AtlantisMerlin Burrows, a firm of satellite experts, say they have spotted remnants which match the descriptions in Plato. The firm promises that it “find anything that has been lost, forgotten or hidden with pin-point accuracy.”Bruce Blackburn of Merlin Burrows told Yahoo News in late November 2018, “We’ve got a body of evidence that we’ve presented, and we have a whole host of proof points, and we’re quite happy for people to take a viewpoint.”Blackburn says, “We’ve released the information, we’ve got some films, and we accept that there will be people who think, ‘What a load of rubbish.'

Plato from Raphael’s The School of AthensAtlantis served as an example of a society that had become corrupted by its material wealth, advanced technology, and military might.It should be remembered that Plato wrote that Atlantis’s founders were half human and half god.According to National Geographic, Plato wrote the founders “created a utopian civilization and became a great naval power. Their home was made up of concentric islands separated by wide moats and linked by a canal that penetrated to the center. The lush islands contained gold, silver, and other precious metals and supported an abundance of rare, exotic wildlife.”Plato also wrote that the gods destroyed Atlantis in a cataclysmic event.It was seen as pure fable although a few people wondered. In 1627, Francis Bacon published a utopian novel titled “The New Atlantis,” depicting a politically and scientifically advanced society on a previously unknown oceanic island.In 1882, when a Minnesota congressman named Ignatius Donnelly (1831-1901)published the book Atantis: The Antediluvian World, which claimed that Atlantis existed.His book touched off a frenzy of theories, which late in the 20th century merged with some New Age beliefs.The site that has had the most supporters is the Greek island of Santorini, a half-submerged caldera created by a massive 2nd century B.C. Volcanic eruption whose tsunami may have hastened the collapse of the Minoan civilization on Crete.
Disney's animators once again go under the sea, this time to discover the lost city of Atlantis. Shame they didn't find an engaging plot while they were down there. Sep 06, 2012 The City / island existed long enough for many rulers / kings to develop it. The lost city of Atlantis had a canal from the sea to an inner lagoon. Three kinds of stone, one red, one black and one white were quarried on the Island of Atlantis.

1914: Milo Thatch, grandson of the great Thaddeus Thatch works in the boiler room of a museum. He knows that Atlantis was real, and he can get there if he has the mysterious Shephards journal, which can guide him to Atlantis. But he needs someone to fund a voyage. His employer thinks he's dotty, and refuses to fund any crazy idea. He returns home to his apartment and finds a woman there. She takes him to Preston B. Whitmore, an old friend of his Grandfathers.
He gives him the shepherds journal, a submarine and a 5 star crew. They travel through the Atlantic ocean, face a large lobster called the Leviathan, and finally get to Atlantis. But does the Atlantis crew have a lust for discovery, or something else? Here's what I knew about 'Atlantis' before watching it:. It's officially Disney's first animated sci-fi adventure. I'm not sure how accurate that is (I like to nitpick) but it made me curious first time I heard it described.
The preview looked, for the most part, damn cool. Evidently, it was also 'too cryptic' according to some critics after the fact. It apparently did SO badly that Disney said, 'Screw it, let's re-release 'Spy Kids'. So, with all that said, how is the movie? I'm a sucker for animated fantasy that involves stirring music and rampant special effects anyway, but 'Atlantis' goes all out. It's a throwback to all the CGI eye-candy shots in 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Aladdin', so much so that it's almost an effects animator's Best-Of Show. The characters maybe aren't that memorable (except, perhaps, for the ship's medical officer), and the plot's a little dull, but this isn't a movie you watch for the plot.
Here's a controversy that bothers me. The 'failure' (as in, it 'only' took in, like, five-hundred-million or something; I know animators who'd kill to see fifteen bucks of that) of this movie compared to the popularity of 'Shrek' and 'Monsters Inc.' Has been seen as evidence of the death of traditional animation. I don't think that's true. How do you account for the 'South Park' movie? What about 'Final Fantasy'?

Really, the story and the artistry is everything, not the method. I don't know what Disney's comeback movie will be like, but I don't think they're out of the picture yet.
