Actually a rectangle with manageable size stones is the most practical way to construct millenia old structures. Transporting 100 ton stones and stacking them hundreds of feet high is extremely un practical and even with our most advanced technology it's extremely difficult to transport one 50 ton stone several miles, yet we find these structures all over the ancient world. If it was so easy and practical there would be an easy to understand explanation for this phenomenon yet "experts" offer dozens of different explanations that don't properly explain half of the mystery.

The theory of continental drifting wasn't proposed until 1912. This theory didn't exist when these maps were created so it absolutely wasn't the basis for his multiple maps. Just a small amount of research easily confirms this. The different maps were based on the knowledge that ocean levels rise and fall over time.
Yes! you're right. However before the theory of continental drifting was introduced the scientific world had another theory to explain how the continents once were linked; they had alot of geological evidence for the continents once being together. The then most popular theory was that the earths mass expanded. It's called the expanding earth theory if you'd like to read about it yourself.

The "stable triangle building" observation makes sense. But it's still pretty interesting if these triangle buildings have similar astronomical alignments, have similar myths surrounding them, have similar non trivial building techniques between ancient people separated by continents (or seemingly centuries). We're all human- so if all of those things are in common just because of human brains, that's almost as interesting as the idea there was some shared information somehow.

We wish the ancient world was as simply as we know. The issue is that there's so many gaps of knowledge that it's unreasonable to think that we know it all from it's Inception until today.
I have never personally entertained the idea that Atlantis might be this kind of lost advanced city somewhere.. A part of me does like to entertain the thought that there maybe used to be a place that was called Atlantis (but take away all that over exaggerated advanced sci-fi nonsense) I think some kind of nice settlement could actually be somewhat possible... I'm most intrigued by the Atlas mountains and "The Eye of the Sahara" it looks like it could have been a site that took advantage of some rare & unique natural features in order to create the most similar to Atlantis type of layout. If only there was some water going through the eye of the Sahara. Then we could really see how those natural circular mounds/rings would look with a little bit of contrast & separation between the circular rings of that natural structure.. it's worth at least checking it out
Here’s another way to find Atlantis on a real map: Plato created the story of Atlantis as a parable, but what recent events had inspired him in coming up with this story? There’s the Helike Ruins which was a city in Ancient Greece, which got submerged by a tsunami in 373 BC, during the lifetime of Plato. It’s not an advanced civilization, but it may well have contributed to the Atlantis story with the idea of a sunken city. The coordinates are (38.222E, 22.132N)
Actually there are at least 5 cities (remains of habitations) in the Aegean under water (In mind comes Kehries in Corinth and Paleopolis in Andros). Also in Asia Minor (todays state of Turkey) there is the opposite effect of cities becoming remote from the sea. In the ancient Greek, the term MYTH, μῦθος, refers to unrecorded history, rather than to recorded one, ἱστορία. However, the current historical narrative is religiously biased and consequently avoids the discussion of alternative civilizations; the people still believe the out of Africa hypothesis instead of Denisovian hypothesis as the original species source in order to support the historical aspect of the Eden myth in the middle east.
The 2001 animation, "The lost city or Atlantis" is 100% one of my top favourite movies. I suppose it was very much inspired by Elliot's book from way back when.
@@ProgressIsTheOnlyEvolution You got the story wrong. Plato said that Timaeus told the story and that he heard it from his grandfather who heard it from Solon who heard it from an Egyptian priest. The problem is the story was written in 350 BC and Solon died in 560 BC or two hundred years before the story was written. There is no way that Timaeus' grandfather lived for over two hundred years to tell him the story. The story of Atlantis is just that, a story. BTW Solon was the ATHENIAN statesman who invented democracy.
Good job. If you love old maps, books and mathematical chronology, particularly of the cyclical cataclysms, you need to see archaix. The big questions are, what if Atlantis is not near as old as we've been led to believe, and what if cataclysms come way more often than than imagined.
I love how the people who try to prove Atlantis is real are willing to disregard a million things that don't match whilst themselves have zero tangible evidence other that a paragraph of a written work that's thousand years old by a renowned storyteller who's known to use metaphor like examples in his work.
just imagine archeologists in the future going over fandom wikis and doing the same thing the history channel does with these maps. They were essentially someones worldbuilding fantasy from a few centuries ago
that's a bit of an assumption there Jarod. AI is a VERY recent thing - & still very much a work in progress in terms of generating images. humans are more than capable of creating realistic images - where do you think movie, TV & gaming images come from? AI? - hardly. in the future, maybe - in the present & past, nah, still human creations.
I agree with you. As with most things in history or mythology, there tend to be a actual history which is exaggerated and so become mythology. I think Atlantis existed, but I think a lot of what is believed about Atlantis is myth.
@@Amerikkkanit was. Platos uncle, Solon, was taught the story of Atlantis by egyptian priests. And most of us do not believe the egyptians didnt build the pyramid and sphinx. We just believe they built it(at least the sphinx) thousands of years before they were supposed to be able to. Which has very clear evidence to support it.
@@chancebrown98and how do you know that your idea of when they were supposed to be able to build the pyramids is correct? The pyramids are basically giant rock piles. The slopes of the sides are basically the angle of repose of a mound of loose gravel. People have been stacking rocks since before H. sapiens was a species (I mean this in the sense that if you could meet one of our pre- H. sapiens ancestors, they would probably be smart enough to consider a person). The ancient cultures that built these giant pyramids were just the first cultures large enough to undertake work on such a massive scale, but fundamentally, it's stacking rocks. They already had extremely advanced knowledge of geometry, I think they could figure out big rock go on top of other big rock.
@@chancebrown98 You got the story wrong. Plato said that Timaeus told the story and that he heard it from his grandfather who heard it from Solon who heard it from an Egyptian priest. The problem is the story was written in 350 BC and Solon died in 560 BC or two hundred years before the story was written.

