In Search Of... Atlantis (Part 1 of 3) Nimoy

[crinoid1919]

this show use to scare the hell out of me when I was a kid.

[Credithelper75]

I remember this show back in the 1970's. This was way before Ancient Aliens and the Sci-Fi channel. Great show for its time.

[CrimeKittehs]

I have evidence that traces my family's ancestry directly back down the line to Atlantis. We have artifacts from Atlantis that the government doesn't know about. I will inherit some of it.

[Hatred2Soul]

@CrimeKittehs Do you really? If you have artifacts from Atlantis and can prove that's where their from. Congratulations, you are the worlds richest person. Also i know the obvious answer, but it's worth a ask. If you have artifacts, can i see some of them? The only thing from it i've seen is this amulete which could or could not be from it, i don't know. But i'd really love to see something like that, if you could show me a couple of them.

[theceng]

how old are these series

[311Egar]

this was a great show

[ocossa]

You have a pretty cool channel here, looking forward to watching some of these documentaries.

[mpjgbx]

The theme music sounds like the end of  'Lucky Man' by ELP.

[IDOLO5]

"this series presents information based in part on theory and conjecture. The producer's purpose is to suggest some possible explanation - but necessarily the only one to the mysteries we are about to examine".

Why is this worth pointing out? Because TV programmes don't do this anymore, and they damn well should.

[lKuDDeR]

@xillasVEVO aha me too!

[xillasVEVO]

i typed in "search"

[4FunPlayin]

beh does anyone else pay attention to the video?

[4FunPlayin]

0:20 fuck you "unexplainable". Bullshit.

[Edubbplate]

Spock gives such logical voice-overs.

[Paul19807]

I remember watching this when I was about 7, and thinking, "They're about to uncover Atlantis? Why haven't I been hearing this on the news?!?!"

Why, indeed?

Great show though. I especially love the music.

[djfingersflores]

@Paul19807 the music is awesome!...

[deathc0rR3]

i rather believe in things like this

[Makinmoneytoday]

I loved these shows. Of course I don't believe in any of this silly stuff but it's interteresting none the less. Leonard Nimoy is awesome too.

[comedycritic100]

WOOOOOOOWW HE LOOKS LIKE AN OLD VERSION OF THE KID FOR THE MAD MAGAZINES!!!!

[fethoff]

i think thay have i found a boxset online Complete Series plus 2 pilot episodes in Broadcast order. Includes menus for easy episode access.

All 144 episodes plus 2 pilot episodes on 19 DVDs. Quality is 8 of 10.

[MultiStarkindustries]

I will never understand why they will not release these originals on DVD. They would make piles of money off of us 70's kids.

[setpunk12]

in search of rules!!

this show takes me back

[LukeSpencerGH]

Wish they would release these shows on DVD

[saidjoni]

awesome

[radioclash81]

This series is a classic--it's like the father of all the more recent shows dealing with this stuff--UFO Hunters, Ancient Aliens, Digging for the Truth, Deep Sea Detectives, etc.--there's definitely more going on than convention would have you believe.

[evilrotten]

To shoot and Kill one better be damn sure there is'nt anymore around,may act Violently if there is.

[evilrotten]

I use to watch this program then suddenly it disappeared off of TV.

[mistofoles]

Love those cheesey synth tones! Who composed the theme music?

[TravisConway1]

Leonard Nimoy was a great choice to host this show. I could not see Shatner trying this and not coming across as fake.

[JKAFinal]

this show had some scary ass music for a documentary

[CaptainNemoful]

★★★★★Endless★★★★★★★★★★Stars★★★­★★★★★★★To All your Video's★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ AND ALL OTHER Video's LIKE this One TOO. Thanks 4 Posting Them I really Appreciate Them!!! There Awesomeness!!!

[hotlanta35]

i used to watch this show in the late 70s and early 80s, the research done on this show raised the bar on all levels 

[66Ricas]

Rock on Spock

[cfrancisco74]

The opening music for this show isthe CREEPIEST SH*T!!!!!!

[karkovice10]

Leonard looks so different without his Mr. Spock costume! I'm so used to seeing him with those pointed ears. :)

[genredleader]

Ah! Nimoy Ahoy! I love the original In Search Of..! I used to watch this on A&E back when it was cool and aired reruns of David Letterman. :p The short lived newer version has nothing on this. :)

[TaurenBedtime]

I have been to Atlanta. It's on I-75. The technology does not seem advanced, outside of a giant building dedicated to Coca-Cola.

