mr NIKIAS re-tell me why his MALTA as Atlantis CAPITAL is in the Mediterranean and not in the Atlantic ??
if Plato keeps talking about the Atlantic Isle Realm, than what does Atlantis metropolis in MALTA ?I must have missed that point@!
BlueHue, even though you’re kind of being harsh! you do have a point. It is a rather big assumption that when the Atlantean’s attacked Greece they came directly from Atlantis. Atlantis had conquered many of the lands within the straights before they went to war with Greece, so I guess that logically they could have staged an attack on Greece from one of these lands, As for Atlantis being anywhere other than the Atlantic ocean, all I have to say is this, it’s called the Atlantic ocean for a reason! ;)Wind
Yes Mr
WIND,I am unduely 'harsh 'against poor mr NIKAS,
because he ignores the Geographic names wandering after Plato's death.
and maybe I do respect the Other Theories less than they deserve,
but I always tend to explain, why they are 'faulty' ! for ancient cartograph's sake
because other theorists,
have written Beautifull shortpapers and treatises and Hypothese in impressive Abstracts
but NOT found the " Original " Atlantis just " NEW" ones.
I think the Atlantis Locations have proliferated because it was not an Isle in the Atlantic
Atlantis had not occupied Europe but to italy and Regio di Calabria
and the opposite city of SYRACUSE is said to have been Atlantis Capital
by the Theory of Thorwald FRANKE with the PILLARS at the STRAIT of Messina !
All atlantologists could see it but when occupied with GEOLOGY
they ignored that the Historical MAP of ATLANTIS in Morocco or FEZZAN is a Fake !
In ca. 250 bc Eratosthenes moved the Pillars to Gibraltar
The STRAIT aswell as the PILLARS were transported by
request of general HASDRUBAL who wanted the encroacing
Roman settlers to think that they were" Trespassing" on territory of Atlantis
and in Hasdrubals time the original Saga enphesized the Invinciblility of Atlantis
as was demonstrated in the Case of SAGUNTUM. when Rome was parallised for AWE !
Thus the Faking of the non-existing Herodotus Map of North West Africa
which actually featured Tribeal names belonging to Ethiopia and the RED- SEA-Coasts
was in fact a Carthagian/ WEST-Punicianexpansion propaganda !
Writers and Scholars on Atlantis ignored that Fake map transfer and fell for the tourist trap !
When I tell them about the Ethiopian Map overlay on West (N-W) Africa they are crosswith me !
I tell the historical truth but Truth is often too strange for seekers of atlantean fiction !

PS about my Research effort
You are too nice in your compliment
" JULIA " unwhittingly furnished the scientific Quotes to my blank theory
when the other forum members were lying aloof and GEORGEOS got debuked.
ATALANTE and RICH had detailed monologues about ancient Placenames
