It is weird how we just forget things, and then in the future we start to think if they really existed or not. In some thousand years maybe people are not sure if New York was really a place or not
Literally every thing adds up from the measurements to the identical rocks describe by plato to the mountains in the north with rivers in them and an opening that would open to the sea to the freshwater spring in the center to the metals they had witch is the same as mauritanias main export, they even found elephant bones all over the place and Atlantis was supposed to have an abundance of elephants not to mentions if you raise the sea level that spot would be an island
Guys I’m from 2107 and in 2056 they finally believed that it was at the Eye of the Sahara and in 2063 they started building a city in the shape of Atlantis, also time machines are made 1 year later and we saved the Library of Alexandria and we are so smart lolol It’s now it’s own country
Just have to point out that while Plato was known to write some aligorical tales, he made a point to say as much either in the title or in the "prologue" of the "book". And at the beginning of the take of Atlantis he states that it is a true story. Not sure if I believe it is for sure the location, but the eye of the Sahara is a likely location for Atlantis.
There is no proof that Atlantis ever existed, and there is a lot more proof that it didn't exist. We should all try to look at facts and logic instead of believing psuedoarchaeology. Nothing in this video states credible and logical proof of this.
Atlantis and Atlantic Ocean? Any one ever wander what was named first or maybe some clues. I don't know much about this stuff but It's just a thought. im just Curious.
@@transam8607Plato wrote the story about Atlantis in 360 B.C. The first documented use of Atlantic was in the sixth century BC by a Greek poet, Atlantikôi pelágei or the “Sea of Atlas.” Atlantis first. Although this is kind of irrelevant as the in the original text, Plato used the word Atlas instead. But because of the grammatical error, it is now known as the Atlantis. But both words have the same origin the Titan god, Atlas who was doomed to carry the heavens or the sky.
Alright, this is an old video, but hear me out. Near the island of Sardinia, Italy, there are underwater ruins of buildings from thousands of years ago. They were also somewhat advanced for their age. There were also signs of volcanic rock and ash burying the buildings deeper underwater, so I and many others speculate that Atlantis was in Sardinia! Also, to drive my point, the ancient Sardinians were already somewhat advanced early on in human culture.
Pixel _ Beast paved roads and a sewer system almost a thousand years before anyone else in the Mediterranean. Quite an expansive trade network, too. Same can be said of the Minoans on Crete. The volcanic theory carries weight because that area of the world is RAMPANT with volcanic activity.
Go watch Bright Insight, who says that Atlantis is the Eye of Africa, I know it's incredible, Atlantis isn't even under the water! But he has a lot of good, very *GOOD* proofs for that.
There isbone problem with you theory.... blonde hair and blue eyes plato wrote so himself. Next they had a professional army who fought resitence but left the farmers alone.... now how does this translate to africa? Slavery was great in africa from the times off the egyptians. And pherhaos even before that.... its called the sunken city. If you are right the sea levels used to be higher... which is a load of crap seeing how climate morons scream we will die if it rises more.. pretty sure the sea dint drop down levels atlantis sunk it wasnt laid dry......

