The stargate first showed up in the movie Stargate as a means to travel between galaxies in a matter of seconds. The first planet ever dialed was Abydos the primary location for which the movie was set. The movie was popular enough to get the attention of MGM Studios who got the rights to the movie and made a TV show call Stargate SG-1 and later Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe. In these series the design function of the device was greatly expanded upon to the point of even coming with a Supergate
It was a warm humid night outside of my bedroom, there was a light drift traveling through the window. Midnight came around and I had no time to be tired, because it was 2pm in Iraq and my soldier had certain times when he would be able to talk to me. My boyfriend, Derek, is on his last deployment before his honorable discharge. He lost his right leg in an accident 2 years ago, and the generals said that this was his last deployment. I was blissful for that. I sometimes go days without sleep, but
“I am so sick and tired of your lack of respect and positivity. All you guys do is sit around, and whine, and complain. All of the other groups are having fun, getting to know each other, being productive,” Vick yelled. He seriously sounds like a crybaby right now. Five foot eight, ninety pounds, stooped over, and irritated, Vick really did resemble an eight-year-old girl. If only he knew how ridiculous he sounded right now. It is his fault that we never get anything done. He does not have an inspirational
A Week Alone with Me Day One: In Oakland “My mother has good taste in men,” you said. I noticed the Freudian slit in your dress that hiked up your leg, just beyond the fatty muscles of your inner thigh. You were wearing a red dress that left the townspeople covered in blood; it was almost more painful for us to watch you wear it out than it was for you to put on. “Let’s run away, dish,” you said. “Sure thing, spoon,” I said. I put my arms around your body and lifted you while spinning. We both
Atlantis ~ The Lost City Atlantis is known to most people as a legend or myth written by the Greek poet Plato, but is it possible that this lost continent really existed? Is it all legend or could there be some fact to it? Contrary to common belief there have been numerous geological and historical findings that actually give proof to the existence of this lost city. In the book Imagining Atlantis it tells us the story written by Plato. "According to ancient Egyptian temple records the Athenians
History, Atlantis.MAWULI BALO Lead Atlantis, the lost empire home to piles of gold and extravagant cuisine sunk thousands of years ago due to a tsunami able to sink the Asia Minor. Generations later, Plato writes, “Timaeus et Critias” with most Ancient Greeks thinking it’s a myth. From discover, Atlanteans places, ceremonies, and king names are scattered within history. A belief that suggests if “Atlantis” was actually Atlantis. Paragraph 1 Centuries ago at a time of prosperity, Atlantis was victim
The fabled city of Atlantis has captured both the souls and hearts of millions everywhere. It has the world begging if the depiction of such an advanced city in Plato’s Timaeus where a character, Kritias, tells of the lost city of Atlantis and how it was destroyed after a war with Athens. The story goes that Poseidon, Greek God of the sea, fathered five sets of twins and gave them each a sliver of land. One of the kids, Atlas, was given the land of Atlantis and the surrounding sea. “About 9000 years
Everyone has heard the bedtime story of the golden lost city of Atlantis. It has been a child’s dream to discover it for decades, maybe centuries. This city has often been compared to the Garden of Eden. The birth of this fairytale lies with the Greek philosopher, Plato. Atlantis was modernly made popular by writer and U.S. Congressman, Ignatius Donnelly, in 1882 (Martin 12). According to Greek mythological history, Atlantis was founded by the god Poseidon and ruled by Atlas, a descendant of Poseidon’s
the Atlantic ocean, was an island called Atlantis. In atlantis there resided a race of people with great technologies far more advanced than any other (“Lost Civilizations:The Story of Atlantis”). According to Greek mythology, Atlantis was home of the Greek god, Poseidon. Poseidon fell in love with a mortal woman and built her a home in the middle of the island and surrounded it with water and land to keep her protected (“Lost Civilization:The Story of Atlantis”). Near the middle of the island a temple
Believed to be literally swallowed by the sea, Atlantis is a mysterious, advanced society that seems to have just vanished. Although some say Atlantis is a myth, there is reliable proof that Atlantis is a myth, there is reliable proof that Atlantis really did exist, and is more than just a myth. The idea of this “vanishing city” first came from Plato, who began discussing this legendary civilization in 355 B.C. Atlantis was a powerful and somewhat greedy civilization established by Poseidon (the
