No, yours is a feeble arguement - you refuse to provide any evidence to
back up your statements.

Funny, I was just about to say the same thing about you. Everything that I
have said is easily verifiable. Solon's description of the island that
atlantis lies upon gave VERY specific accounts of the size of the island,
and it's geography. It wouldn't take very much research to simply find
samples of egyptian text from the era around 2100-1200 BC, and compare the
egyptian symbols for tens and hundreds. Solon misunderstood the
measurements recorded by the Egyptian priests, and all his records were
thus ten times too big. According to Plato, the island was approximately
3000x2000 stades - if we reduce this figure to 300x200 stades, this
virtually matches the actual size of the island of Santorini : 34x23
miles. This can be verified your damn self, get an atlas.

No - point being *YOU* do not know where Atlantis is. You are making pure
conjecture based on your own ideas - whereas I have provided actual
evidence. If you would get off your ass and actually read the records left
behind by Plato instead of mindlessly accepting what you see on
television, then maybe we wouldn't be having this conversation. Do keep in
mind that anything you see on "Discovery" is meant for ENTERTAINMENT -
they're not out to prove a damn thing. Atlantis was a trading port for the
minoans. If you want further information, I can post the file I have in
it's entirity on this list (-- that is, if you don't mind, Jerry) --
or I can email it to you directly. Take your choice, fool.