[NorthStar20121]

Big rocks are not art.

[Azotronia]

I need way more than 500 characters to write this response. Discoveries of Europeans visiting America WAY before Columbus? Cities being found that are WAY over 2000 yrs old?  What I was saying is the description of Santarini is identical to what Plato spoke of. He got the story from EGYPT, a nation that traded heavily with Santarini before the cataclysm. There were ANCIENT civilizations way before what many thought possible, but it doesnt mean these civilizations were Atlantis.

[ethankegley]

I remember seeing this video on PBS:) but it was made in 1976

[ethankegley]

I remember seeing this video on PBS:)

[Azotronia]

What is sad is Santorini is almost ALWAYS brought up in almost every show that talks about Atlantis. An island with great culture, wealth, and science that was DESTROYED by a natural disaster. Hmmmmm

Like many writers, Plato probably added so much to the story. Conquering MOST of Africa and Europe? I studied history and would love to know who the heck he was talking about. Alexander didnt conquer the known world yet. Rome was centuries off. Exaggerations of a story he got from Egypt.

[Elhardt]

@Azotronia You studied history? Problem is our history only goes back about 5000 years. Before that we know almost nothing. Plato may have embellished, but the idea that a land in the ocean that had sunk long ago is something that many cultures on each side of the Atlantic remember. For example, a tribe in Guinea Africa was seen painting their faces white and reenacting an ancient time when white men came down from the sky and from an island that no longer exists, to administer laws and justice.

[Azotronia]

@Elhardt Lately I have been not only studying history, but some "unusual" finds archeological finds. One find is of a city found in the Americas. The archeologist CLAIMS it to be 10,000 years old. HOW???? Other odd finds across the globe point to humanity having cities WAY before what conventional archeology may have thought. If you do a lot of reading you can find history that is just not really acknowledged. Contact between Europe and Asia centuries before we are taught in school. etc

[nehagatari]

Nimoy is the best ever! I didn't know that he did shows about this kind of stuff.

[JackMan11]

I agree with eqsheiky. Great stuff here. Wish to Chr*st they would release this on dvd or blu-ray.

[sonopop]

@ AgaMbadi,well said there!

[AgaMbadi]

They need to bring this show back right now, exactly as it was done here, Nimoy and all... to save us from reality t.v.

[Carbon657]

I tried to find Atlantis the other day, i couldnt see it anywhere. Its definately not where i looked, must be somewhere else.

[GoldenspartansS20]

The freakiest music ive ever heard starts at 2:11

[Jabarten]

Still remember watching this show back in the 70's while a kid. Brings back memories. Even more amazing is watching these episodes again 30 years later on my blackberry while on Clearwater Beach! Good grief....feel old....

[scottieman2]

So glad that this is on here. I miss this show so much.

[CDARRELLRYZ]

@CristinaFernandez. There's no basis in reality to what your are saying. Scientists are supposed to go by proof and proof only. Right? What proof do you have of the things that you are claiming. Any proof that comes your way, you throw it out the window. You said Casey was wrong in every way. That's an extraordinary claim about history, therefore the burden of proof is on you to explain why they're true!

[Demithehunter]

I never knew that Atlantis was written about by Plato. Did he never write about any other civilizations? Why is this one being focused on?

[Katsnjammer]

In search of....your underwear.... (does it make you wonder?)

[corwin11412]

I LOVE SPOCK!

[lijit77]

looks so old and sounds so old, my god... is this how our stuff is gonna sound in 30 years?

[PaulUmbarger]

@lijit77 Nah, ours will look much worse. Just think how ancient stuff from the late ninties already looks now. Better cameras, better special effects, yeah, it's going to look a lot older when it's thirty years old.

[BadDrafter]

@lijit77 yes

[CristinaFernandez]

The greatest thing about "In Search Of..." is the music. Buzzing, harrowing shrieks and synthesizers.

By the way, they're wrong about one thing: Tiahuanaco in Bolivia, seen at 1:00, is now believed to be a from 600 AD. The "before the pyramids" date is pretty ludicrous.

[uncoat]

what year is this from?

[kiminbushwick]

@uncoat 1977

[ericmartinbecerra]

Before Coast To Coast there was In Search Of.

