The Quest for Atlantis in the Bahamas and the Caribbean | Lora Little | Origins Conference 2016
The next Origins Conference is on November 16th 2019 at Steiner House, London. Early-bird tickets available at. Dr. Lora Little presents her and Greg Little's extraordinary underwater discoveries in Bahaman waters. These include harbours, quays and architectural structures that might have been constructed before the dramatic rise in sea-levels following the end of the last Ice Age. One structure is of special interest. This is Brown’s Ruins, south of Bimini, which could constitute evidence not only of Plato’s lost island continent of Atlantis, but also of a massive cataclysm that drowned the region following a comet impact around 10,800 BCE
Dr. Lora Little is a psychotherapist, counsellor, diver, explorer, conference administrator, and a member of the ARE’s Board of Trustees, working closely with the Edgar Cayce Foundation. She is also the co-author of a number of books including The Lost Hall of Records (2000), Mound Builders: Edgar Cayce’s Forgotten Record of Ancient America (2001), Ancient South America (2002); Secrets of the Ancient World (2003), and Edgar Cayce’s Atlantis (2006).

10. It’s the Island of Santorini
A common view is that Atlantis was actually part of Santorini, a small island in the East Mediterranean that was partly-destroyed by the mighty Volcano of Thera in 1646 BC. Yeah, a looong time ago. Geologists have suggested that if you reconstruct the island of Santorini, you can see that this complete version, before it was destroyed by the volcano, used to be Plato’s mysterious island of legend!
9. The Black Sea
Some are happy to believe that Atlantis was just a made up story of legend. But others believe it was a real place. Not only that, but it was actually something else. The theory of Atlantis being located in the Black Sea region is a great example of this. It all centers on the rise of ocean levels following the last Ice Age.
8. Under Antarctica
Atlantis is usually believed to have somewhere warm, possibly around the Mediterranean, and you’d probably need your sunscreen (if it had been invented yet). However an American historian thought the truth was very different. And colder! Prof. Charles A Hapgood went on record in the 1950s as believing the mythical island was in fact, part of Antarctica.
7. Is It Based on Truth?
Atlantis is often portrayed as being the perfect society, a peaceful utopia that was very technologically advanced. However, if you look at where the legend started, in Plato’s dialogues written in 330 BC, he describes a place that is just like any other.
According to him, it was a technologically advanced society that was wealthy, and had a very powerful military but it was also corrupt. He claims that Atlantis battled against the city of Athens who came out the hero.
6. It was founded by Lemurians
An old idea about Atlantis is that it’s connected to the lost continent of Lemuria. Lemuria was believed to be located in the Indian or Pacific oceans but their continent sunk due to volcanic activity. They were beings who could travel between dimensions by altering the matter in their bodies. Plate tectonic theory and the existence of other continents strongly discount that this ever existed.
5. Lost in the Bermuda Triangle
Plato talks about how Atlantis was swallowed by the sea in a single day. Even so, you’d think that over the centuries someone would have stumbled on something concrete to prove the island existed right? Well this kind of happened in the late 1960s.
4. It’s in the Bahamas
If you’re in the United States then Atlantis may be closer than you think. To be more precise it could be 50 miles east of Miami! There lies the island of Bimini, part of a chain of islands in the Bahamas. Just 20 feet (6m) under the water there are some mysterious stones which could show the existence of Plato’s fabled kingdom.
3. Founded by Aliens
You know I couldn’t leave this theory out, since so many people out there actually believe this stuff, no thanks to Ancient Aliens on the History Channel! Supposedly aliens landed on our planet in its infancy and helped in the development of our ancient cultures, one of which was Atlantis.
2. It’s in Morocco
A German computer genius named Michael Hübner came up with a unique approach to finding Atlantis in 2008 when he gave a presentation at the Atlantis Conference in Athens. Others had taken an archaeological approach or used mysticism to locate Plato’s fantasy island.
1.Plato Made It Up
I’m sad to say that the most realistic theory is that Atlantis was made up by Plato, the Athenian philosopher who first told the world about it. Plato lived between 424-328 BC. The legendary island with an advanced civilization was described in his Dialogues titled ‘Timaeus’ and ‘Critias’ which were written around 330 BC.

