Atlantis, Rise!

They all flushed their toilets at exactly the same time. Don’t believe me? Just you wait. One of these super bowl halftimes we’re gonna lose New York.
As for the atlantis claim, it’s worth a giggle, giggle and a half tops. If it’s true, it might bring an end to some of the nuttier speculation about the miraculous atlantean culture though.
hehe. Me too; sounds very much like “just like Nostradamus predicted!”.
The guy’s website has pictures of some of the scans, plus an animation of them. To my untrained eye, it all looks pretty unremarkable…
Hell to my somewhat trained eye it doesn’t look like anything. Looks just like something I could find in the west of the US. Almost looks like what we called a hogback.
Besides we all know Indiana Jones found Atlantis, I have the comics to prove it.
Could be anything…ship wreck, natural rock formations, other junk…or even ruins I suppose. They won’t know until they actually physically go and take a look, or at least send an RoV down there… Thats the fun part.
I’m a network engineer with a hobbie, as DtC puts it.

Those images look a lot like the ones taken on Mars from the orbiter. If this guy is right about Atlantis, so is Richard Hoagland about the pyramid cities on Mars.
I’m not at all commenting on this “finder’s” claims. I just want to point out that Plato didn’t say Atlantis was in the Atlantic Ocean. He said it was “beyond the pillars of Hercules” which is generally interpreted to mean the two sides of the Strait of Gibraltar, thus leading to a conclusion that it is out in the Atlantic. But while it is true that Gibraltar was referred to as such, there were other places that the Greeks referred to by that name as well. In fact, that’s one of the more compelling points of the “Minoan Crete” theory, that there is a “Pillars of Hercules” which points in that direction. The same might be true of this new guy’s site.
The final proof of just how advanced Atlantean technology was is this. In June this year, Atlantis was sited just off Southern Spain. A mere six months later, the entire civilisation has moved to the other end of the Mediterranean. We can only wonder at the marvels of these ancient peoples.
Given that it seems to pop up everywhere, I think Atlantis must have been the Starbucks of the ancient world. Definitely a franchise operation.
I lean towards the Minoan theory myself. It makes the most sense, IMO. It’s also boring which is why people don’t seem satisfied by it.
It’s interesting, but in no way indictive of a lost city or civilization. If that’s the best he’s got, I am unimpressed.
I had never made that connection before. Boy do I feel dumb. :o
Very funny. So on this basis, we can postulate the theory that Atlantis actually did float and that during a break in the bear baiting action, they all flushed their respective amphitheater pit toilets at the same time, thereby unbalancing their precarious floating isle, which then rapidly shipped water and sank sliding bow first into the muck of the stygian depths approximately 1500 meters below the surface of the otherwise lovely Mediteranean waves. That or they were struck down for using too many run-on sentences.

Yeah, like the one found just last June, in Spain, no less:
Maybe three – apparently just anyone can call themseves a “scientist” nowadays.
But wait! The Russians already found it in 1997, off Cornwall, England:
Blimey, Guv’nor! Why stop there? This nut thinks it is in Bolivia, I kid you not:
Maybe, on their way to Bolivia, they’ll pass by the team near Gibraltar:
Has anyone proposed Mars? That may be the only site left!
Personally, I think Atlantis is Ohio, because Atlantis doesn’t exist and niether does Ohio.
I have a question guys.
I remember in a history class from highschool my teacher explaining how it was once believed that the straight of Gibraltar was closed and the Med was dry. Could that be a possible explanation? There was also the belief that this may have occured in the Black Sea too.
Could this explain why it was 50 miles deep?
I have no clue about this point of information at all
But this guy reminds me of a particular type that doesn’t listen to criticism because he believes his idea is so amazing and revolutionary that his findings will somehow prevail
The whole dot-com era entrepreneurs seemed to have this too. Pets.com?
I’ve heard that too, but apparently the med was dry(er) perhaps 10,000 BC, long before a civlization such as Atlantis could have expected to have existed.
Man, will John Kerry be relieved when he gets that news!
