Links to sites about Atlantis

It is the contention of Steve Miller's Fiction Archive that Atlantis is fiction, wholly fiction, and nothing but fiction--hence the presentation of Plato's original descriptions of the Lost Continent as "oldest surviving example of fantasy fiction." Nonetheless, the myriad of sites that exist on the web that feature theories and evidence for the existence of a historical Atlantis make for interesting reading, and we hope to feature the best of them on this page. All the links here were active as of June 2010. We'll check them occassionally, but if you find one or more doesn't work, please notify us.

Steve Miller does not endorse any of these sites, nor does he neccesarily support any of political or religious points of views that may be presented on any of them. The links are presented for the entertainmet and education of those with an interest in the subject of mythic Atlantis. If you are aware of any sites that are as thourough and creative as the ones listed here already, please let us know via email. We may add it.
 

Atlantis: Overview and Essays at "The Mysterious and Unexplained"
This is a fairly comprehensive survey of traditional Atlantis theories. The materials here are well organized and easy to digest. From the introduction: "Many people believe the tale to be complete fiction, the creation of a philosopher's imagination used to illustrate an argument. Others believe that the story was inspired by catastrophic events which may have destroyed the Minoan civilization on Crete and Thera. Still others maintain that the story is an accurate representation of a long lost and almost completely forgotten land. What do YOU think?"

Atlantis: The Lost Continent Finally Found
This site presents an overview of the theories and research done by Dr. Arysio Nunes dos Santos, who claims Atlantis was located in the South China Sea. From Dr. Santos' introduction to the site: "Our approach to the problem of Atlantis is basically scientific and down to earth, though we do not refrain from entering the more esoteric aspects of the Occult disciplines in what can be presently divulged."

The Atlantis Mapping Project
A site for the promotion of Thomas Greanias' novel "Raising Atlantis" which is in the tradition of C.J. Cutliffe Hyne's novel and Plato's work: It takes place in the "real world," with Atlantis having been a real place. The site is very well done, and the weekly newsletters make for neat reading.

Movie Review: Hercules and the Captive Women (1963)
The legendary demigod (played by Reg Parks) travels to Atlantis to stop the island's evil queen from creating an army of supermen with with to conquer the world. One of the better Hercules movies ever made, and a great use of Atlantis.

Movie Review: Mistress of Atlantis (1932)
A French officer comes upon a secretive underground society in the middle of the North African desert. A great early fantasy film that deals with Atlantean civilization surviving to modern times.