Bimini is a district of the Bahamas and consist of two main islands
Bimini is a district of the Bahamas and consist of two main islands located 50-miles east of Florida. Bimini is surrounded by shallow reefs near shore, the depth increases to 80 to 100 feet before dropping into the abyss of the Gulf Stream. Bimini is a group of small islands in the Bahamas. Bimini is only 50 miles east of Miami Beach, Florida. Bimini has three main islands: North Bimini and South Bimini. These coral islands are small, only 7 miles long and only 200 yards wide at their narrowest. Perched at the west end of the Bahamas Bank, Bimini is surrounded by shallow water (only 20 to 30 feet deep) to the north, south, and east. To the west, the Gulf Stream current flows north through the deep water between Miami and Bimini, where the ocean is over 6000 feet deep. The Gulf Stream brings hundreds of marine animals near to the shores of Bimini.
Regions[edit]
Bimini district of the Bahamas is a chain of three major islands: North, South and East Bimini.
North Bimini is an island of only 1600 residents. North Bimini is long, flat, and narrow.
South Bimini houses an airstrip, and offers a quiet alternative to the slow bustle of North Bimini. There is a small community of homes on South Bimini known as Port Royale. For many years, South Bimini tourists were limited to boaters because there were few accommodations other than private homes.
Cities[edit]
Alice Town is the main village on North Bimini.
History[edit]
Bimini is home to several landmarks said to contain mystical properties of obscure origins. Much of the historical data about these places is speculative in nature, and experts in various fields have opined across the full spectrum of explanation. Also, during the period of Prohibition in the United States, Bimini was a favorite haven and supply point for the rum-running trade. Some claim that the term the real McCoy was applied to the rum provided by William S. McCoy, who used Bimini to transport whiskey to America during the Prohibition.
Another interesting fact is that Bimini was a common travel destination for Hemingway. In fact, its said that his love of Bimini inspired him to write The Old Man and The Sea, as well as Islands in The Stream.
In the 1920s Bimini shipped tons of liquor to a dry America during the prohibition against strong drink.
It is also rumored that the Fountion of Youth, which was searched for by Juan Ponce de León, is said to exist within the shallow pools of South Bimini. And that the Lost City of Atlantis is believed to be in the shallow waters off of Bimini where divers can observe the Bimini Stones. Many people believe that the Bimini Stones may have been a road into Atlantis.
Bimini has remained relatively unchanged over the years and is a very quiet and peaceful place to live or stay. Its population is a bit over 1,600 and Biminites are friendly and welcome you to join them for conversatioBeautiful places to travel to game :

8. MONTE D’ACCODDI
Sardinia is a large island in the Mediterranean famous for its beautiful beaches and pristine waters. Not many people know that it is also the home of a Neolithic site that poses more questions than answers. The ruins were discovered in 1954 on property owned by the politically prestigious Segni family and consist of a massive stone structure thought to have been used as an altar. It was built sometime between 4,000 and 3,650 BC by the Ozieri culture - or, perhaps, even an earlier civilization.
7. GOSECK CIRCLE
Located on farmland in Goseck, Germany, the Goseck Circle is an early Neolithic structure known as a ring ditch, and is believed to be the oldest of the Circular Enclosures of the Central European Neolithic age. Radiocarbon dating shows that it was built by Europe’s first civilization sometime during the 49th-century BC and was used until the 47th-century BC, long before the societies of ancient Egypt or Mesopotamia existed, earning it the modern-day nickname of “German Stonehenge.”
6. BIMINI ROAD
In the waters off the Bahamian island of North Bimini, there’s an underwater rock formation known as the Bimini Road, or the Bimini Wall. At first glance, the half-mile-long arrangement of rectangular and sub-rectangular limestone blocks appears to be man-made. There have been several theories about what the stretch of blocks actually is. Experts have speculated that it’s a road, a wall, a breakwater, or a pier from an ancient civilization. But if so, then which one??
5. THE STONES AT GALILEE
In the summer of 2003, an enormous structure was detected during a sonar survey of the southwestern portion of the Sea of Galilee, and divers were summoned to check it out. When they got a closer look, they observed a cone-shaped cairn, or a monument that was built by piling rocks on top of one another. The basalt structure measured about 32 feet high (10 m), with a diameter of 230 feet (70 m), making it taller than even the tallest stones at Stonehenge, and twice the diameter of the outer circle at the famous ruin site.
4. YONAGUNI MONUMENT
The Yonaguni monument is a mysterious sandstone rock formation located on the seabed of the waters off Yonaguni, Japan. Whether the monument is man-made or natural has been a source of debate ever since its discovery in 1986 by a director from the Yonaguni-Cho Tourism Association named Kihachiro Aratake.
3. THE KINGDOM OF GREAT ZIMBABWE
One of Africa’s oldest and most stunning archaeological sites, known as the Great Zimbabwe Ruins, was built 900 years ago and is home to a collection of massive stone complexes. The 1,800-acre site is located in southeastern Zimbabwe. Most of the buildings were made from granite using an advanced masonry technique called dry stonewalling.
2. HAL-SAFLIENI HYPOGEUM
The Hal-Saflieni Hypogeum, or the “Hypogeum” for short, can be found in the modern-day Maltese town of Paola. In Greek, “Hypogeum” means “underground,” which is an appropriate name for this Neolithic subterranean temple and necropolis. The Hypogeum was actively used from 4,000 BC to 2,500 BC, making it the world’s oldest-known prehistoric underground temple.
1. THE STRUCTURE AT MACDONALD LAKE
In 2005, divers working on a submarine project in Ontario’s Lake MacDonald discovered a bizarre assemblage of heavy stones that they initially assumed was a geological formation. At the bottom of the lake, an elongated rock weighing around 1,000 pounds (453 kg) sat on top of seven baseball-sized stones.

