I wonder- is this for real(????) or just more of the same, old washing of the hog?

Or perhaps a little of both, and why have I not heard about it until now? Am I into the wrong arkie sights?

Philosophy was the highest level of knowledge you could obtain in ancient Greece - higher than math, physics, and even metaphysics.
One of the assignments philosophers had was to imagine and write about a Utopian culture.
Atlantis was simply Plato's doctorate if you will. He made it up.

I didn't realize question begging was such an integral part of the scientific method.
Frank Joseph has this to say about some language on some artifacts found by a Spanish oil expedition in the Azores:
quote:
I haven't seen what they found down there. It sounds like if it looks Greek, but isn't Greek, that might be that it's Etruscan. I'm not saying the site underwater is an Etruscan site. That's probably unlikely. The Etruscans did not build things that look like Teotihuacan, that's for sure! But the Etruscans, where did they get their written language? It's possible that what we're looking at in Etruscan is a variation of the Atlantean language. We don't know what the Atlantean written language looks like. But it appears to be the precursor, not just of Greek, but other written languages in other parts of the world.
So this guy hasn't even seen the language samples, yet it's likely that they are Etruscan variation of Atlantean, which is the precursor of Greek, etc
Your honor, the defense's case is clearly built on speculation. The prosecution rests.

I'm not an expert on this sort of thing, but I did notice the article cited an "expert" who had written a book called "Edgar Cayce and Atlantis". At that moment I stoped reading and decided it was all pure B.S.

This is a skeptics' site. I do not think that there will be many folks here who will take the bait of anything so questionable. There is absolutely no real evidence. Everything seems to be kept a mystery. And Atlantis? I do not suppose that rehashing Atlantis will bring any skeptics over to becoming true believers.

I am wondering if monoliths, or something that look like monoliths, have actually been found off the west Coast of Cuba at some 434 fathoms. I follow these things closely enough that I think I'd have heard about it before now. But maybe not.
I suspect that the whole thing is a 'fund raiser', monoliths or not.

I am a subscriber to and an avid reader of SCIENCE and NATURE (both of which cover important findings in all fields of science). I have other scientific journals and magazines. I have yet to hear of this miraculous find anywhere in the scientific literature.
I do not waste time with speculative thinking which is set in mystery. And on the subject of ATLANTIS (or anything similar to ATLANTIS), forget it.

Very good, ljbrs.
I agree.
Also look at other information, but always be wary of sources.
