atlantis: large island in the western sea (the atlantic ocean). plato, in his dialogues the timaeus and the critias, tells of the high civilization that flourished there before the island was destroyed by an earthquake. the legend persists, and societies for the discovery of atlantis remain active. plato described atlantis as an ideal state, and the name is considered synonymous with utopia.\n\npompaii: was an ancient city of s. italy, a port near osettlement, it was a samnite city for centuries before it passed under roman rule at the time of lucius cornelius sulla (1st cent. ). pompeii was not only a flourishing port but a prosperous resort with many villas. an earthquake in 63 did much damage, and an eruption of mt. vesuvius in 79 (which was described by pliny the younger) buried pompeii, along with herculaneum and stabiae, under cinders and ashes that preserved the ruins of the city with magnificent completeness–down to the fresh colors of the wall paintings. the long-forgotten site of the city was rediscovered in 1748 and has been sporadically excavated since that time. the habits and manners of life in roman times have been revealed in great detail at pompeii by the plan of the streets and footpaths, the statue-decorated public buildings, and the simple shops and homes of the artisans. the houses and villas have yielded rare and beautiful examples of roman art. among the most famous are the house of the vetti, the villa of the mysteries, and, in the suburbs of pompeii, the villa of the boscoreale.

Seahorses - yes\nMermaids/mermen - i wish, but not currently\nAtlantis - i think yes, it did exist at some point,  because of the oral legends.  For years people thought Troy was only a legend, and then evidence of where it was was, was found (in the 70's or 80's i think).  So, i'm holding out hope for Atlantis....

Mu supposedly existed before Atlantis.   I have heard if you cup your palm (one or the other) like you were going to drink water from it and you see a capital M in the creases, you are an old soul and came from the land of Mu.   Lots of interesting stuff out there about Mu and Atlantis.

Could Atlantis Still Exist?\nTheories abound as to what happened to the civilisation known as Atlantis, as written about by Plato. The oldest theory, that it sank into the Atlantic Ocean, has been dismissed as the bottom of the oceans have been mapped. There is a theory that it may have been off the coast of England, or near Hawaii. Recently, however, a theory has been proposed by authors Rand and Rose Flem-Ath, in their book When the Sky Fell, that the island continent of Atlantis still exists today – under the ice of Antarctica.\n\nThere is a whole body of evidence that suggests there may be more than meets the eye with the Antarctica/Atlantis theory, at least in as far as Antarctica once had a sub-tropical to temperate climate. For this to be the case, one of two things has to be true. Either the poles were far removed from where they are now, or Antarctica had to be far removed. There is real evidence that both of these conditions have been fulfilled during the course of this planet's history.\n\nLet's consider the first possibility. It's a documented fact that the North Pole moves. Between 1900 and 1960, it moved ten feet in the direction of Greenland. That's 2.5 inches, or 60mm, a year. Between 1960 and 1968 the pole also moved another ten feet, this time at a rate of 100mm or four inches per year. Not only is the pole moving, but the rate of motion is increasing. In other words, it is accelerating. There is also a theory that suggests the North and South Poles have switched places during the history of the planet.\n\nSo on to the second condition. In Antarctica, very little flourishes. The plains of Antarctica can reach a brisk minus 90°C whilst the coastal areas reach a comparatively tropical minus 60°C. There are no indigenous land animals, although the coastline is home to seabird rookeries. The Encyclopaedia Britannica lists all the burgeoning plant life; 'Lichens, mosses and liverworts, moulds, yeasts, other fungi, algae and bacteria...'. In other words, as far as plant life goes, it resembles your kitchen when a lodger has been away for the weekend and no-one else has cleaned up after you.\n\n500 miles north of the South Pole is the fossilised remains of a forest, 7,000 feet up Mount Ahernar. It is believed to be from the Permian period, 260 million years ago. In 1935, Admiral Byrd's South Pole expedition found fossilised leaves, stems and wood two miles above sea level on the side of Mount Weaver. The Russians have found evidence of tropical flora dating back to the early Tertiary period. In 1990, fossils from a deciduous beach forest were found 250 miles from the South Pole – fossils that were only two or three million years old. In 1986, fossilised wood and plants were discovered that showed some places on the continent were ice-free as little as 100,000 years ago. The University of Illinois says that sedimentary core samples show that rivers were running to the sea in 4,000BC.\n\nIn the Arctic Circle the story is the same. Fossilised palm leaves have been found, as have fossilised crustaceans that can only survive in tropical waters. These were found at Spitzbergen, which today is ice-bound for ten months of the year and cannot be reached by sea. The palm leaves and marine fossils show that a sea that had a comparable temperature to the Caribbean today once surrounded this island. On Baffin Island, 900 miles from the North Pole, alder and birch remains found in peat show that the island had a much warmer, temperate climate only 30,000 years ago.\n\nThese plants cannot grow at the temperatures that these regions experience today. They cannot grow in the regimes of 24-hour periods of darkness followed by 24-hour periods of daylight. Either the poles were in different places than they are now, or these lands were in different geographical locations than they are now.\n\nIf the Antarctic continent had once been positioned much further north than it is now – say, in the middle of

