This video offers, perhaps for the first time ever, an explanation for the Minoan hypothesis which is in perfect harmony with Plato’s description of where Atlantis was located.

@calebhowells1116 Fascinating and thank you for uploading the video! Nice tease for the next video too. 😜 The second half of this felt like one long Eureka! moment, especially the notes on the word "pontos" and the perspective shift on the speaker (Egyptian account) and how they would perceive the geography in question. Thank you for doing the research and comparing the accounts, then funneling the data down to a video series that makes it summarized for the rest of us. My pipe dream is that they finally find a way to translate the Minoan dialect to the extent that they can read the written texts, wherein they refer to themselves or reference the word Atlantis, Atlanteans, etc. since we still don't know what the Minoans called themselves.

I have read in the analysis of the greek of Plato atlantic derives from Atlas , which as I recall would be towards Asia Minor - I definitely agree that it was not Atlantic ocean but questions santorini - which I like for other reasons - but I can entertain the asia minor area. Greek History makes a big demarcation for before Cretan domination and after - if you are looking for a definite argument here - it doesn't exist.

Interesting. Have you looked into the theories about the Richat Structure being Atlantis?

@@MarcWiddowson I don’t find that convincing. In my opinion, it’s a case of extreme cherry picking and misleading statements about the supposed evidence.

@calebhowells1116 I appreciate your attempt to locate Atlantis inside the Pillars of Heracles but are you not just twisting the words to mean what you want them to mean? Try and dislodge Randall Carson's description of the location of Atlantis.

@@kevincasey5035 I believe that my explanation is the one which is most in harmony with a logical reading of Plato’s words. Like I mentioned in the video, it’s Plato’s own statement that suggests that Atlantis was inside the Pillars of Heracles while Athens was outside. There is another detail in Plato’s account which, in my opinion, categorically proves that Atlantis must have been inside the Mediterranean. I’m not very familiar with Randall Carson’s theory. Does he place Atlantis in the region of the Azores?
