Yes I agree with you.  I have done extensive research into this theory and believe that it answers a lot of questions that no one else has been able to answer.  There are many books on the subject, Zechariah Sitchen is another author not already mentioned, that has written extensivly on the subject.\n\nMany believe that the gods in the ancient Sumerian writings were aliens.  These are also the oldest writings in history and most scholars agree that they are the root of most religions including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.  Many of the scriptures in the OT bible can be traced back to the Sumerian texts that told of the same story, first.\n\nThere is the primitive tribe in Africa called the Dogon that have advanced knowledge of the solar system.  They have known for many years how many moons Jupiter had and about the rings of Saturn. They have knowledge of the Sirius B and C stars before science knew of them.  "The Sirius Mystery" is book written about this.  When it was originally printed in the 70's Sirius C had not yet been discovered by science.  It was discovered in the 90's and that more or less proves the Dogon correct.  How did they know this?  They insist that thousands of years ago men cam from the Orion galaxy and taught their ancestors.\n\nI am glad to see some other open minded individuals with opinions about this topic instead of the usual response from people that just want to shoot down theories because they have no knowledge of them and they don't agree with what they have always believed or been told but don't have the initiative to actually go out and research it and then make up their mind.

Of course. And you can take that from me, the once and future King of the lost continent of Atlantis!\n\n(erm, you're supposed to bow or curtsy when in my presence... ta.)

Its story started eight thousand years ago, when the Atlantis left their great knowledge to some of the Egyptian priest.It was founded by HOWARD CARTER, Egyptologist, in the Kings Valley, inside the priest JUAH''S grave. Later CARTER was the only one who escaped alive from the TUTANCAMON anathema's that was write in the front of his grave: “the death will take with its wings that who disturb Pharaoh sleep's”. When all the others scientists that had penetrated in his grave died one after another of stangers diseases, then it was noticed that the only thing that make CARTER different from the others was the others was the fact that he was wearing the famous ATLANTIS RING, which left him stay alive.\n\nSince then numberless of researches became interested in the ring . They came to a conclusion that the power of the RING came from a kind of energetically wave called LUXOR; of which invisibles agents catalyses cosmically energy. \n\nMany sites sell what they call are exact copies of the original ring, but they are based on photographs from a book written by Roger de Lafforest.\n\nNowadays the ring is sold under different 'configurations': with two or four holes, with an inner geometrical figure or just a line, with six little triangles or six little squares, etc. ,etc.\n\nPersonally I don't know of a single person who is using this ring so I don't know if it really works or not. Probably I should give it a try but I also have read somewhere that the ring creates a state of dependence but I think is the kind of dependence that any talisman has on certain people.

Many of my philosophy professors and Jungian fanatics would like to believe that every greek myth is a metaphor for some part of the human mind. \n\nHowever, there are new theories coming to light. For exacmple, the greek peninsula was, in prehistoric times, covered with dinosaurs and ice age animals. \n\nNow, it was common for a city-state to identify with a certain greek hero or god (Athens and Athena, Hereklia and Hercules, etc.) In fact, they often would construct tombs for their heroes. \n\nSo, back to the animals, if Joe-Greek walking through the wilderness comes across an enormous bone, he has to wonder what it was. Often, it is surmised, that the thigh bone of a mastadon or mammoth was taken for that of a giant or a hero (because greek heroes were literally, larger than life). \n\nIt is also suggested that the mammoth's skull, which has a circular opening in the high center (for the animals trunk) must has looked quite like the skull of a cyclopes. Considering the greeks had likely ZERO knowledge about the animals of the ice age, this seems like a safe guess. \n\nAnother example is a frilled dinosaur skeleton. We, of course see it immediately as a triceratops or one of his cousins. The greeks, would see a short tail (like a lion), claws (like a lion or alligator) a beak (like an eagle) and the frill bones, which near it's shoulders (wings maybe?)\n\nDon't let your philosophy or mythology of psychology profs. tell you it's all about the human mind. It's all about the human *interpretation* of data.

Interesting stuff.  I wouldn't mind if we were not alone in the universe. I found some discussion of this stuff on the internet, but if you have better sources, please post them \nThis is an article about Inca stones and the whole archeological find \nhttp://www.labyrinthina.com/ica.htm\nsome pictures here. about 1/4 down the page\nhttp://www.raphaelk.co.uk/web%20pics/Peru/Peru.htm

I think Atlantis was supposed to have been located in the Atlantic Ocean. It was supposed to have been destroyed and some people believe that one of the citys that was found under the Atlantic was Atlantis. There is no proof that it existed, I think there is only one recording that it existed. The people that have found the citys can't prove whether it was Atlantis or some other city. \nI think that they still show stuff on it on the discovery channel, or maybe go to discoverychannel.com, if there is such a site.

