  • 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.

"Not only did the lost city of Atlantis likely exist, but its true location may have been hiding in plain sight for thousands of years, completely unnoticed, as we’ve been looking in all the wrong places..."

actually, it's fine
No, it really isn't. That part of Mauritania is not in front of The Pillars of Hercules.

It's not part of an island which was submerged by earthquake and tsunami. Also, the inner "island" was not a mountain as described by Plato.

There are so many discrepancies between Plato's writings and Richat structure that only the ignorant would consider it a reasonable option.

that's not true

I know you have problems accepting…

please watch this video
Scepticism is appropriate when it comes to claims for the discovery of Atlantis - superficially plausible ideas for its location appear regularly, but they generally pick the features that match, however vaguely, the ancient writings, and ignore the rest. I'd be inclined to reserve judgement - does the geographic history match the Atlantean myth? Were there really well-established civilisations in the pre-pottery Neolithic era? The oldest monoliths known, at Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, are around this age, and are thought to be pre-agricultural...
