In Search Of... Atlantis (Part 2 of 3) Nimoy

[infinus5]

plato may have been talking about one of the lost city states found outside the straits of Gibraltar. on the Spanish coast line that boarders the Atlantic, archeologists have found the remains of an advanced culture that was annihilated in a day by an ear quake and tsunami. the city found on the coast was once made up of three small islands inside a bay. no one knows what culture this was, but many believe it to be the city that was later given the name Atlantis after its loss.

[GoGojiraGo]

of course, Plato was speaking from hearsay about a catastrophic event that left few survivors and wiped out an empire, so he only repeated the tales that were altered as time went on. Still, it's funny to hear even Nimoy say that the site that has everything described as Atlantis can't be Atlantis because it's "in the wrong spot".

Thera was Atlantis. End of story.

Who didn't foresee the death of John Kennedy?

past 2 years ago is the hardest dreams i've ever got . i was travelling with unknown form/entity , we we're travelling in the mountains , hills , until we stop into this very clean place all i ever see is a big head statues . too many statues and different faces . and then i woke up after that . this is the first time i've seen this video and i was totally shock .

[deathc0rR3]

@334alexstone u must be a god of something...

[alaxyoung1]

AVOID YE THE TIM TAMS IN THE PINK PACKET,

LEST YE DIE, OBESE..

[Amorphustruth]

I love this show and Mr. Nimoy.....but what a load of bullocks. Americans would LIKE to believe that atlantis (or at least part of it) exists just off florida...idiots, their egos know no bounds.

Next, they'll be telling us that the atlantians were tall with blonde hair and blue eyes.

[Faraz70]

did ppl of atlanis have face book?

[madamkirk]

@Faraz70 they were far more advanced than that... they had YOUTUBE!

[Azotronia]

I still believe he was exaggerating. What kind of story would he have told if he said "HEY! Remember Santarini. Yeah! That small, yet advanced island that was destroyed by the volcano. Let me tell you about it!" No.... Lets exaggerate and talk about a GREAT AND MASSIVE NATION beyond civilization.

[mkucstars1]

Leanord Nemoy... live long and prosper.

[PrinceDarroux]

I and my family are Atlantic Islanders Wolf Clan Nation of Benjamin,Judah,Ishmael,Tiano Kalinago,Karifuna,Garifuna and etc.

[Mysterwright]

What if each continent were connecting ports like tentacles extending to one gigantic Pangean landmass?

[SDChargersForever]

Nimoy does have a great voice. Just imagine Gilbert Gottfried narrating this.

On second thought, don't.

[gregsobekofficial]

sophisticated pre-dated advanced societies. they also posseessed ground and air vehicles, paved roads etc.

[gnolti]

OK, what's the deal with the blocks? Is there any contemporary explanation? Or was Nimoy/Cayce right?

[CristinaFernandez]

The explanation for the Bimini Wall is that it's actually an example of "tessellated pavement." What happens is, when a portion of a beachrock is exposed and dried out it causes salt to crystallize unevenly. When crustal action shakes things up, the crystallized salt causes the sedimentary beachrock to break along the uneven joints at 90-degree angles. Because water flows in the joints more, it gives the tops a "loaf" shape.

(getting a masters in geology.) :-)

@CristinaFernandez

Then, why this shit is not so common?

[jodude5]

@CristinaFernandez

yeah but they found pillars down there too...

the salt coulndt have done the presice carving on them...

[fethoff]

@CristinaFernandez "The explanation for the Bimini Wall is that it's actually an example of "tessellated pavement." " is correct, and it dosnt happan in many places but i found on the texas cost line, a beach where its happening, but at a smaller scale and with compressed sand as to rock. and i always heard it as the bimini road, since it looks like a "road"

[knightsintodreams]

now why don't they show this on tv anymore?

such a neat show :D

[Tedericoe]

Wouldnt they be able to carbon date those astronomical gears?

