Not true. Many call into question just how much of what Plato claimed to be Socrates' philosophy truly was.

Atlantis as something does seem viable.. Not sure if it would be the Edgar Cayce version (with high technology and all that), but there is evidence for the end of a mini ice age around 9700 BC. See the below link for a nice timeline.

This would correspond well to the 9000 years before the time of Plato / Solon. Solon supposedly visited Egypt around 580 BC, so the 9000 years prior to that (Plato's reported date for the events ending Atlantis)is around 9600 BC, very close to the end of the ice age, which would bring floods. The time line in the link before gives you a sense of how much Plato and Solon are to our time than the time of Atlantis, and how close that timeline fits.

But I'll be damned if I know what Atlantis is, let alone where it was.

Mysterious Universe has a short article commenting on the YouTube video, by Sequoyah Kennedy:

She points out that there's some uncertainty about what the stadion - the ancient unit of length specified by Plato - represents in today's terms. Though looking at Wikipedia and the introduction of a 1987 paper cited by it, although a range of different values may have been in use at different places (and times?), the value of 607 feet assumed in the video is reasonable, as it agrees with the length of the stadium at Athens, from about the same time and place as Plato:

This video makes some very fascinating and intriguing claims ~ that the ancient city of Atlantis, mentioned by Plato in some of his works, is really the Richat Structure. He goes over Plato's descriptions of Atlantis, and compares them both to pictures created by artists, and images of the Richat Structure as seen from Google Earth and different angles of it. The similarities are very striking.

Video contents handily debunked by Jason Colavito:

  • There is no evidence of human settlement anywhere on or around the structure. It was not a city.
  • The rings are not located anywhere near the sea, and it would take a powerful tsunami to flood two hundred miles from the coast.
  • As should be obvious, the Richat Structure is not underwater and therefore did not disappear beneath the waves never to be seen again. There is no evidence of it being underwater in the past 10,000 years.

This is How We Know Atlantis Existed…AND Where – Lost Ancient Civilization Hidden in Plain Sight (2)

Quote:Make no mistake, the Richat Structure matches far more aspects of the description of the lost city of Atlantis than any other proposed site from around the world, including the most significant and precise details described by Plato. The Eye of the Sahara is the most likely location for Atlantis, and should be excavated immediately.

If you have any questions, I think you find that this video attempts to answer them as much as possible.
