Destroyed Atlantis = Menorah

[MRC_Hans]

Greetings JREF'ers,

Truly it has been too long...

I hope all of you are well.

The thing that brings me back, is that I'd like feedback on a particular "woo-subject" I was introduced to last week.

So...along the Spanish coast are remnants of 'half' of Atlantis...

http://atlantipedia.ie/samples/tag/hierarchical-constraint-satisfaction/

There are some who postulate that the Menorah was misconstrued as a candle stick, rather than a symbol of the lost city, with half its concentric circles missing.

I've always found Atlantis to be the unfound Troy- a mythical city lost to our knowledge, trapped behind indecipherable passages, waiting to be found by someone willing to look where others have not...

Thoughts?

That link is to a very long and rather assuming text. And it does not seem to pertain to the Spanish coast.

Please explain what it is you want to discuss, and what the arguments on your side (or the side you want to discuss) are?

Why?
I have had education in classical languages and actually have read some plato in greek and enough of it in my own language to form my own opinion.

IF, and that is a very big if, atlantis contrary to all current known information turns out to be real I'm sure I will hear of it trough a different channel than trough some random link, especially one where the one linking it won't explain what parts of it are compelling to him.

I know this forum is actually virus free, some random link, not so much.

Pfft...

So, you've never heard of James Cameron? He's responsible for "Avatar," the movie.

He's created a film about the connection between Atlantis and the Spanish coast.

Another interesting theory is that the mythical city of Atlantis is based on the destruction of some city off the coast of India, in the Arabian Sea.
Some other folks claim it's in South America.
It all just goes to show that many places can be forced to fit the 'facts' from a story told over a thousand years ago when water levels were different, and language was different, and names of places were different.......

Yeah, wrong link, sorry. I can't edit it anymore.

Atlantis, may have been found along the Spanish coast. Symbols of a sideways menorah have been found within these ruins.

It appears to, at least James Cameron, that the symbol for the destroyed Atlantis (concentric circles cut in half) was misconstrued by Jewish ancestors as a candle lobra.

Using those two sentences it's obvious you're just playing games.

'Facts' like concentric circular ruins, right beside the ocean? Corresponding cave paintings and symbols?

Rather than have nothing of value to add, maybe look into this site, and see if it is a better or more likely location than others to be the actual Atlantis?

Nope.

And Pandora exists in the same reality as Atlantis, as do the Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss and Jack Dawson.

That's funny.

"You've directed fiction, so you are no longer qualified to make documentaries."

*Seriously, that's NOT an argument against the findings presented here.

 

[Beelzebuddy]

You've never heard of Atlantis...really?

And you post here regularly...?

I guess that's sarcasm I'm detecting?

My conception of Atlantis wouldn't lead me to credulously accept any ol' red dot on a map. Yours does. So the first question is what, exactly, does Atlantis mean to you?

Wow, that amount of straw is a big fire hazard. No one even came close to saying that.

Here's a hint: making a documentary about a subject is not a de facto endorsement of the subject or the inherent claims.

People make documentaries about various religions, that doesn't make Odin or Anansi any more real.

You owe me a new irony meter.

What convinces you that there was a real Atlantis off the coast of Spain?

You know nothing of my conceptions, sir.

I 'believe' that the story of Atlantis contains truth. Like Homer's Troy, it will be, or has been found, because researchers were able to decipher Plato's writings to arrive at the site likely responsible for the myth.

What does it mean?

"Build further inland?"

So, you are backpedaling for another poster, while having nothing to say about the actual findings made by Cameron?

That's exactly what the poster implied by his post. No straw man there.

Be specific. I don't think you really know what you're talking about.

I watched it a couple weeks ago and found it to be extremely weak. What about it do you find compelling?
