New Atlantis theory

Posted by Micah from ? (66.40.232.22) on Friday, September 21, 2001 at 1:05pm :

A French researcher has published a new theory on the source of Plato's Atlantis tale. Jacques Collina-Girard believes an island near the Straits of Gibraltar was Atlantis until sea-levels rose and flooded the island.

Personally, I still think it was Thera destroyed by a massive volcanic eruption...
