		<description>Have you done an article on this &#039;Edgar Cayce&#039; guy?
He sounds like a pretty damn interesting person, I read up a bit about him, and from what the &#039;all mighty internet&#039; tells me quite a few of his predictions came true.</description>

		<description>for shure, we have technology to even see whats there without diggin up all that stuff. So why dont we do it it would be interesting and not very hard to do so. I have always been interested in the topic of Atlantis and would love to know if it exists. Hopefully some day we do find something that says it does exsist and hearing this would make me very interested.</description>

		<description>why havent they done an archaeological dig of some sort? that would be a start. couldnt they drill down to see if anything exists further in the depths? good grief, it&#039;s not like we dont have the technology???</description>

		<description>[quote]Berkana said: &quot;Pardon my repetition of a comment I made elsewhere, but I would like to point out that it is a hypocritical double standard to accept the inference of inteligent origins behind the SETI &quot;Wow! signal&quot; and the &quot;Strange Road to Atlantis&quot; as scientific inferences and to reject the inteligent design found in all cells. The complexity and improbability of the structures found in even the simplest of cells easily outranks &quot;the Wow! signal&quot; and the &quot;road to Atlantis&quot; by many orders of magnitude. If it is not pseudoscience to infer that there is intelligence behind what is observed in the &quot;Wow!&quot; SETI signal, and if it is not pseudoscience to infer that there is intelligence behind the &quot;road to Atlantis&quot;, then argument that the inference of intelligent design is not scientific fails, because the inference is used all the time in the sciences. 

No archaeologist looking at petroglyphs and wall paintings would infer that such things came about by errosion through the action of wind and water; they would identify such things as resulting from something intelligent, no matter how simple they may be. If the archaeologist is not denounced as practicing pseudoscience, neither should the biologist who concludes that the improbable processes and structures he observes is the result of intelligence.

(Let me also pre-emptively address the challenge that natural selection could account for the complexity involved in even the most basic functions of life: it can&#039;t happen, and there is a logical null-proof for this.)&quot;[/quote]

		<description>...has anyone ever heard of &#039;Limestone Payment&#039; or &#039;Limestone Streets&#039;, you can see it all over North Alabama... in the gulfs  (mountain vernacular, for canyon) and caves of the area, there are large expanses of angular limestone blocks, very tightly interconnected... these look surprisingly the same, as the picture in this article... a great number of which, are more tightly interconnected than these ... the formations are all at right angles, and arraigned in various patterns and sizes.

Most of  the good-ole-boys  (whitewater paddlers - hiking for whitewater runs in the summer and cavers) throughout the state have seen these inter-connected limestone blocks.

		<description>To my non-expert knowledge, the &quot;Bimini Road&quot; leads to other structures that altogether have been theorized as being a port/ harbor type thing. The Mediterranean site/s of Atlantis...

[quote]Arcangel said: &quot;As far as the Atlantis site goes I believe someone lays claim to it being in the Mediterranean Sea although that is also yet unproven. A site there, just unproven as it being Atlantis.&quot;[/quote]

... I have heard of are the islands of Santorini (exploded volcano) and Crete (were the Minoans the fabled Atlantians?). Although if you look under the Atlantis entry on Wikipedia you will find many more Mediterranean sites as well. Altogether though, the evidence I have seen yet so far doesn&#039;t seem rock-solid for any one location as being the true Atlantis as purported in myth and legend.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Here in the Philippines where I live, children during my elementary school days had this legend. It basically said that if you had to cram for an exam, all you had to do was place the stuff that you had to learn under your pillow while you slept, and by the following morning, you&#039;d have memorized all you needed for your test.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
While the story about the purported road to Atlantis is intriguing and all, what really piqued my interest was how Edgar Cayce&#039;s story about memorizing any book he placed under his pillow while he slept could have actually been the source of this legend from my childhood. DI indeed!

(PS: For those who are wondering, I did try to &quot;study&quot; for a test using this method, and all I got to show for it was a bunch of crumpled notebooks and not-so-stellar marks. I guess I&#039;m just not made out of the same stuff as Cayce... Oh well...)&lt;/p&gt;</description>
