ATLANTIS - PART ONE - THE WORDS OF TIMAEUS & CRITIAS

In this video, I try to present the words of Plato and place them under the context of his time and place.
This being my first attempt at a long video, I hope it is worth your time.
All landscapes presented in this video are from the Azores Islands, whose geography, geology and culture, can still be mirrored in the words of Solon the Elder.
If anyone is interested in any of the material presented in this video, do reach out to me at:
@RicardoCalvrio1 in Twitter

I will share it gladly.

The spoken words are written by me, the images are from my own collection.
The footage and definitions presented are from from different sources.

Even using computer voice, putting this together is a lot of work. I can tell our view of the past is very different now, but I was of a similar opinion not that long ago

Well done. A very well put together video. It was the correct choice to use 2 voices and you had the background music and sounds volume just right. And good observations made, particularly at the end.
Tips from someone who use to use computer voices. Sometimes I found it better to use excessive, to break up sentences more. I also found that I had to deliberately misspell certain words for the voice to say it correctly. For instance, I had to spell Gobekli Tepe as Gobeklee Tepai, which is annoying.

Good job

Ooh you worked so hard on this and so much good material and images. I wish you could use your own voice instead of the chip voice. That would be lovely if you did. Any chance you can enable the autogenerated captions? Or maybe they will be available later, maybe the video is too brand new?

Does Athanasius Kircher’s world famous Atlantis map show the coast of America in Pre-Flood times? In other words, does it show the current coast of the Carolinas? Or does it actually show the now underwater, semi-continental shelf of America? Specifically, the rim of land whose peaks rise above the water between Puerto Rico and Trinidad. Where the Atlantic Plate crashed into the Caribbean Plate. Creating what we now call the Lesser Antilles.

We tend to think that the east coast of America sits across the Atlantic from Spain. BUT, if one were to draw a straight line across the globe - from Spain through The Great Meteor Seamount and beyond – that line would not go to North America, it would go straight to the Lesser Antilles.

We do not know if Kircher simply placed outliers on his copy of the map for reference, or if the outliers were on the original Egyptian map.

This harkens back to an old legend, that once said that Athanasius Kircher, a founder of Egyptology, found a map in the Vatican. This ancient map was created in Egypt and brought to Italy by the Romans sometime around 30 BCE. Kircher made a copy of the map and published it circa 1664. We have all seen it. But what most do not see, is that Kircher’s Atlantis map appears to be a map of The Great Meteor Seamount.

The problem is people think they are looking at a Continent, not an Island. This means the outliers on the map (Spain, America, etc.) are NOT in scale, they are merely location markers showing where the island sat in the ocean. Which is right where Plato said Atlantis was ~ in the Atlantic in front of the Pillars Of Hercules.

Kircher’s coast of Spain is not very accurate compared to what we know today. So did he draw that coast himself, using sailor maps from the mid 1600’s? Or did he make an exact copy of the original Egyptian?

This accuracy relates to the coast of America as well as the island itself. If Spain is inaccurate, Great Meteor and America may be inaccurate too. Or does Spain look incorrect because it shows a now underwater coastline? When we look at Great Meteor on a map today, we do not see the pre-diluvium coastline, we see all the way down. Still, Great Meteor does resemble Kircher’s Atlantis, though the 2 small islands sit in different positions when compared to current maps. Are they actually the 2 seamounts next to Great Meteor? Were those 2 islands on the original map? Or did Kircher place them there to match Plato’s story which tells of islands between Atlantis and the outlying continent?

Of course, without the original map, we cannot know the answers to these questions, we can only ask them. But they are interesting to ponder.

The Egyptians could not have made a map of something if it was always underwater. That The Great Meteor Seamount could be Atlantis is very simple. If a landmass currently underwater was mapped in ancient times, that means that it was once above water. And not just above water but right where Plato said Atlantis was ~ in front of the Pillars Of Hercules.

It has been said that Plato’s Atlantis is supposed to be 5, 000 kilometers from Athens. So sits The Great Meteor Seamount. Plato said, “10 islands for 10 kings”. As seen on Kircher’s map, Great Meteor has 2 small islands next to it. Today these seamounts are known as Little Meteor and Closs. If we count these 2, as well as Great Meteor itself - and the giant Azores mass - we have a total of 10 islands. The others being the seamounts named Hyeres, Irving, Cruiser, Tyro, Plato and of course… Atlantis.

Nice stuff. If you have not yet, have a look at Aztlan story, sounds similar.

[damion]

Why do people fight the obvious fact that "Atlantis" was where the Richat structure currently is?

[rnvooght]

I think you should consider narrating these yourself my friend. I think it would go a long way towards folks recognising you for the research your so eloquently piecing together. Spirited wishes..🙏

The island of Atlantis was discovered in Greece in 1989 with irrefutable evidence
