The Story of Atlantis, Part II: Searching for Atlantis

Was Atlantis annihilated by asteroid, burned by barbarians, or liquefied by lasers? Are the ruins awash in Antarctic ice, slumbering beneath Spanish sands, or bleaching on the beaches of Bimini? This video, the second of three exploring the myth and mystique of Atlantis, investigates the origins of the modern notion that Atlantis was real.

I find it remarkable how many similarities there are between stories about Atlantis and planet Krypton. It makes me wonder whether Plato got the ideas for his fable from discussions with Superman.

[@owensanfordstuff]

Well, superman is literally the story of Achilles

[@mothballmouth]

@@owensanfordstuff so what you're saying is, Achilles is an allegory for superman????? :0

@@mothballmouth an adaptation or inspiration etc but yes, basically yes. Human tell the same few stories over and over

[@owensanfordstuff]

@happi Achilles was the strongest warrior that was probably based on a real person, only exaggerated for story - the idea of the Ubermensch then adapted into a comicbook form for the masses. In the story, he was an immortal and invincible being from the moment he drank a liquid, except for his ankles. Superman was an invincible being for years until the writers made him more relatable, by giving him the weakness of Kryptonite.

[@owensanfordstuff]

Please@happi Achilles wasn't a reporter either. The point is not everything has to match up, but he was the super man back then.

So was Edgar Cayce's Version of a crystal powered Atlantis the inspiration for the animated Disney movie Atlantis?

[@Merlinthehappypig]

I don't understand why more people don't mention Crete as a possible Atlantis. The ancient peoples were highly intelligent beyond their time, in an island between Europe and Africa. A highly developed civilisation that was destroyed by natural disasters and abandoned. In fact when people returned to inhabit it, they believed it was giants who built the ancient ruins adding to the mystery of the ancient lost civilization. Seems obvious to me

[@bjornwiklander5738]

Several mistaken facts. Firstly, Crete wasn't abandoned by its inhabitants after the Thera eruption. The Mycenaeans (greek forebears) conquered Crete shortly afterward but there was plenty of continuity even seen in modern genetic studies. For example adopting their script (known as Linear A) to write their proto-Greek language (Linear B), and much more. Secondly, the builders of the walls later deemed to have been built by giants were the Mycenaeans, for example the walls of Mycenaea itself. And again, the Mycenaeans were to ancestors of the later greeks, but who of course mixed with the earlier inhabitants. Also, the Bronze Age Collapse and fall of the Mycenaean civilization and subsequent dark age in greece was in about 1200 BCE. The Thera eruption was around 1600 BCE and Mycenaean golden age from 1400 BCE onwards. It is fascinating though and interesting theories around the island of Thera, seen in the following video. I hope my comment don't come off as hostile, just wanted to clear up any confusion and prevent future readers get the wrong idea.

My theory is that while an actual city with the name "Atlantis" probably did not exist. But we know for a fact that massive stretches of human habited land have disappeared under water since the Neolithic period. Doggerland alone could account for many of the mythological origins of Atlantis. there certainly could have been a civilization or two swallowed up by the classical "deluge."

[@thebrocialist8300]

Doggerland? Lmao Nothing that took place in the British Isles during that period of ancient history comes even close to resembling the advanced civilizational -or supernatural character of the Atlanteans described by Plato. All that could be found in Neolithic Britain was a primitive ‘megalithic culture’ (similar to those found throughout the Atlantic coast of Europe) that a mixed population of early Eurasian agriculturalists and Western Hunter-Gather throwbacks crudely developed prior to the arrival of the proto-Indo Europeans. An Athenian would not gaze upon some piles of stones in Doggerland (no matter how fine the masonry involved was) and walk away with a sense of awe.

[@scottabc72]

@@thebrocialist8300 Doggerland was underwater 1000's of years before Athens was founded but the idea of lost cultures could have been the source of the myths like Atlantis (which I think original poster is aware of).

@Just think notice the name of the richat structure is a 'structure' only in the geologic sense of the word, that being, rocks deformed by geologic processes over time. In this case, its a textbook example of a dome fold structure cause by intrusion of magma as a laccolithic (lens-shaped) body beneath. We only see its intriguing outcrop pattern of rocks today because of cosmic coincidence, that we exist at a time where erosion has exposed the structure beatifully. If we had existed 10 million years ago, say, we'd never have seen it, some millions of years in the future, it'll likely be entirely gone only exposing the igneous rocks beneath.

