Lost city of Atlantis, swamped by tsunami, may be found
- michaelty 16y agoI hope Captain Nemo's flag is still there.
- _delirium 16y agoInteresting if true, but worth keeping in mind that there are a lot of Atlantis hypotheses (even assuming it isn't a fictional or amalgamated story), and this one in particular has been a line of inquiry over the past decade or so without a lot of consensus as far as I can tell. Wikipedia has some links to previous proposals of this location: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Location_hypotheses_of_Atlantis#Andalusia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Location_hypotheses_of_Atlantis...
- Jupe 16y agoSome of the video of the Japanese tsunami made me immediately think of Atlantis. A person seeing such things 4000 years ago may well have described it as "swolled by the sea".
- KirinDave 16y agoHasn't it been demonstrated very thoroughly that Atlantis was a hypothetical city Plato & co. used in their dialogues, and was never meant to be considered as a physical place?
- mikeleeorg 16y agoI thought I read that once before too, but haven't been able to dig up the source. Do you recall where you heard this from?
- starpilot 16y agoUgh, not liking these shallow geewhiz articles of late.
- InclinedPlane 16y agoSo flag them.
- teilo 16y agoOr, more likely, "a" lost city. There are a lot of those, you know. Just because it's near the Straights of Gibraltar does not make it "Atlantis", tribute cities or no.
- adolph 16y agoThe dunes of the beach there are impressive: http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&q=Do%C3%B1a+Ana+Park+in+southern+Spain&oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF8&hl=en&t=h&sll=36.819729,-6.458588&sspn=0.419953,0.854874&rq=1&ev=p&split=1&filter=0&radius=28.38&hq=Do%C3%B1a+Ana+Park+in+southern+Spain&hnear=&ll=36.910372,-6.355591&spn=0.419455,0.854874&z=11 http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&q=Do%C3%B1a+An...