I love the honest quality journalism work you do about trending topics. Would you do a piece on the Brooke Jackson Ventavia case?? Not enough people seem to be doing any journalism on it!
Plato should have set his parable "a long time ago in a galaxy far far away." Although, who knows, maybe in a thousand years some of our descendants will be debating whether light sabres were a technological device or the product of mystic powers.
Awesome video. I'm not in the market for the maps, but would really like to know what led to our modern civilization. A lot of it is well knowns today, but the idea that there were civilizations that we don't know about is interesting.
Plato attributes his knowledge of Atlantis to Solon, a renowned Athenian statesman and lawgiver who visited Egypt around 600 BCE. During his visit, Solon reportedly engaged with Egyptian priests in the city of Sais in the Nile Delta. The priests shared with him ancient records about a powerful island civilisation, Atlantis, that existed thousands of years earlier. These records were said to be preserved on temple walls and in written accounts, documenting a catastrophic event that led to Atlantis’s destruction.
You got the story wrong. Plato said that Timaeus told the story and that he heard it from his grandfather who heard it from Solon who heard it from an Egyptian priest.

There is no way that Timaeus' grandfather lived for over two hundred years to tell him the story. The story of Atlantis is just that, a story made up by Plato. Do you think that in two thousand years people are going to be looking for the lost continent of Westeros?

Soooo pleased you've made this. There is so much pseduoscience out there at the moment. Rogan invites Fint Dibble (Cardiff University Lecturer, Archaeologist) onto his channel, he OWNS the debate. Rogan then spends the next few months inviting people on to pick holes in his archaeology.
I’m 100% sure that Atlantis is actually the Minoan civilization that lived on the island of Crete 3,500+ years ago. And during their time they were a maritime power in the Mediterranean. It’s cities had complex hydraulic systems, and the civilization began declining after a volcanic eruption on the island of Santorini or Cithara. And they traded with Egyptians at their height. It’s Solon of Athens who claimed to find Egyptian records of Atlantis. Which Plato was inspired by to create the story of Atlantis.
"In Greek mythology, Atlas (/ˈætləs/; Greek: Ἄτλας, Átlās) is a Titan condemned to hold up the heavens or sky for eternity after the Titanomachy. Atlas also plays a role in the myths of two of the greatest Greek heroes: Heracles (Hercules in Roman mythology) and Perseus. According to the ancient Greek poet Hesiod, Atlas stood at the ends of the earth in the extreme west. Later, he became commonly identified with the Atlas Mountains in northwest Africa and was said to be the first King of Mauretania (modern-day Morocco and west Algeria, not to be confused with the modern-day country of Mauritania). Atlas was said to have been skilled in philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy. In antiquity, he was credited with inventing the first celestial sphere. In some texts, he is even credited with the invention of astronomy itself." Edit forgot to copy paste: "The "Atlantic Ocean" is derived from "Sea of Atlas". The name of Atlantis mentioned in Plato's Timaeus' dialogue derives from "Atlantis nesos" (Ancient Greek: Ἀτλαντὶς νῆσος), literally meaning "Atlas's Island"."
My favorite part of Johnny's videos is the "look at this map" to start out, followed by some of the sickest visuals of all time. I wish I had money dude I would love to be on your Patreon one day.

