Atlantis was a myth when the ancient Greeks wrote about it. If you research the myth you will discover that every few years someone discovers the 'true' Atlantis.
I think the story of Atlantis is in all probability an amalgam of 'great civilization' stories. Sort of: Story of City A has all the higher learning + Story of City B collapses into the sea + other stuff => City C, Atlantis.
So finding City A or B or Z, isn't finding Atlantis, but it could be finding some part of the root of the story.

Atlantis probably existed as a real place. The problem lies with the idiots who think that they were aliens from space or time travelers, or some type of advanced race.
They were a common ancient people similar to the early Greeks.

why would you call someone an idiot? Obviously if i'm asking a question about singed hair thankfully i wasn't seriously hurt when the bbq flames flared up. You should not be replying to questions if you're just trying to be a smartass. I hope you figure out your thoughtful question about Atlantis - oh, and i would suggest you brush up on your grammar.

Well, it is quite difficult to answer but all legends may have some truth hidden within. There is a race mention in that website (http://www.atlan.org/) Guanche, it describes a white race, blond, blue eyes...believe it or not... people from Guatemala call CANCHES to blonds and blue eyes people ....(we do not know exactly where this word originated from ) but it could be a word lost in translation... or pronunciation..in any case I find it interesting...

I think Atlantis was real. Plato wrote about it ca. 400 BC. Unfortunately no one is positive where it was.
