The movie is nothing but gross conjecture for the entire length of the film. Will have to have eye surgery due to excessive amount of times I had to roll my eyes. Waste of time
Very interesting look at the origins / location of the city of Atlantis, based on the writings of Plato.
James Cameron only had a cameo in this, despite getting top billing. What this documentary does do, is analyse all the supposed locations of Atlantis, it's colonies across the Mediterranean and into the Atlantic.
It does systemically look at each proposed location, with some archaeological work being done, building a clearer picture of the civilisation until they reach a satisfying (to a degree) conclusion, with evidence, as to where the destroyed city should be.
They need to make a follow-up where they carry out some archaeological work in the final location!!

Other then bringing on John Cameron for a cameo almost all the information is a repeat or rehash of the most probable theories on the fall of ATLANTIS. The most plausible of them being that the Minoan Island Trading Empire on THERA, now SANTORINI was built upon a dormant Volcano. This erupted with a massive explosion and venting of the caldera which subsequently collapsed. Thus creating a massive Tsunami which inundated the eastern Mediterranean. This occurred sometime during the 16th Centuries B.C.E. The eruption took some time to develop its full fury, so the Island appears to have been evacuated prior to the major eruption. The eruption on the Volcanic Explosivity Index was at the level Six (6), possibly as high as a Seven (7).
There are several other candidates, starting with MALTA, then keep moving West. Even beyond the PILLARS OF HERCULES (Straits Of Gibraltar). To take that theory seriously you would have to believe that ATLANTIS was best represented by George Pal's ATLANTIS; The Lost Continent (1961). A enjoyable fantasy film, but hardly science. If you have seen the other documentaries on ATLANTIS you might want to skip this one. If not watch it. Those who have, watch the movie instead. Its hokey, but fun.

Georgeos Diaz Montexano is the absolute genious behind all this. He spent 25 years studying the tale of atlantis and found out atlantis is not just a made up story created by Plato. People fail to understand why this doccumentary is diferent to others made about atlantis before. The exact location of atlantis was given to us by Plato. But it wasn't until georgeos read carefully into it that all this information could be known. This documentary is just a tease of what's coming in the next part... and wether people fail to see how important all this is, it will make history because this people have found atlantis for good. And all it takes is the world to study the works of georgeos to understand how all this is plausible. And I hope it happens sooner or later. Depends on how prejudiced the people are
This is an amazing documentary. No matter what people say. Very important and to me all new knowledge. I ended up so curious and not to long after that very sad that there was no next episode. Felt like an open ending. Dig it up, show us more.
