Anyways.... just an angle "perhaps Atlantis was the 13th Tribe of Kobols settlement"....?


Food-for-thought eh....

It could explain, storyline wise.... how we Earthers' "lost our Kobolian Advanced Knowledge"....

It was lost during the destruction of Atlantis....

Trying to sync the Colonial Calendar with a Terran one based on any canonical info is nigh on to impossible. It should be noted however that this idea is one that Larson considered a possibility when doing the show. He was very influenced by von Daniken, who's first work was something of a sensation at that time ( he talks about this on the DVD).

Earth, however, might have proven to be a bad place for the 13th tribe to settle...and still might be. If you haven't seen The Day After Tomorrow, check it out, then read the Popular Science article on it.

I haven't been able to sleep since...
