Was atlantis not based on the Minoan civilization, destroyed with the eruption of Thera?

Seeing as the only 'evidence' for Atlantis is in Plato's philosophical dialogues, you're in need of some hard evidence to go anywhere beyond speculation.

Said evidence has never been produced, because Atlantis was mentioned in philosophical dialogues for a reason that shouldn't be hard to figure out considering the topics of said dialogues.

I'm also still curious as to what you think is so special about the 'Bermuda Triangle'.

[HawkReborn]

I have read Plato's dialogues and other works by him.

My last comment was incorrect, because I was tired. I was thinking about when Atlantis existed, not the sea. In about 10,000 bc the ice from north america and europe was melting, which was slowly increasing sea levels. There was a devastating earthquake which swallowed the islands.

But most people don't believe how the earthquake started.

[TheFodderBoy]

Yeah, no. Perhaps you need to educate yourself. Perhaps you can start with some of Plato's dialogues, such as Critias. Then move onto the fact that Everest, the tallest mountain on Earth, is 29,029 feet above sea level.

If the sea level rose 50,000 feet, the entire world would have been covered in water. This is not possible; there's not enough water on the planet for that to happen. Not even close.

[HawkReborn]

that there's enough evidence that atlantis existed. there was a city there. When the ice in north america and europe melted, the sea levels rose over 50,000 feet which covered the city,

[TheFodderBoy]

Wow. What, exactly, do you think I would learn?

[HawkReborn]

@TheFodderBoy

wow, you really need to educate yourself.

read some documentaries on atlantis, or the bermuda triangle.