[ferreirj123]

this was a good program long before the history channel

[silverpizza100]

you said it buddy!

[scottieman2]

Wish this was on DVD with behind the scenes and has specails of the mysteries they talk about.;

[Flerg3]

extraterrestrials have everything to do with humanities past

[scottieman2]

Love this show.

[piercedsquid]

@MrKydaman tell me more about this sarc-asm thing.

[MrKydaman]

u got a computer google it moron

[piercedsquid]

@MrKydaman Sorry. That was more sarcasm. I guess you don't recognize it when it's thrown back at you. So, that would make you the moron.

[MrKydaman]

I know what it was my previous comment was how I chose to respond .

[MrKydaman]

wtf thats Spock lol !

[piercedsquid]

@MrKydaman No, it's Leonard Nimoy. He actually wrote an autobiography titled "I Am Not Spock"

[MrKydaman]

it's called sarcasm get a clue noob

[ceflem72]

Ryan, you said it! The grain and the funky 70's music really adds to the creep factor. I miss these shows from my youth but it's so cool to see them on You Tube.

[ryanspeed]

I just love these old grainy reel to reel In Search of episodes! The music is also the icing on the cake given it's spooky and mysterious demeanor!

[gettinmonee]

cool stuff

[bobbleheadedbudgie]

@jarvik---I always say: "the more I learn, the more I realize how very little I actually know!" I once met a geologist who explained that if Atlantis existed it would be very difficult to locate it because of the shifting of tectonic plates. Some have predicted its location, but have yet to actually find it-the jury is still out as to whether or not it was real or just a myth.

[rhylovesjb]

drsdthdthtsr

[123demaio]

greatest show

[ImperatorDerGalaxis]

Atlantis begins to emerge from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean in these modern times in which we live. Edgar Cayce predicted that several decades ago.

[lugench]

I used to work at Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, VA and I met his entire family as well as a ton of believers. It wasn't too bad a job for a college student, but nothing they said or did impressed me much aside from their charity work. I'm convinced Cayce wasn't psychic but merely photographic memory of the books he saw in the bookstore he worked at near his kentucky home. Many of his predictions were wrong btw.

[wpaxton]

A consistant reading of all the material that can be objectively analyzed shows Cayce to have an accuracy of between 85 and 92 percent.

[lugench]

Most of Cayce's readings that aren't based about a person are so vague you can make them mean anything you want. The rest of his readings that are more personal can't be varified due to Privacy. So 85 to 92 percent is highly argueable. Those readings that might have some validity, the information was actually available during his time, either as theory or as fact. Edgar Cayce=conartist

[wpaxton]

I can recommend two books by investigators who spent many years researching the material of Cayce. Their in-depth analysis disagrees with your obviously biased opinion. calling someone a conartist when his readings resulted in financial ruin rather than lucre makes absolutely no sense. conartists wouldn't keep up a con if it's losing them money.

[CristinaFernandez]

@wpaxton I have no doubt in my mind that Edgar Cayce believed every word of his writing. Just like Wilhelm Reich did. The problem with Cayce, however, is that he was totally wrong in every way. I suppose you may not agree, but if you make extraordinary claims about history the burden of proof is on you to explain why they're true.

[PaulUmbarger]

@CristinaFernandez Anyone that makes as many predictions as Casey has to get something right sooner or later. The problem comes when someone just selectively pulls out the times that he got something correct and posts it as proof that he really could see the future and other stuff.

[kevinscholes]

i think atlantis was destryed in the worldwide flood which God sent

[jarvik2000]

HAHAHAHAHA, worldwide flood which God sent=? .....

Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science. Charles Darwin.

[knightsintodreams]

bitter much? :P calm down meanie~ goodness..

[periwinkleblue24]

FU hatemonger

[andrewjlb]

actually i think this is late 70s

[Rayrockny]

Gotta love these 80's documentys. Give a new meaning to cheesy production. But, still a good one.

[KingMafia949]

Get a New Narrator :)

[cinemastorm]

lol Nice.

[jbelloso69]

I love in search of! Makes you wonder!

[faridjabba]

is this "unsolved mysteries"series_?

[scottieman2]

No, it's called In Search Of. Different show. Unless they put it under that.

[piercedsquid]

This is much older than Unsolved Mysteris, and with a different host

[scottieman2]

Love both shows.