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a geographical area in the Atlantic Ocean approximately triangular in shape and is famous for its supposed paranormal activities. The Bermuda Triangle is an approximate equilateral triangle with its three corners roughly defined by the islands of Bermuda (one corner) and Puerto Rico near its capital city San Juan (another corner), and near Miami, Florida (a third corner), giving it an area of nearly half a million square miles (1.2 million km²). (Other shapes have been proposed as well as dimensions and borders—see the map at the right and its caption.)\n\nThere are many claims of paranormal activity within the Triangle, especially the inexplicable disappearance of ships and aircraft, or of their crews. Other common claims made of the region are that the laws of physics do not operate here as they do elsewhere, or that extraterrestrial beings are responsible for the disappearances.\n\nAlthough there are many opinions on exactly what area is covered, it is usually considered to be a triangular shape with its three points in Miami, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda. The triangle marks a corridor of the North Atlantic stretching northward from the West Indies along the North American seaboard as far as the Carolinas. To take advantage of prevailing winds, ships returning to Europe during the Age of Sail would sail north to the Carolinas before turning east to cross the north Atlantic. This pattern continued after the development of steam and internal combustion engines, meaning that much of the north Atlantic shipping traffic crossed (and still crosses) through the Triangle's area-

The Bermuda Triangle (also known as Devil's Triangle) is a nearly half-million square-mile (1.2 million km2) area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the southernmost tip of Florida. The Bermuda Triangle has become popular through representation by the mass media, in which it is a paranormal site in which the known laws of physics are either violated, altered, or both.\n\nWhile there is a common belief that a number of ships and airplanes have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances in this region, the United States Coast Guard and others disagree with that assessment, citing statistics demonstrating that the number of incidents involving lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any other heavily traveled region of the world. Many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon close examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades.\n\nThe triangle is an arbitrary shape, crudely marking out a corridor of the Atlantic, stretching northward from the West Indies, along the North American seaboard, as far as the Carolinas. In the Age of Sail, ships returning to Europe from parts south would sail north to the Carolinas, then turn east for Europe, taking advantage of the prevailing wind direction across the North Atlantic. Even with the development of steam and internal-combustion engines, a great deal more shipping traffic was (and still is) found nearer the US coastline than towards the empty centre of the Atlantic. The Triangle also loosely conforms with the course of the Gulf Stream as it leaves the West Indies, and has always been an area of volatile weather. The combination of distinctly heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather meant that a certain, also distinctly large, number of vessels would flounder in storms. Given the historical limitations of communications technology, most of those ships that sank without survivors would disappear without a trace. The advent of wireless communications, radar, and satellite navigation meant that the unexplained disappearances largely ceased at some point in the 20th Century. The occasional vessel still sinks, but rarely without a trace. It should be noted that both the concept and the name of the Bermuda Triangle date only to the 1960s, and were the products of an American journalist.\n\nOther areas often purported to possess unusual characteristics are the Devil's Sea, located near Japan, and the Marysburgh Vortex or the Great Lakes Triangle, located in eastern Lake Ontario.