"In the last century we have learned very much about the events
of the past, thanks to the developments of geology. Plato gave a date of 9600 BC
for Atlantis. At that time the last ice age ended, the global sea level rose in
the order of 125 m altogether, and the temperature rose in the order of 10ºC.
The details of this development are still being investigated by earth scientists,
and some very sudden events may still not have been identified. It would thus reveal
ignorance to state that the tale can not have a background in reality. Check the
3D rendition to the right (on the site) for instance; it shows a recently discovered
geologic formation that fits nicely into Plato's description of the city. Note, though,
that most people have an erroneous image of what Atlantis was (or wasn't, as the case
may be). You can study up under the heading Tradition." (Ulf Erlingsson)
