National Geographic - Finding Atlantis - March 2011 - 3/4

[obyndjd503]

dig that mud! to prove it!

[muta157]

Every documentary I see that involves diving, always takes place with limited time, and difficult conditions based on time of day or year. Which begs the question. WHY THE FUCK DON"T YOU DIVE WHEN CONDITIONS ARE AT THERE BEST? They lost most of their credibility at that point. Oh and a couple of figurines, there went the rest of it.

[SweetCupcakeCutiePie]

Man!...I really think they might find Atlantis!! It's so intresting!

[MrLouKaas]

in the future they'll be like: San Diego is San Fransisco is London

[Holianaea]

OMFG JUST DIG THE DAMN THING ALREDY! U know how many people you have worrying about this goodness.....kick you in your throat bro...-.-

[jmanzano17]

For God's sake just dig it!

[alfallag1]

In coran this city is stated !!!

[BormisLongbeard]

Man i knew i dropped my figurines somewhere...

[dexOn22]

Everyone was made by God. Everything else was made in China. So as Atlantis! So go look for it somewhere near China! :)

[rkmugen]

@dexOn22 China?  Hmm... nah.. Taiwan.

[dexOn22]

they go to one place, not finishing the search, presents another place. dafuq? why not just go on with what you're currently showing?

[youmeandryan123]

Those figurines were 4000 years old? sitting out there for that long surely it would be just clay 10 metres under the ground?

[FuckGayrece]

National Geographic its should be National bullshit waist of fucking 1 hour

[temptationme09]

where is paul gasol

[Jjphilosophy]

FFS! Why not dig for it?

[Pooshooter5k]

How did it take ships 3 years to cross the Med?

[jackuy12345]

u know what guys? atlantis was in CHINA!

[TheSwordofrevenge]

theres alot of port citys that get destroyed because anything along the coast lines is exposed to tsunamis and such so they often will get destroyed and lost and forgotten in ancient times. this is why nat geo sucks.

[vc0417]

I thought Atlantis had nothing to do with Greece but now I am watching this show I understand that.

[Fred3500]

Atlantis could be under the bermuda triangle.... no one has been able to see whats down there

[Naayyllii]

@Fred3500 The oceans at the Bermuda Triangle are pretty rough. The planes and stuff that have disappeared were because no signal can be obtained whilst in that area. 

[Pooshooter5k]

@Fred3500 Says who? They find all sorts of things there.

[loveresievil4]

I believe Atlantis was Antartica, seeing as it moves position and has been iced over, after sinking.

[Unevaluated]

Atlantis was an Island, there's no getting around Plato's description. I stand with others in thinking he was describing Ireland, which fits the peramiters of the island perfectly

[feanariba]

In one of the most bold proposals I have encountered, Atlantis is to be found near Indonesia, in an area currently submerged but above sea levels 12,000 years ago!

[KpopAng]

but why dont they dig a lot of these places.

[natcaasi]

@KpopAng Funding for such expeditions and interference from local authorities ...

[MrGarnetski]

wow they found little clay figures that might some kid dropped while driving pass by...

[dkrustyklown]

A priori eliminations are not who scholarship works.

[dkrustyklown]

@dkrustyklown I mean a priori eliminations are not HOW scholarship works..

[pcd6music]

you know somethings under there...........just dig the darn thing up!

[onezt88]

fake

[KaylaAnimeLover1]

dumb ass's Tarsheish probably sunk along with atlantis ya know like if hawii sunk figi would too. Same sort of shit.

[colorx09]

as my teacher said to me and also to my research. . . their research was real. . . atlantis found at spain

[JayGladstone1]

it was called atlantis because it was in the atlantic ocean !!! god... thick as shit check my vid il show u where it is .....

[ReleasedHD]

the things that seems cool and awsome are always a mythe :( like: atlantis, lochness monster, alien's/ufo's

[adventurequest125]

well maybe its real

[berrywoke]

Well they do loose a lot of beliveability when they keep saying shit like in the bible or the bible says. If they had quoted the writeings the bible was stolen from it might seem a little less like chaseing faries!!

[dkrustyklown]

@berrywoke The Bible, like all ancient religious texts, is useful for archeological purposes. They may be filled with a lot of really hard to believe exaggerations and supernatural events, but those texts are also filled with reams of mundane details that the authors had no reason to falsify or invent.

[berrywoke]

@dkrustyklown The bible is pure plagerism. Archeological purposes?? I dont think so the archeoligists that I know would differ with you.

[dkrustyklown]

@berrywoke Of course large parts of the Bible are "plagiarized", although I prefer the term, "borrowed". Despite this, there is a lot of useful information in ALL ancient texts for the purposes of archeology. If the text of the Bible stated that Jerusalem is in Palestine, would you automatically discard the notion and assume that Jerusalem is somewhere else just because it came from the Bible? To do so is to lose all objectivity. You have to separate the truth from the fiction.

