Why do the call it a continent if its so small?

Who will make it to Atlantis first? Lara Croft or Pitfall Harry?

aw, I guess that puts paid to the theories that it was Malta then

Although, yeah, who gives a fork either way?

Phil25 · 11-04-2003, 09:27 AM

The Malta Tourism Department?

I really hope they find something. There are many mysteries regarding Atlantis. Plato is a little wage in his description of it in some places. No wonder there are theories about them having great machines and computers and being aliens and all that. I sincerly hope they will at last find the actual location.

I'm not very familiar with the legend. Was it only Plato who originally talked about Atlantis or were there any other references to it?

If there were no other references then it is suspect that such a place could have existed.

Well, Plato said he had it from some merchants who had been there, so it was perhaps widely known in those times... Few people wrote things down in those days, though... Even Plato didn't, but one of his students...

Personally, I doubt it exsists, and Plato probably meant it as some kinda metaphor anyway.

That would explain why nobody can find it. It's been friggin' Americanized.