You know, I actually think the idea of very advanced ancient civilizations being connected in some way to each other while being simultaneously wiped out within a short time period is both awesome and also terrifying. I wonder what will end this current cycle? .o.
I was really looking forward to watching this video, then suddenly my mind was shut off and all I could hear was muurrr muurrr muurrr muurrr. Because something deep inside of my soul truly believes that Atlantis really did and still does exist, within our DNA. I love every theory and story that people come up with Atlantis because over all, there's still that belief system whether someone believes it or not, you still talk about it whether it matters or not, whether it be an opinion or not. It's still in your existence. Does give me hope that one day we will all be in unity with Divine source. Love and light upon us all, Namaste.
Although it would be so awesome that Atlantis would be real, it is clear based on the lack of scientific evidence that backs up your argument. We need to make sure we look at the reality of the facts presented to us rather than pseudoarcheology. They are great theories though I agree with that!
Jordy 54 that’s at least that’s the story he wrote yes. And according to him, Solon learned of it through the Egyptians. Not siding with or against you, but it is possible he could’ve made it up, seeing as they stated much of what he and other philosophers write is purely allegorical. It is also possible it was written in some ancient Egyptian texts that have been lost somewhere to time.
Justin Little he also wrote that within every man there lies a lion and a hundred headed beast and supported aristocracy. Look I’m not saying I don’t believe there were ancient civilizations. I actually do believe humans were far more advanced than we give them credit for before the younger dryas extinction event. And I said it could be real or fake. It could be an allegory, or it could be real. I’m just saying we don’t know and you can’t take the writing of one man as proof of the existence of any specific situations. However I think there is other evidence that shows the existence of these civilizations.
@@christianmeyers7149 exactly, there is more than one source. I'm not just believing what see, I'm a man of proof and from what I've seen, Atlantis was very much a real place.
I had once a strange dream that I was sailing to an island with a vibrant structures, as I ashore to the island I entered into a cave seeing statues like gods and tombs, and I was praying on one of the tomb. Seeing the island you pictured made me remember my dream. It was amazing tho, and I believe it has something to tell..
I learned in school that Plato had a source for his stories. He talked to a man in Egypt who's name I now have forgotten, but it was some kind of priest who told him about Atlantis. It was said to have happened 10 000 years before that which had to be around the time of the flood. It's true there must be something behind that flood. There's proof of it when you look at the sphinx, which has traces of erosion.
Learning something from school means completely nothing on topics like this. If half the people in the world believed in Atlantis being a real place at one point then that means there is a 50% shot you were told about it from someone that wants you to think the same thing. Plato was able to leave traces of his writing for us to read about it today. But the rest of the population back then had no idea about Atlantis because you would think that the knowledge of a place that large would have more stories about it through time.
You mean the sphinx underwent the supposed flood that drowned the island and the world? The sphinx existed 7000 years after the destruction of Atlantis. Meaning sphinx should've been as old as the island.
Just because the Sphinx has traces of erosion does not mean it was caused by the Great Flood, there are thousands of other ways the Sphinx could have been eroded, from human interaction, to weather, to literally the passage of time causes things to erode. Also just because Plato had a singular source, that doesn't automatically make his point valid.
I remember reading Plato's Republic. Some heavy political and moral philosophy presented with logic and reason that can be debated in a practical manner. And then he randomly drops the idea of Atlantis.
Pasted from an earlier reply to someone another similar comment; "[The Richat Structure] is/was definitely not Atlantis as the rings can only be seen from the air and what Plato was describing was more similar to Dante's visions than a massive geologic structure so big that its shape is obscured by the curvature of the Earth's surface. The area has also been studies quite a bit and while there is evidence of ancient people's there is no proof of Atlantis or any else that confirms Plato's writings except the shape, but again; it can only be seen from the air."
Yes, because we know for a fact ancient people were incapable of determining the shape of big round things without watching them, such as the Earth... Uhmm wait!
Guys if you want to see where Atlantis really is then look up the Eye of the Sahara or the Richard structure, it's barely talked about and geologists are confused about its origin as its far too unusual to be natural. It's strikingly similar to how Plato described Atlantis, the circular islands with the nearby mountains and the whole area looks like it was hit by a tsunami. Not to mention a few of human artifacts have been discovered there but it's never been excavated. Whether it's truly Atlantis is up for speculation but if you don't believe me then look it up.
The eruption of the Thera volcano was very likely the strong inspiration for Plato's Atlantis story. After all, we have the geologic evidence that the northern coast of Crete was swamped by a massive tsunami around the same the time Thera erupted--a tsunami powerful enough to wipe out the Minoan culture on the northern coast of that island.
I personally believe that the Richat Structure AKA The Eye of the Sahara is what's left of Atlantis and that if some scientists were to dig around the area they'd find it
What about Dwarka. That story matches what IGS said Plato says about Atlantis. It was once a great city that was flooded by the gods because the people became corrupt and greedy.
@@PVempati the problem is Atlantis was in the Atlantic. But many several civilisations are said to have emerged around 12.000 years ago but were destroyed by a cataclismic event, most probably because of a comet that melted most of the ice and caused a flood. Look up Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson. They really make great points on this
This video is a classic example of Occam’s Razor. It says that Atlantis was a city that the Greek philosopher Plato told stories about, stating it was a “perfect” civilization where the people were “god-like” but also human. Then, these people started to get corrupt and greedy, trying to expand into other places and losing their way. For that, the gods sent them earthquakes, floods, and other disasters and wiped out the civilization. Then he said in a single night, Atlantis sank into the sea. Many people to this day still debate whether this story was true. Many debate the location of Atlantis. Some think it was in the Mediterranean, others say the Caribbean, and some even think it was near Antarctica. People have been searching for this lost civilization, but no specific evidence has been found. Even after all this time of people searching and searching and no evidence has been found, some still believe that The Lost City of Atlantis is out there. This is a classic example of Occam’s Razor, where the simplest answer is the most likely one. Atlantis was most likely an allegory made by Plato on the hubris of nations, as there has been no evidence other than the story that Plato told of this civilization ever existing. Plato most likely told this story to teach people a lesson, as he never told anyone a location or gave any objective evidence of Atlantis's existence.