9. An Ancient Computer
Recovered in the early 1900s by Greek divers, the Antikythera mechanism was found inside a Roman shipwreck near the Greek island of the same name. It is believed to the earliest form of a computer that is at least 2,000 years old. This complex clock-like device was used by ancient Greeks to calculate the movement of the stars and planets. The mechanism was composed of at least 30 different bronze gears and the whole thing was housed in a wooden frame that was decorated with thousands of characters. As so much of this period of history's technology has been lost, such advanced use of technology did not reappear in European historical artifacts until the 14th Century. It is now on display at the National Archaeological Museum of Athens. The history of this device is shrouded in mystery. It is unclear how this intricate device ended up in the hands of Romans, but some believe the ill-fated ship was transferring a woman of importance to be married in Rome. The mechanism, among other impressive riches on board, may have been a wedding gift from her family.
8. Baltic Sea Anomaly
The Baltic Sea Anomaly was accidently discovered by a team of diving experts and treasure hunters from the Ocean X Team in 2011. The divers found a circular object with a diameter of about 160 feet that appeared in a sonar image as it sat on the sea bottom. It looks like the “Millennium Falcon” from “Star Wars”, and has an architectural structure similar to Stonehenge in Britain. Oddly enough, all of the divers’ electrical equipment stopped functioning within 650 feet of the entity and it emits a strong radio signal. Some say it could be a pre-Ice Age artifact or a German anti-submarine device. A long track seems to lead towards the thing which makes people think it is some kind of landing strip. The Swedes finally managed to organize an expedition finally in 2012. The very first shots of the object at close range showed that it is unlikely it had ever flown. It seems that it is not a “flying saucer”, but rather a kind of construction. The most probable theory was provided by Volker Bryuherta from Stockholm University. According to him, it’s just a rock. Since the Baltic Sea came under the influence of melting glaciers, these rocks probably formed at the same time. But this does not explain why satellite phones and cameras stop working near this “rock”. Though various scientists have offered innumerable suggestions about the entity’s origins, the Baltic Sea anomaly still remains one of the unsolved intrigues and ocean mysteries of the world.
7. The Bimini Road
The Bimini Road, sometimes called the Bimini Wall, is an underwater rock formation near North Bimini island in the Bahamas. Researchers, geologists, archaeologists, and scientists alike have visited and studied the huge, flat stones off the coast of Bimini, known as the Bimini Road . They have tried for years to discern whether the limestone blocks are a natural phenomenon, or evidence of an ancient lost civilization. About 20 feet down in the clear blue water, is a stone path. Most people think it's a road made up of limestone blocks that's about half a mile long, but no one knows where it goes or what its purpose might have been. The stone blocks are huge and some are about 13 feet long. An American expedition in 2004 discovered a second and third layer of stone blocks which also suggests a wall of some sort although they weren't able to get to the bottom. Some people think that this might be proof of the location for the lost city of Atlantis.
6. Emeralds
Amateur diver and treasure hunter Jay Miscovish walked into a bar in Key West and bought a treasure map from a diver friend at a bar in 2010. He went on to discover more than 10,000 emeralds off the coast of Florida, making it one of the largest discoveries of sunken treasure in history. His company claimed that they had found over 154 pounds of emeralds, amethysts, and other stones lying on the ocean floor. Journalists from CBS news when to interview him and he poured out a laundry basked full of emeralds and told them that they likely came from an ancient shipwreck. The story earned him mass media attention but he refused to give out more information about the map and the man who had sold it to him, claiming he had paid him $50,000 to give up all rights to the treasure. Camera crews went with him on a dive and they also found emeralds and amethysts lying on the ocean floor but no hint as to the actual vessel that may have been transporting them.

