A scientist from Sweden has put forth an unusual theory about where Atlantis is:
It's just off the coast of England, and is now called Ireland.
I don't know if this theory will hold up in the scientific community, but it's a facinating idea for discussion and for works of science-fiction.
According to myth, Atlantis was an advanced civilization that existed some 11,000+ years ago, and was destroyed by some kind of natural disaster that caused the entire island to sink beneath the surface of the ocean.
Many movies have been made about Atlantis being discovered on the bottom of the Atlantic, and many researchers have set out to discover the location of Atlantis. Predictibly, all efforts have failed.
This theory may be laughed at, but I think someone will write some great works of fiction about this idea!
What do I think? I don't know if I buy into the scientific part of the theory, but if it's proven to be true, it could change some parts of western history. That hasn't happened in quite some time. What a cool theory!
What do you think?
