Quote:Has anyone reading this not heard of the legend of Atlantis?
And have you not heard of the reality of Helike?

Quote:In 373 BC, a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami destroyed and submerged the ancient Greek city of Helike, on the southwest shore of the Gulf of Corinth. The sunken city gradually silted over until it disappeared without a trace. Ancient writers ascribed the disaster to the wrath of Poseidon, god of earthquakes and the sea.
Plato at the time was about 55 years old and living in nearby Athens. Gee. I WONDER where he got his inspiration from?
