Many of us may wonder how the lost city of Atlantis would be? While some may question the existence of Atlantis. Do you really believe in Atlantis that was proposed over a thousand years ago? It was an idea that was first proposed by the Greek philosopher Plato. He said that the city sunk into the bottom of the sea and none of us may really know its existence. Even Though there are mysteries like the Bermuda Triangle and the UFO, many had an obsession over this due to various conspiracies that have been evolved. Although it has gained much attention for past years, it regained its popularity in the 19th century when the congressman Ignatius Donnely said that he found the mountain ridges on the Atlantic ocean. Since it is a mystery that should be uncovered to others, we provide you with the conspiracy theories with the facts.
- Conspiracy Theory – Atlantis was swallowed by the sea:
Fact: No, it is not true
Atlantis, the imaginary land created by Plato has been in a mystery for almost thousand years. It is not possible for us to believe this theory, as the mere existence is questionable. it is not possible for the conspiracy theorist to state that it was swallowed by the sea without any evidence. Although Plato may mention that the Lost city sunk in the bottom of the sea, there are no historical records to prove its presence. Though many believe this theory it was debunked due to lack of evidence. Many researchers believed that he may have created the land just for entertainment. Plato states that the Islands of Atlantis were given by the Greek God Poseidon. This may be one of the reasons to deny this theory. Even when many people believe in this creation, researchers said it was just a story written for entertainment.
- Conspiracy Theory – Atlantis is present in the Atlantic:
Fact: No, it isn’t
This is a fake theory as Conspiracy theorists came to this conclusion just because of the similarity in their name. Some claim that Plato may have referred to the Atlantic Ocean as Atlantis. As the word “ Atlas” referred to the Giant water, it was stated that he may have referred that the city which is sunk in the bottom of the sea.
- Conspiracy Theory – Atlantis is in Bahamas:
Fact: No, it is not true
Apparently many people in this era seem to believe that Atlantis is in Bahama as there are more resorts and hotels in the name of Atlantis. They also claim that the streets and the pathways like structures in the coastline seem to be man made. However, scientists and archaeologists found that they are formed naturally. Thus theory is debunked.
- Conspiracy Theory – Atlantis was Island of Pharaohs:
Fact: No, it is not true
After the evolution of the conspiracy theories, one of the conspiracy theorists Robert Graves believed that Atlantis was Island of Pharaohs. It is in the western coast of the Nile Delta which was formed before connecting the mainland to the island. Yet this theory is a failure as no research supported this theory.
- Conspiracy Theory – Cyclades islands is the lost city of Atlantis:
Fact: No, it is not true
Some people and the conspiracy theorist believed that the lost city of Atlantis is located in the Cyclades Islands in the Aegean Sea. People who support this theory claim that the huge volcanic eruption that happened in 1600 BC. The giant volcanic explosion in the middle of many cities and including coastal areas may have wiped out the Atlantis city into the Cyclades islands. Plato described that the stone of Atlantis was different, that is white, black and thick red stone. The three signifies the volcanic rock. Thus it is believed that this theory may be evolved because of these descriptions.
- Conspiracy Theory – Atlantis was sunk by natural disaster:
Fact: No, it is not true
Conspiracy theorists claimed that Atlantis was a continent which is destroyed by a natural disaster. They came up with this idea that the mass land area may have been wiped out by flood or Tsunami around the time of the end of Ice Age. People who lived on that island are claimed that they shifted to different places for survival. Even though this theory may seem convincing, there is no evidence to prove this theory.
- Conspiracy Theory – Atlantis is present in the eyes of Sahara:
Fact: No, it is not true
I don’t even know how much imagination the conspiracy theorists have. As they go out, they could come up with some absurd theories to gain more attention. Most of the conspiracies about the location of the lost city have been around Egypt. They claimed that Atlantis is present in the eyes of Sahara. If the lost city is really in the eyes of Sahara, it is impossible for the archaeologist to witness the structures. Therefore, this theory is debunked due to lack of evidence.
- Conspiracy Theory – Atlantis was engulfed by Bermuda triangle:
Fact: No, it wasn’t
This theory is a pure hoax, as there are claims to support this theory. There is no definite answer to this theory. It may have happened or may not. It is still a mystery. Since the existence of Atlantis has no proof, this theory is declined. Some conspiracies seem to revolve around other conspiracies, as the conspiracy theorists are expertise in creating such links, it is a definite way to give more surprises. As we know there is lots of mystery around the Bermuda Triangle. They added another by claiming that Atlantis was engulfed by the Bermuda triangle.
- Conspiracy Theory – Atlantis is beneath the waters of Japan:
Fact: No, it is not true
Conspiracy theorists believed that Atlantis is present in Asia, after witnessing some strange structures beneath the waters of Japan. Now, many conspiracy theorists believe that they have found the Mythical city “Atlantis” which is in Japan. The structures which is in underground were assumed to be part of Atlantis or it was created by the aliens.
There are still many theories about Atlantis as conspiracy theorists claimed that almost all the places to be Atlantis. Since the truth behind Atlantis is unraveled, many conspiracy theorists will bring even more funny theories to keep public engaged.
The short answer is that it’s a fantasy world. The long answer could be a combination of altitude and thermohaline circulation (ocean currents that transport water of different temperatures, thereby warming certain land masses while cooling others). For example, Montreal and Paris are at roughly the same latitude, but one has a much colder climate than the other. This is due to the Gulf Stream & North Atlantic drift that move warm water towards western Europe, thereby keeping it much warmer than the North American east coast, even though both are at similar latitudes.
I grew up in New Jersey and my grandparents were regulars at Atlantic City. When they died, we went through their old stuff and found a ledger which described how much they won and lost there over the years. We did the math and it turns out had they not gambled there over the years they would have been able to pay for the college tuition of all four of their grandkids. That right there told me all I needed to know about gambling.
I thought it was a really cool idea too. It started up the bay about 4 miles north and has
been traveling for 5 days. It seems like the big incoming tides recently have it floating up
the Patuxent River. Hopefully it makes its way back out to the bay and maybe even into
the Atlantic!
There are several conspiracy theories that correlate to this belief. They range from a
Biblical corollary (Adam & Eve in the garden of Eden was the first, followed by the
world where Atlantis existed, etc.) to an alien reptilian species that lives off of our life
source by imprisoning us using mind control, religion, and war.
At the very least, our cultures and religions have echoed this mythology multiple times in
various places.
