The purveyors of this nonsense know that they will be long dead before the icecap melts, if ever, and the irrationality of their claims are finally exposed. Apart from that, an Antarctic location seriously conflicts with Plato&#8217;s description of Atlantis, which he describes as extending from Libya (North Africa) to central Italy.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Conspiracy theorist David Wilcock has managed to weave the Atlantis in Antarctica story into his twisted idea that the world is controlled by a cabal of evil aliens and human conspirators. <a href=\"https:\/\/atlantipedia.ie\/samples\/colavito-jason-n\/\">Jason Colavito <\/a>has highlighted that Wilcock has even tried to charge for his particular brand of male cow effluent<sup><span style=\"font-size: small;\">(s<\/span><\/sup><sup>)<\/sup>.

Farrell has studied Patristics, which is concerned with the study of the early church Fathers and, in my opinion, he should have stuck with that subject.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>As I have alluded to above, it seems to me that those who promote the daft idea of an Antarctic Atlantis do so in the knowledge that the icecap there is unlikely to disappear within their lifetime, which might reveal evidence for or against the proposition. However, the most telling argument against this polar location is the nonsensical idea that any civilisation situated there would launch an attack on Athens and\/or Egypt, situated over 14,000 km away. It was the realisation of this, however belatedly, by the late <a href=\"https:\/\/atlantipedia.ie\/samples\/wilson-colin\/\">Colin Wilson<\/a> that led him to withdraw his support for the Antarctic location.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>My view on the subject is, that even if the controversial degree of axial shift advocated by the likes of the Flem-Aths was proven correct and then if the remains of an ancient civilisation were to be found in the Antarctic, it could not be the Atlantis of Plato which attacked Athens and Egypt, as they were 14,000 km away from Antarctica &#8211; not within what you could call an &#8216;easy striking distance&#8217;. I prefer to accept the words of Plato, who unambiguously noted on two occasions that Atlantean territory stretched from southern Italy to North Africa, providing more rational launching pads for attacks on Greece and Egypt.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Late February 2020 saw a further attempt to breathe life into the silly &#8216;Atlantis in Antarctica&#8217; idea. An Indian commentator, Piyush Gupta, on seeing some anomalous features on Google Earth, proceeded to link them to Plato&#8217;s Atlantis<sup>(ag)<\/sup>. This impetuous suggestion leaves me wondering if unfettered free speech is such a good idea after all.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Also in 2020, Barbiero published <em>A Frozen Civilisation: Atlantis in Antarctica <\/em><sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/atlantipedia.ie\/samples\/main-bibliography\/b\/\">1746<\/a>]<\/sup> and <em>The Bible without Secrets <\/em><sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/atlantipedia.ie\/samples\/main-bibliography\/b\/\">1745<\/a>]<\/sup>, both in English, which appear to be translations of earlier works.
