AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the existence and location of Atlantis, primarily referencing Plato's accounts, which suggest it was a powerful civilization that vanished. While some speculate that Atlantis may have been based on real places like the Minoan civilization or volcanic eruptions in the Mediterranean, there is no conclusive evidence to support its historical existence. Various theories propose locations ranging from the Caribbean to the Andes, but skepticism remains due to a lack of archaeological findings linking these sites to advanced ancient cultures. The conversation also touches on the impact of climate changes and geological events that could have influenced the Atlantis narrative. Overall, the myth of Atlantis continues to intrigue, with many considering it a blend of historical fact and fiction.

Atlantis was said to be outside the straights of Gibraltar. Of course there is nothing there but the atlantic ocean.

when sea level was lower during the last ice age there would have a straight between Italy and Libya. I wonder if atlantis was simply an island beyond that straight.
