Atlantis

plato said a long time ago, that the people of Atlantis "Arrogantly brought about their own destruction." When I heard that, I thought to myself "Alright, so did Sodom and Gomorrah". Can anyone tell me of any recorded history of a civilization dying out because of their arrogance. This might be an importatant theme. Wether it be in other religions, myths, ect.

Probably just a story made to pass on some moral about not being an arogant ass and the such.

the story of atalantis is based off of this greek city thats was destoryed by a sunamy

For those ignorant schmo's such as myself, what is sunamy?

I guess i'm an ignorant schmo too.

I think he means tsunami, not 'sunamy'...

And Atlantis is an allegory, it's a mythological story, it didn't really happen.

ah, thanks for clearing that up FLESH :) .

though I don't think any tsunami would have hit, I haven't heard of any Mediterranian country being hit by one.

But according to some 'scientists', Atlantis was actually in Indonesia and India, so we're still cool :cool:
