Re: Atlantis has been re-discovered by Th memeber
OHIO My Eloquent friend, you gave a nice explanation on why anyone would like to find Atlantis outside of the treasure. As a matter of fact this is exactly how I feel about Tayopa. Now that I am not worried about eating money, It can sit for a while until the Mexican gov't gives me the permits.
Until then, even if no-one else considers it as such, if you will forgive me, it is my ego factor. I have done what hundreds of others have failed doing for over 400 years, that is reward enough in one way. Of course I do want to see it opened for the data, maps, and artifacts that are stored in that room. Naturally I would love to fondle a gold bar or two but ----sigh. Atlantis would be the same.
No, historical treasure hunting is a vice in itself.

Don Jose' your proposed location holds a lot of promise, what about any other evidence to tie in with the location? Do you know of any kind of finds made in that region to suggest that it was once above sea level?

Since this was started on a whim in playing the Devils advocate in the Aztec thread, I orig. proposed it as the birth place of the Aztecs, AZTLAN, as a joke etc. However, in developing my hypothetical case, it suddenly became obvious that Plato's description and it were precisely the same, too much of a coincidence involved.
So I have investigated it more intensively, with the result that there is no doubt that it IS Atlantis. As for being above sea level only 10-12000 years ago, that remains for the professionals to determine. However, since It lies on the junction of 3 -major plates, it is obviously subject to violent movements, of which submergence is one, perhaps not to it's present depth in a day or two, but slowly over the centuries.
I am content that I have found the site of Atlantis, the proof remains for the future, but one can hope that out there someone is reading these posts and hopfully their curiosty has been sparked, .they may be in a position to organize an expedition
The seed has been is sowed for an intensive future investigation.

To "fit" with Plato, your location ought to also have a string of other islands (also probably submerged, I presume) that would serve as "stepping stones" to ships voyaging across the ancient Atlantic; in fact we ought to find a group of at least ten islands that are sizable; we can surmise that tiny islets would not have been large enough to support a fair population of people.

Agreed, as I once mentioned, Atlantis proper was the giant Caldera, however, the outlaying islands which formed the empire, continued to the south. - they are the Azores. Atlantis' configuration is in the form of a giant "Q" with the Azores forming the tail. see following post. ©@
Heck, this beats a crossword puzzle hands down hehehheh.