[dkrustyklown]

@berrywoke The question is, ¿can plagiarism contain factual truth? The answer is yes.

[berrywoke]

@dkrustyklown Sure the bible stories contain plenty of names of places that may have excisted but it dosnt make the bulk true. The facts in the bible are all things known outside of it and it is not needed for any archeological reasons what so ever. And on top of all that most of it is bunk anyway so like I said it is of no real interest.

[dkrustyklown]

@berrywoke I know of no legitimate scholar that holds your opinion. ALL ancient texts are useful for archeological purposes, even if they're only useful for the names of people and places.

[berrywoke]

@dkrustyklown LOL not the bible that is for sure. It is one of the most inacurate collection of bull and all the older documents that it was plagerized from are seen as some referance. But not the bible; maybe for some kind of retarted bible scholar but that of corse is irrelevant.

[dkrustyklown]

@berrywoke The competent archeologist separates the fiction from the truth.

[berrywoke]

@dkrustyklown Exacly that is why he would discard the bible from the getgo!!

[dkrustyklown]

@berrywoke Is everything you say a slogan or a sound byte? Even in the Bible there is truth within the fiction.

[berrywoke]

@dkrustyklown Truth behind the lie?? sounds like christian dogma now dosent it? Look anytime you use the bible or quote it you are only showing your stupidity your intellect is boreing me. I perfer my historical literature with out the lies and fairy dust....

[elphillo1]

Why does the thumbnail look like chuck testa?

[sushanalone]

why are they giving captions for the spanish guy when is speaking proper english.

[olg06]

u also forgot that new york is also called the Big Apple

[VinnyMonster1]

Plato also said that Atlantis was an island in the atlantic that made the atlantic passable, a city in southern spain doesn't make the atlantic passable.

[heindall04]

the figurines looked like newly carved, then for some reasons, becomes broken by someone. It was a very long time since the "atlantis" becomes lost, so all the things can be a fossil by now, even those figurines. Maybe it was dropped by someone who passed by the area.

[mandylana22]

y not just try top dig one part... and if u didnt see anything then stop.

[paulscape72]

...so they discover a couple of figurines and an old farm house and...its Atlantis!

[kipkopkopkop]

@paulscape72

Fuck you...

[stanley03061973]

I have proofOf after life or aliens.PLEASE BE AWARE FOR AWAKING IF YA GO TO ME SIGHT I HAVE PROOF FOR EARTH..I DONT HAVE TIME FOR TIME WASTERS .I hear theses entities.ENJOY WHAT YA WILL SEE .IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE 

[PrettyBoyCranking]

@stanley03061973 ur a fkn stalker or a serial killa. go fkn eat shiit dickhead

[MrMrfazle]

no part 2

[Andrew19ao]

@MrMrfazle I watched part 2.

[akesire]

I'll quote Plato: „...Atlantis...an island greater in extent than Libya and Asia...”

[STINAAightCrew]

@akesire At the time Plato wrote that, Asia and Africa were not discovered at the extent as we know them today, so it is still a plausible scenario.

[Veriathus]

The only way to find Atlantis is to follow the clues described by Plato. This team is right on the money. The site is close to the pillars of Hercules and so far the minimal evidence seems quite strongly related. Atlantis is an early bronze age civilization and no more advanced than any of the late bronze age Minoans or Troy. I believe Plato may have exaggerated their advancement in comparison to golden age of Greece.

[Bradt3hleader]

"Frantically searching?" oh my goodness! I had no idea this was a race against the clock, and no Atlantis by sundown meant the guillotine!

[RandomPonyProduction]

YEAH JUST POUR YOU FREAKING WATER BOTTLE ON PRICELESS ARTIFACTS! DAMN TAKE IT TO THE LAB TO GET PROPERLY CLEANED!

[elkidsays]

The other Portuguese flag is at 11:17

[elkidsays]

Why are we seeing the Portuguese flag at 6:29? I saw it in another spot, too. What were they doing there?

[melora72]

I thought it was supposed to be huge. Like a continent in the middle of the Atlantic. If they really was a city three days away it was not very close to land.

[PPiTTislakatamia]

no?

[mydoggylives]

Has anyone ever noticed that these archaeological dives ALWAYS have storms approaching, and ALWAYS have a "short window of opportunity"? It's like a must-have on any NOVA, Discovery, or National Geographic documentary with a dive.

[mrPersonahlity0003]

lol the NO with qeustion mark is annoying, because it makes the sentence look wrong because by no they mean is like yes or ok

[fbaddict12]

i hope somebody could find that atlantis so that it could end this damn argument about if it is true or not...! ( I really wish to be spongebob..so i could see atlantis itself! ahehehe..)

