Many legends, myths, and stories surround the island continent of Atlantis and the destruction of the Atlantean advanced civilization. Many sites have been suggested for its current location besides the middle of the Atlantic Ocean which include: Antarctica, the Azores, the Bahamas, Bolivia, the Caribbean, Cornwall, Crete, Cuba, the Celtic Shelf, North Africa, the Red Sea, Swedish Hyperborea, Thera, and Troy. Although there is no verifiable scientific proof of the existence of Atlantis and Atlantean culture, when people search their feelings, they trigger memories deep within their cellular structure, and then they "know" that Atlantis and the Atlantean culture was real and that it was part of their glorious heritage. From the time of St. Brendan's Voyage to the modern day, explorers and scientists have gone in search of the fabled land of Atlantis and earthly Atlantean paradise, travelling thousands of miles around the globe. Their quest has yielded many possible locations but no conclusive scientific evidence. Opinions are mixed about the authenticity and the cultural origins of the few buildings that have been discovered beneath the seas.
Countries and cultures

And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth". So wisdom seekers examine all the information about it, they shift though reams of data hoping to have an epiphany that fits all the pieces of the global puzzle together, forming a historically accurate picture complete with timelines. The process itself is important. Like a butterfly slowly breaking its way out of a cocoon, the truth seekers transform themselves, as well as, the mental awareness of the morphic field of the entire human species. The most famous and well known of the Atlantean legends was written by Plato in his "Timaeus" and "Critias" Dialogues.
There was a feeling of authenticity and a ring of truth to the wealth of
descriptive details about Atlantis in these "Dialogues" that spurred
investigative interest and continued to inspire the imagination of explorers,
idealists, researchers, and scientists for centuries to come...