Atlantis is likely NEITHER entirely real nor purely myth. Instead, it may represent a blend of an actual historical place and thousands of years of evolving storytelling, which transformed it into the legend we know today. The best way to approach subjects like Atlantis is to maintain a truly open mind, even when considering theories that seem improbable or defy current scientific understanding. At the same time, it’s essential to filter these ideas through a logical and reasoned perspective, recognizing how historical events often evolve into folklore over generations. This balance allows for exploration without abandoning critical thinking. 14:41
The Richat Structure (the “Eye of the Sahara”) in Mauritania is a compelling candidate for the location of Atlantis. This massive circular formation, with its concentric rings, closely matches Plato’s description of Atlantis as a city surrounded by alternating rings of land and water. Thousands of years ago, during a wetter climate and higher sea levels, the Sahara was lush and likely connected to the Atlantic Ocean, placing the Richat Structure in a coastal or island-like environment. Over millennia, tectonic shifts and erosion transformed the area into the desert we see today. The geological features and environmental history make it a strong possibility that this site inspired the Atlantis legend.
i think the craziest thing about human evolution and history is that from all we know, humans used to live in caves for tens of thousands of years. seemingly no technological advancements up to a certain point and i truly wonder if we are just wrong and that these long lost civilizations actually existed and are still buried deep beneath the earth and ocean or are simply lost to time. the progress humanity made within the last thousand years is just crazy when you think about that imo. and realistically, if it was real a million years ago, errosion could have easily destroyed any evidence of it.
"People like to believe" all too often is the same thing as people don't like to think. Belief is a powerful tool. And it is also the center of many horrendous acts (including wars) because thinking is hard.
As an Astronomy professor - who is tired of answering questions about the Flat Earth, the Young Earth, the Apollo Landing Hoax, and much more - I can tell you many people want to believe in things without good supporting evidence. I now have a lesson called "Data Don't Speak - Evidence Must Be Interpreted" that explains why doing good science is so difficult that no one is successful at it 100% of the time... but some don't even try to do it right.
I read somewhere that Hyperborea may have been located where the bering straight is but dates before Atlantis and Lemuria. The beings on Hyperborea weren't fully physical yet but set up the foundations for beings to come into flesh.
I like that we're back to maps and history. Can we please keep the videos like this and steer away from politics? We see more than enough about politics every single day. But we rarely get nice, educational content anymore. I enjoy the CIA secret stuff and similar stuff, but politics and criticizing militaries isn't something that i want to hear even more about when my news feed is flooded with it already. Please stick with maps, geography, science and mysteries. Many of us, not all, but many would greatly appreciate it.
Ever since I was 6 (17 now), I've always wondered why were there structures in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Now, I don't believe that it was very technologically advanced, but there were ancient cities that had that were very similar. Like Tenochtitlán: The ancient city of Mexico City looks vaguely like Atlantis could've looked like. Which, a lot of scientific-backed facts about tectonics, ice ages, and the land that actually used to exist just by looking at a old maps and modern maps makes a lot of sense.
Random dude writes a sci-fi novel, complete with made-up maps. 100 years later, people go “Are they real?” Imagine a hundred years from now people be like “Are LOTR, Marvel Comics real?

