Was it real or just a fictional story. The legend of Atlantis has to be one of the oldest and most spellbinding of all the world's mysteries. It has puzzled both skeptics and believers alike. Where exactly was Atlantis and where is it now? What caused its destruction? Exactly how advanced were the Atlanteans? I hope someday everyone will know the answers to those questions.

Plato, a Greek philosopher, gave us the first known account of Atlantis. Plato was said to have lived from about 428 to 348 B.C. He was a student of Socrates. After studying with Socrates, Plato opened up his own philosophy school. There he began to write his philosophies in a play-type form. These dialogues always featured Socrates as the main character. In the dialogues Timaeus and Critias, he wrote about an amazing place called Atlantis. In Critias, Plato wrote of Atlantis' architecture, engineering, and ceremonies in great detail. Many people, even Plato's own students, thought this place
was Plato's own creation, but he argued that Atlantis was real, and filled with more splendors than anyone could imagine.

All races share the story of a great flood that destroyed an entire civilization. The name Atlantis appears in various forms throughout the world. The Canary Islands have a legend involving Atalaya. The Basques of Northern Spain have Atlaintica. The Vikings told the tale of Atli. Northern Africa called it Attala. The Aztecs have Aztlán, and the North American Indians called theirs Azatlán.

  • @MysterEy1 I think today is a time built on lies and inaccuracies also disinformation is a weapon that is used for mass destruction as much as bombs,and the motivation for this is greed,power and influence,

    I don't know if ancient people had the same motivation to lie or whether they had that level of complexity of thought,who knows all I know is that a lot of western European history is still to be discovered from the ocean floor

  • @MysterEy1 You know u don't have to be a psychedelic hippy from the sixties to believe that Atlantis was a real place and look at the names of the British and western Europeans they all have a connection to the area,and each other,its as plain as the nose on you face,but some people would rather deny truth and reality and replace it with an alternative,But I don't think you can suppress things like this indefinitely and the net is a good tool for joining all the dots.

  • @MysterEy1 I don't know about that,But my opinion is that the time scale in Plato's story fits with what we know about climate change and global sea levels since the last glacial maximus,or last coldest period in the earths history,but you also have to take into account that the earth is in a constant state of flux so when you take these things into account and words and symbols and there connections you must start to accept as being possible,

  • @gogogeedus That is fascinating.. BTW the field of Egyptology is rife with lies and inaccuracies. But that is just the market in ancient histories and tourism.

  • @stryngtheory Actually it is not a coming of age movie at all. It is a radical atheist documentary.

    Im not offended at all about Socrates. I don't have any emotional attachment to viewer's beliefs. I am here to discuss and later on, to invite. But on the discussion level I am open-minded.

    ...Archetypes related to socrates, plato, perhaps!

  • @MysterEy1

    Never heard of that film. Although from the title I can only assume its just another John Hughs "coming of age" movie. Nothing against John Hughs though, I really liked Sixteen Candles... ..."automobile..."

    But all seriousness aside, I don't mean any disrespect by suggesting that Socrates is a myth, Its actually quite a compliment. What archetypes ressonate most clearly with the myth of Socrates? Plato too? These are important questions. How 'bout you? Vlog? .

  • @gogogeedus Oh thank you for the lead, I've been trying to acquire more information on Atlantis.

  • @TheRedAnthem -there are hieroglyphics in Egypt that have been interpreted to refer to the same place,I will post some interesting sites for you to take a look at,

  • @TheRedAnthem All of this info was either sourced of the net or a lot of the info relating to Briton and early European history was from a book called the origins of the British by Stephen Oppenheimer,that is a very informative book b,t,w, especially if you have British ancestors,one guy who talks about pre Plato writings of Atlantis talks of ancient Sanskrit legends that are very similar to the Plato story also there is an ancient phonetician story along the same lines,also-

  • @stryngtheory well Socrates is kinda saviour like, he was wise and yes he was sacrificed. but if we look for parallels we can find many. That is the primary reason to research archetypal cycles.

    Now have you been watching too much of the movie "God who wasn' there"?
