I expect many of you would have heard of the legendary 'Atlantis', the lost city.
But what do you really know about it?
I've recently been reading up on it more so and am going to share my findings.
Now, the concept of Atlantis was brought about from two of 'Platos' dialogues Timaeus and Critias. Now it has been said that the idea of a lost civilisation (Atlantis) was fictional and made up, but Plato states sevral times that it was a real thing, also gives very explicit detail into it. Remembering Plato was a very intelligent man, and would have no reason to have made something like this up, as it could have caused him to be banished from Greece if it wasn't true.
Now, what he said about Atlantis was that is was said to have been a place of great wealth and power. Also with very advanced technology. (In some versions of the story it was said that they had more advanced technology than we do today).
But people got very greed and power obsessed and the city was said to no longer be a peaceful place.
So one day, it was said that the God's (or people of a higher level than us.. In the 5th dimension..) got rid of this city and all it's traces, so the place was swallowed by the ocean.
Another theory of it is a connection between Atlantis and the island Thera.
The island of Thera, a volcanic island, was destroyed around 1500 BC by an explosion which caused more than half of the island to sink into the sea.
Artifacts found on the island indicate a sophisticated culture, probably part of the Minoan Civilization.
Now this is another possibility...But the key trouble with this is that the time it occured was very different to that of when Plato suggested.
There have also been satalite photographs over southern Spain reveal features on the ground appearing to match descriptions made by Greek scholar Plato on Atlantis.
Although many sceptics have dismissed this place for being real, there are still a lot of people and a lot of scientists searching for this lost island and researching into where it could have been. Plus numerous books on it.
Of course another theory is that Atlantis is infact hidden in the bermuda triangle.
This could also mean that Atlantis is linked with wormholes... Bermuda triangle is said to hold them (which I have stronge evidence for which will be on another blog no doubt..), also Atlantis was said to be a head of it's time... Who's to say it perhaps got lost back in time around the time period that Plato talks about, but is infact from a time far advanced of that. Just stuck in a wormhole?
Who's knows where it could be now?
Atlantis is a mystery to us all, and I just hope that one day it perhaps reappears, only then will we know of it's true existance.
But until then, I hope i've shed some ideas on Atlantis. If you have anymore, please feel free to share!
Thankyou for reading.

Cryptids. 2
Today's cryptid blog is going to be on Bigfoot itself. ;]
Now, much like the lochness monster, people will read 'bigfoot' and not take it seriously, but these people are stupid and shouldn't be taken seriously.
Now, there have been many sightings for the well known 'bigfoot' (based around North America), and many people are curious to what it truely is. (including yours truely)
I do believe 'bigfoot' or 'sasquatch' is real, as I believe it is very likely to be the missing link between us humans and apes.
Now the timeline before us humans shows a big period of the 'ape into human' stage.
These were the 'neanderthals' who were the step up from apes and were stronger than humans now, but not as intelligent (obviously). Evolved from this were the Cro-Magnons. Now these bare a more simular relation to us humans as they are more intelligent and more of a simular physical appearance.
A war was said to have taken place between neanderthals and Cro-Magnons, where Cro-Magnons are said to have eventually caused the extinction of neanderthals as although neanderthals were stronger, they didn't have the same intellengence in creating weaponary, and they were limited in using there arm movement, (couldn't raise above shoulder height).
BUT ANYWAY...
The commonly known 'bigfoot' seems to be strongly linked to one of these former species.
Bigfoot has been known to hide away in foresty areas, and wont make contact with humans if they know they're around. (People who believed to have seen bigfoot from a distance have often noted that the creature soon ran off after realising it was being watched). This shows that 'bigfoot' must know humans opose a threat so keep clear and well hidden.
The fact that they've also managed to survive this long shows intelligence more so than neanderthals had. So my guess is they're linked with Cro-magnons. (This of course suggesting that bigfoot is definitely a cro-magnon).
Bigfoot has also said to be a possible link with a species called 'homo-erectus'.. (I know, I laughed too..)
Which were much like Cro-magnons.
The only thing that makes me sceptical of this idea is that in the region where they have been seen, no skeletons have been found of homo-erectus or Cro-magnons that aren't around a million years old.
So perhaps bigfoot is something else?
Or..
There are infact a group of them, and in research about cro-magnons shows that they all looked out for eachother and they burried eachothers skeletons when dead and formed a 'ritual' after there death.
So perhaps these skeletons are just far in the north american foresty areas, burried.
Who knows?
If you have any other ideas, please say!
I have plenty more cryptids to talk about. And more interesting ones yet ;]
Hope you enjoyed.