Is it not true that various old/relatively isolated populations (e.g. the Guanches of Tenerife and the Aquitani/proto-Basques of Southwestern Europe) have/had preserved oral histories that trace their respective ethnocultural genealogies back to a similar ancient [Atlantean] civilization (the accounts sharing common motifs involving a deluge, etc) - OR are these just cases of certain parties (e.g. contemporary chroniclers, modern scholars,obscurantists) misinterpreting and/or misrepresenting the facts?

[@mojavefry2617]

The problem with oral histories is that there is the “chicken or the egg” problem. Oral histories, just like written histories, are subject to outside influence, so many aspects of oral histories may contain elements that were added in by a later reciter of the history.

[@stijnvdv2]

I wouldn't say as sturdy as him that 'Atlantis is just a myth'. What he plays at is the current academic world that has a mainstream narrative of history; that it was a straight line from Ur to our own world. More and more times the archeologists have been proven to be dead wrong! 'Greeks didn't know gears'.... oops, then came the Antikythera mechanism that's more sophisticated then any Swiss watch today! civilization began in Uhr, and then... oops, actually civilization began probably some 8 thousand years earlier, as they found Gobekli Teppe with stonework and stone carving that best anything that comes thousands of years later. Egyptology is a laughable endeavor on it's own. 'The pyramids were build in 20 years' coz some Greek smuck Herodotus said so...... Oh really? We couldn't even do something like that in 200 years, the closest thing we come to is the Cathedrals and they took 150-200 years to build and none are as impressive as the pyramids. And these stupid dumb shit explanations of 'academic' archeologists: when in doubt say copper chisels and pounding stones like you can clearly see the unfinished obelisk having kind of scoop marks but no, pounding stones they say -_- .... they tried to make the nose of the Sphinx that way and it was an absolute catastrophic FAILURE! So I wouldn't count on academics to explain stuff coz they are proven wrong so often that calling it an 'educated guess' what they do is even exaggerating what it really is. On top, there are many practices of ancient Egypt that one can find in the Mayan culture... it's pretty odd that they use the exact same riet canoe to peddle on water, that they both have a hieroglyphic script, and you can go on and on about the similarities. Ever been to the Osirion in Egypt? Tell me that doesn't look like some structure that could easily fit in the Mayan culture... or the massively huge granite boxes of the Serrapeum of Saquara.... 'academic' archeologists don't even want to mention it's existence coz 1. they can't explain it and 2. Any effort in explaining it will throw their precious mainstream narrative in the mud. So I don't put a lot of faith in 'academic' archeologists, that go beyond +/- the Bronze Age where they can translate scripture.

Plato was most emphatic that the story of Atlantis was true history, and not a myth or allegory. He even went to the trouble of explaining that he got the story from his friend Critias, who got it from his grandfather, and traced the story back to Solon the famous Greek politician, who got it from some priests while on a trip to Egypt. In point of time, this would be like someone today coming out with a manuscript handed down in the family from Thomas Jefferson, who got it from some French priests while on a diplomatic mission to Paris. So that part is at least plausible.

I unfortunately think Disney got it more right than anyone else by teasing with Icelandic journals, because Aztlan means "Land of waterbirds" and the only true Waterbird of the Northern hemisphere is the Auks. Because of this, the Rockall Plateau is the best candidate that nobody seems to be interested in besides British and Icelandic cod fishermen. Asgard could have easily been Astlan, Askland, Aukland, Alkelund, Avalon. Gard, Eden, pLant, Lant, land are all variations of the same meaning; - cultivated lush land. Even the Basque language has the "Plant" root word meaning that it is very native to northwestern europe. Also bifrost, the rainbow bridge leading to asgard which only the gods (those with nautical and astronomical knowledge) could travel across is literally a frozen bridge of crystals and mist, placing Rockall Plateau perfectly within that myth as well during the time of atlantis. I think their highest technology would have been; - Oil-lamps from hunting seals and whales, - Decent ships due to being on an island that gradually lost the ice-bridge over the atlantic northern route. - an Advanced Astronomical calendar due to clear northern skies, navigational requirements and the benefit of predicting the seasons and thus the melting of the ice bridge. - Very healthy lifestyle and stature due to having the same diet as Orcas - Probably developed advanced mining and water management systems in order to keep their homeland from drowning (similar to netherlands with several reclamation projects, dams and dykes over a long period of time).

