harold picked No, it's nothing more than a legend:
Even if you're just talking about just the references in Plato, and not all the legends and myths surrounding Atlantis generated since then, it seems pretty ridiculous. I mean, an aquatic superpower six thousand years before any trace of civilization? Six thousand years is longer than all of the actual history of human civilization! So we're looking at a period of time longer than all of civilization - from the development of agriculture to space travel - between the existence of the fabled Atlantean civilization and the beginnings of human agriculture! Unless they were intelligent ice people from another planet of whom all trace no longer exists because it melted, there's just no way.

Apparantly there are theories that Ireland could be Atlantis. I did a project on it a couple of years ago.

isabelle_905 picked Yes, it'll be discovered this century!:
No you guys have it all wrong... The tectonic plates of the Earth shifted and moved Atlantis to the South Pole (currently Antarctica) and buried it under tons of snow and ice. That's why it has yet to be "discovered". And it would be practically impossible to verify that until the tectonic plates of the Earth shift again. But then that would mean that another civilization would get buried under the snow and ice...

I believe it existed. Plato was right, I just know it. "In a single day and night of misfortune, the island of Atlantis sunk into the depths of the sea". That's what He said. I believe Atlantis is somewhere underwater, but it is nothing more then ruins now. :(

It's buried under the seas, destroyed by floods and fire, and we'll never find it.

Poseidon had a temper tantrum. Perhaps people were celebrating Ulysses or something, and he got mad at them, and sunk their civilization. Poseidon can really be a jerk sometimes, huh?

Either it's true, or Plato was a good liar. You choose.