[bleekblock]

This show seems as ancient as Atlantis.

[weaselweasel]

Original broadcast: 22 May 1977

[gyufuli]

@bleekblock sure but it is pretty awesome

[PaulUmbarger]

@bleekblock It's hard to believe that this series came out in the late 70's early 80's, ain't it? I remember watching this series when I was like three or four and thinking that it was pretty old then. Still, a pretty good show. There isn't much like this on now a days.

[k12ishna]

@bleekblock lol

[gtvapsamtik]

@bleekblock LOL u bet

[TheUNEXPLAINED11]

@bleekblock

LOL

[barb7124]

@bleekblock It was the 1970's, lol

[bleekblock]

@barb7124 I know - I used to watch it when I was a little kid. I can smell the sent of polyester in the heat of the summer of 78 when I watch this.

[fuel1024]

I have the whole set on dvd

it's wonderful. the best show ever made.

[philosoweed]

I love the , "In Search Of " series . It was one of my favorite programs when I was kid.

[sixsixxsixxxx]

Preach it, Mr Spock!

[Snotra]

Spinal tap!

[jfmayer]

what year was this?

Nimoy looks between TOS and the motion picture

[whitemanism]

mid to late 70s i would think

[CreoleCommando]

Yeah I grew up watching this stuff in Trinidad as a kid loved every minute of it.

[thuraya]

Man thanks for posting. I loved this when i was liitle. This show single handedly got me into the unkown and mysteries of this universe. excellent stuff!!!

[MrAngelheart79]

spock

[jcfbell3001]

a great civilization...in the terminal stages....

of a slow but steady....

mentalmoralspritual decline...

[DaCoolGuy751]

Thanks for posting this video.

[Jackalman99]

Wow the Moon Man thingy that's on Rod Serling's "The 0uter Space Connection get a cameo on this movie too.

Serling thought the cat people came from Epsilon Bootes and built this stuff, now this guy claims Atlanteans built it.

[OzzmanX30]

Cat people....

[Jackalman99]

Ever read Leistersw "The Cat People Chronicles" or watch Rod Serling's "The 0uter Space Connection"? They postulate a race from Episilon Bootes called the Kutsatorians created us. The C'tarl C'tarl on a cartoon called Outlaw Star look almost exactly like the drawings in the book, so I think there's something to it.

[OzzmanX30]

maybe because the egyptions worshiped cats and made those huge statues of phhinx at giza n stuff so i dno there is so much new dont know

[Jackalman99]

After reading Manley P. Liester's tome I wounder if it's not one of those Jungarian archetype thingies. Aisha Clan-Clan was a Japanese cartoon character who looked exactly like Liester's Eve and Japan was supposed to be the Kutsatorians main base of opperation.

[a42579]

I like Nimoy and all of the paranormal kind of stuff, but I think it is better to point people to the resources that do exist when we know something relevant. I know this was made in the 70's, but I bet we knew more about Rapa Nui at that time.

[emielfvisser]

0:18

Read Aku-Aku by Thor Heyerdahl (1958, ISBN 0 14 00 1454 3), and you know how they were put into place.

Yes, the same Heyerdahl of the Kon Tiki expedition.

[Rocism01]

can anyone tell me the name of the song/music that starts at 4:38 please...???

i would appreciate it greatly

thank you very much

peace love and blessings

[formless777]

In Plato's time, what we call Africa referred only to what we now call Tunisia. Naming the continent after the province was a much later decision.

[formless777]

Wow, the dates for many of these finds is soooo misrepresented here. All structures in the Andes were made well after the Egyptians made theirs, and the chalk picture of Oliver Cromwell with a woody, known as the Cerne Abbas Giant, was made well after Stonehenge and is well documented.

[formless777]

The archaeology of Easter Island shows clearly that the statues were hand carved on the island and rocked into place using large ropes. Rocking things to and fro allows them to be "walked" the way a refrigerator can be walked into place if you lack a trolley to move it.

[HengistTheGreat]

We are led to believe that this took all the trees on the island. :(

[formless777]

Yes, trees are our friends, we destroy them at our peril.

[HengistTheGreat]

Or at the peril of erosion and not being able to build fishing boats, and the associated starvation, in this case.

[formless777]

That's pretty much why I said trees are our friends, the whole stopping starvation thing is a very friendly act, isn't it ?

