He paused for a moment, thinking things over before replying
"I believe.... I believe more on whats written and can be supported by facts however little there are. I also give credit in written works that honestly say what they are-- that they are only theories and observations. Although I do come across many written works that pass themselves off as factual where in truth they are nothing more but conjectures, and as a reader it would be wise to tell the difference between them. But for a whole island to dissapear without a trace?..... No, there will always be some kind of clue left behind, even the worst kind of disasters have always left some tell tale signs of what was once there. I think the only time something truly vanishes without a trace is when they dont want to be found." And he suddenly paused, weighing his last words with what they were discussing. Something clicks in his head
"So the people of Atlantis doesnt want to be found?" Quote:

"Atlantis. What we know so far is that it mostly likely is underwater. The apparently underwater city, may or may not have been a Muggle or a Wizarding city. Keep that in mind." Just for reference the words magically appeared on the board beside the map. "But that is a lot of may or may not. And like I said before there is a lot of confusion just generally a lot of guess work. Maybe because the city isn't on a map, but most likely because it's history appears to be so faint."
Scabior paused. "So to know more about the city, we should try looking past it. Let's look at the first person who they say is known to write of the city, Plato. What do we know about Plato?" If they knew anything about the man that was.
OOC: My next post will be in give or take 13 hours. Just gotta say, ya'll are awesome.
Just when he thought things have moved on albeit awkwardly another young Gryffindor-- this time he knew to be the Candy Trolley girl-- went rushing over and shaking the frozen Anya. He winced, mostly because he thinks Anya is still contagious and second because she looked like she might break. But yeah Historian blew his top again.
The irony of Anya talking about Pompeii at the time of her freezing. Because right now the whole class is like Pompeii in the danger of getting buried by Mt Vesuvius-Scabior.
Keep Calm and Carry on right? Actually right now he just wants to Get Up and Get Out.
But he's a Survivor and there is a question.
Up goes the hand again
"Plato is a Greek Philosopher and Mathematician, a student of another great Philosopher Socrates and was a mentor of Aristotle. Among many of Plato's written works was the defining of what is present day number theory and arithmetic."
