Edgar Cayce, the American "Dozing Prophet,"

Donnelly offered no exploratory proof to substantiate his hypothesis, yet it was a distributed accomplishment for quite a long while in spite of scorching surveys. Enthusiasm for Atlantis has persevered - as the late Disney activity "Atlantis" illustrates.

Edgar Cayce, the American "Dozing Prophet," imagined the past and future and cured disease via phone until he kicked the bucket in 1941. Over the range of 20 years he alluded to Atlantis 700 times. His most well known expectation was that Atlantis would "rise again in the Caribbean Sea in 1967 or 1968."

Disclosure of undersea rock developments taking after straight-line "streets" in 1968 - off the Bahamas island of Bimini - was hailed by Cayce fans as archeological proof of Atlantis.

Geologist demand the arrangements of gigantic, square pieces are the suffocated stays of a shoreline - additionally discovered somewhere else - when the oceans were much lower amid the last Ice Age.

Of more prominent believability is the hypothesis progressed in 1960 by Angelos Galanopoulos, a legitimate Greek seismologist. He battles Solon confounded the Egyptian pictograph of a lotus blossom symbolizing 1,000 with that of a rope loop demonstrating 100.

In this way, all references by Solon to time, separation and size ought to be diminished by a component of ten.

Under Galanopoulos' scale, the demolition of Atlantis happened 900 years before Plato's opportunity, not 9,000 - that is, around 1600 B.C. The enormous size of Atlantis and its historic point elements are diminished to more credible measurements.

Moreover, Galanopoulos claims that Plato's reference to the Pillars of Hercules no doubt allude to the Peloponnesus in Greece where Hercules performed his Twelve Labors.

It had for quite some time been realized that the old Island of Thera - now called Santorini - once was a torpid spring of gushing lava that blasted viciously in the faint past wiping out a city there. Later, Greek anglers fabricated a town, Akrotiri, on the leftover edge.

Unearthings at Thera started in 1967 are as yet going on - through layers of white, dark and red stone. A wonderfully safeguarded town is being revealed.
