It had great mountain ranges, great plains and plenty of animals , like elephants & gardens filled with more splendor that anyone could imagine.”

Plato’s Philosophy continued

Plato put Atlantis in the ocean & then there was a conflict if it was real because of its location on the lost continent. There is no known person who anybody knew for sure who kept this story going but it states “Egyptians helped to preserve the story with their tablets and sacred achieves”. It also thought that Plato lied about the whole thing just to live up to his parables.

Although there are some conflicting reports as to where Atlantis could be or has been, most researchers have concluded that Atlantis was located in the Atlantic Ocean. It was so huge, it stretched from what is now the Gulf of Mexico through the Mediterranean Sea. According to Edgar Cayce, who stated, "In area it can be compared with what is now Europe and Russia. The north and south poles did not occupy their present positions, nor were the land surfaces now existent then above water.” Info from True Origins

The Second Theory of Atlantis

Over 11000 years ago in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean there was an island inhabited by great and wealthy people.

Then greed started to take over them and they were obsessed with money.

Poseidon, the god of water, got mad at them for being obsessed with money. So he made the ocean cover the city of Atlantis and it was gone with the sea.info from the book Unsolved Mysteries

Atlantis.

The Poseidon Theory

This Continent was covered many years ago by great destruction

Overwhelming waves and thunderous earthquakes sank this city underwater

There it stands

became an unsolved mystery and to this day people still wonder where it

The Minoans were the people who lived in the Atlantis Empire

After the continent collapsed, vanished and became a mystery

Just the Minoan Mystery itself is unsolved and surprisingly ties in with Atlantis

•Out of the remainder of the debris, it contained no written documents.

•There was art though. Many clay symbols and other designs were found also.

•Hand writing styles can be discerned from studying the Minoan tablets.

It is universally remembered as the explosion of the Mountain of Paradise (= Mt. Krakatoa, Atlas, Sinai, Zion, Alborj, Qaf, Golgotha, Meru, etc.)
