There are many times in my life that I've wished I was an Archaeologist and this is another one of them. I watched this video on the discovery channel a few months ago about a man who believes that he has discovered the true location of the lost city/ies of Atlantis as described in the writings of Plato.
After watching this video and recently travelling through China where I saw amazing historical relics from civilizations dating well before what I would call Chinese civilisation, I'm starting to put together in my head an idea of what truly existed before recorded time as we know it. The apparent connections of major and advanced civilisations from Egypt, Central China, central Asia, and South America are becoming way to strong to be random. There is growing evidence to show a level of technology and philosophical knowledge that rivals and in some cases betters our own from millenia ago. If that isn't amazing then I don't know what is. Simple things like the ability of potters in ancient China to add fine details to their artwork with apparently simple tools, in ways that we are unable to replicate today even with our 'new technologies', just makes me want to get out a shovel and start digging into more of the worlds historical wonders. It seems that as a world civilasation we have forgotten far more than we have learned.
Anyway, check out the video, but beware it's 50 minutes long.