[LiwamGeebon]

well they actually solved how they built the heads and moved them so....

[eqsheiky]

I was born in 1971 and remember watching this show as a child. I thought it was amazing then, and I still do. Those of us with a love for the fantastic 'if' in life need more of these types of shows.

[Azotronia]

@eqsheiky I was born in 1970 and my family always caught this show when they could. What I find funny is that my family also watched old Star Trek reruns. I thought it was so cool that Mr. Spock was the narrator of this show!

[feherfoto]

I FORGOT ABOUT THIS SHOW!!!! Wow, thanks!

[junglistni]

2nd best theme tune ever, 2nd only too "look around you"

[SurrealAspie]

I used to watch this show when I was 9 and 10 in the mid 70's. I loved the fact that there was so much more to life than most regular people subscribed to. This was good food indeed to a small Wanderer!!

[MithlondShip]

Man I remember that freaky music. I could listen to it over and over. I used to love this show

[TrueEventsOfHistory]

me too!,it was awsome!

[discouniverse]

In Lithuanian language ATLANTIDA means the flooded land (PATVANTIDA)

[effect802]

the natives put the heads there...way of showing territory, kind of like a picket fence if you will

[Milkymalk]

And they all described it differently... so no luck here.

Plato just used Atlantis as a metaphor, if you ever read his dialogues you would understand that.

[laubklein]

Noone knows who carved them. WRONG

Why they exist? WRONG!

Or who put them there? Wrong...

Not great research here on In Search of...

Maybe they like the name so much they got lazy. If they found it...they may have to call it answers and it would ten trillion times better....

[koetbock]

you really are ignorant aren't you? The show's like from the 70s , moron...

[laubklein]

So? The information was available then...they could have just done some research...

[lonewolf435]

they might of had a clue but its not fact

[laubklein]

How could those stupid Europeans have moved those bricks all into place to create the cathedrals and castles? I think that people from outer space may have helped them. After all, we aren't positive about those creations were made...do you understand my point??

[laubklein]

Have you answered my questions about Europeans? Have you read Collapse? It goes into detail about the rise and fall of Easter Island. There is clear evidence for what happened on the island...very clear evidence...

[AgaMbadi]

Thanks for the vid!!! I love In Search Of! I agree with evildavey1, this show bugged me out to! Leonard Nimoy has the power to convince you that insane things are possible. I wish he would do this show again!!! Let's start a petition.

[TheCanadianWanderer]

Keep in mind that just having spocks voice to the show adds credability to it :)

[666mooser666]

I used to watch this show everyday! I'd love to get then on dvd.

[evildavey1]

I can't tell you how I wound up finding this, but this freaks me out. My stomach dropped. I'm 34 and I DISTINCTLY remember being bugged out by this as a kid after dinner on Sundays. I loved Bigfoot.

[Startruth144]

lmao, Some reason this comment struck me with a good laugh :D I am 33 and have those exact same feelings about this show. It use to creep me out to no end, but I loved it as a kid!

[originalplastic]

thanks for this.

[kaminkonaigeshi]

Hmm i love this kind of show from what i know humans was very big in the past ive been to malaysia graves where people died around 300 years ago they show the remaining graves and yes it is big

[grrrstick]

Let's be clear... Atlantis never existed. Plato wrote stories. Atlantis does not appear in any other primary sources before Plato. Nothing in the Mediterranean or anywhere else even comes close to the description Plato gives. No serious scholar even comes close to believing in Atlantis. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar.

[AZIZTI]

Lol.

[Bowman247]

loL

[helenav]

are you God?!

[gnolti]

There are no written references to Jesus Christ except in the New Testament, either.

[grrrstick]

That's irrelevant. But, to humor you: We know that someone named Jesus of Nazareth was being written of, if not during his life, then certainly within a century of his death. Plato wrote about Atlantis, if you are right, several thousand years after it was destroyed. Then, what Plato wrote was more or less ignored until the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Nothing exists in ancient sources before Plato, and nothing exists afterward either, except obvious references to Plato's dialogues.

[frednichols]

jesus and atlantis are both fictional.

[fuzzzymaine2]

your life is fictional,research it if you dont bileve me!

[214scifi]

God I love this show! When will they put it out on dvd! Yes, Leonard Nimoy has the best voice ever!
