    In my lifetime Troy went from an apocryphal location to an archeologically verified city in present day Turkey that was besieged and burnt right on schedule. And, for the first time in over a thousand years, not repopulated. The Homeric legends might be full of fiction but the city ruins were very real to the ancient and classic Greeks colonizing Asia Minor and the Black Sea. Also a Mycenaen palace found in Thessaly is a strong match for Iolcus from whence the Argo sailed.

      They didn't really seal the deal on verification until the 1930-40s, no? Prior to that, even Schliemann couldn't be positive. Wilhelm Dörpfeld and Carl Blegen were the ones who kinda confirmed it was actually Troy of Homer's speaking.

    Alot of these stories of down-right near impossible alot of them do end up being true, the kraken being colossal squid, rouge waves being actually true.
    Part of me just feels like more sailors stories will end up being (partly) true. Not poets or writers stories btw, real sailors stories.

    The cognitive dissonance of the writers (and host) here is amazing. I have watched many episodes where they just laugh and mock people for searching for places like Atlantis, and hear them say that it's "just a story." Well, what about these 5 examples. They were abandoned, 'forgotten to time' (your words), and relegated to story.
    Until they were found again.
    Now I'm not saying that places like Atlantis and El Dorado are actually real, but I am saying that the mockery and degradation of the people who do believe in them is misplaced. Just because it hasn't been found yet doesn't mean they did exist.

    • @semaj_5022
      @semaj_5022 Год назад +1

      The difference is that Atlantis is known to be fictional(El Dorado, too). We have the record of its first mention in Plato's dialogue, "Critias," as well as his descriptions of its exact location, size, and layout. Aside from the fact we recognize Atlantis as an allegorical storytelling device thought up by Plato(especially as he had a history of doing the exact same thing in other dialogues), we have known for centuries that there is no island where Plato said Atlantis to be located, and for decades that there is no evidence of such having ever existed.
      Many of these lost cities were just that: lost. Either no record of them survives to the modern day, or that record is vague and muddled, with an ill-defined location. It's only with a mix of careful study and more modern technology and surveying techniques that we've been able to uncover so many such lost sites.
      I will concede that the scientific establishment has, at times, brushed off or openly mocked claims about ancient sites, especially claims from indigenous peoples, only for said sites to later be discovered. However, that does not equivocate places like Atlantis with these real world locations.
      When people still steadfastly hold firm to beliefs that not only have no evidence to support them, and which actually have evidence to the contrary, they open themselves up to ridicule. Do I think they deserve ridicule? As long as they do no harm, no. But I also do not believe they should be immune from it.

Anyting that takes 4,500 years to trade is unlikely to be very profitable. I guess the proceeds of this trade would be realized in 6523 AD. Seems a bad decision.
