Atlantis – Demise by Volcano Just as Pompeii was buried by a volcanic pyroclastic flow, Atlantis also could have met its end by an explosive volcanic event. History has shown that large areas can be destroyed when Krakatoa blew its top and its pyroclastic flow destroyed Sumtran, which was 30 miles away. If the Atlantians were as advanced as Plato described, then they might have been arrogant enough to believe that they could outrun any eruption. Why would a society build their city around a volcano? You simply need to look around the world today. The Hawaiian Islands are a perfect example. Here people actually traveled thousands of miles by ocean and decided these volcanic islands would be perfect. Volcanic soil is extremely fertile, so aside from the occasional lava flow or pyroclastic flow, you can be guaranteed enough food to eat. Volcanic islands tend to have steep mountainous areas that can be easily protected. Simple answers to why. Suppose there was another reason that Atlantians chose to live on a volcanic island. What if they were able to utilize the geothermal characteristics of the volcano. Steam engines were created before the gasoline versions. On a volcanic island, the power of heat and steam would have been easily observed and could have been utilized.

The Why and the What For?I consider myself to be a simple but intelligent person. I believe that curiosity is the key to living, and that if you stopped being curious what would be the point to life? I have an interest in cryptozoology, paranormal and the mysteries of the universe. As the number of shows in these genres have grown, my disappoint in the investigation techniques grew, too. Some shows, like Destination Truth, perform excellent and detailed investigations. Other shows, like Finding Bigfoot, lack greatly in the use of scientific method.
It is due in part to the Finding Bigfoot show, that I have chosen to create this site. Thru Twitter, I proposed several theories to the “scientist” of the team on ways to find evidence. The “scientist” responded rudely and labeled me as theorizing incessantly (details will be posted on the Bigfoot page). How could a scientist, who by definition needs to create a theory according to scientific method, say that someone theorized too much? Many theories in the scientific world cannot be field researched immediately. Sometimes, the person with the theory does not have the means to conduct the investigation. This was the reason I had proposed my theories to this “scientist” who was actively investigating Bigfoot. I proposed my theories to spur them onto a new thought pattern, a new lead for investigation. Instead, I was dismissed as simply being an armchair quarterback that didn’t know what I was talking about because I had never gone out to look for bigfoot. With the realization that there may be others like myself, I created this site for the dismissed and thrown aside to discuss intelligently about different subjects in our universe. I created a place for people “To Theorize Incessantly.”
