A team of independent researchers is claiming to have found Atlantis. The research centers around stone structures on Spain's Salmedina Island, off Chipiona in the Gulf of Cádiz, west of the Strait of Gibraltar… Fox News: link |

Seems like a firm possibility of a definite maybe… |

I'm never convinced by the claims of a "documentary" filmmaker.
"Stone structures" could be anything, with a host of potential natural sources and causes. Show me actual tool work, deliberate carvings, glyphs, etc., or a sustained pattern of wall-work which cannot be explained by geological processes. Otherwise, you're just pointing at boulders. |

Plato made it all up. Why can't people just accept that? From Wikipedia:
"Atlantis is a fictional island mentioned in Plato's works Timaeus and Critias as part of an allegory on the hubris of nations." Do we have "independent researchers" searching for Lilliput or Brobdingnag? I'm reminded of ecstatic "researchers" salivating over hexagonal structures at the bottom of the sea, off the coast of … Ireland?
"This is NOT a natural phenomenon! This has to be man made!"
Then I go to my favorite YouTube geologist Nick Zentner. He's showing off some basalt flows in Washington state. ("Washington is like Disneyland for geologists.")
Hexagonal layers with cracks.
Thing is, almost every liquid except water contracts when it cools. Lava is no exception. But it has to cool in a pattern. And a hex is the most efficient crystal. Honeycombs anyone? That's nothing but efficiency. Natural efficiency. I'm surprised that some Yahoo doesn't claim Atlantis isn't in Kensington Minnesota. Oh, wait. That's Vikings. Never mind. |
