Plato's Account of Atlantis (Complete Audiobook)

[@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.

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@sadwingsraging3044]

Excellent content just how I like it.😎👍🏴‍☠

[@davedgs4144]

Good to see this channel 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.

[@dcc2351]

9000 years is most likely a mis interpretation of the Egyptian numbers translated to Greek. Athens didn't exist 9000 years ago. Neither did Egypt. It baffles me how so many people mis that obvious point. Plato shared the document his Ancestor wrote 200 years before him. That would make it written in around 600bc plus a few years. 900 years before that time would make it 1500bc plus some years. That would be around the time that the eruption on Thera/Santorini took place. Sinking most of the Island. This event shattered the Minoan empire. All the pieces fit except the dates. Which can not be correct. But if you subtract one zero they do. So that is the most rational conclusion.

Reinvigorated

[@LuigiUsai]

The Sardinian-Corsican Atlantean Paradigm (PSCA) represents a disruptive revolution in the scientific landscape, subverting the consolidated paradigms on ancient history and its origins. This theory, developed by Luigi Usai and presented in several academic platforms, strongly affirms that Atlantis not only existed, but its geographical position coincides with the Sardinian-Corsican geological block, a remnant of the legendary continent in the ancient Atlantic Ocean. This paradigm is supported by a series of archaeological, linguistic and historical evidence that emerge with increasing force thanks to Usai's work. The disruptive impact of the PSCA lies in several fundamental issues: Subversion of dominant linguistic theories: Usai proposes that many Indo-European languages ​​have common roots in the Sardinian-Corsican block, undermining the traditional theory of the Indo-European origin and revealing the Atlantean connections of these languages. In this context, Usai also redefines the concept of post-Atlantis cultural and linguistic migration ( Atlantis Discovery ). Revisiting Nuragic Structures and Religious Practices: Usai's studies directly connect Nuragic structures, such as the stone towers of Sardinia, with Plato's descriptions of Atlantis. These monuments are interpreted as tangible remains of a technologically advanced civilization that influenced surrounding cultures and subsequent religious developments, including Christianity and Jewish tradition ( Atlantis Discovery ). Biblical and Literary Implications: Usai also proposes that some biblical texts, such as the tale of the Golden Calf and other Jewish traditions, are in fact Atlantean derivations. This reconnects the story of Atlantis not only to classical mythology, but also to the sacred texts of monotheistic traditions, making the paradigm extremely complex and interdisciplinary. In summary, the PSCA offers a comprehensive rereading of the history of humanity and its origins. This revolutionary approach, presented in works such as "Official Discovery of Atlantis" and others available on Harvard Dataverse and Zenodo, is catalyzing an epistemological transformation that, as Usai himself underlines, aims to restructure our understanding of the past and of the connection between ancient and modern civilizations.

[@penoge]

This was only the text of the Kritias and beneath the false translation in the case of the floods it is hard to realise by a spoken text that this dialog is composed of two totally different parts: 1. The already composed text about Ur-Athens which was obviously the unfinished text of Solon which he wrote when he was back in Greece but could not finish because of his death. This is confirmed by the error in it: in the Timaios Kritias said that there was only one spring with no name in Ur-Athens of which the springs of his time were only remnants. But in the Kritias he calls the Eridanus which was one of the springs of his time the border of Ur-Athens. But meant was the river Etidanus between Europe and Hyperborea which was the border of the land ruled by Athene and Hephaistos. This mistake was caused by unaccurate keywords which Solon wrote down in Egypt. 2. The second part of the Kritias is a simple listing of points, containing the information which Kritias asked from his Grandfather. It shows what part of the story Kritias was interested in as a child, but it also contains one error: one of the points is inserted at the wrong position! This can be explained by the way this dialog was composed by Kritias which is told in the Timaios. Kritias realized all night long what his Grandfather has told him. Obviously this point came to his mind too late when he already was tired and thus he inserted it at the wrong location. Every single of these facts prove that the dialogs Timaios and Kritias (and the absend but in the Laws of Platon used Hermokrates) were real talks. It is a shame that the philologers (which were paid to do this) not even recognised this and instead tell the nonsense of the invention of the dialogs by Platon.

[@TotalWar305]

Yes! Plato speaks, via Swindon

[@sourcetext]

An original translation and not an interpretation ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@fedyno4reviews]

Good job Sargon

[@chrisnewbury3793]

M.P. Courville and Jason Breshear's books prove to my satisfaction that Plato's years were lunar not solar. Even some of his Greek contemporaries knew it at the time. That puts Atlantis around the Bronze Age Collapse, in Northwest Africa. And I'm not talking about the Richat, though I'm still open to it as a possible location. I'm not fully convinced. There's simply no way it was 10,000 BC as there were no Greeks to have a war with at the time. The Berbers or Amazighs as they call themselves are likely their descendants. They were Phoenicians. The Amazigh flag is a glyph of Poseidon's.

[@penoge]

Stupid interpretation! Even the fragments of Berossos in connection with the Sumerian kinglist confirm the date! And learn to read! Even the text says that the later Greeks were only the remnants of one of the tribes which inhabited Greece. This is in accordance with the statement that the population of Ur-Athens because of an earthquake sank into the earth in a single day and night. The original inhabitants of Greece were Pelasgians.

Carl being awesome boii once more w00t

[@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.

[@penoge]

Stupid interpretation! Just learn to read!

[@Homesickfobbit]

Sweet

[@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.

[@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.

[@thomasbeaumont3668]

long ago in a land far away there existed a great civilisation not unlike Rome. yet a great cataclysm happened and all its citizens died. the only people left to carry it's tradition and legacy, were outsiders unaffected.

[@penoge]

The "outsiders" were not unaffected! According to the texts Egypt was occupied by Atlantis in the course of the war which occured about 9500 BC and was freed when Ur-Athens had defeated Atlantis. But then about 8500 BC according to the text Egypt had to be founded again. That means that Egypt was also affected by the flood which sank Atlantis and that this flood happened between 9500 and 8500 BC which means: about 9000 BC. And this date is confirmed by the fragments of Berossos (33.500 BC date of the first flood) and the Sumerian Kinglist (24.510 years, 3 months and 1/2 day duration of the dynasties after that flood!).
