| Undoubtely Atlants or Titans
existed. Sources from the ancient ages confirm that there was a nation called Atlantes.
This nation spread its traces in many places of the earth. Its memory remained in various
legents,beliefs,worships and traditions. None of the ancient writers, except Greek
philosopher Aristoteli, has ever doubted the existence of this nation which was called
Atlantes. The later writers and researches also admit the existence of
the Atlantes. However, they disagree about the place where this "strange" nation
lived.
The question of where the Atlantes lived has been put since ancient years. Many theories have been developed. Most people's opinion is that they
were established in a big island in the Atlantic Ocean. This is also the opinion of the
museum of Atlantis as it analitically described below.
The
opinion of the Museum of Atlantis
Evaluating the information that has been collected about the Atlantes,
depriving its mythological coverings and interpreting it without reflective illusions we
accept that:
Atlantis existed in the Atlantic Ocean and it was the dominating organised
power in the 10th millenium B.C.
This opinion is also accepted by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato in his books "Timeos" and "Kritias"(or
Atlantic speach) which was written in 350 B.C. Plato's descriptions in his books mentioned
above contain shocking documents:
 |
In
"Timeos" Plato mentions that in front of the mouth which is called Hercules's
columns (note: the channel of Gibraltar as it is known in our days) there was a big island
with great power which was called Atlantida. Its size was so big that it could be
considered as a continent. Plato (427-347 B.C.) describes Atlantida as long and narrow
from east to west. As he writes, it could be crossed on foot in 18 days and nights.
Afterwards, by sailing from some other islands one could reach the continent which was
situated opposite. He means America. Of course Plato wasn't aware of Atlantis. Kritias had
given him the information for the descriptions in his books. Kritias with his turn had
obtained those notes from his grandfather, who had also obtained them by Solon. Solon (639-559 B.C.) had been to Egypt, where the priests
of Saida revealed him the ancient secrets which were written on stones in hieroglyphic
symbols. All these are also revealed by the ancient historian Plutarch
in "Solon's life". Proklos also confirms that he shaw
those stones when he travelled to Egypt and visited the temple of Niith(Athena in Greek).
He also adds in his book "Memorandum in the Platonic work":
"During the very old times there was a huge island in the Atlantic Ocean". It
was much bigger than Libyan and Asia together assures Krantor (comments in
"Timeos").
The priests of Saida, ancient religious capital of Egypt, told Solon that the Aegean
islands and Krete were conquered by Atlantes, who had come from the west, from the big
ocean.
As it was written on the stones, the powerful nation of the Atlants had conquered
almost all the coastal areas of the Mediterrane countries from Noarth to South
reaching up to the Persian gult. The Atlants weren't able to conquer Attiki because their
troaps had been defeated by the Athenians... |

Atlants governed
many islands around their continent in the Atlantic Ocean writes Diodoros Sikeliotis in
his work "Historic Bookcase" and they ruled over Mediterranian countries. And he
also adds, apart from Plato these are confirmed by Homer, Hesiod, Herodotus, Aeschylus,
Philon, Aristarchus, Kratis and Apollodorus. |

Poseidonios,
Kikeron's teacher, writes "There were legends that beyond the Hercules Stones there
was a huge area which was called "Poseidonis" or "Atlanta"". |
|
Geographer
Markellos in his "Collection of travellers' narrations" speaks about seven
islands of the Atlantic ocean one of which was Neptune's sacred place. |
|
Stravonas in his
"Geographics" accepts that "...the island of Atlantis in the fer west
places..." was reality. |

The names Atlas
- Antiatlas (mountains of Marocco) ,Atitlan (Guatemala), Tlakopan, Tenochitlan, Mitla,
Etla (Mexico) etc, are all derivatives of A-tla. |

The traditions
of the countries in Central America and the north-west Africa for sinking of a large
Atlantic island |
But apart from the ancient people's evidence, the traditions and the mythology
of the ancient nations, the fact that Atlantis existed in the Atlantic ocean is confirmed
by important archaeological findings which were
discovered after excavations and research. |
