atlantis - the concept



Since Plato first published the ATLANTIS text in 347 BC the story of the lost island has fascinated mankind.

Thus, the search for ATLANTIS is taking place in innumerable theories as well as in geographical sites, such as in the Arctic, in the Atlantic, on the Azores, in Australia, on the Bahamas, on Bimini, in Brazil, on Ceylon, in Greenland, on Helgoland, in Iran, at Carthage, in the Caucasus, on Crete, in the Crimea, on Malta, in Morocco, in Mongolia, in the Netherlands, in Nigeria, in Portugal, in Prussia, on Santorini, in Spain, on Spitzbergen, in South Africa, at Troy, at Uppsala etc. This search based on a longing, which culminates in the vision of a free and righteous society. It also contains the realization that lifestyle can cause the collapse of a culture.


The Aegean Island of Santorini, on which today innumerable tourists set foot, which almost disappeared through a volcanic eruption, through which the Minoian Culture could have been lost, which could be ATLANTIS, where a new island is being formed in the seafilled crater, where the geological history is known and precisely researched, where time can be experienced, there it was possible to excavate exactly dated EARTH.

With the help of the geologist Axel Kraus 16 SOIL samples were dug for this project - the oldest is more then 200 million years old, the earliest is from 1992.


The element EARTH relates directly to the dimension TIME.
