This documents the work of an English cartographer/satellite photo interpreter named Jim Allen - who has taken the two dialogues that Plato wrote about Atlantis literally. He has used modern technology and his understanding of ancient measurement systems to locate and area of the world that he believes matches Plato's physical descriptions of Atlantis.

In a nutshell, he places the capitol of the empire in Bolivia - and he believes that the entire continent of South America is, in fact, Atlantis. He does have an interesting theory - and he has found some remarkable evidence to strengthen his claim.

I saw a show about this on the history channel and they made a good case for Atlantis being in South America but that would make Cayce wrong and also it would make the people who say Long Island a remnant of Atlantis wrong. So I tend to believe it is near the Bahamas.

Richard,

The Bahamas are above South America and east of Central America - i don't think Atlantis was quite small, could it be possible that it did occupy such a vast area?

[Richard]

In the show I watched they showed all of Atlantis was in South America. Cayce said Atlantis was in the area of Bimini, near the Bahamas.

Ok fair enough, i was just curious at all the contradicting info, cheers

Researchers have found a few good candidates that they feel are Atlantis. One show I watched they feel it is between Cyprus and Syria.

Other researchers say it is in Antarctica.

I have to admit the people who feel it is between Cyprus and Syria seem the most convincing but I still lean towards believing Cayce.
