Have they been mixed up with other pieces? I mean if Ireland was the great Atlantis wouldn't there be signs of building remains or something? ??? _________________ "What is fashionable is what one wears oneself.

That is of course if I'm remebering correctly, Irish History classes were a long time ago. However seeing as how Plato refers to Atlantis as a civilisation which existed while he lived and which he visited in his life-time, the fact that these buildings were already ancient ruins by the time he was born puts a lot of doubt on the theory. Personally I believe it was all in his head. _________________ Goth.nets resident Atlantean (Thanks to Nephele) David Bowie - All the Madmen lastfm

In which case, Ireland would still be Atlantis, just not the way one would think. It's just an idea that popped into my head... daladus _________________ "I'll think of tearing, bloody roots and revel in her taste"

Plato was said to have told the tale and it was written by ancient eygptian scribes who (being in eygpt and not getting out much) got it wrong and the proximity was actually alot closer than the described place:Atlantic ocean..... Damn i wish i had of studied archeology...i always found this stuff fascinating. They actually have proof by uncovering the lost cities of crete, by the paintings of the murals and brick work. And Irish Ancient history is fascinating too... the paganism and druids

Come to think of it, most of the ruins that exist today, were buried under the ground, Plato wouldnt have seen any of them, we only see them today as they have been carefully excavated within the last two centuries.

They got drunk and smashed them all. :b Actually I remember seeing on T.V. that they discovered atlantis that was CLOSE to Ireland, but not quite. So if that's true does that make me part Atlantean? Heh...
