• shall we all drink watery green beer to celebrate?
• That's a great theory, um, except that Ireland didn't sink into the ocean. I was there last last summer, so I'm positive.
• Do you think they'll change the shape of Atlantis to look like Ireland on this map?
• So much for Spain. Thanks for the link, SideDish!
• I was hoping for Antarctica
• So I'm a quarter Atlantean?
• There's an excerpt (PDF) from the book on the website.
• haha mr hat, I am 3/4 atlantean!! do I win a prize now??
• I wonder what language these ancient Irish Atlanteans spoke.
• I'm all Atlantean. Hey, that feels good!
• Somehow "Kiss me, I'm Atlantean" just doesn't have the same ring.
• *ponders cup of Atlantean coffee*
• Hell no! I will take you all to court if that's what it takes to keep my title of 1/8 atlantean/spaniard!!!
• Actually, if all the land where megaliths are found were part of this Atlantean civilization, then most people of Western and Northern European descent are Atlanteans. Woo!
• Atlanta was a city, landlocked, hundreds of miles from the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean. Yet so desperate the city's desire for tourism that moved offshore to become an island and a bigger Delta hub. Until the city overdeveloped and it started to sink. Knowing their fate the quality people ran away. Ted Turner, Hank Aaron, Jeff Foxworthy, the guy who invented Coca Cola, the magician and the other so called gods of our legends, though gods they were - and also Jane Fonda was there. The others chose to remain behind on their porches with their rifles, and one day evolve into mermaids, and sing and dance and ring in the new.
• The real name of the Sub-Mariner (from Marvel Comics) is Namor McKenzie. It all makes sense now.
• This "scientist" is an idiot -- Atlantis was a hypothetical place, in a fictional story Plato told. The fact that he cites Plato, without knowing that, makes him an even bigger idiot. Or a crack smoker.
• Information on Atlantis here. Seems Plato was not the only ancient to refer to it.
• More links here.
• >When Atlantean eyes are smiling... No, it's just not the same
• I wondered why I swam funny! I blame it on my great grandma.
• The megaflood that made Britain an island
• Mon père disait C`est le vent du nord Qu`a fait craquer la terre Entre Zeebruges Entre Zeebruges, petit C`est le vent du Nord Qu`a fait craquer la terre Entre Zeebruges et l`Angleterre Et Londres n`est plus Comme avant le déluge Le poing de Bruges Narguant la mer Londres n`est plus Que le faubourg de Bruges Perdu en mer Perdu en mer
• My father used to say that it's the North Wind that broke the Earth between Zeebruges, child. It's the North Wind that broke the Earth between Zeebruges and England. And London is no longer, as it was before the flood, the fist of Bruges, defying the sea. London is no longer anything more than a suburb of Bruges, lost to the sea.
• RalphTheMultiLinguist here, once again, providing, free of charge, the Babelfish translation for you unilanguagatards: My father said C`est the wind of Qu`a north makes crack the ground Between Zeebruges Between Zeebruges, small C`est the wind of Qu`a North makes crack the ground Between Zeebruges and l`Angleterre And London n`est more As before the flood the fist of Bruges Narguant the sea London n`est more Than the suburb of Bruges Perdu at sea Perdu at sea
• which pisses me off to no end, as I had my money on Perdue at University of Illinois.
• Well, their rowing crew's probably doing OK.
• 'Britain's Atlantis' found at bottom of North sea - a huge undersea world swallowed by the sea in 6500BC
• Searching for Doggerland: For decades North Sea boatmen have been dragging up traces of a vanished world in their nets. Now archaeologists are asking a timely question: What happens to people as their homeland disappears beneath a rising tide?
• Lost Lands Found by Scientists: Atlantis was a myth, but real-life lost lands do exist.
