>Hm yes you see this map from 1500 has an island where there isn't one now
>Therefore Atlantis

It's ridiculous that he can't comprehend the idea of phantom islands like Hy-Brasil, and the fact that Atlantis was supposed to be just an allegory in the first place.

the true purpose of this man is to make retards more obnoxious

because that is all he amounts to. no reasonably intelligent person is going to fall for his bullshit, but people who listen to joe rogan most certainly will

>>17946935
I honestly never got how Atlantis was memed into being a thing, with other conspiracy theories at least you can see the retard logic of them

>>17946598 (OP)
well how else do you explain that they drew the island there then dipshit

>>17946598 (OP)
If they did prove the mid atlantic ridge in the area of the Azores was in fact once a continent above water, then you freaks would immediately start spamming this god forsaken board with we wuz kangs posts trying to claim it was inhabited by blacks.

Its bad enough you morons are trying to claim mesopotamia and egypt, you really have no shame and not even a modicum of historical awareness.

>>17946966
Because Plato supposedly got the story from Egyptian protests who claimed Atlantis existed 9000 years prior (basically 12000 years ago) which interestingly is around the time of the last ice age in which the massive icebergs melted, causing an actual great flood

Fools, everyone knows now that Atlantis was just inside the shoreline in northwest Africa. Basically just where the Greek account said it should be. There they had a natural tidal inland harbor city.

>>17946947
Based and this.

>>17947136
Plato got the story of how stone age Athenians, leading an alliance of other Greek stone age Greek cities, defeated Atlantis, from Egyptians? Wow, what are the odds. Wierd no other Athenians knew this...

>>17946598 (OP)
For me it's Mu.

>>17947173
I've heard theories about Plato getting a real story from the mystery cults that he was a member of, then wrapping it in a myth and then attributing it to an ancestor who met an Egyptian. I think there is something real in there but the whole thing cannot be taken at face value.

>I think there is something real in there
Well, yeah. It's the same basic truth that underlies the flood myth present in almost every civilization in the world.

When the Ice Age ended, melting ice caused a dramatic rise in sea levels, submerging everything for many miles inland of the coastlines everywhere in the world.

>>17947920
asia looks terrible
current maps are much more aesthetic

>>17947920
>Ice Age Sea Levels
not true at all

>>17946598 (OP)
He won, you lost.

>>17947920
That could be just as like a result of the fact that y'know, floods exist, happen everywhere, and are pretty scary

>>17947136
>from Egyptian protests
but not from the high protest.

>>17946598 (OP)
Proud of you op, you finally made it to the proper board

>>17947920
Do you know who doesn't have a Great Flood myth? The Egyptians
Do you know who lives in an area with predictable, yearly floods rather than the violent flash floods of most other river valleys? Yeah, Egypt

redpill me on the doggerland rumors

>>17950751
What's there to redpill? It was a lowland above sea level during the ice age, European hunter-gatherers roamed there, and may or may not have had some modicum of civilization/early settlements there that are now under water. You can insert any level of fictional wiped out ice age civilization here, from stone age huts to Vimana flying castles dropping nukes on nephilim demons.

Personally, I don't think purely oral tradition can preserve anything resembling reality for thousands of years, many hundreds of generations. Any story will get warped completely out of recognition within a couple centuries unless it has a written form to doublecheck against. That's why Gilgamesh is first, because they put it on thousands of cuneiform tablets to check against what the bard is saying at the feast.

>>17950751
There were people there, and a Tsunami probably wiped it out. However, if there was something even remotely like Atlantis (as in, monumental arcitecture or something) on the Dogger Bank we'd have found it. We found the Blinkerwall, after all.
