The question remains, what will be needed to convince the world of the existence of Atlantis?What will serve to provide the best evidence for it? The reason for this poll, incidentally, is obvious:  to guide the Atlantis forums into a different direction than the ones we are currently engaged in. Let us stop chasing ghosts and begin a search for "actual" proof.

I take it this poll is a slam at the pseudo-science that inflects so much Atlantis research. Smiley

The others are, of course, helpful, but I see them moreorless as clues, leading to the actual archaeology.

That's a very good way of putting it, Adrian.  I'm not certain any of the three can ever offer actual proof.

Satellite images are cool, but, as Greg Little can tell you, they often look like one thing from above, something entirely different on the ocean floor!

This power came forth out of the Atlantic Ocean. But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of the sea.

That is a good point, Tom, will we ever find a place in the world that exactly matches Plato's archaeology? Certainly, no such place has ever been discovered on dry land.

"This power came forth out of the Atlantic Ocean, for in those days the Atlantic was navigable; and there was an island situated in front of the straits called the Pillars of Heracles; the island was larger than Libya and Asia put together..."

Dear................CHRONOS,



Both, well-known Logographer/Philosophers/ Ancient Historians,  ALLREADY  TOLD  US the Right Location of the Real Atlantis,

Herodotus (>> Mare Erytraeum Isle of Erithea etc.)&
Euhemerus ( Meropia (= 'Atlantis') is in Arabia Foelix.)

Selenus Gustav from Upsala not counted, who( in 1624 ) considdered Sweden to have been the' original' Atlantis
Like " GEORGEOS" + Maria are convinced that Spain(= Hesperia.) were the original-' Atlantis'
or THORWALD-FRANKE who adds Sicilly to the " origin"List.  ( Can'nt they read herodotus nor Euhemerus ? ? )

But somehow,  also our most distinguised readers like TOM  HERBERT  &  DESIREE, seem to be BLIND-FOLDED when reading this fact,
and keep searching in the " Atlantic".

ATALANTE
has summerized Herodotus Statement that the World-Sea and Mare Erytraeum are the Same.

OH, before I forget,
I want to check with you that the year 9.000 for 'Atlantis demise' is out
The majority of the 2005- Melos Conference agreed to this, do you concurr ? If not than Why not ? ?

Sincerely, "  BlueHue  Cry   Cry   Cry   dd &-June--2008

Something NEW to interpret that Atlantis was a real place. OR, with NO new evidence, Plato could have right and Atlantis never did exist.  Smiley

Dear .....................DARK,

SCORES of Atlantologists have written books full of " Evidence " about Atlantis location but did NOT find it !
MELOS & ATHENS Atlantis Conference handels 50 Referece Point on Atlantis Location, NOT finding it  I only THREE( and found it !

And than You say, " Sorry" I don't understand your THREE Thumnail- Rules to beter Locate ( the original-)Atlantis in ADEN.

If you must know:
PLATO only pinpointed ONE reference to Atlantis Location( So I am very-ASHAMED that I couldn't get it down to less than Three myself !)

PLATO: " Atlantis-Capital is opposite the ISLE in the Land of the HYPERBOREANS alongside which the" PILLARS" of Hercules are."
The Land of the Hyperboreans is -ofcourse-HADRAMAUT>> south- ARABY
and the isLand with the" Pillars " Alongside is the" ISLE of DANAKILL( today the AFAR- Triangle.

But for most " Atlantologists ( who read no Greek nor Latin,)this is TOO  DIFFICULT to UNDERSTAND "
so they simply say that they read my statement but were not knowledgeble enough to give a comment !

Sincerely, " Blue Hue " dd may-19----2009.

Dear BlueHoe.....
