Mr. Blumberg, thank you for reading and providing your lengthy response. I must have touched a nerve, but did my speculations do harm? I am sure we all appreciate your rising to your duty to protect us all from my “flaw in logic within my premise”, but I would appreciate your clearly defining what the flaw is. If it is a fact that “…entire nations … and variants of humanity (whatever that is) have been wiped out, as if they never existed” has nothing to do with verifying the existence of Atlantis, and if it is the case these “wiped out” nations leaving no evidence of their existence once existed, how do we know? A supposed nation leaving not a factual trace of it’s existence is a speculative possibility at best, but without proof of existence, we must take it as a fiction.
That you come up with irrelevant rationalizations to show efforts to erase a city or nation from existence as you proffer regarding Carthage proves nothing regarding Atlantis. After all, we have the verification for the existence of Carthage, or you would not have this irrelevant story to tell.
If you have any evidence other than Plato’s story for the existence of Atlantis, please present it. I find not even scant evidence beyond Plato’s good faith recitation of the story passed on by Solon. It is interesting that you refer “… variants of humanoid, etc.” being inferred or deducted from scant available evidence”. What is an example of “variants of humanoid”? This is nonsense. You accuse me, after having admitted you did not read the complete article, of “…increasing human suffering” by simply having written this article is a rather profound accusation, don’t you think? You speculate there “…are likely twelve other errors” possibly greater than the one displayed. Guess work?
Explain how this article increases suffering if they READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE .
Your vitriolic response to my article is surprising, poorly stated, and simply absurd.
You sound like a died in the wool Atlantis believer.
Since you have threatened to read no more of my writings unless I confess some uncertain error in logic, let me save you further suffering in your confusion by letting you know you are now blocked. I chose to ignore ignorance. Your opinions are irrelevant to me. We shall have no further communication. I have better things to do, and I hope you do too.
