New book identifies Ireland as Atlantis
04/08/2004 - 10:21:27
A new book investigating the myth of Atlantis says that the mythical land was actually the island of Ireland.
The claim is made by geologist Ulf Erlingsson in his book 'Atlantis from a Geographer’s Perspective: Mapping the Fairy Land', who is to visit Ireland on August 11 to 13.
In his book Erlingsson bases his evidence on Plato's desription of Atlantis which, according to Erlinsson, matches Ireland perfectly. Statistically, the scientist claims, the probability is over 99.98% that Plato was describing Ireland.

Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
Ah. So how did a natural disaster on Ireland destroy their invading armies in Greece, and destroy the ancient Athenian civilization as well?
I'm betting there's a 99.98% probablity that he's just trying to make some money selling a book about a subject that the public is traditionally very gullible about. But maybe I'm just being cynical.

Gee, you really think so, Einstein? You mean a book about Atlantis might not be grounded in accurate hard science?
Thanks for enlightening the rest of us.

Hey! There might have been a few who didn't get it. Given the bizaare thought we got on the last thread about Atlantis, I just wanted to throw that in there before the tinfoilhats got a bit to thick.

It's true. The leprechauns have hidden the true Atlantis away. I believe it's behind their pot of gold.

Bozo the Clown and the inventor of cold fusion all rolled into one, more like it.
I had a crazy *** teacher in grade 11 that thought that all modern technology was reversed engineered from Atlantean technology when they found the Atlantis.
I did try to point out to her that it is the "Lost" City of Atlantis and she got mad at me.
The thing is that she was 99.98% positive of her claim. Doesnt make her right and neither does it make this guy.

I always thought you more a mix of Helen Keller and Dan Quayle.

Posted: Aug 10 2004 at 4:13 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I don't believe anyone named Ulf out of principle. Besides, everyone knows that Atlantis is buried under the ice in Antarctica.
I prefer the Stargate Atalantis version, btw good new serries kudos SciFi.
The original Stargate movie turned me off so bad, that I've never been able to watch any of the series. But the Atlantis connection looks like it could be interesting.
How is Stargate Atlantis? Isn't that the new series from the SciFi Channel? Didn't a guy named Milo find Atlantis? If you answer the last one, your as tired as I am. I haven't seen that stupid movie in months and I can still come up with that name. Damn you, Disney!!!
