What exactly was the tech level of Atlantis?

Atlantis was a fictionalized tale of the Minoan Eruption which lead to the real downfall of the Minoan civilization.
 
I'm saying they were pretty advanced, according to this fantastic program series..

I mean.. they had robots! Not too shabby, eh?

While it's true Atlantis lives on, all remnants of its physical form have long succumbed to the sands of time. You can still see the influence of Atlantis, though, in everyday life. The Stop Sign on the street corner, the "A-OK" hand gesture, tipping 10-20%.. all spawned from the technology and customs of the Atlantean people.

This one really got me, but I lost it at the tipping culture.

I'll admit that Palazzo was a bit of an eccentric, his unhealthy obsession with horses is well-known. He also wrote novels in his spare time, and was an accomplished painter, fencer and philatelist. A polymath, surely. I, however, do not see how these facts discredit his research on the scrolls or the historicity of the events outlined in my previous responses.

Furthermore, I have been, and remain to be completely anonymous while speaking of these facts, for fear of repercussions from the power's that be. The Atlantean Scrolls and their legacy is a topic of interest to people and organizations whose powers extend beyond one's wildest imagination. Revealing myself would suicidal. Because of this, naturally, your accusations at my character are completely unfounded. Although I do in fact hold Palazzo in high esteem, I would never rewrite history. You, however, do not seem to mind.



Indeed, it is rumored that before the Scrolls again went missing in the 1930s due to alleged theft, individual pages happened to conveniently disappear. Borrowed, perhaps? Or did the powers that be realize the allure of the Scrolls and seek to quietly protect the pages of interest. One can not be known, seeing as how whatever pages went missing are now scattered across multiple parties, organizations, and men.

Christopher Alerman, did, is claimed to have come in possession of a part of the 33rd Scroll in 1931. This went largely unknown until he passed it on to his son, Jonah. Jonah has been secretive of it's provenance or how he happened upon it, only claiming that his father borrowed it from the University library in the early 30s. No record, of course, of this exists. But, Jonah's research into optical technology do indeed hint at some unknown reference material, and it's not completely infeasibleto to think he had access to some technological writings of Atlantean technology. This, of course, is only a theory.

The bulk of the scrolls final resting place is currently unknown. How many were "borrowed" from the University in the early '30s is up for debate. Who, if anyone, precipitated these events is another question entirely. Who's to say what technological innovations we owe to them, if they truly do exist?

This thread, however, has re-invigorated my interest in the fate of the scrolls, as well as some others, apparently.

Interestingly, I've recently received an anonymous message from seemingly European origin (what I will say about myself is I reside in America) dealing with the death of Domingo Palazzo.

If you will recall, his body was found, charred to a crisp, in the aftermath of the University of Barcelona library fire. It is reported that his remains (what was left of them) were cremated and sent off to his closest relative, who, to this day, remains unknown.

However, my anonymous source claims to be a distant descendant of Palazzo, and that his great-great-grandfather was Palazzo's first cousin, and, at the time of his death, the next of kin. I could go on, but I'll let his message speak for itself:



Friends, take this as you will. If anything, my communication with you has re-ignited my intrigue in these matters, and brought forward an interesting new friend. I'm not sure what to presently make of it, but I will keep you updated as much as I can.

But the idea of some ancient super advanced peoples is pretty old.

But no such cvilizaiton could have existed. They could not exist without leaving behind significant evidence.

Just because we have not found evidence does not mean it isn't there. We simply might not have found it yet.

What about the sunken Cuban city?

I remember when that was discovered. Amazing that even today 13 years later it hasn't really been explored thoroughly. Deep sea exploration is so expensive and cumbersome, I wish we were at the tech level where it was much easier and common.

If that picture is real, that's pretty cool. Definitely looks man-made, but nature can be a tricky bitch, yo.

I think that picture is computer generated based on the original sonar imaging. It was posted on a few news sites I found. It was on a National Geographic special and can be found in the Costa Rica Star.

Here is a video that seems to be pretty accurate from what I can tell based on similar images and news from other articles.

It is pretty interesting. I'm not one for conspiracy theories whatsoever, but it is weird that the government supposedly took interest in this and then it hasn't been looked into any further 13 years later. Then again I feel I'm teetering on the edge of believing I'm crazy for even considering this stuff. Lol

Like your dissertation?

Glad someone other than me is still on that.
Since, I've been completely ignored every time I've asked about it.

Come along now, either link us to your dissertation, or provide us with a citation/location to access it.

This is the first I'm hearing of this. Amazing!

I just refreshed the page and the story disappeared. Did anyone save it?
Click to expand...

I have saved it but have since sworn a blood pact with the Moon Ouroboros not to reveal it. Would have to eat my own tail if I did and I just don't have that flexibility anymore.
 
So if Atlantis sank (or took off) around 8000-9000 BC, would that mean it was an antideluvian civilization and would Plato just be referring to a pre flood civilization like lots of religions do? If so, then the chances are good that Atlantis was full of Demigods which would explain its advanced technologies. Human-alien hybrids would explain all of this.

I do not have it in electronic format. I have a hard copy somewhere, but my physical archives are quite extensive.

Thanks to the 2008 recession (and Obama), my institution experienced a substantial financial crisis and was forced to lease the library out to a Vietnamese Christian congregation. During the transition from fount-of-knowledge to fount-of-baptismal-water, many items and documents were "misplaced..." including my award-winning dissertation.

Lol there has already been proof Atlantis existed, they also just found the Legendary metal of Atlantis here http://news.discovery.com/history/archaeology/atlantis-legendary-metal-found-in-shipwreck-150106.htm

Reading other posts in the thread is difficult, apparently.

Wow, well, If I see Vietnamese Christians flying around in metal , zero G hovercraft made of Orichalum preaching the word of God, then I'll know what's up...

Classical advanced societies harnessed a different type of technology that essentially equates to magic due to its energy principles and utilization of such technology mostly in such a way to manipulate matter and nature and not much more, such as weaponry or space exploration/discovery/recording of history.

With that said, I would base Atlantis on about par with "Ancient Egypt" but with a few key advances in technology such as power capabilities and emphasis on being able to use nature/the ocean to protect itself. They also apparently have advanced cloaking technology that has enabled them to hide for hundreds of years.

No no no. The first paragraph is spot on, but they're not hidden, Atlantis is gone. Mana wasn't a renewable resource and now it's used up. It was magic that kept Atlantis intact and above the waves.

We haven't discovered it yet. More proof that Atlantis was more advanced than we are today.


It's also a tech you can research in the 4X game Endless Space. I'm sure there isn't any connection however...

Definitive Proof that Obama is the worst President ever. Thanks Obama.
 
I watched some stuff and there seems to be other cities like Atlantis that appear to be just as advanced and lost to the sea.

Anyone look into Hy'Brasil and Dwaraka?

Hy'Brasil is particularly interesting as it seems some military dude encountered a UFO that telepathically wrote binary code into his memory that indicated the coordinates of Hy'Brasil, as well as showing they were from 8001 or some madness.

And early explorers indicate they sailed and encountered Hy'Brasil in their maps.