I would love to see a video over the theory for Atlantis as the Eye of The Sahara, even if to debunk it. I've seen a few videos over it, but from less than reputable sources, and think it would be a great video idea!
The eye of the Sahara is the most likely location I’ve heard of, but at the very least it’s an area worth looking at regardless of whether you’re searching for a specific lost city, it’s so perfectly symmetrical which implies it could be remnants of something man made. Hopefully there’s a rich person out there that’ll one day fund something like that, it’s a shame money is such a barrier when trying to learn about the past.
Hi there, the Eye is not perfectly symmetrical at ground level. Only from space does it look smooth and symmetrical. It is in fact a large geological rock formation (not man made) with no evidence of human cities within (only visits by local Hunter gatherer tribes). There’s no evidence Plato would have even known it existed. He likely made up Atlantis, or was thinking of Greek or other eastern Mediterranean cities that had been destroyed in the past or his own lifetime.
@@akimus34 He didnt made up atlantis, one of his relatives went to egypt about 300 years before plato and some egyptian priests told the guy about atlantis
I’ve discussed myths before. Atlantis is always thrown into the ring at one point or another. Perhaps Plato not only meant Atlantis to be an allegory for “pride before the fall”, but for an Utopia humanity will never reach (and/or keep). Humans will always ruin something, that’s a proven fact (forgive my generalizations) that history has demonstrated several times over. Rome, Greece, Egypt- once great cultures that were devastated by humanity (with nature helping). This isn’t me saying that Atlantis as a lost city doesn’t exist, because this godforsaken Earth of ours keeps spitting out the impossible it seems.
wait there is the bermuda triangle where ''no one'' survives and plato says atlantis is in a spot where no one can reach it hmmm I think I outsmarted the gods
Numenor, in Tolkien's Silmarillion, was based on Atlantis. He was unaware of it at the time until he was told about it. The story of Numemonor's destruction is similar to that of Atlantis. If it existed, Atlantis was probably Minoan Crete.
That's weird, many historians and archaeologists agree there was a catastrophic flood that was the inspiration for the biblical story and a few other similar stories in other religions. Only this flood was certainly not all over our known modern world, but the known world at the time of ancient Mesopotamia. So the great flood occurred somewhere in the Middle East. Mesopotamia (now in modern Iraq) was known for its irregularly flooding rivers. Also, the Persian Gulf has been proven to be formerly dry land that was swallowed up by the waters many thousands of years ago.
This video was pretty bad, considering you were discussing evidence and actually gave us no evidence despite there being plenty out there and then in the end called it a fantasy without delving into any form of evidence...
For some reason the channel is being worse and more rushed. Look at the old videos and they put out their time to animate SEARCHING ON GOOGLE. They also became nationally racist a month ago.
But seriously folks...the most probable explanation is that Plato was referring (perhaps to some extent metaphorically) to the Thera (Santorini) eruption, which in fact did reign significant destruction on Mediterranean civilization. Of course, that happened much more recently than the time cited by Plato. But since he may have received the story from Egyptian historians, the possibility exists that he misinterpreted the date by a factor of ten, thus positing Atlantean civilization as having existed thousands of years earlier. That's my best guess.
I believe Atlantis exists because in Indian mythology there is a similar kingdom called Dwaraka which ended due to a curse. However, surrounding areas have provided evidence of Dwaraka with a documentary even made showing some of the artifacts from the time. It's insane to hear how close to description the two empires are, beautiful, advanced, moral, joyful, etc.
Wanted to share a new finding on Atlantis. Please see RUclips video: Convincing Atlantis. It briefs: 1. Exact location of Atlantis 2. Climate and environment for Atlantis' prosperity 3. How the inundation happened 4. 100% match with Plato's records 5. How the Atlanteans were dispersed Cheers, Holden
If you consider the story comes from Egypt that used a lunar based calendar, maybe the 9,600 years prior to Plato’s retelling is in fact 9,600 *_MONTHS_* prior to the date the story was retold. By that count, you are looking at 800 years prior to Plato’s retelling of the fall of Atlantis. Which lines up nicely with the fall of the Minoan civilization more, or less. Who coincidentally worshipped the bull, were an advanced seafaring people, and were destroyed by a catastrophic volcanic eruption & tsunami. No one even knows the Minoans true name. They are only named as such, due to their bull worship. Just a thought.
It did exist. Everything was beautiful, pretty, amazing. Clean af. You could stair at the buildings for hours. Another level of elegance. Love filled the streets, honor was a constant, new ideas were welcomed embraced and used to the good of all the people. Until like the guy said, they started delving into another dimension. They grew tired of the peace, the calm, and wanted something new. The problem was their way of being gave them powers. They were super humans. So when they tried different emotions, it impacted them very badly. Even more so cause they’re higher way of thinking. It destroyed them. A dark flood consumed them all. Or did it? They’re might still be survivors. Of course the survivors cross bread with the regular humans.
It is also interesting, that Plato (427-347 BC) wrote about human leaders becoming arrogant and acting like they are gods, after the Biblical event in the book of Daniel with the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar (605 - 562 BC), where God first warns him not to become arrogant, but when the king does, God causes him to be punished by becoming like a beast and living living the wild animals for a time, until he was humbled and recognizes God.
Richat Structure. Due to time, water rising/flood, and volcano caused it to disappear. Also you are sadly incorrect, Atlantis came from Herodotus, Father of History, who wrote it down and then Plato wrote about it. Country where Richat structure is at had an ancient King named Atlas, Atlantis literally means City of Atlas. There is so much more.
My opinion on the line "Atlantis sunk and disappeared within a day" means that the war between the people can cause so much destruction that it ends up destroying all in such a quick time. Rather than literally destroying "atlantis" it self it means society. The Atlantis meaning in Greek is "Land of Atlas" and Atlas meaning in Greek is the titan, in other words all of humanity (titans are big humans) holding the heaven aka, our world. As much as this story is amazing, I think it was a story to teach a lesson for society and everyone and as a whole we are a titan
Plato never said it was an allegory. He said that his relative, who lived in 600 BC visited Egypt and they told him that the catastrophe happened 9,000 years ago. So that's 9,600 BC or 11,600 years ago.
It was “I heard it from a man in Egypt” most likely because he wanted to make it sound more credible. It’s like when someone is telling a horror story and they say that they heard it from a guy in an antique shop, or an old woman in a park or something similar.
Nope. Solon went to Egypt and the priests there told him about Atlantis. Solon was Plato's ancestor from his mothers side. And that's how he was supposed to have heard of the story. But apart from that, Plutarch also mentions Atlantis quite a bit. As Atlantis was also know as Ogygia, it is even mentioned by Homer.

Alright, this is an old video, but hear me out. Near the island of Sardinia, Italy, there are underwater ruins of buildings from thousands of years ago. They were also somewhat advanced for their age. There were also signs of volcanic rock and ash burying the buildings deeper underwater, so I and many others speculate that Atlantis was in Sardinia! Also, to drive my point, the ancient Sardinians were already somewhat advanced early on in human culture.
Sounds very interesting
Pixel _ Beast paved roads and a sewer system almost a thousand years before anyone else in the Mediterranean. Quite an expansive trade network, too.
Same can be said of the Minoans on Crete.
The volcanic theory carries weight because that area of the world is RAMPANT with volcanic activity.

Go watch Bright Insight, who says that Atlantis is the Eye of Africa, I know it's incredible, Atlantis isn't even under the water! But he has a lot of good, very *GOOD* proofs for that.
There isbone problem with you theory.... blonde hair and blue eyes plato wrote so himself. Next they had a professional army who fought resitence but left the farmers alone.... now how does this translate to africa? Slavery was great in africa from the times off the egyptians. And pherhaos even before that.... its called the sunken city. If you are right the sea levels used to be higher... which is a load of crap seeing how climate morons scream we will die if it rises more.. pretty sure the sea dint drop down levels atlantis sunk it wasnt laid dry......

CageReview the island of Minoa isn’t an island bro , Minoan is the name of a civilisation named after one of their kings Minos .
You know, I actually think the idea of very advanced ancient civilizations being connected in some way to each other while being simultaneously wiped out within a short time period is both awesome and also terrifying. I wonder what will end this current cycle? .o.
I was really looking forward to watching this video, then suddenly my mind was shut off and all I could hear was muurrr muurrr muurrr muurrr. Because something deep inside of my soul truly believes that Atlantis really did and still does exist, within our DNA. I love every theory and story that people come up with Atlantis because over all, there's still that belief system whether someone believes it or not, you still talk about it whether it matters or not, whether it be an opinion or not. It's still in your existence. Does give me hope that one day we will all be in unity with Divine source.
Love and light upon us all,
Namaste.

Although it would be so awesome that Atlantis would be real, it is clear based on the lack of scientific evidence that backs up your argument. We need to make sure we look at the reality of the facts presented to us rather than pseudoarcheology. They are great theories though I agree with that!
maybe you had a past life in atlantis, people who believe in this say that they're weirdly drawn to the sea and love sea life.

Actually that’s totally incorrect Plato learned of Atlantis from Solon, it was passed through the generations of his family....
Jordy 54 that’s at least that’s the story he wrote yes. And according to him, Solon learned of it through the Egyptians. Not siding with or against you, but it is possible he could’ve made it up, seeing as they stated much of what he and other philosophers write is purely allegorical. It is also possible it was written in some ancient Egyptian texts that have been lost somewhere to time.
@@christianmeyers7149 Plato specifically mentioned that the story of Atlantis was true and that he didnt make it up.
Justin Little he also wrote that within every man there lies a lion and a hundred headed beast and supported aristocracy. Look I’m not saying I don’t believe there were ancient civilizations. I actually do believe humans were far more advanced than we give them credit for before the younger dryas extinction event. And I said it could be real or fake. It could be an allegory, or it could be real. I’m just saying we don’t know and you can’t take the writing of one man as proof of the existence of any specific situations. However I think there is other evidence that shows the existence of these civilizations.
@@christianmeyers7149 exactly, there is more than one source. I'm not just believing what see, I'm a man of proof and from what I've seen, Atlantis was very much a real place.
Justin Little I’m pretty sure we agree I was just more defending the channel as it had taught me many things.
I had once a strange dream that I was sailing to an island with a vibrant structures, as I ashore to the island I entered into a cave seeing statues like gods and tombs, and I was praying on one of the tomb. Seeing the island you pictured made me remember my dream. It was amazing tho, and I believe it has something to tell..
Look up brightinsight atlantis, Im pretty sure its been found now!
Clearly because of Aquaman
I learned in school that Plato had a source for his stories. He talked to a man in Egypt who's name I now have forgotten, but it was some kind of priest who told him about Atlantis. It was said to have happened 10 000 years before that which had to be around the time of the flood. It's true there must be something behind that flood. There's proof of it when you look at the sphinx, which has traces of erosion.
Learning something from school means completely nothing on topics like this. If half the people in the world believed in Atlantis being a real place at one point then that means there is a 50% shot you were told about it from someone that wants you to think the same thing. Plato was able to leave traces of his writing for us to read about it today. But the rest of the population back then had no idea about Atlantis because you would think that the knowledge of a place that large would have more stories about it through time.
@@robertw.9566 shut up
Solon was the mans name
You mean the sphinx underwent the supposed flood that drowned the island and the world? The sphinx existed 7000 years after the destruction of Atlantis. Meaning sphinx should've been as old as the island.
Just because the Sphinx has traces of erosion does not mean it was caused by the Great Flood, there are thousands of other ways the Sphinx could have been eroded, from human interaction, to weather, to literally the passage of time causes things to erode. Also just because Plato had a singular source, that doesn't automatically make his point valid.

Yes very funny,
I remember reading Plato's Republic. Some heavy political and moral philosophy presented with logic and reason that can be debated in a practical manner. And then he randomly drops the idea of Atlantis.
There is a similar story about Dwarka City of Krishna, which sung under the city. Should definitely look into it. Mind blowing story.
I might be wrong but I thought the eye of sahara is or was atlantis
Pasted from an earlier reply to someone another similar comment; "[The Richat Structure] is/was definitely not Atlantis as the rings can only be seen from the air and what Plato was describing was more similar to Dante's visions than a massive geologic structure so big that its shape is obscured by the curvature of the Earth's surface. The area has also been studies quite a bit and while there is evidence of ancient people's there is no proof of Atlantis or any else that confirms Plato's writings except the shape, but again; it can only be seen from the air."
Yes, because we know for a fact ancient people were incapable of determining the shape of big round things without watching them, such as the Earth... Uhmm wait!
They say that Atlantis was surrounded bye two rings and those two rings can be seen in Africa
And during the Ice Age the Sahara was lish and green. The Richat Structure has a great probability to be the site of the city.
Yes, and it's called the Richat Structure, Mauritania
At least you people are more on point than this entire video lol.
When they describe Atlantis it says its west of the strait of Gibraltar
I always like before it starts cuz I know it’s good content❤️
Guys if you want to see where Atlantis really is then look up the Eye of the Sahara or the Richard structure, it's barely talked about and geologists are confused about its origin as its far too unusual to be natural. It's strikingly similar to how Plato described Atlantis, the circular islands with the nearby mountains and the whole area looks like it was hit by a tsunami. Not to mention a few of human artifacts have been discovered there but it's never been excavated. Whether it's truly Atlantis is up for speculation but if you don't believe me then look it up.
I still feel as though there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding this claim. However, the similarities are interesting.
The Minoans did have running water, which would've been considered advance so
Well we just explored 70% of earth so it could be possible
You're joking right?...
Not 70% I think it would be around 20 or 25%
70% of land sound accurate. But we have only explored 5% of the oceans.
Bro, 95% of the ocean hadn’t been explored yet
maybe he meant 70% on land. because 95% is in underwater.
5:38 The great flood.. Ice age happends and then the flood bro its simple history. anywho
By that they meant the biblical story of the arc
Who knows what and where it really was. Very educative material, good to watch things like that one. Enjoy
The eruption of the Thera volcano was very likely the strong inspiration for Plato's Atlantis story. After all, we have the geologic evidence that the northern coast of Crete was swamped by a massive tsunami around the same the time Thera erupted--a tsunami powerful enough to wipe out the Minoan culture on the northern coast of that island.
Atlantis was in Mauritania, the Richat structure

What about Dwarka. That story matches what IGS said Plato says about Atlantis. It was once a great city that was flooded by the gods because the people became corrupt and greedy.
@@PVempati the problem is Atlantis was in the Atlantic. But many several civilisations are said to have emerged around 12.000 years ago but were destroyed by a cataclismic event, most probably because of a comet that melted most of the ice and caused a flood. Look up Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson. They really make great points on this
This video is a classic example of Occam’s Razor. It says that Atlantis was a city that the Greek philosopher Plato told stories about, stating it was a “perfect” civilization where the people were “god-like” but also human. Then, these people started to get corrupt and greedy, trying to expand into other places and losing their way. For that, the gods sent them earthquakes, floods, and other disasters and wiped out the civilization. Then he said in a single night, Atlantis sank into the sea. Many people to this day still debate whether this story was true. Many debate the location of Atlantis. Some think it was in the Mediterranean, others say the Caribbean, and some even think it was near Antarctica. People have been searching for this lost civilization, but no specific evidence has been found. Even after all this time of people searching and searching and no evidence has been found, some still believe that The Lost City of Atlantis is out there. This is a classic example of Occam’s Razor, where the simplest answer is the most likely one. Atlantis was most likely an allegory made by Plato on the hubris of nations, as there has been no evidence other than the story that Plato told of this civilization ever existing. Plato most likely told this story to teach people a lesson, as he never told anyone a location or gave any objective evidence of Atlantis's existence.
I would love to see a video over the theory for Atlantis as the Eye of The Sahara, even if to debunk it. I've seen a few videos over it, but from less than reputable sources, and think it would be a great video idea!
Thanos built it
It has to exist
@Amythista so he sacrificed it.

The eye of the Sahara is the most likely location I’ve heard of, but at the very least it’s an area worth looking at regardless of whether you’re searching for a specific lost city, it’s so perfectly symmetrical which implies it could be remnants of something man made. Hopefully there’s a rich person out there that’ll one day fund something like that, it’s a shame money is such a barrier when trying to learn about the past.
Hi there, the Eye is not perfectly symmetrical at ground level. Only from space does it look smooth and symmetrical. It is in fact a large geological rock formation (not man made) with no evidence of human cities within (only visits by local Hunter gatherer tribes). There’s no evidence Plato would have even known it existed. He likely made up Atlantis, or was thinking of Greek or other eastern Mediterranean cities that had been destroyed in the past or his own lifetime.
@@akimus34 He didnt made up atlantis, one of his relatives went to egypt about 300 years before plato and some egyptian priests told the guy about atlantis
The Richat Structure, also called Guelb er Richât, the "Eye of Africa", or "Eye of the Sahara"
I’ve discussed myths before. Atlantis is always thrown into the ring at one point or another. Perhaps Plato not only meant Atlantis to be an allegory for “pride before the fall”, but for an Utopia humanity will never reach (and/or keep). Humans will always ruin something, that’s a proven fact (forgive my generalizations) that history has demonstrated several times over. Rome, Greece, Egypt- once great cultures that were devastated by humanity (with nature helping). This isn’t me saying that Atlantis as a lost city doesn’t exist, because this godforsaken Earth of ours keeps spitting out the impossible it seems.
This video needs to be redone, and a video about the Richat structure in Mauritania, as well as the account of Plato describing the city.
wait there is the bermuda triangle where ''no one'' survives and plato says atlantis is in a spot where no one can reach it hmmm
I think I outsmarted the gods

Numenor, in Tolkien's Silmarillion, was based on Atlantis. He was unaware of it at the time until he was told about it. The story of Numemonor's destruction is similar to that of Atlantis. If it existed, Atlantis was probably Minoan Crete.
This needs to be updated we got two good people today that has good info on this.
i love how this video never said atlantis could have been in the atlanic ocean
Amazing video my dude keep it up :D and yeah thanks for the infographic information :D
Thanks! ♥️

That's weird, many historians and archaeologists agree there was a catastrophic flood that was the inspiration for the biblical story and a few other similar stories in other religions.
Only this flood was certainly not all over our known modern world, but the known world at the time of ancient Mesopotamia.
So the great flood occurred somewhere in the Middle East.
Mesopotamia (now in modern Iraq) was known for its irregularly flooding rivers.
Also, the Persian Gulf has been proven to be formerly dry land that was swallowed up by the waters many thousands of years ago.
This video was pretty bad, considering you were discussing evidence and actually gave us no evidence despite there being plenty out there and then in the end called it a fantasy without delving into any form of evidence...
Your telling me the tripping scientist's aren't evidence!

Accurate video. Also thanks for the shoutout to Crete 😂
You'll find it in Assassin's Creed Odyssey
No words about the location in Mauritania that fits the maps and writings of Herodotus?
But seriously folks...the most probable explanation is that Plato was referring (perhaps to some extent metaphorically) to the Thera (Santorini) eruption, which in fact did reign significant destruction on Mediterranean civilization. Of course, that happened much more recently than the time cited by Plato. But since he may have received the story from Egyptian historians, the possibility exists that he misinterpreted the date by a factor of ten, thus positing Atlantean civilization as having existed thousands of years earlier. That's my best guess.
I believe Atlantis exists because in Indian mythology there is a similar kingdom called Dwaraka which ended due to a curse. However, surrounding areas have provided evidence of Dwaraka with a documentary even made showing some of the artifacts from the time. It's insane to hear how close to description the two empires are, beautiful, advanced, moral, joyful, etc.
There was a similar city in Hinduism texts called Dwarka which was shunk into the ocean.
I think I'll chime in and ask why you didn't speak of the Eye of the Sahara. Everything matches up there, and it's the best theory I've seen so far.

If you consider the story comes from Egypt that used a lunar based calendar, maybe the 9,600 years prior to Plato’s retelling is in fact 9,600 *_MONTHS_* prior to the date the story was retold. By that count, you are looking at 800 years prior to Plato’s retelling of the fall of Atlantis. Which lines up nicely with the fall of the Minoan civilization more, or less. Who coincidentally worshipped the bull, were an advanced seafaring people, and were destroyed by a catastrophic volcanic eruption & tsunami. No one even knows the Minoans true name. They are only named as such, due to their bull worship. Just a thought.
It did exist. Everything was beautiful, pretty, amazing. Clean af. You could stair at the buildings for hours. Another level of elegance. Love filled the streets, honor was a constant, new ideas were welcomed embraced and used to the good of all the people. Until like the guy said, they started delving into another dimension. They grew tired of the peace, the calm, and wanted something new. The problem was their way of being gave them powers. They were super humans. So when they tried different emotions, it impacted them very badly. Even more so cause they’re higher way of thinking. It destroyed them. A dark flood consumed them all. Or did it? They’re might still be survivors. Of course the survivors cross bread with the regular humans.
"I could have pissed on it.." you know this part if you watch Aquaman
It is also interesting, that Plato (427-347 BC) wrote about human leaders becoming arrogant and acting like they are gods, after the Biblical event in the book of Daniel with the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar (605 - 562 BC), where God first warns him not to become arrogant, but when the king does, God causes him to be punished by becoming like a beast and living living the wild animals for a time, until he was humbled and recognizes God.
Richat Structure.
Due to time, water rising/flood, and volcano caused it to disappear. Also you are sadly incorrect, Atlantis came from Herodotus, Father of History, who wrote it down and then Plato wrote about it.
Country where Richat structure is at had an ancient King named Atlas, Atlantis literally means City of Atlas.
There is so much more.
Wow nice information dude
My opinion on the line "Atlantis sunk and disappeared within a day" means that the war between the people can cause so much destruction that it ends up destroying all in such a quick time. Rather than literally destroying "atlantis" it self it means society. The Atlantis meaning in Greek is "Land of Atlas" and Atlas meaning in Greek is the titan, in other words all of humanity (titans are big humans) holding the heaven aka, our world. As much as this story is amazing, I think it was a story to teach a lesson for society and everyone and as a whole we are a titan
we are all jaegerists

It’s definitely real. I saw it in 2001 when Atlantis: The Lost Empire came out in theaters. Checkmate non believers!
Plato never said it was an allegory. He said that his relative, who lived in 600 BC visited Egypt and they told him that the catastrophe happened 9,000 years ago. So that's 9,600 BC or 11,600 years ago.

It wasn't Plato's story he got it from an Egyptian priest while he was in Egypt
It was “I heard it from a man in Egypt” most likely because he wanted to make it sound more credible. It’s like when someone is telling a horror story and they say that they heard it from a guy in an antique shop, or an old woman in a park or something similar.
@B. Momo what has that to do whit anything?
@B. Momo Egyptians were and are black and brown what are u taking about
Nope. Solon went to Egypt and the priests there told him about Atlantis. Solon was Plato's ancestor from his mothers side. And that's how he was supposed to have heard of the story.
But apart from that, Plutarch also mentions Atlantis quite a bit. As Atlantis was also know as Ogygia, it is even mentioned by Homer.
