Where is "The Lost City of Atlantis" talked about and described by plato?

Question

Is it now known as Maz-atlan. The facts all point to it being a possibility. The place Plato talked about would have been a Gulf port, the region was not in Europe but in the new world or near it and the mere fact that history tells us that the Spanish stole all the Aztec gold would point to them as being very wealthy in the mineral. Egyptians used the substance to cover items using the "Bagdad Battery" power source. Could these two ancient civilizations have communicated to eachother this technology of plating? With this the method could they have gold plated the Posiden statue talked about by Plato?. In the ancient books the Egyptians and Aztecs constantly battled. Plato took a story from 900 years before his time and wrote about it from an Egyptian battle with these beings who supposedly had high technology. It would make sense that Atlantis, which were described by the Egyptians and written by Plato, would be the Aztec nation known as the Maz-atlantians.

Answer 1

Since Donnelly's day, there have been dozens—perhaps hundreds—of locations proposed for Atlantis. Some are more or less serious attempts at legitimate scholarly or archaeological works; others have been made by psychic or other pseudoscientific means. Many of the proposed sites share some of the characteristics of the Atlantis story (water, catastrophic end, relevant time period), but none have been proven conclusively to be the historical Atlantis. Most of the historically proposed locations are in or near the Mediterranean Sea, either islands such as Sardinia, Crete and Santorini, Cyprus, Malta, and Ponza or as land based cities or states such as Troy, Tartessos or Tantalus (in the province of Manisa), Turkey, and the new theory of Israel-Sinai or Canaan as possible locations. The massive Thera eruption, dated either to the 17th or the 15th century BC, caused a massive tsunami that experts hypothesize devastated the Minoan civilization on the nearby island of Crete, further leading some to believe that this may have been the catastrophe which inspired the story.

Answer 2

There's a lot I would consider. Maybe the people of South America were the Atlanteans that Plato spoke of, and travelled to Egypt somehow- or vice versa? Maybe that's why the pyramids were in similar structure with one another? It'd be a mighty interesting thing. Maybe the Atlanteans were people from India- who travelled up and went through the Bering Strait, and to South America. Something to that affect. Nothing ever seems to fit the timelines that people travelled...on any account, I think Egypt has a lot to do with Atlantis, and South America might have a lot to do with it as well.

What about the Map of the Ancient Sea Kings? 11,000 BC or whatever?

Anyways, what's the relevance that Atlantis is even real? Maybe it really is a story and the world is surrounded with coincidences?

Answer 3

I'm curious to see your source for the "ancient books" where "Egyptians and Aztecs constantly battled" --I've read a lot of books on both Aztecs and Egyptians and never seen a single reference to them fighting.
I would love to believe that Atlantis was in the Americas but I also find it very interesting that no matter what theory you read about where Atlantis was, it's convincing. If you've ever actually READ what Plato said about Atlantis (it's not very much), there's not a lot to go on. Santerini is as good as any. As is Antarctica and the Yucatan peninsula.

Answer 5

No one really knows if it existed or where it was at.But it's doubtful he'd know anything about a culture that was thousands of miles across an ocean.
It would probably have been closer to home.Some think it was an island in the Mediterranean,perhaps even Crete.
But any talk about them having a civilization so advanced it rivaled current technology is fantasy from books published in the late 19th century.

Answer 6

Hello, I´m from germany, and today the scientist locate Atlantis nearby the great bahama banks.
But, nobody knows, if this is the right place.
But in the last years, archaeologics (right written?) find some old buildings underwater in this region. Maybe a hint?

Answer 7

If you check history, the island of Santorini. in the mediterranian sea, blew itself off the face of the earth with a volcanic eruption during the time period Plato refers to.

Answer 8

Plato was a drinker and talker.

Nowhere, dude. Nowhere.
