Atlantis is not a part of the Seven Wonders of the World but hopefully someday there will be
evidence to show that it did exist. Today, current artifacts and archeological theories support that
Atlantis existed as one of the great civilizations such as the Egyptians.
The story of this lost city has been around since 355 B.C. Plato wrote about this lost land in two
dialogues, Timaeus and Critias. Plato believed that this land was near the Straits of Gibraltar until its
destruction approximately 10,000 years prior.
Atlantis was explained to be in the shape of a bulls eye. Alternating rings of land separated by the
Atlantic.
The mystical land and its people supposedly came from early civilizations from the Greek Islands of
Crete or Santorini. Atlantis is believed by many to have existed, while others believe that Atlantis is
purely a legend - invented by the great Greek Philosopher Plato, who wrote about Atlantis in his
dialogs.
The metaphysical irony is that Metaphysicians informed some people that they had a previous life
from Atlantis. These lifetimes are often depicted as having wonderful peaceful existences,
invigorating representations of the vivid colorful ocean life, mystical country sides, harps played by
beautiful nymphs, and citizens wearing flowing lacy apparel. People who lived in Atlantis are often
seen as beautiful, having sculptured bodies and being highly creative. Other symbols and memory
pictures may include the use of crystals, spectacular vivid dolphins full of life, beautiful harmonious
music with harps, Parthenon buildings, flowing abundance of hearty wines, earthy foods such as
crab, cheese and other Mediterranean foods and gorgeous sceneries with deep blue oceans,
colorful backdrops and spectacular flowers. Could it be that there was an existence that appeared to
have qualities that resemble Heaven? Some believe that their past lives from Atlantis have carried
over into their future lives which have given them qualities of high creativity, intelligence and
appreciation of beauty.

The name Atlantis derives from Atlas, the
giant Greek God who is said to have
supported the sky. In Greek, Atlantis
means "Daughter of Atlas".
According to Plato, Atlantis was a Garden
of Eden with an abundance of precious
minerals and crystals more valuable than
gold. Plato describes Atlantis as a
dreamland of prodigious mountains,
fertile plains, rivers, marshes and lakes
with a thriving population and many
species of animals, including elephants.
Herbs, flowers, and fruit grew and thrived,
being used both as food and for medicinal
purposes. Plato describes the Atlanteans
constructing temples, palaces, harbours
and docks. They utilized the
giant Greek God who is said to have
supported the sky. In Greek, Atlantis
means "Daughter of Atlas".

Herbs, flowers, and fruit grew and thrived,
being used both as food and for medicinal
purposes. Plato describes the Atlanteans
constructing temples, palaces, harbours
and docks. They utilized the
natural white, black and red stone that were quarried from underneath
the center of the island. Some of their buildings were simple, while others were very elaborate,
coated and decorated with gold, brass, tin and the red orichalcium. They built a temple covered with
gold and silver pinnacles dedicated to Poseidon, the God of sea, earthquakes and horses..
The meadows, rivers and lakes provided enough food for everyone. Its existence is portrayed as a
thriving, lush society for all.
Plato, also wrote in his Critias, that he believed that this great continent was extremely advanced in
technology. Atlantis was located in the Atlantic Ocean and the continent had been destroyed and lost
by a rush of ocean covering the evidence to us to this day sinking the continent approximately the
size of Asia or about five to ten million square kilometers below the ocean. The reason that the
Atlantic Ocean was named the Atlantic Ocean is because of the Atlantean theory. Monoliths, similar
to the monoliths in Easter Island, supposedly are a surviving off-spring of the Atlantean culture.
Some archeologists believe that this culture survived onto Islands and lands such as Easter Island
and also migrated to other areas including Egypt. Plato believed that Atlantis had a great army,
consisting of approximately 1.2 million armed men with a large number of chariots and horses which
originated from Asia and became domesticated in Atlantis.

Research and writings about
Atlantis are numerous and too
many to list. Interestingly, K.T.
Frost, a theorist, presents the
idea that Atlantis may be to the
east rather than the west of the
Strait of Gibraltar. Frost also
believed that the destruction of
Atlantis came only 900 years
before the birth of Plato. Others
theorize that Atlantis was lost to
major earthquakes or other
earthy natural disasters. The
Island of Crete, a modern part of
Greece is seen to be the place

Island of Crete, a modern part of
Greece is seen to be the place
where the Atlantean culture existed and was a derivative of a sophisticated culture called the
Minoan Crete culture. The Minoan Crete culture may have became extinct like the dinosaurs.
Santorina north of Crete is also theorized to have had a disaster hit which may have destroyed the
Minoans. Other theories include that Atlantis was lost to a tsunami, caused by a volcano and
subsequently destroyed Crete.

Other explanations include a Hopi myth describing Atlantis being inflicted by greed, war and floods.
There are a number of clues to be found in Plato's story that make many people believe that the
destructive Minoan eruption on Santorini is the most likely candidate for being the historic fact
behind the story.
In 1968 an airline pilot sighted an emergent temple of great ancient times only a few miles away from
the predicted site. Since then there have been many more sightings and scuba divers have
discovered flights of steps cut into the steep sides of the continental shelf in the same area. Great
circular interrupted patterns of monolithic stones have been photographed on the ocean bottom.
Other discoveries beneath the ocean include pyramids, statues, arches and ancient stonewalls. Dr.
Manson Valentine is know to have first discovered and explored the "Bimini Road" a sunken wall, a
foundation lying at a depth of about six fathoms, east of North Bimini.

These discovered ruins lie within the area known
as "The Bermuda Triangle", the area between
Bermuda, Eastern Florida and east of Puerto Rico.
This is where many aircraft, large ships and small
boats have been known to disappear without
trace. Reported aspects of their disappearances
involve spinning compasses, instrument
malfunction, radio and radar blackout and
electronic drain.
One suggested explanation is that the Atlanteans
possessed laser power through gigantic crystals,
as was reported by Edgar Cayce through his
as "The Bermuda Triangle", the area between
Bermuda, Eastern Florida and east of Puerto Rico.

The theories of Atlantis range from the extreme to the sublime. Some people even believe that the
inhabitants of Atlantis may have been extraterrestrials and other researchers and laymen believe
that there is a remote possibility that Atlantis branched from an ancient society.
Past life regression may be a pseudoscience but how fun to imagine a past life from Atlantis!
