The wave that destroyed Atlantis
By Harvey Lilley
BBC Timewatch

The legend of Atlantis, the country that disappeared under the sea, may be more than just a myth. Research on the Greek island of Crete suggests Europe's earliest civilisation was destroyed by a giant tsunami.

Until about 3,500 years ago, a spectacular ancient civilisation was flourishing in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The ancient Minoans were building palaces, paved streets and sewers, while most Europeans were still living in primitive huts.

But around 1500BC the people who spawned the myths of the Minotaur and the Labyrinth abruptly disappeared. Now the mystery of their cataclysmic end may finally have been solved.

The wave would have been as powerful as the one that devastated the coastlines of Thailand and Sri Lanka on Boxing day 2004 leading to the loss of over 250,000 lives

A group of scientists have uncovered new evidence that the island of Crete was hit by a massive tsunami at the same time that Minoan culture disappeared.

"The geo-archaeological deposits contain a number of distinct tsunami signatures," says Dutch-born geologist Professor Hendrik Bruins of the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel.

I was listening to a researcher just the other day. Interview from the 21st Century Radio Archives.

They made the claim that there's more evidence for LEMURIA (MU) than Atlantis Idea

Wow, that is interesting OP. I always thought that Altlantis was in the meditarraneum part of the world. Where else would it be for Europeans to have the fabled story in thier history so solidly?
Of course it's off the coast of Egypt. It was discovered a few years ago. It fell into the sea and the stone remains are at the bottom with oceanographer/archeologists discovering it today. They found stuff down there. I think what they found is the remains of Atlantis. Ancient Egyptian it is.
