Graham Davies Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Ok, let's get away from all this boring (and controversial) political stuff and have a look at some REAL history... An Australian colleague has drawn my attention to the following website. Winged Sandals: Many teachers may find this site interesting, especially in view of the forthcoming Olympics. It's a delightful multimedia website on Greek Mythology created by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in association with The University of Melbourne's Centre for Classics and Archaeology. The website is designed for children 6-12 but will certainly have a much wider appeal: http://www.wingedsandals.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santorini Eruption and The Legend of Atlantis "In the modern era, geologic and archeological investigations hint at an intriguing possibility -- that the demise of Atlantis may be related to a catastrophic Bronze Age eruption in the Aegean Sea, which generated a flooded caldera and destroyed an advanced Minoan civilization living on the island group of Santorini..." http://www.geology.sdsu.edu/how_volcanoes_.../santorini.html Edited August 12, 2008 by Cigdem Eksi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigdem Göle Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Cig,Could be!!! I clicked on the link provided in Post#1, and it said it was unavailable. So searching to see if Herodotus ( I am very fond of him, and figured he did) had anything to say about Atlantis,(because most is attributed to Plato), I came upon this: http://www.atlantisquest.com/Writings.html Thanks, Kath, great info!!! I've always been interested in the Atlantis and Mu myths. Have you read any of his writings on the Delphian Oracle? No, I haven't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigdem Göle Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Kathy, Yes, I have time but I'm not good at putting my thoughts down on a paper. But I'll gladly read what you will have to write. Email me a copy when you finish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
