Atlantis
It would seem is only the most famous (maybe) lost civilization plato wrote about it not knowing of the hundreds of other cities that were destroyed by what anyone would have to say was a global catastrophe.
I find it amazing that the ties between the arcitecture of the ancient world seem to be overlooked Pyrimids are located world wide. Aztecs Egyptians Myans even the ancient temples found in Tialand all point to a common theme of building.
The flood is a story told in almost every culture if indeed the plates shifted would have resulted in a mega tsunamia (spell check that) that would have dwarfed the diasaster we see today. I wonder without the modern press and information we have how would you describe such an event.
I myself back to just atlantis find it interesting the connection between the decendants of Nimrod of the Bible and the city of Atlantis the Hungarians the Celts several postflood cultures have links.
The Hopi american indians say this
When they reached the fourth world, the islands sank into the ocean
We know that some time after the flood a king Named Nimrod
Built a city/Tower called Babel
By one of the Hungarian legends, the Hungarians were descendants of Magor, the son of Nimrod of the Hebrew Bible.
Together with his brother Hunor, patriarch of the Hun race, Magor set out on a hunting trip chasing an elusive white stag for many weeks. They eventually found themselves far from home, and decided to settle down where they were,
Greek
However, Magog(Magor) was supposed to have a grandchild called Heber, who spread throughout the mediterranean and Greeks called such Iberes mentioning that they were refugees from Atlantis who had come to settle the Caucasus.
CELTS
Gog is identified as the original country of the Magog people. Magog actually means "from Gog" and although certain Celtic peoples consider themselves to be descendants of Magog (see below) (Poseidonius, for example, mentions that the Cimmerians who are considered as the original ancestors of the Celts, derived from gug and guas), Gog itself is identified as "the country at the four corners of the world".
The deeper we dig the more we will find I myself believe that a very advanced culture and a very diferent looking world was destroyed only thru tales handed down from generation to generation do we have any knowledge of it.