Atlantis The lost city of Atlantis is one of the world’s greatest mysterious till this day. It’s an even more older mystery than the legendary Bermuda Triangle. For generations people have been wondering how Atlantis fell or if it even existed, but many people believe it actually existed. There is no actual proof but there are many different stories from different cultures all over the world talking about Atlantis. Scientists have been trying to find some kind of evidence of Atlantis’ existence but
There has always been a lot of speculation about the Bermuda Triangle, blaming sea monsters and the lost city of Atlantis for all of the disappearances within the past century. Everything that happens, though, can be logically explained, just by taking a look at the weather patterns and the waters that lie within the Bermuda Triangle. One of the possible reasons why so many ships and aircraft mysteriously disappear is because of methane hydrates. Methane hydrates are pockets of gas trapped inside
A skeptic once argued “trying to find a common cause for every Bermuda Triangle disappearance is no more logical than trying to find a common cause for every automobile accident in Arizona” (“Bermuda Triangle”). Although some theories may be more plausible than others, this is implying that there is not one single explanation of these disappearances. While some researchers propose far-fetched theories, historical events as well as scientific observation and experimentation show many reasonable explanations
theories of Atlantis and attempt to answer the age old question of whether the fabled city was fact or fiction. There are over thousands of theories related to Atlantis and as Charles Oren curator of History at the New York state Museum in Albany “Pick a spot on the map and someone has said that Atlantis was there” [1]. Though the story of Atlantis is over 2000 years old, there are still new theories around the possible location of the city/continent. These theories include the Atlantic Atlantis , that
Atlantis: We will never know Fantasy is a tough sell in the twentieth century. The world has been fully discovered and fully mapped. Popular media has effectively minimized the legend and the fantastic rumor, though to make up for this it has generated falsities not as lavish but just as interesting. Satellites have mapped and studied the earth, leaving only a space frontier that is as yet unreachable. But standing out is a charming fantasy the modern world has yet to verify or condemn: the lost
are many theories behind the Triangle, but a few are more believable than the rest. Scientists and theorists have linked these three main theories to the Bermuda Triangle: the electromagnetic properties of the Triangle, natural causes, or UFO’s and Atlantis. The first theory of why the Bermuda Triangle is mysterious is because some scientists and theorists believe that it has special magnetic properties and has the potential to force compasses to point to True North. These devices are not supposed to
Atlantis Myth vs Today’s Science Now that we know the foundation of the Atlantis myth we can now speculate if this is even possible with today’s science and geography. Atlantis was said to be bigger than Asia Minor and Libya combined. This statement made by Plato in the Critias is most likely not true because Atlantis would have to be in the Mediterranean Sea or within a few miles of the Mediterranean Sea such as the Atlantic Ocean or Indian Ocean. The other thought could be that the size
Atlantis Over 11,000 years ago there existed an island nation located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean populated by a noble and powerful race. The people of this land possessed great wealth thanks to the natural resources found throughout their island. The island was a center for trade and commerce. The rulers of this land held sway over the people and land of their own island and well into Europe and Africa. This was the island of Atlantis. Atlantis was the domain of Poseidon, god of the sea
Atlantis is an ancient island that supposedly existed over 9,000 years ago that mysteriously vanished into the sea in just a single day. There have been many theories regarding the existence of Atlantis, some with very convincing arguments but there is still no proof that it actually exists. With tools like Photoshop, it is hard to know if people are telling the truth because they could easily edit the photos they claim they’ve taken. In the course of the last couple of hundred years, researchers
Atlantis is a mystery that still causes us to question whether this ancient civilisation existed or not and if it did where is its resting place? The Atlantis mystery is best satisfied with the theory that Atlantis was a myth, a story fabricated by Plato to convey some of his philosophical theories. Atlantis could not have been real, as there is no physical evidence of a place that matched Plato’s descriptions in his two famous dialogues, Timaeus and Critias. As seen in Source A from Plato’s Timaeus