@@StandinOnBuniss 'proved' is not the right word, not even Jimmy says he has proved it, and he aknowledges the theory he supports wasnt originally made by him, he wasnt the creator to connect the eye of the sahara and atlantis
I have been searching for a map, internet and in libraries on and around cape cod for a map of cape cod, BEFORE the canal was dug. I do believe you cannot produce one, “Mr. Map Man.” I hope you find that as such a bad insult, because it can be construed as a compliment. Thanks for all your work Man! 🙏
In Portugal I always heard that its archipelago of Azores, were actually the last geographical remains of Atlantis. They do have some god tier food.
My first thought when he showed the map was “oh, I guess Atlantis is just the Azores.”
I love the music and sound design on your videos, it always keep up with the theme of the script which helps to picture the topic your explaining. Props for your team and Tom Fox 👍
We wish the ancient world was as simply as we know. The issue is that there's so many gaps of knowledge that it's unreasonable to think that we know it all from it's Inception until today.
'It's an ongoing debate' *LITERALLY CALLED IT PSEUDOSCIENCE.
Thanks for the video, always interesting. Looking forward now for a video on Pacificis, Indianis, Arcticis and Antarticis!
I have never personally entertained the idea that Atlantis might be this kind of lost advanced city somewhere.. A part of me does like to entertain the thought that there maybe used to be a place that was called Atlantis (but take away all that over exaggerated advanced sci-fi nonsense) I think some kind of nice settlement could actually be somewhat possible...
I'm most intrigued by the Atlas mountains and "The Eye of the Sahara" it looks like it could have been a site that took advantage of some rare & unique natural features in order to create the most similar to Atlantis type of layout. If only there was some water going through the eye of the Sahara. Then we could really see how those natural circular mounds/rings would look with a little bit of contrast & separation between the circular rings of that natural structure.. it's worth at least checking it out
I dare you to make “Was the moon landing real”
This is an incredible video. I can tell you guys put a lot of work into it and I love it.
Here’s another way to find Atlantis on a real map: Plato created the story of Atlantis as a parable, but what recent events had inspired him in coming up with this story? There’s the Helike Ruins which was a city in Ancient Greece, which got submerged by a tsunami in 373 BC, during the lifetime of Plato. It’s not an advanced civilization, but it may well have contributed to the Atlantis story with the idea of a sunken city. The coordinates are (38.222E, 22.132N)
Actually there are at least 5 cities (remains of habitations) in the Aegean under water (In mind comes Kehries in Corinth and Paleopolis in Andros). Also in Asia Minor (todays state of Turkey) there is the opposite effect of cities becoming remote from the sea. In the ancient Greek, the term MYTH, μῦθος, refers to unrecorded history, rather than to recorded one, ἱστορία. However, the current historical narrative is religiously biased and consequently avoids the discussion of alternative civilizations; the people still believe the out of Africa hypothesis instead of Denisovian hypothesis as the original species source in order to support the historical aspect of the Eden myth in the middle east.
Of course.
Or he went to a public bath, saw his body covered in water, and thought "hey, what if a whole city can sink like this?"
Thank you for coming back to maps. I find maps and the history behind them to be fascinating.
I always thought the myth was inspired by the destruction of Santorini and the following tsunami that wiped out the Minoans
Finally, a topic won't draw criticism and rapid topic changes.
We all know that when Johnny boy says "look at this map" shits gonna be fire.
The 2001 animation, "The lost city or Atlantis" is 100% one of my top favourite movies. I suppose it was very much inspired by Elliot's book from way back when.
It starts with Plato, and it also ends with him because he is the only character who mentions it and then the rest are just Dreamers from current age.
Yeah but Plato was told about Atlantis from the Egyptian stateman and priest Solon, who did not live 9000 years before.
@@ProgressIsTheOnlyEvolution You got the story wrong. Plato said that Timaeus told the story and that he heard it from his grandfather who heard it from Solon who heard it from an Egyptian priest. The problem is the story was written in 350 BC and Solon died in 560 BC or two hundred years before the story was written. There is no way that Timaeus' grandfather lived for over two hundred years to tell him the story. The story of Atlantis is just that, a story.
BTW Solon was the ATHENIAN statesman who invented democracy.
All I'm getting is Plato is responsible for the Holocaust
I highly recommend Miniminuteman channel, there Milo debunks each episode of Ancient Apocalypse.
Well, not surprising since there is this little something called the 'Atlantic Ocean' (or 'Atlantische Oceaan' in Dutch)... it's far from new🙄
Good job. If you love old maps, books and mathematical chronology, particularly of the cyclical cataclysms, you need to see archaix.
The big questions are, what if Atlantis is not near as old as we've been led to believe, and what if cataclysms come way more often than than imagined.
I love how the people who try to prove Atlantis is real are willing to disregard a million things that don't match whilst themselves have zero tangible evidence other that a paragraph of a written work that's thousand years old by a renowned storyteller who's known to use metaphor like examples in his work.

If you are going to use AI to generate images, I think it would be nice to call that out. Put a little tag in there. "AI Generated".

