Do you believe that Atlantis & Lemuria existed?

Personally,i'm not too certain about Lemuria,but Atlantis may have existed.

Maybe parts of it are sunken in the Atlantic Ocean.

What are your thoughts on the matter?

You forgot El Durado.

Atlantis is just a metaphor Plato pulled out of his ass.

Using cold war submarines with sonar so advanced that they can spot a soda can on the ocean floor from miles away, we have found hundreds, if not thousands of sunken cities off the coasts of nearly every coastal country in the world...superclocked

Come on,have faith.

Atlantas was just a symbol/metaphor/analogy used in Plato's Timaeus and Critias,

:lol:i haven't laughed so hard in a long,long time.:lol:

i hope to god you are joking though.

wasn't Atlantis basically the ancient civilization that existed on Crete?

Basically there was a civilization that existed prior to the current one, but it had been wiped out by like a massive tidal wave.

also never heard of Lemuria, but looking it, i wouldn't be surprised that much if they were talking about the Maldives, or perhaps an ancient version of it when the islands were substantially bigger or perhaps all connected instead of being an archepelgo.

not when Mexico City was originally the capitol of the Aztec empire Tenochtitlan.

Cortez took over the city, destroyed most of the buildings, and started rebuilding it as the now modern day Mexico City.

the quest for the city of El Dorado turned out to be the discovery of the Amazon river system and the tribes and peoples that lives along it. it's not actually story that's ever told because it doesn't deal with destroying an empire like Pizarro or Cortez. In this case it was hunting down the remains of the Incan leadership as they retreated into the rainforests, hoping to fight another day.

fvckin' love history man...

Not to mention el Dorado was in SOUTH AMERICA not mexico.

Atlantis lifted off. So 'exists' not 'existed'.

Atlantis does exist... it's in the Bahamas

They probably still exist. I think Atlantis was probably like Crete or something along those lines.
