Atlantis Rising

This doco is nothing but stupid speculation. They are looking at all the wrong places, trying to make unfitting pieces of puzzle fit. I went into this documentary film with great anticipation only to be disappointed.

Being in the Naval engineering profession I know people who have all the answers Cameron is looking for. They have tried tooth and nail to contact him and did not even receive a short reply as courtesy. Arrogance and celebrity-godship has blinded James Cameron to the point he is only in touch with celebrities and so called celeb-experts.

Used to be a fan of James Cameron; no longer.

This is an amazing documentary. No matter what people say. Very important and to me all new knowledge. I ended up so curious and not to long after that very sad that there was no next episode. Felt like an open ending. Dig it up, show us more.

Georgeos Diaz Montexano is the absolute genious behind all this. He spent 25 years studying the tale of atlantis and found out atlantis is not just a made up story created by Plato. People fail to understand why this doccumentary is diferent to others made about atlantis before. The exact location of atlantis was given to us by Plato. But it wasn't until georgeos read carefully into it that all this information could be known. This documentary is just a tease of what's coming in the next part... and wether people fail to see how important all this is, it will make history because this people have found atlantis for good. And all it takes is the world to study the works of georgeos to understand how all this is plausible. And I hope it happens sooner or later. Depends on how prejudiced the people are

Hollywood legend James Cameron and filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici set out on an adventure to find the lost city of Atlantis using Greek philosopher Plato as a virtual treasure map.

And it's not that they found Atlantis, the lost city, once the legendary fictional city of Plato, but it actually existed one day, well at least that's what the evidence points to, I'm very happy, because I was rooting for the success of the troupe, and that that madness, violence, wouldn't it be a waste of money and time... That story, right, a dream in the mind, and a backpack on the back and a lot of willpower to carry it out, and here we have the reward... I liked it...

Other then bringing on John Cameron for a cameo almost all the information is a repeat or rehash of the most probable theories on the fall of ATLANTIS. The most plausible of them being that the Minoan Island Trading Empire on THERA, now SANTORINI was built upon a dormant Volcano. This erupted with a massive explosion and venting of the caldera which subsequently collapsed. Thus creating a massive Tsunami which inundated the eastern Mediterranean. This occurred sometime during the 16th Centuries B.C.E. The eruption took some time to develop its full fury, so the Island appears to have been evacuated prior to the major eruption. The eruption on the Volcanic Explosivity Index was at the level Six (6), possibly as high as a Seven (7).

There are several other candidates, starting with MALTA, then keep moving West. Even beyond the PILLARS OF HERCULES (Straits Of Gibraltar). To take that theory seriously you would have to believe that ATLANTIS was best represented by George Pal's ATLANTIS; The Lost Continent (1961). A enjoyable fantasy film, but hardly science. If you have seen the other documentaries on ATLANTIS you might want to skip this one. If not watch it. Those who have, watch the movie instead. Its hokey, but fun.
