What i dont understand is why that people debunk the theory of atlantis so easily due to lack of proof.

Great thread yet again SkyFloating; just hopefully add my two cents before anyone else has mentioned it. I've heard for a long time many different locations for Atlantis, the most recent was the Sahara Desert. Now I understand the Sahara could be the place where they were located due to the fact of Egytian scripts that mention an atlantian empire.

Since Sky didn't reply to you on this I will, the term "ology" which you said means that something given this suffix is turned into a scientific term; your completely wrong.

There is no where in the defintion that stats what your studying has to be fact, maybe you should get "proof" for your insult before being so hasty. I think I'm going to start calling myself a ShutDownOlogist.

The Roman author and military officer, Pliny the Elder, drawing upon the accounts of Juba II, king of Mauretania, states that a Mauretanian expedition to the islands around 50 BC found the ruins of great buildings, but otherwise no population to speak of.[3]
In Plato's book, Timaeus, a character named Kritias tells an account of Atlantis that has been in his family for generations. According to the character, the story was originally told to his ancestor, Solon, by a priest during Solon's visit to Egypt.
It is not an easy question to resolve. Scientists naturally look askance at psychic information – if, that is, they are even aware of it. So, the authors observe, the readings were not used to guide archaeologic explorations over past decades. Consider, too: Turn back the clock beyond 4,000 B.C. and most scholars, especially those in Cayce’s day, believe it was a time of primitive cultures. The readings, however, give accounts of Atlanteans, described as a technologically advanced people, having migrated to Egypt – and other locales – over 12,000 years ago. Also, “the readings mention [human] ancestors as far back as 10 million years ago, and high civilizations 200,000 years ago.” Remains unearthed in recent years and carbon dated are adding more credence to the psychic revelations.