This episode of National Geographic's Naked Science centers on the fabled lost city of Atlantis, believed to have been destroyed by a natural disaster an estimated 11,000 years ago. The filmmakers explore ancient ruins in four Mediterranean and Caribbean locations in an effort to confirm or dispel theories of where - and if - Atlantis may have been.
Writer Ignatius Donnelly first sparked public interest in the search for Atlantis in the 19th century, a quest that has continued to maintain its momentum through present day. First introduced by the writings of Plato, Atlantis is said to have been an advanced, sophisticated civilization rich in art and culture. It is widely believed that a tsunami brought Atlantis to its end, and commonly assumed that its remains are underwater. The filmmakers cite certain details from Plato's depiction of the doomed metropolis, such as the city's layout and ritual practices like animal sacrifice, and use them as a gauge to determine if any of the sites they visit could indeed be the remains of the legendary city.
The filmmakers travel to Malta, the Bahamas, Greece and Cuba to evaluate ancient architecture both above and below the sea as we learn some of the historical reasons for selecting these locations. For example, Nazi party leaders were the first to focus on Malta. The SS had a vested interest in locating Atlantis, as they felt their super race may have originated there and finding evidence of it would prove their superiority. In the 1940s a self-proclaimed psychic named Edgar Casey predicted Atlantis would rise again near the Bahama's Bimini Islands. In 1968 an underwater rock formation now known as the Bimini Road was discovered, leading some to theorize that these large, flat structures are remnants of Atlantis.
Interviews with tour guides, researchers and general Atlantis enthusiasts paint a fuller picture of both the mythical society and those who seek it, balancing arguments for its existence against skepticism and wonder. A fun and unique travelogue, Naked Science: Atlantis takes viewers on a playful and whimsical trans-Atlantic journey that stimulates the imagination and provokes one’s curiosity.

What Do We Know About Atlantis?
Atlantis has been called a utopia that vanished ages ago. It’s been called everything from a lost city, to a sunken continent, to the home of Aquaman. And it’s been a source of debate and controversy as to whether or not it ever truly existed. There are many questions about this legendary location but few definitive answers. It makes you wonder, What do we know about Atlantis?

#6 Atlantis Equals Atlantic
The legend states that Atlantis sank into the Atlantic Ocean, so that’s the area most often targeted by theorists. And the similarity between the names Atlantis and Atlantic makes for a convenient match. We’ve already mentioned several locations in the Atlantic that have been cited as possible locations for Atlantis. Here are a few more: The Madeira Islands and the Canary Islands west of the Straits of Gibraltar are often suggested as possible sites. Also near the Straits is a submerged island called Spartel. It lies about 56 meters (184 feet) underwater and is thought to have disappeared 12,000 years ago due to rising ocean levels. The story would seem to fit the legend of Atlantis.
#5 The Bimini (bih-min-ee) Wall
In the 1970s a paranormal theory emerged that added even more intrigue to the Atlantis legend. It was suggested that Atlantis was a continent that truly existed and was located off the Bahamas within an area of the Bermuda Triangle! The idea is that the leftover technology of Atlantis was somehow responsible for all the mysterious events that occurred within the Triangle. Adherents to this idea cite the Bimini (bih-min-ee) Wall as proof. Located in North Bimini Island, the wall is an apparent structure that resembles an expansive pavement made from stones. It’s also been described as a road or some other type of structure that represents the remnants of Atlantis. But a contradictory theory goes that these are naturally occurring rock formations. What do you think?
#4 Ancient Anchors
Plato claimed that Atlantis was located near the Pillars of Heracles (or Hercules). Today, those land masses are known as the Straits of Gibraltar that connect the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. Some purported evidence of Atlantis may have shown up there in 2017. Although in this case researchers are referring to this as a lost city as opposed to a lost continent. Archaeologists found stone anchors that measure nearly 3 feet across (83 cm) and would have been used for a large vessel. Dating back some 4,000 years, the anchors are taken as evidence that ships might have docked in the area during the Bronze Age. The marsh where the artifacts were found was once an open bay adjacent to the Pillars of Hercules. Because of that, some researchers theorize that a harbor of Atlantis may have once existed there.
#3 The Book of Atlantis
Remember that we earlier mentioned how the popular perception of Atlantis didn’t come about until the late 19th century? In 1882 a book called “Atlantis: The Antediluvian World” was published by a US Congressman man named Ignatius L. Donnelly. In addition to being a political figure, he was also an amateur scientist and a writer. He was among the first to take Plato’s story as a mostly factual historical account. But Donnelly went farther, claiming that nearly all advancements in civilization and technology could be traced to the ancient sunken island. Other writers would later expand on those ideas and add their own theories. Donnelly’s book inspired so much popular interest in the subject that it’s often credited with helping to keep the legend of Atlantis alive through to the present day.
#2 Santorini and Ancient Thera
This is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea, and its story has some interesting parallels to Atlantis. More than 4,000 years ago it was known as Thera (thee-rah) and was part of the advanced Minoan (min-oh-un) civilization. Regarded as Europe's first great civilization, the Minoans constructed paved roads and ornate palaces. And they were the first Europeans to develop a written language. But at the apex of their power the Minoans suddenly disappeared. Around 3,600 years ago the civilization was taken out by one of the most catastrophic volcanic eruptions in recorded history. An estimated 10 million tons of rock and ash were spewed into the atmosphere. Tsunamis later followed and wiped out Minoan cities. You can see why Santorini, or Thera, is often cited as being the strongest possibility for having been the historical location of Atlantis.
