Who were you over at AR Manutius?

My "Shoot the Homeless" line is serious not humourous and it requires that you think a little deeper.

Deeper than what?  It's a pretty direct statement.

Renaud, welcome to the forum.  Not to be picky or anything, but we normally ignore spelling mistakes around here.  Let me tell you, if people were banned for bad spelling, there wouldn't BE a forum!!  By the way - the is spelled t-h-e.

Actually- none of the theories put forward, can make all of Plato's story, fit.  Especially the time lines.  They don't fit, because it is just a story.  Nikas, if you could make all the pieces fit somehow, it would be a miracle.  You can't show that there were ships plying the waters of the Med 9000 years before Solon.  You can't prove there was any organized city or state that had the knowledge and cohesiveness to establish a trained army.  You can't prove that there were chariots in the proper time frame.  You can't say the decimal was misplaced and Atlantis had perished 900 years before Solon, because the Greeks didn't write in numerals, they spelled the numbers out as in - nine thousand.  And even if it perished 900 years before Solon, that is not so long in the past that others would have forgotten about such a powerful people.
