According to references that I read, atlantis may indeed have a point in the past it's there. There are researchers who say that it is the first Indonesian atlantis. No less than 30 matching characteristics between Atlantis by Plato and conditions of Indonesia. For example, in tropical areas, which is always hot even in the Ice Age. Fraught with all kinds of beauty and richness of the vast lands and beautiful fields, valleys and mountains; gemstones and various metals, woods fragrance, fragrances, and dyes are high quality, rivers, lakes, lakes, and abundant irrigation, agriculture productive with two crops per year; palace-studded gold, silver walls, and fortresses, elephants and all kinds of beasts.Atlantis comes from the Sanskrit Atala, which means heaven or observation tower (watch tower), Atalaia (Potugis), Atalaya (Spanish). Plato affirms that area at the time Atlantis was the center of world civilization in the form of culture, natural resources, science / technology, and others. Plato states that the location of Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean now. In his time, he insisted that the earth is flat and surrounded by an ocean (ocean) as a whole.Ocean comes from the Sanskrit word meaning ashayana surrounds thoroughly. The opinion was later challenged by experts in the future such as Copernicus, Galilei-Galileo, Einstein, and Stephen Hawking.
Santos differs with Plato about the location of Atlantis. Brazilian Scientists argues, that at the time of the eruption of the volcano, causing the ice to melt and flow into the ocean so that the extent of increase. Water and mud derived from volcanic ash and the burden on the ocean bottom, resulting in tremendous pressure on the earth's crust at the bottom of the ocean, especially in pantaibenua. This pressure resulted in an earthquake. This earthquake was strengthened further by the mountains in a row that erupted later and cause a devastating tsunami waves. Santos called Heinrich Events.
In an effort to express an opinion based on the history of the world, it seems an oversight that Plato has made two, one on the shape / position of the earth which he said flatly. Secondly, regarding the location of the continent of Atlantis which he said was in the Atlantic Ocean which is opposed by Santos. United States military research in the Atlantic region proved unable to find traces of that lost continent. Therefore it is not arbitrary is proverb that says, "Amicus Plato, sed magical Amica veritas."Meaning, "I am pleased to Plato, but I prefer the truth."According to the writings of Plato, the conference finally agreed on 24 criteria that should satisfy the requirements of the existence of geographic location of Atlantis, namely:
