The Historical Atlantis: Can Plato's Works Uncover Its Location or Teach Us a Moral Lesson?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2024
- We dive into Plato's original texts to explore the mystery of Atlantis, attempting to pinpoint where this fabled city could have been. Using the key features and descriptions provided by Plato, we'll evaluate the possible landscapes and examine if history and archaeology offer any evidence for Atlantis's mighty site. This feature also opens a meaningful conversation about the resources of Atlantis as Plato's conceptual vision-a city that perhaps served more to lecture on power, essence, and consequence rather than to mark a photograph in the thick of the sea.
Our path doesn't just follow the global path of the perfect delivery of Atlantis but also entertains the moral epitomes and ciphers maybe deeply implanted within the age-old account. Was Atlantis a real global homeland with reign and sophistication that only vanished underneath the tides, or did Plato's references look to exhibit grand measures of honor and intention, impersonating a civic rule of story than past happenstance?

Maybe the real Atlantis was the friends we made along the way 😔
We were all thinking it;
you said it for us all 😂
Always was 😄

(throws it in into a body of water a fit of exasperation)
LOVE the art!!!
Thanks, brother!
I am saving this gem for later today but will leave one comment - "Atlantis divides the world into those who know it's worth and those who laugh it off as fantasy."
I knew this was going to be a challenge, maybe because I have some complex ideas due to many years of interest and research. I couldn't possibly delve into what I may agree with, what I definitely discount and what I can only imagine, compared to the many opinions already out there, because I am intending to cover this in a book I am already writing.
However, even though I knew you would have to skim across the subject like a pebble skimming out into a pond, I think you made a very credible evaluation of several possibilities, while offering tangible factors to discount others.
I did enjoy it, but have to admit I am none the wiser!! Thank you for your wise and scholarly work, L.L.
Thank you. It's always easier when I'm fairly certain I have the right answer, and this is not one of those times 😄
Atlantis is the entire place. The huge “Ring”that we live in. Sad 90% have no clue where they live. Maybe read Plato to have a better understanding as to where we are.
If Earth were not the center of the universe, but a revolving body circling the Sun, as some ancient and modern philosophers maintain, there would be no possibility of life upon it. Violent winds would sweep everything to the ground. Besides, it would be remarkable if Earth alone were to move steadily on its axis, while all the other planets varied in latitude. Finally, as Earth is the largest and densest of all bodies, it stands to reason that it would be at the center of the more rarefied ones, and less apt to move than any of the others. ~ Robert Fludd
What currently makes the most sense to me is the Rishat Structure in Northern Africa. It would match with the cycles of the Sahara Desert switching between green lands and sandy desert as procession wobbles the earth.
And cultures like the Phoenicians and Carthaginians could’ve been colonies that had Atlantean common ancestors.
Also, great channel. Have you given any thought to some relaxing music in the background?
Seems some people aren't up to date, but the Richat Structure in Mauritania fits all the criteria. There really isn't any doubt left, we now need archeology to do its thing and confirm. And so Plato's map was very precise in fact, just no one bothered to read it correctly being hung up in historical and geographical dogma.
Atlantis sinking underneath the water as described by the Egyptian priest, is around the same time ice age ended
That's a really interesting suggestion! No manmade structures have been found there, but you make a good point - plus it *is* sort of beyond the Pillars of Hercules. It could be connected to nearby settlements. I'll have to mull it over and do some reading.
I've thought about adding music but haven't given it a try, yet. Perhaps I should.
I Enjoyed the video, but what about the lower ocean levels during the YD. And the fact that tectonic plates do move up and down which could account for the sinking of Atlantis whereas you wouldn't find its remnants at the mountain tops of the Azores or canaries which are now islands but rather at the ocean floor which would have been its shoreline.
Stan Deyo speculates that Atlantis used to be located on what is now the Arabian peninsula's Persian Gulf coast.
Others claim that the "Pillars of Hercules" demarcate the Strait of Gibraltar.
The traces of ancient Atlantean (=antediluvian or pre-flood) civilisation preserved in the archaeological record of the Arabian coast of the Persian Gulf suggest this could be a valid site for Atlantis, once the colossal earth-changes following the great flood that sunk Atlantis are factored in.
The timaeus makes it clear it was an Island in the Atlantic ocean, the name itself is a clue as well Atlantis - atlantic, the timaeus also makes it clear by saying it was necessary to dock at this island to reach the americans and to come back (they don't call them americas but they say the "continents beyond the ocean", the plural itself is proof they knew about the americans, too convenient for it to be a coincidence.
Thought Atlantis wasn't the only empire/civilization forgotten/removed/recorded before known history, so they may as well been something else in the persian gulf.

One of the main identifying themes of Atlantis, the Atlantean integrated circular ritual architecture described in the ancient writings, is what serves as the archaeological identifier found widely across coastal areas along the Arabian Peninsula's Persian Gulf Coast.
And if one travelled to America via the Indian Ocean from the ancient Mediterranean, it is possible that one would have traversed across a different geographical reality in the Persian Gulf, which no longer exists, as a result of the earth changes caused by the greater upheaval that lead to the demise of Atlantis.
Stan Deyo demonstrates that this is a viable, yet largely unexplored, in fact: plausible possibility.
This specific scenario involves the Arabian Peninsula having been an Island before the demise of Atlantis, which would have allowed for direct water passage from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean (& America) via what is now the Persian Gulf.
Interesting, and not an unreasonable assumption that Atlantis could have been an Arab civilization. I don't know of Stan Deyo, but will check him out. Thanks, brother.
@@TheLegendaryLore
It would have likely not been an Arab civilisation per sé, but rather one preceding the people we now know as Arabs today.
The lore of ancient God-Kings of long lost high civilisations incidentally also is reflected in very concrete terms and in great detail in the accounts to this effect from the ancient writings in the Dead Sea Scrolls, which are a true treasure trove to this effect, as they have only become freely available for study across the web within the last two decades, and give a big picture perspective to ancient lores we are generally familiar with, but never came to realise were so connected to many other ancient records we have possessed throughout many millennia.
I would specifically recommend scholar Ken Johnson on the Dead Sea Scrolls studies and ancient civilisation records for further investigation.
I remember him also doing some investigation into ancient Atlantis on the basis of the Dead Sea Scrolls; you know, those ancient scrolls found in the caves in Israel, near the Dead Sea, almost a century ago...
Quite a curiosity to realise they would speak to these topics...
A continent across the atlantic ... HMMMMM WHAT COULD IT BE?!??
A lot of people confuse the description of the continent and the capital country of Atlas.
Very true! If Atlantis was indeed a historical place, the name would probably have represented both the capital and the civilization.
@@TheLegendaryLore As the story literary tells : "and after him the whole island(continent) and the ocean were called Atlantic"
From that "island" you can travel to all the continents... (asia, europe, africa)
The ocean levels were 300 m lower than they are today when the ice age ended
I believe the Atlantis was its capital and had a bunch of colonies worldwide
Plato didn’t invent the story of Atlantis he got it from Egyptian priest
First and foremost, Plato got this story from an Egyptian priest.
The whole”he made it up for the lolz” is crazy since he literally retelling a story he heard
The ending of Atlantis lines up with the younger dryads
Atlantis capital is either the eye of Sahara, or in the middle Atlantic Ocean
How would 300 feet of rising seawater impact the earth surface?
You should do a episode on the kurgans mounts, and how the Scythians had the 1st empire and oldest civilization
[Dryas]
Atlantis has been found.it Is the Sardinian Corsican geological block
