  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Wasn't Atlantis supposed to be Round Streets ?

In the Description given by Plato, Atlantis was a City of Concentric Circles, Canals, and bridges. Atlantian Legend tells of a city of concentric circles.

I haven't read Plato's description, but something makes me wonder if there could, even in theory, be any way of ascertaining *which* city really had been found if those 'remnants' were found out to be man-made. I mean, you probably won't find "Atlantis" "written" anywhere down there in readable language. Or are the archeologists' means of ascertaining things so refined that a layman like myself has no clue about them.

I have a question. What's Patrick Duffy doing there, lurking shirtless behind a tree? And what's with his hands? Are we to believe "Bobby" is actually a denizen of this long lost Atlantis?

Oh, right. It's The Sun... :p

If true, maybe they can consentrate on finding the lost Amazon tribes. The women warriors.

I don't know why this reminds me of a story I heard which I shall now share. There was an Orthodox Bishop from Greece who visited the US and while there also went to visit someone in the hospital. He, of course, was wearing full monastic garb. Someone made a comment having only seen him from the back that he was the tallest nun they had ever seen, at which point he turned around (proving by the beard that he wasn't a nun to the person who had never likely seen an Orthodox Bishop before) and said, "I am a Lesbian." His translator helped him out a bit and he then clarified, "I am from Lesbos," which, of course, he was. :D

They would look for writings which they would compare to known languages to see if there were any similarities. There are people who are pretty sharp at translating such things. They have actually found places like the ancient city of Troy from Homer's Illiad and Odyssey stories. For thousands of years people thought Troy was a city from a fairy tale. The evidence being at the bottom of the ocean makes for an interesting twist. The sea might have helped lose the evidence to time.

Interesting question, so I did a little research. This is a site that shows a translation of Plato's description of Atlantis...if you're interested. :) http://www.geocities.com/ancients_uk/atlantis/plato.htm

Google commented on this and said those lines were not actually on the earth and were an artifact of it's undersea scanning process... the lines are the shadows reflected from the boats by sonar bouncing off the ocean floor and re-hitting the boats, as they sweep across the ocean mapping the ocean floor... or something like that.
