"Atlantis" is real in the sense that it's a demonstration of how long-extinct civilization myths existed even in the ancient world, and people's ongoing compulsion to chase those myths.

There was never a brick-and-mortar Atlantis.

Literally hyperboreans.

Literally.

I'm fairly sure their was. There being palaces under the ocean where people claim Atlantis was.

didnt britain used to be connected to europe? I really doubt the city was great, but there were probably cities there.

Doggerbay island? IIRC there are some proto-Frisian leftovers there, but nothing much else

What ethnicity were Atlantians?

>>2129085
Proto-Inca, so Amerindians

Did they actually believe it though? Reading Plato, I don't get the sense that it's supposed to be something that literally happened.

No.

It isn't. Plato said it wasn't a literal place.

Nice try shill. That's because Atlantis was built with coral and mother of pearl.

Fun facts:

Ancient platonists such as Plutarch and Proclus thought that Atlantis was a myth.

Most modern believers get their idea of Atlantis, not from Plato, but from occult writers such Madame Blavatsky.

There are other myths in Plato that don't get the same following, such as a city in the sky etc.

Was Atlantis the Sea Peoples or the Minoans?

The Sea Peoples travelled throughout the Med attacking everyone as the Atlanteans are said to have done, notably the involvement of Egypt is mentioned whom were the only civilization left unscathed. The Sea Peoples likely originated to the west of Greece in Sardinia and other places, perhaps giving the impression they came through the "Gates of Hercules", ie. the Gibraltar Strait.

Minoan civilization collapsed after the Santorini eruption. Santorini was the location of a resort for the rich, Akrotiri, which has beeen discovered and yielded many artifacts and possibly hot and cold running water, also described as something Atlantis had.

Was the sinking of Atlantis concurrent with Noah's flood? If so, was Atlantis the capital of the human-alien hybrids, the nephilim?

Atlantis was dated by Plato to 9000 years before his time, ~9400 BC, this predates the date of the biblical flood estimated to have occurred at around ~2300 BC according to the Bible. It is unlikely these are literal truth, more likely they are embellished myths.

the invasions of the sea peoples occurred from 1276 BC to 1178 BC

the santorini eruption took place between 1640 BC and 1540 BC

Atlantis was probably inspired from Thera.

Atlantis was made of Orichalcum. Please don't talk about things you know nothing about.
