    This new theory has Atlantis not in the Atlantic ocean, but in the mudflats within Spain itself.http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/us_tsunami_atlantis

    I saw this and shrugged my shoulders.  I thought Atlantis was beyond the Pillars of Heracles (Gibraltar).  I mean wouldn't the ancients know more about it than us?

    terra australis incognitaIs it possible this could be Plato's Atlantis? Does anyone know the primary sources of this Australis? I think it's Aristotle and Ptolemy. How do they compare to what Plato wrote?

    I think Plato mentions it in his Timaeus and one other text.
