Atlantis Found in Indonesia?

I remember an incident when I was speaking at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, Virginia, for the Edgar Cayce Forum. Since my topic dealt with Edgar Cayce’s psychic readings on Atlantis, I opened by asking the audience to name a number of places that have been publicized as “Atlantis Found.” I received suggestions from numerous people such as in the Atlantic Ocean by the Sargasso Sea, the Azores Islands, the Caribbean Sea around Bimini Island – all mentioned in the Edgar Cayce readings as locations where Atlantis once existed. In the middle of this introduction, one man stood up, and he would not sit down but he insisted that Atlantis was in the Indian Ocean in Indonesia.

Well, today I found what may be the source of that man’s certainty that Atlantis had been in the Indian Ocean. This theory is based on the work of Professor Arysio Nunes dos Santos who says that the world during Atlantean times was very different. He reminds us that much of the time during the existence of Atlantis, the world was in the Pleistocene era, a time when the Ice Ages dominated the earth. Because of the ice, the water level was much lower than it is now. He also says that there was much more ocean and much less land at that time (which doesn’t really make sense if the water level was much lower, there would have been much more ocean floor exposed) and that the Atlantic Ocean would have extended into the Indian Ocean.

I only viewed the first part of the videotaped interview with the professor. However, I find his theory intriguing and thought you might also. Here’s the link: http://www.atlan.org.
