Atlantis is a very interesting concept, being a highly advanced island megacivilization that has a remarkable standard of living for its time. Enthusiasts claim that it was equal if not more advanced than today's countries. Its capital city had a series of concentric canals and a circular island in the center with a temple of Poseidon 300 feet high (around 90m) and a palace the size of a small city. Well similarly today, there is a highly advanced island megacivilization among us with a remarkable standard of living too. It is called Japan. Supposedly Atlantis possesses technology and lifestyle equal or higher to that of the 21st century so I figured a comparison between these island megacivilizations are fair game.

Any thoughts people?

How does this comparison work? :lol:

Which is the more superior civilization? hm....

Since Atlantis is a legendary island.. I'll use my imagination to describe my Atlantis. :lol:
Of course, in any fantasy island, you need some flying cars... 95% of the population must be girls... and also, robots, unicorns, magic as advance as science today... oh and you can't forget lepricons! :lol:

So... since Atlantis would be my own little utopia... i guess i choose Atlantis? haha

Wrong forum, this is a photo forum, and besides city vs.s city ( or civilization vs. civilization) threads are forbbiden.

Stupid thread.

Very stupid.

Yeah, but do comparisons with mythical cities and civilization count? :hahaha:

stupid thread, atlantis is just a myth, what's the point comparing it to an EXISTING nation, you don't even know where this supposed to be Atlantis is located!

LOL,you can tell alot by his name, he must have drunken before he made this thread! :scouserd: :runaway:
BTW, I would say :runaway: Japan because it is real! :)

You've been watching too much scifi. If Atlantis existed and was as advance as 21st century cities they would still exist till this day, and not helplessly destroyed by water.

Japan, because it has Ero-Kawaii
