ATLANTIS THE MYTH of the LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS
ATLANTIS THE MYTH of the LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS The people of Crete claim that the Lost City of Atlantis is Crete or could Atlantis be Cadiz Spain? When the Greek island of Minoan Santorini erupted it sent out a huge tidal wave which hit the north coast of Crete, many Cretans believe that the lost Minoan civilisation was in fact the Atlantians. There are artifacts of this era still under the sea, especially in the bay of Elounda. Elounda is on the north coast of Crete. Volcanic ash fell on the north coast of Crete from the massage explosion on Santorini, hiding any further finds from the fabled lost city of Atlantis. It is prohibited to dive the bay of Elounda, which is a shame because artifacts are down there! Perhaps artifacts from the lost city of Atlantis? or perhaps just the remnants of the volcanic eruption and collapse of the centre of Santorini, the Greek island changed forever and redrew the north coast of Crete - were the Minoans the lost civilisation of Atlantis? scroll down!

Atlantis and the people's of the Lost City of Atlantis are thought to have believed in a universal energy, taught to the people's by the teachers and priests as the Light of Atlantis. It is believed, by many people, there was a crystal dome healing temple within the city. The Light of the City of Atlantis may well have been used as great natural healing powers. When Atlantis sunk far below the rising waters, it is belileved that the DNA from another dimension, written in a code, sunk with the city. Alas, there are many claims of where the original city of Atlantis stood, perhaps, we may consider that it was located in all the places of belief. Perhaps the people's of Atlantis really did have a portal to visit many distant places in an instant. A technology lost in time.

The Lost City of Atlantis, in the Atlantic ocean?
Recent deep sea surveys by the United States Government show here a reconstruction of the Lost City of Atlantis. The continent is clearly between America and Europe! The submerged Dolphin ridge is evidently a vestige of the lost Atlantean Continent, the lost city of Atlantis. According to Plato's story there were three rings of canals and two zones of land, cut by four rivers. From this island continent destroyed approximately 20,000 years ago, came all civilisation. Egypt is supposed to have been settled by a colony of Atlanteans as were central and south America.
Lost City of Atlantis Cadiz Spain - Found in Cadiz Spain in 2004?
The lost city of Atlantis Cadiz Spain could lie in a region off Spain's southern coast, this research was reported by the archaeology journal Antiquity. Archaeologists have not yet commented on this finding and its based solely on satellite images that show ancient ruins matching descriptions made by the Greek scholar Plato. It shows two rectangular buildings hidden in a muddy region known as Marisma de Hinojos near the port of Cadiz. Apparently descriptions of Atlantis Cadiz Spain as an island refer to this part of Spain that was destroyed by a flood between 800 and 500 B.C.
The theory is supported by the presence of two rectangular features which match temple depictions in Plato's descriptions of Atlantis Cadiz Spain and the structures are clearly visible in satellite pictures. One feature, 230 meters (755 feet) long by 140 meters (460 feet) wide, could be a silver temple dedicated to the sea god Poseidon; the other, quadratic structure, measuring 280 meters (920 feet) by 240 meters (790 feet), could be a golden temple devoted to Cleito and Poseidon.
They are surrounded by concentric circles which agrees with Plato's description of temples surrounded by concentric circles of water and earth. Even the sizes are correct. According to Plato, the diameter of the largest circle was 27 stades, i.e. 5 kilometers. In the satellite photos, the diameter of the largest circle is between five and six kilometres. Atlantis Cadiz Spain has eluded scholars ever since Plato first mentioned it around 360 B.C.
The Greek scholar told of a city placed in front of the Pillars of Hercules, the Straits of Gibraltar, which flourished for more than 9,000 years. Reputedly destroyed by the gods when its people became prone to sin and corruption.
Legend has it the entire city was swallowed by the sea within a day and a night under the earthquake and subsequent tidal wave. For centuries scholars and explorers have searched for it. One recent theory equates Atlantis Cadiz Spain with Spartel Island, which sank to the bottom of the sea 11,000 years ago. The island, just to the west of the Strait of Gibraltar, lies only 120 kilometers (75 miles) from these rectangular structures. According to Plato, the Atlantean capital was placed about nine kilometers from the sea on the edge of a rectangular, smooth and even plain surrounded by mountains that reached to the sea. Apart from this, the country was very high and had a steep coastline.
Close to Cadiz is a rectangular, smooth and even plain which lies at a south coast. The mountains described by Plato would then be the Sierra Morena and Sierra Nevada. It has been noted that the war between Atlantis Cadiz Spain and the eastern Mediterranean countries described in Plato's writings strongly resembled that of mysterious raiders known as the Sea People around 1200 B.C. The Atlanteans and the Sea People would then be the same, according to the German scientist.
If the capital of Atlantis Cadiz Spain indeed existed near the mouth of the Guadalquivir, then we suggest that Plato's Atlantis Cadiz Spain tale is based upon an Egyptian report on the Sea Peoples and some Greek tradition on the Athens of that time.
The report on the Atlantean city and state may refer to a Spanish city, possibly identical with Tartessos, which was probably destroyed by Carthaginians during the sixth century B.C.
THE LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS
The Prince of Knossos fresco exists in the Palace of Knossos on Crete, as part of the large Processional wall painting painted around 1500 b.c. Surrounded by lilies and wearing an ornate headdress, the Prince leads a griffin or other strange animal on a rope. He is wearing the traditional Minoan short woven skirt , and is shown with bracelets, the wearing of jewelry being common in the Minoan frescoes. Minoans, both male and female, wore their hair long, usually with a waved or curled lock in front of the ear.
The unusual thing about the Prince fresco is his coloring. According to other Minoan frescoes, women were painted in a pale color, and men in a brownish red. Why then is this male prince with a pale skin tone? Some archaeologists have speculated that the fresco was reconstructed wrong by Sir Arthur Evans, while others maintain it is accurate and holds a mystery. The Minoans preferred profiles like the Egyptians with whom they traded. However, their art is much more fluid and natural than the stiff Egyptian portrayals, as evident in the shifting of weight in the Prince's legs, the curving musculature, and the strength and gracefulness with which he leans slightly back, his arm stretched out behind him.

Were the Minoans the people of Atlantis?
Many archaeologists believe so
The total destruction of Thera (the Greek island of Santorini), the heat blast and tidal waves which likely destroyed the great shipping industry on Crete; earthquakes, and the agricultural crisis caused by ash fallout, combined to put an end to the might Minoans, and in a short space of time, 50 years or less, the great Minoan civilization had already started to become a legend.
