And it seems that much of the claims of having solved the second most famous riddle coming out of ancient Greece
Although there are many charges against your claim, I will only argue one of them, the one quoted above.
Since we know, as fact, that volcanoes are rather large things, we can safely say that the volcano's "base" is just about always, much larger than having a diameter of well over 12 miles.
This very fact will, necessarily, make most of the Maltese land above water, or even below, of a volcanic nature.
This is what a volcanic land looks like and the kind of geological composition. http://www.photovolcanica.com/VolcanoInfo/Santorini/Santorini.html
Although I'm not one of those that cheers for a Santorini Atlantis, still, regarding the three colored rocks of black, red, and white, these are there, as also the assumption that the earthquake that inundated/submerged the "continent" island, or parts of it, was due to a possible volcanic phenomenon, such as a very powerful and devastating eruption.
For the record, I respect any and all theoretical takes on Atlantis, including yours Nikas. We all have to stand on hollowed ground before we can say that any claims of Atlantis, no matter how far-fetched, even Edgar Cayce's Atlantis, is total nonsense. Hollowed ground being the Atlantis of Plato, it is intended!
Edgar Cayce was a charlatan; I am a serious researcher, a scientist. I read the story in ancient Greek, which gives me the upper hand over almost everybody else. You can’t judge my work bc you can’t read ancient Greek. What you have read in English, which was translated from Spanish or German, which in turn was translated from Latin … which was translated from ancient Greek, in a span of over a thousand years, was nothing more than garbage.
Nikas, these next questions to you are coming from me, and not the devil. Just how did the Altanteans get the circles of water to stay there, since they were on a 15-20% slope? And how did they get their trireme ships to sail up the 20% incline?

[/quote]What I have found is anything but fabulous. To the so called ‘atlantologist’ is going to be a disappointment, to historians/archaeologists, goldmine. As for what Plato had in mind how would you know? Did he tell you? It’s a dialog and Plato is not part of it. So to claim that you know what he was thinking is just a guess. Actually, I don’t even care, bc he is not the one that wrote the story, Solon did. Plato just inherited it through his family. [color=red]An archeologist's "goldmine" you say? You must have found all that Atlantean gold, silver, and oralchicum! Why now Malta and you will be the richest Country and individual in the world! And you don't call this fabulous? And regarding Plato's mind, he did not only tell me, but Plato told everyone reading his texts the same thing, once one understands him.[/color] [color=red]And as far as Solon writing the story, and Plato inheriting it, I will use your style, and ask you in turn, did Solon or Plato tell you this very interesting detail? Perhaps you have actually seen Solon's written last will and testament, besides the sunken city?[/color][code]And it seems that much of the claims of having solved the second most famous riddle coming out of ancient Greece
