Atlantis?

What? It's not because something is not science that it's mythology... Plato did not believe in minotaurs...

Nevermind, though.

 

The main reason experts don't believe everything Plato wrote is that his Aristotel is much different from the way every other writer presented and described him not because of what he beleved in or not.

 

I'm just agreeing with what Dart said. Things that were said hundreds or thousands of years ago are, more often than not, not applicable to the modern world. Philosophy is different because it is somewhat elastic in nature.

Yes, I know Plato didn't believe in Minotaurs, I was just stating that people believed in some strange things back then.

 

Yeah sure, but their society was so much more advanced than some societies today...

 

While we're at that, people still believe in many things you can call strange

 

*cough Gravitation cough*

nah, but I totally agree...

 

*cough round earth cough*


Anyway, if anyone's actually interested in reading some more on the subject of Atlantis: http://www.crystalinks.com/atlantisnews.html

 

the actual problem with atlantis is that scientists think it would sink all their theories about the evolution of the human race...we think that the evolution of the human race is linear,meaning that it continues in one line...australopitecus,homo erectus,homo habilis,homo sapiens...their bad is that the existence of the atlantidians wouldn't mean that the human race evolved differently from what we think,just that some of us evolved faster...like europeans evolved in a technological(but not spiritual) sense faster than indians...just an example...anyway,it's way too complicated to be explained in just one post

 

I think I know what you mean...makes sense...Like the different cultures evolved seperately and unequaly, is what you're saying, right?

 

Well I thought different cultures did evolve seperately and unequaly

And no one said that Atlantida was THAT advanced. They were just extraordinary rich and had strong military forces.

 

@ mr.nobody-that's it
@-dušan-i aimed more at the spiritual aspect...as if they knew mother earth so much better than we do...there are speculations that they used some kind of acoustic levitation-nowadays,an approved science as far as i know...try looking it up on wikipedia,it should be there