All the evidence points to a former global technoculture that once thrived upon the Earth as the original builders of the Great Pyramid and the pyramid complex of Giza.  This former civilization predates the Ancient Egyptians.  The Bible Code identifies Joseph of Genesis as the Chief Builder of the pyramids of Egypt.  Our linear and evolutionary history is inaccurate.  Even Plato stated that there have been several "Earth Ages" predating our current Earth Age, and that there were former civilizations in the world whose advance technology far surpassed the height of the Classic Greek culture.  In the temple of Karnak on an upper column are hieroglyphic images depicting aircraft and industrial-type helicopters moving massive stones.  The myth of the destruction of the "fable" Atlantis is actually a record of the cosmo-cataclysmic destruction of a former global technoculture.  Our Solar System is interlocked with the Sirius Binary System, the other half of our system.  The two were formerly united, but split in half when our paternal star, Sirius B, exploded into a Nebula Discontinuity Event, creating the celestial dynamics that split our original Osirian Trinary Stellar System in half.  The two systems interpenetrate through each other in an extinction level transversion, the Sirian-Solar Reconvergence, a 12,000-year recurrent and cyclic event.  It is this event that destroys each global technoculture when they are at their zenith of technological sophistication, catapulting the few catastrophic survivors back into a State of Neobarbarism to begin the slow and incremental process of re-civilization all over again.  Additionally, Plato stated that the Great Pyramid was constructed to determine the arrival of Sirius (the Sirian-Solar Reconvergence).  It is a “stone calculator” along with the Great Sphinx (the same goes for Stonehenge), aligned to the three stars in Orion’s Belt that represent the three stars that once formed our trinary system, the Sirian Trichotomy, Sirius B (Osiris), Sirius A (Isis) and Sirius C (our Sun, Sol).  Simultaneously, the three pyramids are symbolic of the three Orion stars, and are also synonymous with the Sirian Trichotomy.  The Sphinx is aligned to the Constellation Orion, which ascends to its zenith in 6,000 years, and descends to the horizon in another 6,000 years.  When Orion is at its zenith maximum, then the Sirian-Solar Convergence and the subsequent destruction of the Earth and the annihilation of our current civilization will ensue.  This will occur in about 15 years.

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.

One of the earliest Greek philosophers, Thales of Miletus (c. 7th century BC), maintained that the universe contained a creative force that he called physis, an early progenitor of the term physics; he also postulated that the world and all living things in it were made from water.\n\nwant proof....see ths site.http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-48831

Here's a link about the Alexander Technique. From what I can tell, it doesn't have much to do with Plato.

The Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador ~ I've always been fascinated by them because the oldest tortoises in the world live there, and because they are where Charles Darwin did a lot of studying, leading to his theory of evolution, because of the diversity of the species there :)\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galapagos

Over 11,000 years ago there existed an island nation located in the middle of the Atlantic ocean populated by a noble and powerful race. The people of this land possessed great wealth thanks to the natural resources found throughout their island. The island was a center for trade and commerce. The rulers of this land held sway over the people and land of their own island and well into Europe and Africa.\n\nThis was the island of Atlantis.\n\nAtlantis was the domain of Poseidon, god of the sea. When Poseidon fell in love with a mortal woman, Cleito, he created a dwelling at the top of a hill near the middle of the island and surrounded the dwelling with rings of water and land to protect her.\n\nCleito gave birth to five sets of twin boys who became the first rulers of Atlantis. The island was divided among the brothers with the eldest, Atlas, first King of Atlantis, being given control over the central hill and surrounding areas.\n\nAt the top of the central hill, a temple was built to honor Poseidon which housed a giant gold statue of Poseidon riding a chariot pulled by winged horses. It was here that the rulers of Atlantis would come to discuss laws, pass judgments, and pay tribute to Poseidon..\n\nTo facilitate travel and trade, a water canal was cut through of the rings of land and water running south for 5.5 miles (~9 km) to the sea.\n\nThe city of Atlantis sat just outside the outer ring of water and spread across the plain covering a circle of 11 miles (1.7 km). This was a densely populated area where the majority of the population lived.\n\nBeyond the city lay a fertile plain 330 miles (530 km) long and 110 miles (190 km) wide surrounded by another canal used to collect water from the rivers and streams of the mountains. The climate was such that two harvests were possible each year. One in the winter fed by the rains and one in the summer fed by irrigation from the canal.\n\nSurrounding the plain to the north were mountains which soared to the skies. Villages, lakes, rivers, and meadows dotted the mountains.\n\nBesides the harvests, the island provided all kinds of herbs, fruits, and nuts. An abundance of animals, including elephants, roamed the island.\n\nFor generations the Atlanteans lived simple, virtuous lives. But slowly they began to change. Greed and power began to corrupt them. When Zeus saw the immorality of the Atlanteans he gathered the other gods to determine a suitable punishment.\n\nSoon, in one violent surge it was gone. The island of Atlantis, its people, and its memory were swallowed by the sea.\n\n\nim greek what can i say lol

Von Daniken had some interesting theories.  While I do not believe specifically what he wrote, I do believe that we have been visited by extra-terrestials over the centuries.
