PERU LOOK WEST OF THE shore of Peru. 3000 km in the ocean floor you can see a large island sank in it , but this is in the pacific ocean now. I will write about this later. and also if you can look close to Florida , Bermuda island just north east of the island about 1000 km you can find another large sank island and this is in Atlantic ocean. You cant find any thing else in the north sea or uk, Ireland etc. All those countries are trying to fabricate a stories to get tourists. Also you can look close to Greece ,
Satellite image of the islands of Santorini, from the Minoan eruption event, and the 1964 discovery of Akrotiri on the island, this location is one of many sites purported to have been the location of Atlantis.
Ignatius Donnelly
In 1882, Ignatius Donnelly, a U.S. congressman from Minnesota, brought the legend into the American consciousness with his book, Atlantis: The Antediluvian World. In more recent years, the psychic Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) became the U.S.’s most prominent advocate of a factual Atlantis. Widely known as “The Sleeping Prophet,” Cayce claimed the ability to see the future and to communicate with long-dead spirits from the past. He identified hundreds of people — including himself — as reincarnated Atlanteans. LOL.
Cayce said that Atlantis had been situated near the Bermuda island of Bimini. He believed that Atlanteans possessed remarkable technologies, including supremely powerful “fire-crystals” which they harnessed for energy. A disaster in which the fire-crystals went out of control was responsible for Atlantis’s sinking, he said, in what sounds like a cautionary fable on the dangers of nuclear power. Remaining active beneath the ocean waves, damaged fire-crystals emit energy fields that disrupt ships and aircraft , which is how Cayce accounted for the Bermuda Triangle.
The description of Atlantis is that of a square with one side elongated and narrow with gates and large walls. and that fit the area between Africa and south america 10 t0 12 000 years ago as the elongated part of the island might been constructed to be close to the tow parts of the worlds, with smaller islands beside it acting as connectors and rest areas to travel from one side to another.
