I heard that Ireland has had a advanced society in ancient times, and landmarks like stonehedge etc etc proved it.

Where did Plato get the idea for atlantis anyways? :thinking:

umm..stonehenge is in england.

and plato heard the tale of it when he was young, during a conversation of elders.


best theory i've heard so far. some of the shit that people come up with for it is seriously stupid. considering this was an ancient story even during plato's time, its easy to understand that it was embellished over the centuries.

no, its a new one for me. its probably never been thought of because its much farther north of the pillars of hercules than you would expect, plus its still, well, there.

Its a far fetched theory but possibly one of the more plausible ones I have heard. I hope they have some more details on this soon.

I like this theory.

Now I can truly say "Shut up, bitch. I'm from Atlantis."
