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?


Plato's writings about the legend of Atlantis:

Will the Real Heracles Stand Up?

Here is something I independently figured out, In platos Atlantis they mention "heracles" who very very much resembles the Egyptian God SHU. He keeps the air dry and off the earth. Herodotus attributes Heracles and the 8 others as the very same said to reside in, what we read in the glyphs one of many names Circuit City. From herodotus " "About Heracles I heard the account given that he was of the number of the twelve gods; but of the other Heracles whom the Hellenes know I was not able to hear in any part of Egypt: and moreover to prove that the Egyptians did not take the name of Heracles from the Hellenes, but rather the Hellenes from the Egyptians,—that is to say those of the Hellenes who gave the name Heracles to the son of Amphitryon,—of that, I say, besides many other evidences there is chiefly this, namely that the parents of this Heracles, Amphitryon and Alcmene, were both of Egypt by descent, and also that the Egyptians say that they do not know the names either of Poseidon or of the Dioscuroi, nor have these been accepted by them as gods among the other gods; whereas if they had received from the Hellenes the name of any divinity, they would naturally have preserved the memory of these most of all, assuming that in those times as now some of the Hellenes were wont to make voyages and were sea-faring folk, as I suppose and as my judgment compels me to think; so that the Egyptians would have learnt the names of these gods even more than that of Heracles. In fact however Heracles is a very ancient Egyptian god; and (as they say themselves) it is seventeen thousand years to the beginning of the reign of Amasis from the time when the twelve gods, of whom they count that Heracles is one, were begotten of the eight gods."​

Dramatist Heiner Müller and Atlantis

Heiner Müller

Heiner Müller (1929-1995) was one of the most important German playwrights and a cultural beacon of the GDR (German Democratic Republic, the socialist eastern German state). Heiner Müller repeatedly saw Atlantis in works that inspired him. But there was no mention of Atlantis in these works. And Heiner Müller repeatedly used Atlantis as a cipher. But this cipher never really had anything to do with Plato's Atlantis.

Nevertheless, Heiner Müller has – unintentionally, and ironically – hit Plato's Atlantis quite well. But see for yourself in my new article "Heiner Müller and Atlantis".

Banc de arguine

This is what 150 miles inland from banc de arguine Mauritania may have looked like 12k years ago by the Richat Structure ( Atlantis). Highly plausible that the new canal found connected the "sea" to the canal to the west open opening of the richat, as the priest recounted.

"The Richat Structure is soooo far away from the sea, it could never have been Atlantis." There is literally a CONFIRMED LAKE AND FLOODING (+exactly during the same time espoused by the theory) on the Richat Wikipedia page

Is there anyone here who has extensive knowledge about stargates, aka teleportation portals? I've just begun to do some research on this topic.

A forgotten Atlantis publication from 1986

in 1986, German authors, literay scholars, and sociologists published a new issue of the magazine "Ästhetik und Kommunikation" (i.e. aesthetics and communication), and the topic was: Atlantis. They wrote articles about various aspects of the Atlantis theme, literary and philosophical, but also about Atlantis as a real place, because they realized more or less clearly that the Atlantis story works by being real.

They came to some of the conclusions I had in my book about the history of Atlantis hypotheses, such as the rejection of Atlantis as a real place by the Romantics, or that National Socialists was not "all in" concerning Atlantis, as many think today. Concerning the stubborness to reject the Atlantis theme in academia, they wrote sentences like this: "The scientific community is not selective in the means of its defense and is by no means always committed to the ideal of discourse." A recurring theme is the comparison of the Atlantis story to the ecological disaster brought about the earth (really or allgedly) by modern industry.

"In the first place you remember a single deluge only, but there were many previous ones"

Regardless of the previous ones, which deluge did the ancient greeks know of? I didn't know they had a great flood myth, though obviously it was common in many cultures at the time.

Aquaventure Day Pass

My family and I got aquaventure day passes for when our cruise is docked in Nassau. Does this just include the aquaventure water park or would we be able to snorkel, swim with dolphins, etc as well!
