hey buddy I was watching a documentary in the discovery channel two days ago that talked about how they discovered the lost city of Atlantis (Helike).

It was AWESOME.

Have you seen the discovery site? Do you know anything about it?

No idea what location you´re actually talking about.

I´ll see if I can find anything related, but to be completely honest I never took the myth of Atlantis very seriously.

I personally tend to think that some theories/interpretations that believe that Plato just used the myth of Atlantis to encode a few tidbits of numerology/apokryphism and a astronomical map more believable than that.

It´s a bit too complicated to explain in a few lines what the theory contains, but it makes more sense than an ultra-advanced civilisation that´s supposed to have sunk a dozen of thousand years ago. Many of Plato´s writings are allegorical anyway...

***edit:

a tad OT, on an ancient mechanical device, that remains a riddle up to today:
