Exactly. You forgot one thing though: everything has to do with everything, so feel free to point at the most absurd connections you can think of.

You talk drivel, MnB. The only thing that makes sense in your argument is the holistic approach.

Nibiru? I am not 100% certain it exists, but who knows?


If so, that could be where all the Higgs bosons are.

I am very fond of holistic drivel. That's why I read your posts in this thread so fondly.

Both quotes contain drivel indeed.

Yes. And the Moon does not exist. And you have a nest of elephants in your backyard. And Deimar was the vambire-reincarnation of Blackmar.

According to the legend, there were not one, but three Great Floods.

And legends are always literally true. It's plainly obvious that these three Great Floods took place between America and Europe; after all the Greeks already sailed the world 10 000 years ago, before they actually arrived in Greece. The three Great Floods were instigated by local vambires, who later reincarnated in chessplayers like Blackmar. That's why losing to Deimar felt like being flooded while your blood was sucked away.
The civilization on Atlantis was planted there by aliens living on Niburu.
Long live the holistic approach!

What I consulted was books in English and Russian languages. Also, I have extensive knowledge of the world's legends. Many cultures speak of a Great Flood centuries past. Assyrian records talk of kings who ruled before the Great Flood. So do Sumerian records.

The Greek legends talk of the Ogygean Flood. According to the legend, there were not one, but three Great Floods. Apparently, the last one happened in the reign of King Ogyges, and is named after him.
Plato talks about the ancestors of Greeks resisting the Atlantaeans, so it may be this King who was their leader.

Having consulted the Necronomicon I can attest to all this being true.  Realising it was a scientific work cost me my sanity.  There are some things man is not meant to know.

I suggest you check geology, pal. You will find that what is now underwater used to be land about 12,000 years ago. Following the sinking of islands into the sea, land became water.

You are partly right, Smyslov. Atlantis was originally a continent-sized island, located between America and Europe in what is now the Atlantic Ocean. Following the First Great Flood of 50,000 BC, the island split into smaller ones (possibly by earthquakes). The ten islands that Plato describes were the islands of Atlantis.

Second Great Flood was in 28,000 BC. The Third Great Flood, that of the Bible and Gilgamesh, is that of 12,000 BC.

In India, there is knowledge of the sunken Kumari Kamdan civilization. It was located where the Indian Ocean is now.

In the Philippines, legend has it that these islands once belonged to the sunken civilization of Lemuria. It sank 66,000 years ago.

The Lemurians were hermaphrodites. In fact, ancient legend says that the Lemurians were destroyed when they discovered sex. In the days of Lemuria, spanning millions of years BC to about 66,000 BC, there was no division into sexes. According to ancient Indian sources, there was an individual with the attributes of both sexes.

Other sources mention ancient Lemurians as hermaphrodite apes who laid eggs as a means of reproduction.

To this very day, there 2 colonies of Lemurians still in existence: Agartha and Shamballa.

Much knowledge about humanity's early history has been lost. It is only now being rediscovered.

Mnb, good luck convincing someone that he doesnt have a nest of elephants in his backyard
  

If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

Just a quick word on the flood stories of the Epic of Gilgamesh and Genesis:

They both refer to the same event. This shows that the people who wrote Genesis came from the same part of the world and knew the same stories as the Epic of Gilgamesh. 

Floods were both common and terrible events in Mesopotamia. The Nile's floods are relatively predictable and are celebrated in the mythology of Egypt. The Tigris and Euphrates' floods were far less predictable and more catastrophic. The whole world would seem to have flooded in the river valley culture of ancient Sumeria. 

There is absolutely no link between the flood stories in Gilgamesh or Genesis and anything that Plato wrote about. Plato was relating a story that was a myth even in his own day. But since it was Plato who wrote about it, twits have come to believe Atlantis was real place ever since. While it's very difficult to prove a negative, I'm nearly 100% certain there was no Atlantis. There may have been an island civilisation much like Knossos on ancient Crete, but nothing like the mythological Atlantis that haunts the dreams of some people here.

Bunk. Plato was writing what his ancestor, Solon, was told by Egyptian priests on his visit to Egypt some 200+ years before.

You were there, when the Egyptian priests told Solon? Like Deimar did not personally tell me if he was a vambire?

Gambit wrote on 07/20/11 at 19:26:58:
Diodorus Siculus also speaks about Atlantis.

Yeah, Diodorus of Sicily could know. He only lived 350 years after Plato. Why don't you bring up yourself as the ultimate proof?

Gambit wrote on 07/20/11 at 19:26:58:
So does ancient Egyptian mythology

Yeah, and not so ancient Dutch mythology tells that Blackmar and Deimar were vambires. Not so ancient American mythology tells that the Moon does not exist. As evidence that's just as strong.

Gambit wrote on 07/20/11 at 19:26:58:
and the legends of American Indians, in North and South America.

Weird. I happen to live in South America and to know a few Indians. Nobody mentions Atlantis in their oral stories.

Gambit wrote on 07/20/11 at 19:26:58:
The Epic of Gilgamesh also talks about a Great Flood. Gilgamesh was a Sumerian hero.

So do a thousand others, probably because there were thousands of Great Floods around the world at various times.

The Moon does not exist.
Atlantis existed.
Deimar is the vambire-reincarnation of Blackmar.
It's all bunk indeed. Or none of it is.

Yep. According to the same method of research the Moon does not exist. And Blackmar and Deimar were vambires. Matter of consistency.

Fromper wrote on 07/20/11 at 14:20:00:
Actually, archaeologists (sp?) have found evidence of major flooding events throughout history, any one of which may have inspired that story.

If you mean the Great Biblical Flood:

http://www.livius.org/fa-fn/flood/flood1.html

If you mean Atlantis:

http://www.skepsis.nl/atlantis.html

alas in Dutch. I have translated the first lines.

Quote:
Atlantis is no lost empire, no cradle of civilization. Atlantis is a disease (just like vambires, MNb), says Paul Jordan, and lazy thinkers are its best victims.

The rest of the article explains that Atlantis is a nice joke from Plato, which indeed makes victims until today.
We have to thank Plato that we have fun in this thread!
