Atlantis
I have read some fascinating stuff about the lost city of Atlantis.
And wondered what other people thought on the subject.
Thousand of years ago, it is believed that the gap between Gibralter, southern Spain, and the north coast of Africa was joint by land. This being the mouth of the Mediterranean sea. If this gap was closed by land, it is quite possible that there was no Mediterranean sea and that it was just a huge dry valley. In the valley, up the other end, south of which is now Greece and north of Egypt, was the incredible civilization of Atlantis. I have read that the dates of the supposed great flood that is written in the bible, coinside with the dissapearence of Atlantis, give or take a thousand years. Which in the grand scheme of things isn't much.
Suppose, the land between spain and Africa some how collapse, be it through earthquake or storm, and the Atlantic ocean spilled into the valley of the Med. It certainly would have washed away Atlantis with no sign of existence. And in that day and age, would have felt that the whole world was being flooded. Remember, nothing was known of the existence of America or Australia at the time.
I also think that it was a slow process, and that the ocean didn't ruch in unexpectideley. Maybe the citizens of Atlantis new it was coming and had a few days to evacuate. If you do some research into Atlantis, you may find, as I did, that many cultures all over the world have stories of distant ancestors which came from a magical place, all with a similar name. Atla, Amus, Alanas. Weird ha. Look into it, I'm not fibbing.
I also think, that if Atlantis was situated in that particular area of what is now the Med, it would have been just north of Egypt. I think that the ancient Egyptians could well have started from people of Atlantis. That is how they had supreme technology, for that time, to build the Pyramids.
What do you think?
