I take it your Atlantis denial is over. About time.

[@ancienttimes3773]

keep it up, man, people really like these old audiobooks. The classics were loved for a reason.

[@SwagMcFresh]

I can’t believe it. This was my favourite side project of Carl’s - heck, my favourite KZbin channel, period. I never thought I’d see it active again.

[@madlad_dad]

I was wondering why the narrator sounded like him. I just stumbled upon this channel.

If you set up a Patrion just for Ancient Recitations, I’d throw money at it. My absolute favourite kind of content.

[@Dave-ks9fi]

This is brilliant, in so many interpretations of the myth it's assumed they had advanced technology by our standards and not just what was impressive in the Bronze age like hot running water.

[@RippDrive]

Religion is a technology, and they were unquestionably more advanced than we are now.

[@Dave-ks9fi]

@@RippDrive if Poseidon actually manifested and built the place perhaps. However the description of the technology isn't some advanced alien computer systems and limitless energy as is so often expected. It's canals and plumbing, with good urban planning.

[@svinkuk2652]

Those assumptions mainly come from a couple of psychics, one of which is seen as the most "believeable" psychics to have ever lived, since a lot of his predictions did come true, and he never accepted payment for his readings. The other one described atlantian technology as technology we know today, for example the internet, video calls across the globe, hand held phones, text to speech, and flying machines which ran on electricity which was transmitted through the air. he had no real education to speak of and claimed an angel was telling him about it. He described all of this in the 1800's. So thats who it comes from, and why some believed it to be true.

[@BlazRa]

I'm planning to design my house after Atlantis it's not going to be the same size obviously but it's going to have three channels where is Garden set up in between and some bridges and there's going to be a roundhouse with a tower that comes out the middle and there's going to be a very large Crystal on top of the tower the Crystal Tower. I'm basically going to grow a bunch of trees along the banks to hold them and then other things will be grown in different areas where it's appropriate

He’s back!

[@belstar1128]

Interesting how he said it existed 9000 years ago .did he know about the ice age and the flooding that happened after that .because he wrote this over 2000 years ago .so that would be 11.000 years ago around the time the ice age ended.

WAIT A MINUTE. Sargon's back to uploading here?!

[@Drew_McTygue]

$10 says Atlantis was the Minoan civilization and the disaster mentioned in Plato's account is the major volcanic eruption that occurrsd on Therea (modern day Santorini) deatroying minoan settlements on that island

[@MrDUneven]

It's in Eye of Sahara

[@Drew_McTygue]

​@MrDUneven definitely not. Solon got the account from Egypt, the egyptian old kingdom was contemporary with the minoans, they had contact and traded, the minoans had a bull cult as described in Plato's account, Santorini is an archipelago which had a central island with access to the sea before the eruption, the site of Akrotiri (buried under tons of ash) has frescos depicting this island showing a citadel on a central island with canals. The island at the center, and its city was destroyed in the eruption, along with the City, thus appearing to be swallowed by the sea. Only akrotiri survives. No evidence of human occupation exists at the eye ofSolon, or anywhere nearby. The minoans actually existed, but disappeared in part due to this cataclysmic eruption in the Mediterranean

[@oleyullah]

@@Drew_McTygue doesn't Plato's account say about an island or group of islands one gets to sailing West through the Pillars of Heracles which is the Gibraltar Strait?

[@mnomadvfx]

@@Drew_McTygue "Solon got the account from Egypt" This assumes the account within the dialogue is a factual account and not a framework of a story designed to convery a philsophical message to Athenians - something Plato is commonly known to have done before Critias and Timaeus. "The minoans actually existed, but disappeared in part due to this cataclysmic eruption in the Mediterranean" No. The Minoans did indeed exist - but they did not simply disappear after the Theran eruption. Whole communities on Crete were insulated from the post eruption tsunami on the south coast due to higher elevation and not facing towards Thera (Santorini's older Hellenic Greek name). After the eruption the island was likely easily conquered by Mycenae due to the impact to their various crops and trade weakenign all aspects of the civilisation. The remnants of the Minoan civilisation were effectively ruled over by Mycenae during that period. In all likelihood the Minoans integrated and assimilated into Mycenae and later Hellenic Greek society, just as the formerly warring Etruscans did into the Roman republic and empire.

[@fedyno4reviews]

Good job Sargon

[@mnomadvfx]

INCORRECT. THe account within the dialogue is that of Critias. The clue is in the name of the dialogue 😑 At no point of the dialogue is Plato mentioned, nor does any part of it appear to be written from his POV. The order of transmission of the story as written within the dialogue is: Egyptian ancestors -> Temple builders of Sais -> Sonchis of Sais -> Solon -> Critias's grandfather -> Critias.

[@EuroWarsOrg]

I recognise that voice! There was no uniform calendar back then, so what does "9,000 years" mean?

[@therealquade]

So, what do you think of Bright Insight's videos on atlantis being the eye of the sahara?

[@mariussielcken]

That would imply an ahistorical higher sea going lower, whereas Atlantis clearly was on the Atlantic plain, which was swallowed by the sea due to the end of the ice age.

[@therealquade]

@@mariussielcken thats covered, the elevation changes over time, plate techtonics and magma bubbles and all that.

[@mnomadvfx]

@@therealquade "thats covered, the elevation changes over time, plate techtonics and magma bubbles and all that" You literally just hand waved non existent tectonic models. We know how plate tectonics work. It doesn't work like that.

[@therealquade]

@@mnomadvfx might wanna so much as check wikipedia before you try to play an uno-reverse. Look up "Dome (geology)" on wikipedia, and the richat structure is quite literally the ur example, The richat is a dome, that has since collapsed. Furthermore, the sand in the sahara is from the ocean floor, from a massive wave that carried it up. That's a fact, the only debate is on *when* it happened, and not that it had happened at all.

[@scottbreseke716]

I've enjoyed many of Bright Insight's videos in the past, but he's completely wrong about Atlantis. Atlantis was off of the Iberian Peninsula in the north Atlantic ocean.

[@TwoStageTrigger]

They just found a complete scroll in Egypt. It's the book of the dead. Could be interesting.

[@mnomadvfx]

The dyhastic Egyptian funerary rites evolved over time. The "book of the dead", or more accurately the "book of going forth by day" is the later, more stable version of them known most to the layman. The earliest version of their funerary rites we know of are the 'Pyramid Texts' first seen in the burial chamber of the Pyramid of Unas (last pharaoh of the 5th dynasty) - footage of it can be found in various videos on KZbin.

[@RobinJDollarSign]

Guys we are atlantis, and we are actually living beneath an ocean , the dome is soo large, and we think that the sky is blue , actually its the ocean, we are buried deep down in a dome , like a fish bowl, these books are actually coming from the outside, they venture here, and atlantis is earth!

[@dashofsalt4359]

The Minoans, that's all I can think about, long lasting, colourful and won wars against the mycenaeans

[@mnomadvfx]

I don't know about wars. The simple fact is that the Minoans were the dominant force of the Aegean in their time - superior on the water in every way. After the Theran eruption their entire society was badly impacted to the point that the Mycenaeans didn't need superior skills to conquer Crete. When the dust settled Mycenaean sailors in the Aegean would have found starving or broken Minoan communities disconnected, and very much in culture shock, probably believing that their gods had abandoned, or worse turned against them.
