Greek Backs Plato Theory on Where to Find Atlantis
A Greek researcher says he has determined the exact where abouts of the legendary island continent of Atlantis and has brought together many recent conflicting theories as to its location. His theory has some similarities to the story by Plato, who some 24 centuries ago first wrote about a "lost continent" with an advanced civilization.
Vasilios Paschos says Atlantis was a continent larger than Asia in the area now occupied by the Atlantic Ocean. He says it had a population of about 60 million and had colonies in Latin America and the Middle East.
He says that after the continent sank, around 6 500 B. C., its colonies on the islands of Crete, Delos and Thira, formerly called Santorini, became what he calls the new Atlantis. This area was also largely destroyed by volcanic eruption around 1450 B.C.
Speaking at the recent news conference and later in an interview, Mr Paschos said that American, Soviet, and other scientists had placed Atlantis off the Spanish-Portuguese coast or in the Vermuda triangle or between Crete and Thira.
But: "They all right in a way, yet they have all made the same mistake," he says ....."...In fact they had come accross only a small part of a larger whole. I feel, I have traced the golden thread linking the diverse locations of evidence..."

Atlantes Not the "Gods" - Theodoros Paschos
PROLOGUE
ATLANTIS OF THE OCEAN AND AEGEAN SEA
The Greek writer Mr. Vassilis Th. Paschos, fore saw in his book Atlantes Mr. Daniken, Not the Gods
published in 1976 (second edition 1978) the findings of the Russian scientists in Atlantic Ocean near Madeira. Taking these ruins as a motive, Mr. Paschos gave a pre-conference (27-6-79), made announcements from the radio (28-6-78) and gave speeches to societies and organizations and on the cruiser 'ATLAS' (12-10-79). In September 1979 was invited on Television by the well-known commentator of scientific maters Helen Kypreaou.
The subject was ATLANTIS.
The new and daring theory of Mr. Paschos can used favorable comments not only among the Greek press but also among the foreign one, such as The New York Times
(29.8.79), The Culture
of Western Germany etc. It is based on elements collected since 1959 from Homer, Hesiod, Plato, Proclus, Plutarch, Marcellus and other ancient Greek and Latin writers. (Their works are mentioned in his book), on Egyptian papyrus, the Gilgamesh epic poetry of Babylonians, the Bible, the traditions of the people around Mediterranean and Central America and on ancient findings in these areas.
His project about Atlantis coincided with the delirium caught by some readers of Erich von Daniken and he felt the need to refute the theory of this German-Swiss, who insists that carriers of the ancient civilizations on earth were out - terrestrials as a lot of Daniken’s elements and arguments lead to Atlantis.
KRIKOS magazine, of London, (Feb. 1977) states that Mr. Paschos gives the most informed answer to Daniken, in his book about Atlantes. Mr. Paschos dared also, to work out a geographical map of Atlantis based on Homer's Plato's and Marcellus elements.
Mr. Paschos answered with a few words our questions about his theory, as follows:
A) The initial metropolis Atlantis, the one which glorious when Poseidon (Neptune) (the King, not the God) was its master, and reached the peak of its development during Atlas, was a big island situated farther out the Pillars of Hercules (today's Gibraltar) at the center of Atlantic Ocean
»Cyclopean Walls, were discovered in Bahamas: Pyramids in Bermuda’s, triangle and colossal stairs and a destroyed civilization in Madeira
.
B) The main colonies of Atlantis were Santorini (Thira) Crete and Delos. The survived people of Atlantis immigrated to the above islands and put the foundations for the development of New Atlantis of Aegean Sea, where the tradition of the original Atlantis was transferred.
According to the above view of mine, I correct the theory of Prof. Aggelos Galanopoulos, verified by Spyridon Marinatos, that Atlantis existed in Santorini, and that of Luce, research fellow, who suggested that ancient Crete was named Atlantis, where the well-known civilization was developed. My theory could also be verified with the recent discovery (1976) of Cyclopean Walls similar to those in Bahamas, by Jacques-Yves Cousteau at the small island of Dias (Jupiter) nearby Iraklion Crete.
C) The natives Atlantes (people of Atlantis) were the carriers of the well - known pre-ancient civilizations. They were self-developed and their civilization on their big island Atlantis was equivalent to our own.
»This is where all the indications and traditions of the people who live around the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea lead to.
»They were not Daniken's extraterrestrials.
»The people on this earth were self-tought and they were not spiritually developed by beings of other planets as the fiction theories of Daniken’s type profess. The civilizing findings are terrestrial, human constructions, and not creations of unknown outside Gods
".
To accomplish the various atlantologists, the Greek writer lists in his book a lot of facts; and furthermore, together with his arguments and his reflections he ventures into new aspects which are the following:
In our edition we present some texts from the above theory which were translated into English during the past. They are taken from his book Atlantes Mr. Daniken, Not the Gods
or they are referred to it. Some of them were published or lectured by the writer himself. We believe that with the collection and presentation of these texts we contribute to the idea of popularity of the theory about Atlantis. We also hope to see this book becoming a motive for future systematic scientific works and explorations for the discovery of the real Atlantis and its powerful civilization and for the historic recognition of the work of the philosopher Plato about Atlantis.