Bermuda Triangle. 1
I think I'll only give you a brief intro into the bermuda triangle.
Because there is SO much about it that if I DID decide to spend the next couple hours writing about it would probably win awards for worlds longest blog.
;]
Right, so some of you may know and others of you may not know what the Bermuda triangle exactly is.
It is a region of the Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda, Miami; Florida, and San Juan; Puerto Rico shaped as a triangle.
(hence name ;])
<--- I got you guys a picture to have a look for yourselfs. :]
Within this triangle is where hundreds upon hundreds of planes, ships and sub marines have disappeared without a trace.
Now there are veryy few people who have entered the bermuda triangle and actually survived to tell the tell.
I will be talking about them and there experiences in another blog. But, even the people who did survive had a strange experience whilst in the bermuda triangle.
Now, you may be wondering what the hell is actually in the bermuda triangle that has caused so many disappearences?
And the answer is, I have no fucking idea.
=)
BUT, what I will do is tell you about each of the possible explanations given, and some thoughts of my own about what could be behind this.
And from this you can make up your own minds about what you think is in the bermuda triangle.
For now, i'm just going to list each of the possible explanations and in another bulletin i'll give a full insight into them.
Causes for disappearences could be due too -
Electromagnetic fields (in this area the compass points to the real north rather than the megnetic north, so the compass changes direction a lot)
Different dimensions (vortex into a different world or time)
Conspiracy theory (government undergoing experiments..Or did do)
Wormholes (getting trapped in time)
Methane Hydrate (big swoops of gas exploding up and sucks you in... But this would only really account for the missing ships)
Supernatural explanation
UFO's (theory of them controlling what happens in that area)
Atlantas (the lost island could be based here)
Also from this, in the bermuda triangle there could be a 'lost world' where planes and ships crash onto an island with no way of getting back.
Strange weather conditions (hurricanes/freak waves)
There could be more explanations but that's the only ones I can think of for now...
As I said before, i'll go into this further in another blog.
But the bermuda triangle is one of the greatest 'strange phenomena' known today.
I'll finish up this blog for today and get back to you with more news on it soon.

Cryptids. 1
Today I'm going to give you and insight into what cryptids and cryptidzoology actually is/are.
There will be sevral blogs on this with different examples.
The best way to describe what cryptids exactly are is from the introduction given on wikipedia, which is -
In the study of cryptidzoology, a cryptid is any animal or creature that has been reported to have existed, but has not been proven to. The literal meaning of the word is "the study of hidden animals".
A.K.A - Animals that are very likely to be alive but scientists don't have a dead body on a table so therefore they can't exist...
*cough*
And quite frankly, many of the creatures out there (mainly sea ones) would not actually fit on a table ;] Plus if they were caught or washed up from the sea, the likleyness of the government trying to cover that up is very high.
Which I'll no doubt go on about in certain parts because it annoys me...Fair enough it'll scare people but I want to know damnit.. Selfish? Shutup...
So some of you may be thinking, what kind of animals/creatures are these?
And others may have thought of a commonly known one called 'the lochness monster'. Now some of you will probably see that and snigger and think 'pft yeah right', but don't be so critical you bastards!
The lochness monster I do believe did or does exist. Unfortunately it was just loaded with a pretty poor name...
What infact it really is, is a prehistoric water creature. It has said to be a plesiosaur or an ancestor of it.
<-- That is a picture of what a plesiosaur looks like, and the general idea of what 'nessie' would look like.
Now, some of you might be thinking 'but they're extinct', well, yes they are classed as extinct, but do we really know that?
I'd like to say at this point that we actually only know about 3% of our ocean, and we know more about space than we do about our ocean. And space goes on forever yes?
So, just think of all the creatures and who knows what else is actually in our ocean.
I'll be going on from this in future blogs and giving you a fair few sea creatures that are believed to be real. Some of which I do strongly believe in and others i'm not as sure about. But it'll be good to mension them. ;]
After all, do you REALLY believe the animals/creatures we actually believe to be real, are the only ones out there? ;]
If you do believe in life on other planets, which quite frankly you'd be a bit stupid not too, as space goes on 'forever' (so we think), thus, can we really be the only life? Be a bit arrogent to think we're the only beings that made it to live. BUT, if you do believe this, with the information I gave earlier about how much we really know about our ocean, then who's to say that there isn't a huge amount of sea creatures that we have no idea about yet that live in the depths...
Or a phat group of plesiosaurs swimming about...
Just saying...
I went off on one then.. MY BAD.
But yes, plesiosaurs or one of there many ancestors (e.g. Liopleurodon, Brachauchenius, Sauropterygia, Elasmosauridae plus many more) are still very likely to be alive and out there somewhere. Who's to say some of them didn't get trapped off in these lochs? There's more than one loch creatures are said to live in.
If you're wondering about the pervious creatures mensioned above (with names I can barely pronounce), you can research them easily on wikipedia or google. Some are herbivours and others are carnivorous, and I don't personally think that nessie is dangerous and would eat people AS it would have been done by now..
So more likely to be a herbivour or fishy eating creature. :]
By the way, if you don't believe that something of that size could or has lived in a loch, then I have a lot of evidence to prove that it infact could if you want to know. ;]
There has also been hundreds of sightings which you could look in to, just for some more evidence.
RIght, I have wrote way more than expected for this one blog...Sorry.
Thankyou for reading though, there will be more like this with different creatures which I hope you'll also read.
And you can comment me or ask me about any of them if you so wish.
xXx
