There are many people who claim that Atlantis was super advanced civilization which possessed super powerful and advanced technologies (like flying sources, etc).
It is very easy to disprove these claims.
First of all, let’s raise a simple question: how do we know that Atlantis existed, what is the source of such information?
The only original source of information about the existence of Atlantis is the writings of Plato and that’s it – there are no more original sources about Atlantis whatsoever. Today there are myriads of books written about Atlantis, however if you will carefully trace back one author citing another author then you will end up with Plato. Thousands of authors are citing each other making false impression that there are thousands of sources about the existence of Atlantis, however in reality the only original source of information about the existence of Atlantis is the writings of Plato and that’s it.
Atlantis theme is a very good classical example to what colossal scale can reach the game “broken telephone” – Plato wrote several lines about Atlantis, then somebody took the story of Plato and exaggerated and distorted it, then some another man exaggerated and distorted it even more, then some third man exaggerated and distorted it even more, and so on, and in the end you get the chain of thousands of authors who are citing each other making false impression that there are thousands of sources about the existence of Atlantis.

Let’s analyze the claims that Atlantis was super advanced civilization which possessed super powerful and advanced technologies (like flying sources, etc).
Let’s read the original source about Atlantis, let’s read the writings of Plato. Plato writings tell us that Atlanteans had conquered and occupied a lot of territories, and Atlanteans tried to conquer Athens, however Athenians were able to repel the Atlantean attack, defeated Atlanteans and freed other nations from Atlantean occupation. It is important to note that at these ancient times Athenians possessed very primitive technologies, which raises a simple question: if Atlanteans were unable to defeat and conquer primitive Athenians then what was the development level of Atlanteans? It is quite obvious that all claims about Atlanteans possessing super advanced technologies (like flying sources, etc) are false, because primitive Athenians were able to beat Atlanteans.

There are a lot of discussions regarding where Atlantis was located. Researchers are searching for the remnants of Atlantis in various parts of the globe – near Antarctic, near Japan, near Bermuda, etc. However let’s look more closely what Plato wrote about Atlanteans. Plato wrote that “Atlanteans had conquered the parts of Libya within the Pillars of Hercules as far as Egypt and the European continent as far as Tyrrhenia, and subjected its people to slavery”.
Which leads to a simple conclusion – if Atlanteans did really exist then the traces of Atlanteans must be present in Libya and in European continent, because Atlanteans were present in these territories according to Plato writings. However so far nobody has ever found any trace of Atlanteans neither in Libya nor in Europe.
Which leads to a simple conclusion – if Atlanteans did really exist then these Atlanteans were some sort of primitive stone-age tribe which left no traces of any technological achievement.