that's a bit of an assumption there Jarod. AI is a VERY recent thing - & still very much a work in progress in terms of generating images. humans are more than capable of creating realistic images - where do you think movie, TV & gaming images come from? AI? - hardly. in the future, maybe - in the present & past, nah, still human creations.
@@jamesmather75 It seems you're unfamiliar with the concept of art vs a photograph of something real.
2:43 this makes me think of the short story "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas"
The Atlantis story of Plato probably is based on the events that happened during tthe early bronze age in the island of now Santorino.
I agree with you. As with most things in history or mythology, there tend to be a actual history which is exaggerated and so become mythology. I think Atlantis existed, but I think a lot of what is believed about Atlantis is myth.
Look up Dolmens. Fascinating stuff. Megalithic structures that appear through out coastal regions of the world.
Inventing a wholeass futuristic ancient civilization just to explain that the egyptians didn't build the pyramids is WILD
Wasnt it the Egyptians themselves that gave the story of Atlantis to Plato?
@@Amerikkkanit was. Platos uncle, Solon, was taught the story of Atlantis by egyptian priests. And most of us do not believe the egyptians didnt build the pyramid and sphinx. We just believe they built it(at least the sphinx) thousands of years before they were supposed to be able to. Which has very clear evidence to support it.
@@chancebrown98and how do you know that your idea of when they were supposed to be able to build the pyramids is correct? The pyramids are basically giant rock piles. The slopes of the sides are basically the angle of repose of a mound of loose gravel. People have been stacking rocks since before H. sapiens was a species (I mean this in the sense that if you could meet one of our pre- H. sapiens ancestors, they would probably be smart enough to consider a person). The ancient cultures that built these giant pyramids were just the first cultures large enough to undertake work on such a massive scale, but fundamentally, it's stacking rocks. They already had extremely advanced knowledge of geometry, I think they could figure out big rock go on top of other big rock.
@@chancebrown98 You got the story wrong. Plato said that Timaeus told the story and that he heard it from his grandfather who heard it from Solon who heard it from an Egyptian priest. The problem is the story was written in 350 BC and Solon died in 560 BC or two hundred years before the story was written.

I love the honest quality journalism work you do about trending topics.
Would you do a piece on the Brooke Jackson Ventavia case?? Not enough people seem to be doing any journalism on it!
Your videos are awesome 💯😎
Plato should have set his parable "a long time ago in a galaxy far far away." Although, who knows, maybe in a thousand years some of our descendants will be debating whether light sabres were a technological device or the product of mystic powers.
The city of Atlantis is not the city of the past, but a floating city of the future made of hubris.
Awesome video. I'm not in the market for the maps, but would really like to know what led to our modern civilization. A lot of it is well knowns today, but the idea that there were civilizations that we don't know about is interesting.
Plato attributes his knowledge of Atlantis to Solon, a renowned Athenian statesman and lawgiver who visited Egypt around 600 BCE. During his visit, Solon reportedly engaged with Egyptian priests in the city of Sais in the Nile Delta. The priests shared with him ancient records about a powerful island civilisation, Atlantis, that existed thousands of years earlier. These records were said to be preserved on temple walls and in written accounts, documenting a catastrophic event that led to Atlantis’s destruction.

Do you think that in two thousand years people are going to be looking for the lost continent of Westeros?

I know everyone does them but I feel that the clickbaity thumbnails hurt your credibility :/
Genuinely love all your videos and what you do though, keep up the good work!
This video was only an AD for the sale of his inaccurate map of "Atlantis"
Soooo pleased you've made this. There is so much pseduoscience out there at the moment. Rogan invites Fint Dibble (Cardiff University Lecturer, Archaeologist) onto his channel, he OWNS the debate. Rogan then spends the next few months inviting people on to pick holes in his archaeology.
I’m 100% sure that Atlantis is actually the Minoan civilization that lived on the island of Crete 3,500+ years ago. And during their time they were a maritime power in the Mediterranean. It’s cities had complex hydraulic systems, and the civilization began declining after a volcanic eruption on the island of Santorini or Cithara. And they traded with Egyptians at their height. It’s Solon of Athens who claimed to find Egyptian records of Atlantis. Which Plato was inspired by to create the story of Atlantis.
Seeing as thumbnail about a fascinating fiction from a pragmatic & knowledgeable person like you made me click this video and learn worthy information
who named atlantic?
"In Greek mythology, Atlas (/ˈætləs/; Greek: Ἄτλας, Átlās) is a Titan condemned to hold up the heavens or sky for eternity after the Titanomachy. Atlas also plays a role in the myths of two of the greatest Greek heroes: Heracles (Hercules in Roman mythology) and Perseus. According to the ancient Greek poet Hesiod, Atlas stood at the ends of the earth in the extreme west. Later, he became commonly identified with the Atlas Mountains in northwest Africa and was said to be the first King of Mauretania (modern-day Morocco and west Algeria, not to be confused with the modern-day country of Mauritania). Atlas was said to have been skilled in philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy. In antiquity, he was credited with inventing the first celestial sphere. In some texts, he is even credited with the invention of astronomy itself."
Edit forgot to copy paste: "The "Atlantic Ocean" is derived from "Sea of Atlas". The name of Atlantis mentioned in Plato's Timaeus' dialogue derives from "Atlantis nesos" (Ancient Greek: Ἀτλαντὶς νῆσος), literally meaning "Atlas's Island"."
My favorite part of Johnny's videos is the "look at this map" to start out, followed by some of the sickest visuals of all time.

