Ancient "Atlantis" Type Landscape Found
Not sure why the author chose to refer to Atlantis in this story, there isn't much to connect it to that topic, but it is interesting. Makes you wonder what else lies undiscovered..
Yahoo story (from LiveScience):
http://news.yahoo.com/lost-world-atl...170805677.html"Save your tears, my fetid friends, the dead have Wept enough!"

From the Tears of Blood GiTP Forums 2004-09: "20 million dead. Whatcha gonna do with 20 million dead? You can’t bury ‘em, no time or energy to dig the graves. You could chuck ‘em somewhere out of the way. Or you could burn ‘em. But, but what if those things angered someone, or put a bad curse on 'em? Maybe gettin’ rid of ‘em is better. Just a thought. Hey, you could help us!"

Re: Ancient "Atlantis" Type Landscape Found
To me, the most implausible thing about the search for Atlantis is the commonly-held notion that we were going to find a ruined city underwater in situ, like there was an entire island that collapsed into a sinkhole or something. The fact that somewhere in the world and sometime in history an island actually did sink by 2-3 km is stunning and cool.

Re: Ancient "Atlantis" Type Landscape Found
So the Atlantis reference is made because this strata really looks like it's still an aboveground landscape? Even though it's buried under kilometers of sediment and no one will ever see it?
I can understand the correlation, but the reference still smacks of sensationalism. At least if Atlantis is buried under kilometers of sediment I know we can find it...
Also, excellent point about the assumption that Atlantis would really still look like an aboveground landscape.Last edited by Asthix; 2011-07-10 at 09:10 PM.

Re: Ancient "Atlantis" Type Landscape Found
I know someone who believes in Atlantis, and no, he doesn't care at all that it was made up in one of Plato's dialogues. He hasn't been able to give any reasons for believing in Atlantis either, so I've come to the conclusion that it is a non rational belief for him and there's no point arguing about it. I wouldn't be surprised if the same was true for others.

Re: Ancient "Atlantis" Type Landscape Found
Well, I can definitely say this much; it certainly isn't Atlantis. That's just silly.
