After the Dinosaurs? Dude, Atlantis is a story. Nothing more. It was meant to be a template for his vision of a perfect society. For you to argue about what era it existed is about as smart as arguing how big Noah's Ark was. I think most scholars will back me up in my thinking.

My argument is that a highly evolved civilization like Atlantis could have truly existed. Could it have been the one Plato saw in his busy mind? That's very possible. Plato's vision of the when and where it happend? Not so likely... unless you believe in Greek Gods and all the other madness that surrounded his idea.

Still I say anything is possible a long time ago. A city like Atlantis could have existed a long long time ago. Much longer than 11k years though. I think our perception of how and when intelligent life existed or could have existed on this planet is waay too short time-wise. There's lots of years, cycles of life and possible origins of life to play with.

To think that Atlantis is 10,000 years old and all the technological wonders that they had somehow didn't trickle down to anyone else on Earth is ludicrous. If something like that existed it goes back many years. Long enough for the technology and the civilization to become extinct and forgotten.

But hey, maybe it was just 11 k years ago. The Japanese had to have come from somewhere. You don't create great hardware companies like Sony, look as different as they do and enjoy blowing eels out your ass if you don't have a different kinda highly evolved yet self destructive lineage.

So, anyway, Aico tell me, did it rain for 40 days and 40 nights or was it 39 days and 40 nights? Please, break that down for me since you have the hard facts of real history events such as these.