[@charliemountain82]

All you have to do is ignore the timelines we've been given when it comes to a green Sahara. Plato puts Atlantis outside the pillars of Heracles, in what is now Mauritania. Google maps can be used to clearly show that the Richat structure is further west than the Straights of Gibraltar. In a green Sahara, Lake Chad was huge. There were rivers running east to west and multiple large lakes and ponds throughout what is now desert. There was access to the Mediterranean, as well as the Atlantic ocean. Plato describes white and black stones used in Atlantean construction- white and black stones just like what are commonly found near the foot of the aptly named Atlas mountain range, immediately north of the Richat structure in modern Mauritania. He describes a fresh water well in the center of the concentric circles of water and land rings of the city. Exactly like what is found at the Richat structure in modern Mauritania. There is clear evidence of a massive ancient washout from the Atlantic ocean in western Africa, visible from satellite imagery. Richat is Atlantis. The parallels are uncanny. The CIA even studied magnetic anomalies at this location- and still haven't released all of their findings. Worldwide, there are not only flood myths, but also physical evidence found off the coasts of the continents of ancient sunken cities. See the Indus civilization for a good example of this. There are ruins throughout the world (recently in Iraq) which have been underwater for a very long time, only visible now due to receding water levels. Atlantis was not an allegory. Plato would have identified it as such. See his other work, "THE ALLEGORY of the Cave". If he had meant it to be taken as such, he would have been clear about it. He spoke of Atlantis as a real place, well before his time. Ignore the flawed dating systems currently used by "scientists". Scientists whose careers are based on the available information not changing. There is money in the search, not in the find. Use your eyes. That's what Plato did. The Sahara was wet a lot more recently than we have been brought to believe.

[@yopappy6599]

Idk maybe I missed it, but it seems these videos is your own personal conclusion based on the way Plato often structured his writings, you assume he was making it up as an example to help draw comparisons between two civilizations taking different paths and how they’re decisions could affect their future.? That’s possible of course but you sound so definitive about it when we’ve barely scratched the surface of our past and the past of the planet and many things are just completely lost to history. Lots of stuff is under water. Coastlines have changed, islands have sunken and others popped up. I doubt they had crystal powered weapon and such but certain things described are too detailed and more importantly too realistic to be completely false. The structure and layout causeways, aqueducts etc of the Atlantis sounds a lot the Aztec city Tenochtitlan, so it’s a concept that works is what I’m saying. How many cities were laid out like that in Platos time? How you have a city, with no relation, set up almost exactly the same on the other side of the globe almost 2k years later.? I think if nothing else there was a city similar to what he describes. Somebody seen it somewhere. Whether it was an island in lake like Mexico or in the ocean maybe on the coastline. You did say he would talk with anyone who would listen. I’m sure he heard many stories. Even if he heard it as a rumor or a myth and made up 99% of the story, certain aspects of the story make me believe there’s a kernel of truth in it.

Atlantis was 100% real, there was a pyramid found underwater near the azores island, wich is located in the middle of the atlantic ocean, in front of Portugal exactly where plato said it was located, just as the end of the ice age when the level of the oceans increased, matches Plato's dates given for the submersion of atlantis. It was real folks. The myths are all based on humanity's lost history. This is why every religion as flood myths, were the survivors build boats, with domesticated animals wich are needed for agriculture, and then repopulate and re civilize the world, this is why almost every culture as myths about a "fish man" coming from the sea and teaching them everything about civilization from agriculture to language, architecture, etc.. it was THEM. The atlanteans.

the narrator obviously hasn't looked closely at the similarities of the megalithic structures spanning multiple continents. Sad how people just regurgitate what they get spoonfed in school as the truth when the truth is so much more sublime.

[@Aberman1]

The other problem with the argument “every civilization has a form of a story like Atlantis” is that it proves that it’s more of an allegory than an actual place. The entire world couldn’t have known about it plain and simple during this time period, if we are going to say there are similar stories we have to accept it’s an allegory for how corrupt or non favored civilizations can fail

[@papwithanhatchet902]

@@Aberman1 See, now, there are stories that have at one time been considered morality tales or parables that, under scrutiny, are discovered later to be likely histories. Troy, for example. Or the Exodus. I don’t think dismissive attitudes are helpful in the discovery of the past.
