How did Atlantis get lost?

Answer 1

Well, you have Plato's Lost Civilization account/mythology, you have the ancient historians' accounts, you have the archaic maps, you have the sinking Atlantis in a single day and night of misfortune in tsunami waves account, you have Francis Bacon's New Atlantis, you have Edgar Cayce's account, you have the archaeologists recent South China Sea hypothesis, you have the ....... just to name a few! ... But does it really matter how or why it was lost, or if it even ever existed in the first place, as long as its essence is still alive INSIDE us? ... So next time you are at the beach and enjoying a refreshing glass of ouzo, don't forget to pour a little of it in the sea in honor of Atlantis. ...XOXOXOXOXO

Answer 2

it is Edgar Cayce who gives us prophesies of the first signs of corruption of the Atlantean civilization. The prophecy is as follows:
Turmoils arose with the mixing of those of pure lineage with those who had not completely thrown off the animal influences. Contempt, hatred, and bloodshed resulted. With this growth of disturbing factors - resulting from the magnification of desires without regard for the rights of others - an effort was made to draw the people back to the worship of one God, by establishing the first altars upon which were made the sacrifices of the field and forest. Rituals and ceremonies were instituted and the sacred fires set, as the shrine of the pure and the means of cleansing for all."
"After the first destruction, the altars were sometimes used for human sacrifice, by those turning more and more away from the original understanding of the Creative Force. Strife, rather than peace, became the common state, and the fact that great understanding of nature's forces had been attained made the destructions all the more terrible. From this time on, though material civilization rose to great heights, there was a growing unrest which brought about the many migrations both to the east and the west."
Some reports say that the Atlanteans were extremely war like and egocentric. They subjugated the ignorant natives of other lands and were at a constant war with the Rama Empire. Some say that was their tragic flaw, that a great war destroyed them. I'll discuss this in the next section.

The account that Plato gave states that Atlantis was destroyed in a single day and night by volcanic activity and tidal waves that followed the volcanic eruption. Now recent finding state the actual name of the Atlantians to be that of the Keptu [I may be miss spelling this name] (the Egyptian name for the people of Atlantis and posibly even what they called themselves), but for diffenitive proof that Archeolgical comunity will have to get over its phobia of the name Atlantis.
