I've seen that, posted it on the old forum as well. Next year I'll be heading to Albania with cousins so I'm gonna take contact with a diving company and see if we can figure something out.

Kasso, then explain why the dimensions and location is where plato says it to be. (Location is both stated to be there by Plato and somewhat denied - To our understandings of his writings)
That, and the very fact that a tribe called "Taulanti(s)" lived at that very place.

Because Atlantis was mentioned before the ancient city of Durrës was flooded, which makes it impossible that Atlantis was located in above mentioned city. And about the origin of the words Atlantis and Taulanti is different and non-connected. Taulanti means dallendyshe, a bird.

Are you hearing yourself? How does your idiotic statement prove me wrong?
the ancient city of durres was not named durres kiddo.
------
History of Durres In 627 - 626 B.C. Greeks from Corfu and Cornith invaded the area and called the town Epid*mnos. In the 4th century B.C. Epid*mnos had become an independent city - state, producing metalwork, pottery, fabrics, leather and ships and its coins were circulating throughout the ancient world. The Illyrians after establishing their own state, tried to place Durres under their own dependence. In this struggle, victory favoured the state of the Taulantes(Atlantis). The Illyrian King Monunes, minted coins in Durres, with his own name in them and made Durres, the centre of his own state. In 229 B.C. Durres was taken by Rome and under roman rule, the town was called Dyrrachium, which became the starting point of the Via Egnatia, linking roam with the East. The famous Roman orator, Cicero called Durres an admirable city ..., while the poet Catullus called it the tavern of the Adriatic. After the partition of the Roman Empire, Durres remained part of the Eastern Empire, Byzantium. During the 10th & 14th centuries, the town was captured by Bulgarians, Normans, Crusaders, Venetians, Angevins and Serbs. In 1501 it was invaded by the Turks. In 1914 - 1920 Durres became the capital of Albania. In 1915 it became the seat of Prince Velhelm Xuvid. In 1916 was temporarily occupied by Serbian forces. On the 7th of April l939, Durres was occupied by Italians. and then the Germans, during World War Two.
-------------------------------------- Atlantis is in Albania(pt.3)Story of Taulantis or a.k.a Atlantis.
The Taulanti (Albanian Taulantët) were one of the largest Illyrian tribes. A myth recounted by Arian tells that their name is derived from an eponyomus ancestor, Taulas (genetive Taulanti). They lived on the Adriatic coast of Illyria(modern Albania), between the river Vjosa on the south and the city of Epid*mnos (modern Durres) on the north. This tribe played an important role in Illyrian history of the 4th-3rd centuries BC, when they ruled Illyrian kingdom, firstly established by Enchelleae. Approximately on the same land as Taulanti lived the Albanoi and Parthines tribes. In 335 BC, King Glaukias established the Taulanti dynasty in the Illyrian Kingdom. In 323 BC, Glaukias freed all the land which had been taken from Enchelleae by the Macedonians. Later, Illyrians capture Epid*mnos and Apollonia, two major Illyrian cities, founded by the Greeks in the 7th century BC. In 309 BC, Glaukias went to Epirus where Pyrrhus regained the throne. Bardylis Junior (Bardhyli i Ri), Glaukias' successor, had friendly relationship with Epirus, but it didn’t last long because Pyrrhus conquered all the land in the south of Shkumbin river. This policy was followed strictly by Monounios (280 BC), who became head of Epid*mnus and made silver coins with his name. He achieved to consolidate the Illyrian Kingdom. The major cities of the Kingdom were Epid*mnios, Apollonia, Damastion, Bylis, Albanopolis, Dimallium, Skodra (Shkoder), Lissos (Lezhe), Meteoni, Ulcinium (Ulqin), Rizon.

Atlantis is in Albania (pt.2)Atlantis story (a.k.a what we all don't know)
This, the city, or the so called lost continent, or the land of Aryans and whatever you want to call it, in todays worldmostly a myth and a legend but perhaps it may be true.Are these the people that died in the great flooding in Noahs time?Anyway. im going to tell it all to you, tell you what people think and what do they say and those perhaps have any evidence .Is there any language in the world that can translate ATLANT?English have close afirmative verbs and preffixs begginings witht he Albanian language only that english was spoken 6.000 years after Albanian evolved.AT in means FATHER in Albanian FATHER, and so does in German. PADRE in Italian. By pronouncingAD and then AT you will hear the same tone and rythem and mistakenly spell it ED if you don't know.LAND in english means simply land if you pronounce LANT it might sound more with the letter D at the end of the word.In ilirian the word LANTOKDE means LAND in english or ground.In ALbanian today it is TOK which also means TOGether in english.Check all the similarities. Of course english came from Germanic indo european indom like some historians say but Ilirian(Albanian)is way older than Germanic or even Greek.Modern greeks do not understand ancient greeks. But as I said beforethere is no modern Albanian or ancient Albanian, it will never be, the reason is,, I will explain it later.Now, I can simply say AT LANT meaning FATHER LAND (in my theory).Why don't Albanian use LANTOKDE nomore? The reason is that Albanian language it is a part of Ilirians that survived during dark ages, occupations and etc.One of the oldest Ilirian tribe called TAULANT which means DRY LAND in Albanian, sometimes this tribe was called TAULANTIS in other dialects. This tribe had the region in western part of modernALbania and Montenegro, shored with Adriatic Sea.Another tribe called Adrians of Ilirian states boreded Taulants in northern part where todays bosnia is.All ILIRIAN tribes understood eachother but had different accent in spoken word. A look od Albania's language today you will find the same similarities. Each city, each dialect.Adrians for example used to say LAENT for LAND or the short name of LANTOK which was the official name of land and some other tribes counting more than six used only TOK as in today's modern Albanian language.TOK and also DHE . Tok=land. Dhe=soil. LANTOKDESO its possible LANTODE might be EARTH meaning the PLANET of ours o whre we live.Well, the Ilirian GOd ANTOK was God of EARTH and was written ANTOS in ancient literature of Helens and Latins.God of heaven of course Ouranuem. Can it be ATLODES the father of earth and in another words Father can be used as insted of God since father is a male gender and allways known to antiquety to rule upon other creatures and of course that is the root word which can be taken of pripary word in sentence,Anyway this proofs nothing until now, I just explained what Atlant means if Albanians are the descendants of the lost Continent or City.

Someone should investigate this claim. At least take a look down there. At the very least you will find some nice ruins and it should be protected as a national site. Although, im not so sure about closing down the beach thingie.

Captainalbania, there is enough beaches in Albaniaa. Durres beach should be closed. It's not nice there as well. If Atlantis now would be there under the sea then Albania would be the next Dubai.

This topic has been open many times. For me this is more convincing than the other theories. The author is half albanian and half greek. He based his research in Plato's book written in the old greek language. atlantisinmalta.art.officelive.com/default.aspx

What does this guy base his talk on? Considering plato said that Atlantis was "22:30/10:30" from Athens. He is wrong.
Read the forum, this guy is nuts.
