Lost Civilizations : Part II : Atlantis!

Everybody's heard of Atlantis! Yes, that's what this post is about.
As mythical as it sounds, as ridiculous as it's descriptions might be, try to keep up with me here.
Have you really wondered about Atlantis ever?





 Written Sources


                             According to Wikipedia, Atlantis was first mentioned by Plato in 360 BC. Yeah it is of fictional source but when you think of it, where did he get this idea from? He might actually really heard about a land and so wrote about it. Thankfully, we have reference to some of his works. Here's a mention about Atlantis in Timaeus : 
                                 For it is related in our records how once upon a time your State stayed the course of a mighty host, which, starting from a distant point in the Atlantic ocean, was insolently advancing to attack the whole of Europe, and Asia to boot. For the ocean there was at that time navigable; for in front of the mouth which you Greeks call, as you say, 'the pillars of Heracles,' there lay an island which was larger than Libya and Asia together; and it was possible for the travelers of that time to cross from it to the other islands, and from the islands to the whole of the continent over against them which encompasses that veritable ocean. For all that we have here, lying within the mouth of which we speak, is evidently a haven having a narrow entrance; but that yonder is a real ocean, and the land surrounding it may most rightly be called, in the fullest and truest sense, a continent. Now in this island of Atlantis there existed a confederation of kings, of great and marvelous power, which held sway over all the island, and over many other islands also and parts of the continent.

Another passage from Proclus' commentary on the Timaeus gives a description of Atlantis' geography :
That an island of such nature and size once existed is evident from what is said by certain authors who investigated the things around the outer sea. For according to them, there were seven islands in that sea in their time, sacred to Persephone, and also three others of enormous size, one of which was sacred to Hades, another to Ammon, and another one between them to Poseidon, the extent of which was a thousand stadia [200 km]; and the inhabitants of it—they add—preserved the remembrance from their ancestors of the immeasurably large island of Atlantis which had really existed there and which for many ages had reigned over all islands in the Atlantic sea and which itself had like-wise been sacred to Poseidon. Now these things Marcellus has written in his Aethiopica".
Several writers have speculated that Antarctica is the site of Atlantis, while others have proposed Caribbean locations such the alleged Cuban sunken city off the Guanahacabibes peninsula in Cuba, the Bahamas, and the Bermuda Triangle. Areas in the Pacific and Indian Oceans have also been proposed including Indonesia (i.e. Sundaland). Likewise some have speculated that the continent of South America bears striking similarities to the description of Atlantis by Plato, particularly the Altiplano region of the Andes. The stories of a lost continent off the coast of India, named "Kumari Kandam," have inspired some to draw parallels to Atlantis.


Plato said Atlantis existed about 9,000 years before his own time, and that its story had been passed down by poets, priests, and others. But Plato's writings about Atlantis are the only known records of its existence.

Atlantis was an advanced civilization, rich and prosperous with everything in abundance—a paradise, according to Plato. The inhabitants were a great power who opposed even Europe and Asia, and were able to navigate the sea.
The City of Atlantis is believed to have had an amazing geography. The Central City itself was at the very centre of Atlantis. It was surrounded by concentric island forms which were rich in flora and fauna. Here's what Atlantis is believed to have looked like :






If what Plato mentions is true, then do we have ‘gods’ in flesh and blood, creating the continent of Atlantis, populating it and helping it to become an advanced civilization? Gods also destroyed Atlantis once it became ‘corrupted’ and its inhabitants began misusing their powers, defying the gods and their rules. It cannot be clearer that once again we have references to supreme beings, or gods, with unique powers, wisdom and technology—the same beings that later on become mythology and, in one way or another, abandon humanity…or did they? 

 In Search of The Lost Land


The most common theory of location of Atlantis is the Atlantic Ocean itself. And so the modern day landmasses around Atlantic Ocean become 'prime suspects'.
Here's a map of the lost land by Athanasius Kircher

Ireland could possibly have been a part of the Legendary Atlantis, owing to the history of Ireland. It has been claimed that Ireland's oldest rock is about 1.7 billion years ago, and this opens the door that it could have been part of another great landmass. You can read more on the geography and formation of Ireland here.

What is more intriguing is the remains of the megalithic structures found around the United Kingdom. Of these, the Stonehenge and the Knowth Passage.
The artifacts found at Knowth seem to astonish minds. The kerbstones at Knowth have carvings. The most popular kerbstone being : 




Now, this is believed to be a lunar cycle or a cycle of some sort. This means that the civilization was advanced as to calculate the lunar positions and cycle of the Moon. It could also represent a sundial.   The Basin Stone : 















In fact, the whole Knowth Passage itself
 is designed in a rather complex manner:












Conclusion


Could it be that all the remains could have originated form Atlantis itself? There could be a slight possibility that these structures could have been the knowledge of Atlanteans? Or even the technology used might be of Atlantean origins. We cannot be sure of anything!

From what I see, Atlantis really existed. 

Not to be far flung, but please bear with me. According to some "mediums" or people who channel, Atlantis was seeded by the Sirians! The reason why Atlantis was paradise, is because the beings living on it were interconnected consciously, like a spiderweb. They lived as one. This had originated from Sirius itself. But Atlantis had something which could not be found elsewhere in many star-systems. This was a high level of collective consciousness! This in turn allowed for the creation of a truly amazing caliber. It was the high level of consciousness that had been attained prior to the fall and destruction of Atlantis that attracted beings from other planets. They sowed seeds of destruction without being at a level of consciousness as ours. So eventually, it led to the Fall of Atlantis.