[TurkshFtr]

there is a city in turkey call tarsus

[erroneus0]

For native English speakers, it's fairly easy to understand English with an accent, but not always. Children and non-native English speakers often have trouble with accents, especially strong ones. And guess what? This is an educational documentary and the audience is vast. So get over your wanting to be offended. The subtitles are useful.

[denijane89]

@erroneus0 No, non-native English speakers usually find it much easier to understand other non-native English speakers. So what you say is simply wrong. For example, how would you explain that people on international conferences understand each other much better on their non-perfect English, than native speakers understand non-native speakers. It's all about training. And precisely because this is an educational documentary, they shouldn't spoil native-speakers like this. And it's offensive.

[dancingnancy09]

@denijane89 youre an idiot- youre the one whos wrong- theres nothing offensive about differences- some people cant understand eachothers accents simply because of differences- how ridiculous can one person be? to be offensive it has to be deliberate! theres nothing offensive about not being understand an accent- its the same as not being able to understand a language you dont know- you need a translation- i understand them perfectly too- but others may not- the producers are being considerate

[denijane89]

@dancingnancy09 Oh, let's see, I'm an idiot for training my ears to understand people's accents and you're not an idiot, because you don't want to bother with that and think it's natural not to be bothered with differences? Interesting. FYI, we live in a global world and people have accents and the native speakers will only benefit from making the effort to understand them. Because when the English speakers go to Spain, this is the English they will hear. And it's not that hard to understand it.

[denijane89]

Isn't it little bit offensive to put subtitles to the foreigners in the video?! Especially to the Spaniards. I understand them perfectly, without any effort. Which means they speak good enough English.

[VideoPhyle]

@denijane89 - I've always thought that too. Especially when the foreign-spoken English is SO clear.

[CSATexan]

@denijane89

It isn't really that offensive at all. Not everyone might be able to understand them.

I for one am not offended, and my mother was from El Puerto De Santa Maria, a few miles from where these guys are standing.

[SirRico70]

...hummmm, i smell fraud..national geo needs to come up with shocking stuff in order to keep its ratings.running into a thousand plus year old figurines like finding nickles in the street? in a national park...just come the f on!

[sugarhitman]

@SirRico70 Yeah, those figurine findings are very suspicious.

[supp96]

@SirRico70 haha maybe they looked like rocks to others haha it does seem a like a bit of BS

[AllanSanches]

Thats BS, we all know that to find Atlantis you've got to use the Scion, wich we all know its well guarded by Natla corporations, and only Lara Croft can accquire it back.

[ourDC888]

Thank you!

[fjdoreza]

it was the size of Libya and Asia combined, it consisted of at least ten kingdoms. Atlantis was the capital city and the name of the continent, these idiots are way off, they seem to ignore all the other descriptions by Plato by going backwards, find a place and make it fit...BS...

[Kizuishaskittle]

@fjdoreza why don't you go out and find it then genius?

[betokkikke]

@fjdoreza Some people pro Atantis as real and not a myth or legend invented by Plato have read his original writings in greek and latin in Critias and Timeus dialogs, stating that traslators (Chalcidio, IV century) could be wrong, for instance, they believe Plato real source meaning says Atlantis was an island of major/bigger size as Libya and Asia were in size or that Atlantis existed when Lybia and Asia were big/great... Still until scholars research can't prove anything it will remain a myth.

[dmoneyxd]

lol his name is fraud

[isurfvan]

damn this is crazy

[eaglerocks123]

Some cities were sometimes called by other names by travelers. The name atlantis could easily have been placed due to the cities close proximity to the Atantic coast. so the city Tarshish could have been nicknamed Atlantis. Like how Las Vegas is sometimes called Sin City. For example El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula. is the true name of Los Angeles also known as L.A or City of Angels

[SmilyFaceEquilibrium]

@eaglerocks123 Good point ! Very plausible ... Very likely :) . I too know its somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. Because the name Plato gave it kinda gives us clues to where it is.

[SmilyFaceEquilibrium]

@eaglerocks123 I didn 't even know Tarshish was a port city. LOL

[flubno]

@eaglerocks123 The Mexican native Americans had a word called Atlan witch means paradise lost. It was what the ancient native am. called Atlantis. They had an Atlantis myth too.

[dkrustyklown]

@flubno It's called Aztlán, and it's actually the four corners region of the United States. The Mexica, as they actually called themselves, believed that their ancestors left Aztlán at about 1064 AD, well into the medieval period for Europe and far past any time range for Atlantis.

[lugench]

Of course the Iberians nor the Phoenicians who both occupied the same area wouldn't have had Astarte statues. Come now Dr.Fraud do you think history is that gullible?

[Firesong2011]

But Velikovski cites Josephus, Herodotus, and other sources besides Chronicles to posit that Tarshish was really Knossos on the Island of Crete, not Atlantis.

[MyFriendLeonard1]

Atlantis = Tarshish. ... Wow! - Who knew?

[oatoatclup]

Atlantis
