Links to sites about Atlantis

It is the contention of Steve Miller's Fiction Archive that Atlantis is fiction, wholly fiction, and nothing but fiction--hence the presentation of Plato's original descriptions of the Lost Continent as "oldest surviving example of fantasy fiction." Nonetheless, the myriad of sites that exist on the web that feature theories and evidence for the existence of a historical Atlantis make for interesting reading, and we hope to feature the best of them on this page. All the links here were active as of January 2005. We'll check them occassionally, but if you find one or more doesn't work, please notify us.

Steve Miller does not endorse any of these sites, nor does he neccesarily support any of political or religious points of views that may be presented on any of them. The links are presented for the entertainmet and education of those with an interest in the subject of mythic Atlantis. (If you are aware of any sites that are as thourough and creative as the ones listed here already, please let us know via email. We may add it.

Atlantis: Overview and Essays at "The Mysterious and Unexplained"
This is a fairly comprehensive survey of traditional Atlantis theories. The materials here are well organized and easy to digest. From the introduction: "Many people believe the tale to be complete fiction, the creation of a philosopher's imagination used to illustrate an argument. Others believe that the story was inspired by catastrophic events which may have destroyed the Minoan civilization on Crete and Thera. Still others maintain that the story is an accurate representation of a long lost and almost completely forgotten land. What do YOU think?"

Atlantis: The Lost Continent Finally Found
This site presents an overview of the theories and research done by Dr. Arysio Nunes dos Santos, who claims Atlantis was located in the South China Sea. From Dr. Santos' introduction to the site: "Our approach to the problem of Atlantis is basically scientific and down to earth, though we do not refrain from entering the more esoteric aspects of the Occult disciplines in what can be presently divulged."

Jim Allen's Historic Atlantis in Bolivia
The theory presented here is that Atlantis was located in South America. From Mr. Allen's introduction to the site: "Plato�s description exactly fits South America because he describes a level rectangular-shaped plain which he said lay in the centre of the continent, next to the sea and midway along the longest side of the continent. He also described the capital city of Atlantis which was built on a small volcanic island and also called Atlantis. The city lay on the level rectangular plain, five miles from the sea and according to Plato the whole region was high above the level of the Ocean sea, rising sheer out of the ocean sea to a great height on that side of the continent. Thus we have both a lost city of Atlantis as well as a lost continent of Atlantis."

Atlantis at Damanhur.org
A collection of excellent maps and beautiful paintings by Dovilio Brero. A great visualization of the lost continent.

Atlantis: Insights from a Lost Civilization
Shirly Andrews' site to promote her book "Atlantis: Insights from a Lost Civilization." The work combines knowledge from scholars ranging from Plato to Zecharia Sitchin with that from Edgar Cayce to describe the lost continent of Atlantis, often referred to as the lost city of Atlantis. Other topics such as Atlantis in the Caribbean, Lemuria, the crystal skull, the influence of extraterrestrials in prehistory and earth changes are also included in this well-researched book.

The Atlantis Mapping Project
A site for the promotion of Thomas Greanias forthcoming novel "Raising Atlantis" (2002) which looks like it's going to be in the tradition of C.J. Cutliffe Hyne's novel and Plato's work: It takes place in the "real world," with Atlantis having been a real place. The site is very well done, and the weekly newsletters make for neat reading.