\n\nFirst citations\nThe first mention of disappearances in the area was made in 1950 by E.V.W. Jones as a sidebar on the Associated Press wire service regarding recent ship losses. Jones' article notes the "mysterious disappearances" of ships, airplanes and small boats in the region, and ascribes it the name "The Devil's Triangle". It was next mentioned in 1952 in a Fate Magazine article by George X. Sand, who outlined several "strange marine disappearances". The term "Bermuda Triangle" was popularized by Vincent Gaddis in a 1964 Argosy feature.\n\nAn explanation for some of the disappearances focuses on the presence of vast fields of methane hydrates on the continental shelves. A paper was published in 1981 by the United States Geological Survey about the appearance of hydrates in the Blake Ridge area, off the southeastern United States coast. Periodic methane eruptions may produce regions of frothy water that are no longer capable of providing adequate buoyancy for ships. If this were the case, such an area forming around a ship could cause it to sink very rapidly and without warning. Laboratory experiments have proven that bubbles can, indeed, sink a scale model ship by decreasing the density of the water.\n\nHypothetically, methane gas might also be involved in airplane crashes, as it is not as dense as normal air and thus w

i can try to search for it or ask someone who works to Atlantis if they have any idea about that...

The "Lost city" of Atlantis was an ancient mythical island, whose existence and location have never been confirmed. The first references to Atlantis are from the classical Greek philosopher Plato, who said it was engulfed by the ocean as the result of an earthquake 9,000 years before his own time. Plato claimed it was somewhere outside the Pillars of Hercules, now known as the Strait of Gibraltar. While there are many theories about Atlantis, nearly all serious research shows that Atlantis never existed as Plato described it, although elements of his story may have been drawn from real events.

Various explanations for the apparent high number of disappearances have been put forward, ranging from the mundane to the hyper-fantastic.\n\nSkeptics contend that this region has a comparable rate of maritime and aerial incidents as any other similar sized region of the ocean. They point out that Lloyd's of London, a world-renowned insurer of maritime vessels, does not charge a higher insurance premium for ships that regularly traverse the triangle.\n\nScientific considerations for an increased disappearance rate take into account that this region experiences severe tropical storms and is the source of many hurricanes. These storms create an increased danger to both ship and air traffic.\n\nRogue waves have also been put forward as a possible cause. These rare waves can reach heights of as much as 100 feet (30 meters), easily swamping most ships. Rouge waves, however, would have no effect on air travel.\n\nA third scientific explanation is methane hydrates. Methane deposits on the ocean floor may release bursts of methane gas that reduces the density of the water it permeates. Since ships rely on displacement to stay afloat, a reduction of density in the water would cause a ship to immediately sink. As the methane leaves the water and rises into the air, it would reduce the density of the air as well, thus reducing lift on aircraft, causing them to descend rapidly. In addition, the methane would change the air mixture taken into the engines of the aircraft, causing the engine to stall. While these events have not been witnessed in nature, they have been proved in lab experiments.\n\nMore exotic explanations for the Bermuda Triangle include it being an area of magnetic disturbance, temporal (or time) holes, the location of the lost city of Atlantis, or extra-terrestrial abduction.

The Bermuda Triangle (a.k.a. Devil's Triangle) is a mysterious triangle off the coast of Florida. It is a dangerous area due to it's constantly changing weather patterns and dangerous seas. Ships, planes, subs and other transports have perished in present day there. It is said that aliens and Atlantis is there.