[TJMonster51]

nope, You can't really carbon test metals as metals have carbon added to them when forged. Thus changing the carbon count. the best we do is determine what its made of and date it according to the current understanding of the evolution of metallurgy.

[Jackalman99]

According to Manley P. Leister, in the "Cat People Chronicles" Atlantic was a huge crestent shaped continent.

[a42579]

I think the Santorini evidence is the most compelling. I don't think it was anything supernatural, I think it was just a technologically advanced civilization that got wiped out by a volcano. It's a lot easier to stop technological progress than people think. As my mother once said, "you could certainly write about and tell others about a television or a car, but if your civilization was wiped out, could you build one?"

[sirbenzo9]

Ignatius Donnelly has a book titled

"Atlantis, The antediluvian World," it's a pretty good book.

[CristinaFernandez]

@sirbenzo9 Ignatius Donnelly was actually a really great man of his time, concerned with social reform and improving the lot of workers. He had some...uh...weird hobbies (the kooky Atlantis stuff), but that shouldn't take away from his status.

[OmanofGood]

Yeah no doubt Leonard Nimoy makes this show so memorable.

[AgaMbadi]

Does anybody else find it soothing to listen to Nimoy's narration? I feel like I'm being taken on a spiritual journey when I watch In Search Of. Great memories. Makes me feel like I'm watching a film in grade school. Takes me back in time. Very cool.

[RoydeNice]

I feel the same way.

[Efrasnel]

Almost hypnotising...

[dramatic35]

you should listen to him being interviewed--it has almost the same soothing effect on me as well.

[SaulMeyersz]

@AgaMbadi

i want him to narrate pornos

[CristinaFernandez]

@AgaMbadi Agreed! He was the right voice at the right time. This deep voice lent him gravitas and a natural creepiness.

[DavePerry2012]

@AgaMbadi My sister reminded me a while back that we both used to eagerly await watching each episode when it aired each week in the '70's, and we would always be depressed when ti was over. :-)

[214scifi]

GIVE US THE DVD BOX SET!!!

[kshields73]

Yeah, I'd drop the cash for that instantly.

[214scifi]

Yeah the only reason there probably isn't a box set is because of the same old shit...copyright...and who owns the rights to what...

[JorL5150]

graham hancock has a couple books that assert thatthe south pole is atlantis.

he's a nut, but sayin gits atlantis is convenient as you can't prove or disprove what is under the ice of the south pole.

[trueedge2097]

And there's some interesting things down there, too. I wouldn't stand on a limb and say for sure it's Atlantis, but it's definitely interesting.

[CristinaFernandez]

@JorL5150 Actually, like all of life's problems, this one can be solved with geology. Actually, Hancock's claims can be easily disproved. Each season brings a new layer of ice on top of the other that are clearly marked in core samples. We have seen several hundred thousand! There was never a point in the last 200,000 years that continent didn't have ice on it.

Don't get me started on the geophysical impossibility of his "pole slip" magic wand - the earth's crust is pretty well stuck on.

[Elhardt]

@CristinaFernandez From 5 months ago. The idea that there is a single snow fall per season in Antarctica leaving just a millimeter or two doesn't seem realistic. I saw some scientists in Antarctica digging in the snow showing sunlight coming through lighting up the layers, pointing out about 9 inches represented a year. They said it was 4000 feet deep at that place. Easy math of dividing 9 inches into 4000 feet gives about 5333 years.

[Elhardt]

@CristinaFernandez To add more. Hancock's claims can't easily be disproved. There are dead coral reefs found in the arctic circle. Coral can't grow there do to lack of sunlight and cold temps, so it must have moved into that position. Flash frozen mammoths, cultures around the world that mention the sun rising from a different direction, or how suddenly half the year became like a day and half like night (happens in the arctic). Maybe the crust didn't slip, but the whole planet toppled over.

[HarveyBirdmanTk421]

Ever since I played Indiana Jones and the fait of atlantis the myth always fascinated me.
