Alantis or Atlantean Theories
The greek philosopher, Plato, brought to the world, the story of the lost continent of Atlantis. His story began to unfold for him around 355 B.C. He wrote about this land called Atlantis in two of his dialogues, Timaeus and Critias, around 370 B.C. Plato stated that the continent lay in the Atlantic Ocean near the Straits of Gibraltar until its destruction 10,000 years previous.
Plato described Atlantis as alternating rings of sea and land ( Image from crystalinks.com) , with a palace in the center 'bull's eye'.
Edgar Cayce first mentioned Atlantis in a life reading given in 1923, and later gave its geographical location as the Caribbean, and proposed that Atlantis was an ancient, now-submerged, highly-evolved civilization which had ships and aircraft powered by a mysterious form of energy crystal. He also predicted that parts of Atlantis would rise in 1969.
According to Gordon-Michael Scallion;Atlantis existed almost 250,000 years from its first age to its final days, the last of its islands going beneath the seas around 9,000 years ago. The Great Pyramid was constructed over 12,500 years ago. It is an Atlantean instrument conceived by Ra, a priest from the land of Dar, and engineered by Thoth (Hermes) from Atlantis. Construction was carried out by a work force of native Egyptians and the black races of people known as the Nubians and Zuleans who occupied the east and west banks of the southern Nile River.
Interesting, however, according to ZAHI HAWASS, Director General of Giza;People have been excavating in Egypt for the last 200 years. No single artifact, no single inscription, or pottery, or anything has been found until now, in any place to predate the Egyptian civilization more than 5,000 years ago.

Below is a paragraph from this introduction: "Plato speaks of Atlantis in two works - dialogues "Timaeus" and "Critias". Dialogue was a genre widely popular in Ancient Greece, in which information or ideas are not narrated by the author himself, but are presented to the reader by two or more interlocutors addressing each other. Such a genre is convenient for presenting differing views on the same subject and, besides, makes it possible to render the experience cited in support of the deliberations, concrete to the utmost. Therefore, the genre of the ancient Greek dialogues should not be seen merely as short-hand records of actual conversations." -[Viatcheslav Koudriavtsev]-
Includes links to a summary of the story told by Plato around 360 BC in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias, the only specific known references to Atlantis.
(Bimini, Bahamas. Article) The article attemps to answer questions such as; "What of the fabled apocalypse which, according to the Egyptians, swallowed Keftiu-Atlantis in one day and one night? This also has basis in historical fact. The trail of evidence leads to the small island of Santorini."
"Interest in the new version of Atlantis sparked speculations about whether there might be other lost lands. Some years earlier Victorian scientists had conjectured that a land-bridge must once have spanned the Indian Ocean, because of the distribution of lemurs and other animals across Africa and southern Asia. A geologist, Philip Sclater, had dubbed this sunken bridge 'Lemuria'." -[]-
