You can go home Indy... We won't be needing you after all...
Heh. This is big news! As a big fan of archeology, paleontology and history I find this most interesting. Why didn't anyone think of Ireland? How did Plato know about Ireland? Where are my socks? These are all big questions, Give me more answers! If Ireland indeed IS this advanced society that Atlantis is claimed to be, then where are the ruins, or are there ruins? I'm tired...
God... imagine what yufster will be like when she finds out.... We may need to sedate her.
If yufster is an Atlantian.. No wonder they dissapeared thousands of years ago.. :-p
Wait! He didn't divide his measurements by ten! He's looking in the wrong place!
"I am amazed no one has come up with this before, it's incredible," he told Reuters.
I know why no one came up with it before, they were looking for LEGITIMATE locations, that's why. This guy reminds me of that Von Doniken dude from the 80s that went to prison for falsifying mummy remains or something.
Ahhhh, so THAT's what all those orichalcum beads are doing in my grandmothers sewing drawer.
I thought Plato was trying to tell a tale.
Family Guy had a scene where Ireland was a great country before they discovered alcohol... it's a sign!!1

It's a load of bullshit, but it's an amusing load of bullshit.
Has anyone seen that episode of Family Guy where I think Peter has this odd flashback about ireland being super advanced (with flying cars and all), and then some irish scientist invented alcohol and it all fell apart? ;)
The news story reminds me of that.
/me visualizes new ad camapaign possibilties to demote the consumption of alcohol.
As much as a tale is always a tale, and how unlikely it may sound, most myths and tales derive from things that seem insignifact and far-fetched nowadays.
I don't think there's anything that makes the ireland theory less implausible than any other theory (even though some replies in this thread implies further insight in the field of archeology), and I don't think it's far-fetched enough to be called ridiculous.
I dont think its too far fetched from reading the article.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahaHAhahAHaHAHAHAHahahAHAHA!!!
That's funny because, apparently, there is a lost city in my back garden. Not joking. There is supposed to be an ancient village located somewhere around where I live, that reaches under our fields.
Haha! Now who is laughing, eh?! You people from the Land of America!? Or I!? From the Lost City of Ireland!!!!
HAHahAHaha!!!
I told you... get the tranqs
JEALOUSY! JEALOUSY!
Am I Irish!? No! I am ATLANTEAN!!!
HAHAHahhaHAhahaHaha!
We don't have broadband yet, in Atlantis...
It would appear that more Atlanteans live in the Land of America than in the Lost City of Ireland.
Take that!
soon the Ferries will have special 'Indiana Jones Cruise nights' during the trip to Ireland
Yufster, with this mystery revealed, I think you should keep your eyes out for people trying to build odd machinery in your backyard. Especially if they have a curious german accent and like to wave Lugers around a lot.

Ach, beware, I tell you - Beware!
Don't let him come near you with that syringe, or you're surely done for.

If Ireland is Atlantis...then where did they get the material for the cartoon ? :P
Donegal.
