Atlantis, the island, the legend
The great and undying legend of Atlantis, the mythic city on the sea, is as alive today as it was thousands of years ago in the mind of Plato.
Might humanity one day move to colonize the seas and bring this legend back to life?

Atlantis metals and layout an alchemical formula?
The wall on the zones of atlantis are described as this:
"The outermost of the walls was coated with brass, the second with tin, and the third, which was the wall of the citadel, flashed with the red light of orichalcum. In the interior of the citadel was a holy temple, dedicated to Cleito and Poseidon, and surrounded by an enclosure of gold, and there was Poseidon's own temple, which was covered with silver, and the pinnacles with gold. The roof was of ivory, adorned with gold and silver and orichalcum, and the rest of the interior was lined with orichalcum "
This reference to metals and separation of zones is usually overstepped where most of the focus is on the land and water. When looking at some Youtube videos of alchemical symbols and their relation to metals combined with hypothesis to the the great pyramid being a power source im not aware of anyone correlating the metal and water layout to an energy source.
from the seven candle stick lamp stand symbology of ancient scripture one can organize the 7 metals and 7 planets as they corresponded. Gold was seen as the sun and so forth until a solar system layout is shown to correspond to outer rings.
i assume most have heard of the philosopher stone and the goal of alchemy. The Atlantis layout is similar with some distinct differences of ORichalcum (unknown metal), but if the metals were planetary bodies could correspond to mars. Tin does match the Jupiter designation, but brass seems to be an odd aloy to be beyond saturn.
since we are trowing out planetary hypothesis i thought this was interesting. Also Would a large scale, flowing salt water with springs, temperature differences, walls lined with metals connected thru a central channel at a central temple lined with gold sound like a large battery system or energy gathering super structure. if each metal represented a planet, which planet did orichalcum represent, is the lack of any remnant orichalcum mean it was an imported alloy from outside earth.
i dont know anything, but history channel needs this script as an ancient aliens episode.
Perhaps the fact the atlantis layout contains different metals on the rings is that their origins are from an entirely different solar system or planetary moon system, where TIN = their jupiter (gas giant)
I need more info on these topics of atlantis. Please let me know anything that comes to mind.

Richat as the city of Atlantis and its proximity to Gadire : Reloaded 😎
Atlantis started from the Mountains of the north that descend towards the sea (Atlas mountains). The mountains of the north sheltered the plain of Atlantis. The city of Atlantis was surrounded by a plain. The territory of Atlantis was exposed to the sea only frome one side. The territory of Gadeirus was facing the city of Cadix ( Spain).

looking on some old maps
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7b/Portolan_chart_by_Albino_de_Canepa_1489.jpg
- this island was a phantom island, but its origin of the myth seems familiar. Anyone run into any more info on the origin story that seems to go back to 700 AD.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antillia - this appears to be an atlantis like island by another name.
- the green zone shown on north africa appears to connect rivers to the nile from west to east. this appears to be the described area of influence by atlantis. The Snake shape is curious. notice the lakes. any clarification how to interpret this map would help.

"This island Antilia was once found by the Portuguese, but now when it is searched, cannot be found. People found here speak the Hispanic language, and are believed to have fled here in face of a barbarian invasion of Hispania, in the time of King Roderic, the last to govern Hispania in the era of the Goths. There is 1 archbishop here and 6 other bishops, each of whom has his own city; and so it is called the island of seven cities."

The voyage of Hanno in the Richat region and the Richat structure
Hanno the carthaginian navigator explored the coast of Northwest Africa and West Africa. He also went inland to visit the Richat region during a diying Green Sahara. He also reached the Richat structure(ex city of Atlantis) [3 islands in a lake of Hanno= 2 rings + 1 center] His description of the region definitely matches with the territory of Atlantis
🎉🥳 Richat is Atlantis

Your reaction if Plato trolled us
What if Plato just made up Atlantis for a troll to see if someone would believe some random bullshit he made up like if someone were to tell you that there is a underground city in Antarctica or something personally I believe Atlantis is real in some form but what do you think peoples reaction would be if he just trolled everyone

Richat as the city of Atlantis and its proximity to Gadire
In Critias, Plato mentions the territory of Gadeirus, which was at the extremity of the territory of Atlantis.
The city of Atlantis (Richat)was surrounded by a plain, that was sheltered in the north by moutains that descended towards the sea ( Atlas mountains). The Pillars of Hercules( Strait of Gibraltar) was near, or part of the region of Gadire.

Were there any great heroes of Atlantis? There is so much info out there to sort through so I'm hoping someone here could help directly.

TikTok · ConsciouSean What if Pangea didn’t fall. What if it was flooded🤫🤯🙏🏼
What if Pangea never broke apart. What if the creation of the ice wall, is what triggered the rise in sea level. I explain how during the flood (Noah, Gilgamesh or what ever flood theory you subscribe to) it pushed the oxygen up into space and where it froze. Then fell because solid oxygen is denser than oxygen and engulfing the “globe”. This density also had a direct effect on the sea level. Obviously, this theory would only work on a flat earth with a dome. No matter what you believe, it’s an interesting theory. Let me know if it checks out 🙏🏼🙌🏼🤯

Grand Tour drove through the Eye in their newest special
Just some fun fyi the latest Grand Tour episode dropped today on Amazon called Sand Job. At one point Hammond was dealing with his broken Aston Martin, Clarkson decided he wanted to see the Eye he had heard about. He and May went driving around looking for it at the location they were told it was at. After getting stuck and a few hours they gave up because they couldn’t see it. The camera then panned out and above them and zoomed out to show their geo location, they were in the dead middle of it :P

Echoes of the Empire - Western Europe 01
When we listen to the story of Atlantis there is mention of a presence in western Europe and Africa. Most of us are memorized by the jewel atlantis is and get tunnel vision on the search. If the Empire was as large as noted by platos writing we should be seeing the impact of the Atlantis culture on western Europe before indo Europeans arrived. The history of the basque People as a language isolate tell of previous inhabitants.
this location was previously not known to my self so i post it for you to consider as a colony of atlantis

Sanchuniathon
Has anyone looked into the possible connection between the works Sanchuniathon and Atlantis? it brings up alot of questions and there isnt alot to work with.
Sanchuniathon claims to have based his work on "collections of secret writings of the Ammouneis, discovered in the shrines", sacred lore deciphered from mystic inscriptions on the pillars which stood in the Phoenician temples, lore which exposed the truth—later covered up by allegories and myths—that the gods were originally human beings who came to be worshipped after their deaths and that the Phoenicians had taken what were originally names of their kings and applied them to elements of the cosmos (compare euhemerism), worshipping forces of nature and the sun, moon, and stars. Eusebius cites Sanchuniathon in his attempt to discredit pagan religion based on such foundations.
Taautus of Byblos, according to the Phoenician writer Sanchuniathon, was the son of Misor and the inventor of writing, who was bequeathed the land of Egypt by Cronus.
Sanchuniathon's writings, through the translation of Philo, were transmitted to us by Eusebius in his work Praeparatio evangelica.

" Mammoths and elephants originated in Africa before trekking north into Eurasia, following in the footsteps of the gomphotheres that had gone before and displacing them in the process. By the time humans arrived in the Americas, there were only a few gomphothere species left, which wouldn’t last long. Faced with rapid climate change and overhunting from the continents’ newest inhabitants, the last gomphotheres disappeared at the end of the ice ages, along with the majority of other large mammal species.

Does anyone mind if I cross reference this investigation of Atlantis with the Old Testament story of the Flood?
I've already memorized the story of Genesis after the expulsion from the Garden of Eden and before the flood.
I think that Atlantis was a world without a clear sky above, and the air was like water physically but not chemically water. You couldn't see stars in the sky during the age of Atlantis because the sky was conceived as water instead of space by those living on the Earth during that eon.
Anyone investigated in this direction?

Can the Minoan snake goddess be connected to Atlantis?
This recent article on Greek Reporter examines the supposed snake goddess on Minoan Crete: https://greekreporter.com/2024/02/05/minoan-civilization-crete-snake-goddess/
It discusses the controversy around the goddess herself, but some things appear to be quite certain from the archaeological record. It's a very interesting read.
It got me thinking, since I think the evidence clearly supports a Minoan origin for Atlantis, does the information in this article match anything in Plato's account of Atlantis? Can we tie those snake goddesses or snake priestesses in to anything that appears in the Timaeus or Critias?

more stuff under the sea, is it wrong to search for atlantis under the ocean?
what are these dots under the water? seems like coring holes or columns? remnant of roads or retaining wall? these follow paths, but coral doesn't do that? does it?
one of the reason the Atlantians were subjugating the world was for their labor. The earth works to retain the rising seas must have been occurring for hundreds of years before the final earthquake took them down.
what do yo think was the large scale project that would cause them to enslave the world. Unlike others they were not happy with looting and running. The ditch around the plains would be visible from satellite at least even at the smallest possible variable scale to interpret the stadia. A wise ruler would also build towers/walls along the ditch as defenses or signaling systems for the plains .