Can't wait for that one.
They're both journalists. Not historians.
Atlantis is likely NEITHER entirely real nor purely myth.
Instead, it may represent a blend of an actual historical place and thousands of years of evolving storytelling, which transformed it into the legend we know today. The best way to approach subjects like Atlantis is to maintain a truly open mind, even when considering theories that seem improbable or defy current scientific understanding. At the same time, it’s essential to filter these ideas through a logical and reasoned perspective, recognizing how historical events often evolve into folklore over generations. This balance allows for exploration without abandoning critical thinking. 14:41
The Richat Structure (the “Eye of the Sahara”) in Mauritania is a compelling candidate for the location of Atlantis. This massive circular formation, with its concentric rings, closely matches Plato’s description of Atlantis as a city surrounded by alternating rings of land and water. Thousands of years ago, during a wetter climate and higher sea levels, the Sahara was lush and likely connected to the Atlantic Ocean, placing the Richat Structure in a coastal or island-like environment. Over millennia, tectonic shifts and erosion transformed the area into the desert we see today. The geological features and environmental history make it a strong possibility that this site inspired the Atlantis legend.
I havent watched it but man, this is a crazy title especially that Johnny Harris is covering it
i think the craziest thing about human evolution and history is that from all we know, humans used to live in caves for tens of thousands of years. seemingly no technological advancements up to a certain point and i truly wonder if we are just wrong and that these long lost civilizations actually existed and are still buried deep beneath the earth and ocean or are simply lost to time. the progress humanity made within the last thousand years is just crazy when you think about that imo. and realistically, if it was real a million years ago, errosion could have easily destroyed any evidence of it.
"People like to believe" all too often is the same thing as people don't like to think.
Belief is a powerful tool. And it is also the center of many horrendous acts (including wars) because thinking is hard.
After all the Altantis Version. Now we got the Johny Harris Version of Atlantis. Basicly Johny said, johnny is more right then every one else.
Bit of a missed opportunity to dive deep into the debunking. This is a lite grift to get his name on an Atlantis video

As an Astronomy professor - who is tired of answering questions about the Flat Earth, the Young Earth, the Apollo Landing Hoax, and much more - I can tell you many people want to believe in things without good supporting evidence.
I now have a lesson called "Data Don't Speak - Evidence Must Be Interpreted" that explains why doing good science is so difficult that no one is successful at it 100% of the time... but some don't even try to do it right.
what about agartha and hyperborrea?
its next to the continent of asgard past the great ice wall
what about it?
I read somewhere that Hyperborea may have been located where the bering straight is but dates before Atlantis and Lemuria. The beings on Hyperborea weren't fully physical yet but set up the foundations for beings to come into flesh.
I like that we're back to maps and history. Can we please keep the videos like this and steer away from politics? We see more than enough about politics every single day. But we rarely get nice, educational content anymore. I enjoy the CIA secret stuff and similar stuff, but politics and criticizing militaries isn't something that i want to hear even more about when my news feed is flooded with it already. Please stick with maps, geography, science and mysteries. Many of us, not all, but many would greatly appreciate it.
Ever since I was 6 (17 now), I've always wondered why were there structures in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Now, I don't believe that it was very technologically advanced, but there were ancient cities that had that were very similar. Like Tenochtitlán: The ancient city of Mexico City looks vaguely like Atlantis could've looked like.
Which, a lot of scientific-backed facts about tectonics, ice ages, and the land that actually used to exist just by looking at a old maps and modern maps makes a lot of sense.
Random dude writes a sci-fi novel, complete with made-up maps.
100 years later, people go “Are they real?”

hi johnny. i enjoy the videos you and your team create. however, you appear to be using what looks like generative AI in a lot of your videos recently. i understand these videos take a long time and have a strict budget, but please consider just hiring real artists. generative AI is complete garbage that steals the hard work of human artists and it contributes to the destruction of our natural environment due to the amount of energy used to create those images. this is a practice myself and other artists across many industries are trying to fight back on, and by using it you're helping to normalise it. really enjoyed the video, but please think on what i said. not trying to come across as rude, just passionate!
