The Truth About Atlantis

cDescribed by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato in his dialogues "Timaeus" and "Critias," Atlantis is said to have been an advanced island civilization that existed thousands of years ago.

According to Plato's accounts, Atlantis was located beyond the "Pillars of Hercules," often identified with the Strait of Gibraltar, in the Atlantic Ocean. The civilization was said to have been founded by a powerful and technologically advanced race known as the Atlanteans, who possessed great wealth, military prowess, and knowledge of engineering and architecture.

The society of Atlantis was described as utopian in many respects, with sophisticated infrastructure, grand palaces, and a complex system of governance. The Atlanteans were said to have created a prosperous and harmonious civilization, living in harmony with nature and enjoying the benefits of their advanced technology.

However, according to Plato, the prosperity of Atlantis was eventually undone by its own hubris and moral decay. The Atlanteans became increasingly corrupt and decadent, leading the gods to punish them for their transgressions. In a cataclysmic event, Atlantis was said to have been engulfed by the sea, sinking beneath the waves and disappearing from the face of the Earth.

The story of Atlantis has inspired countless theories and interpretations over the centuries. Some scholars believe that Plato's accounts were purely allegorical or fictional, intended to convey philosophical or moral lessons rather than describe a literal historical civilization. Others have proposed various locations for the lost island, ranging from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.

Despite the lack of concrete evidence for the existence of Atlantis, the legend continues to capture the popular imagination. Archaeologists, historians, and explorers have searched for traces of the lost civilization, with some claiming to have discovered potential sites or artefacts linked to Atlantis. However, conclusive proof of Atlantis's existence remains elusive, leaving the mystery of this enigmatic civilization shrouded in speculation and intrigue.

In my books, videos and blog posts I have talked about advanced technology of the past. And although we never called ourselves Atlantians, we did have various civilisations in the past. I have also talked about how time resets after every three Aeons have gone full circle. What we always need to remember is that time moves in cycles, what we think of as advanced would be useless and obsolete in the distant past, but as time resets all the technology was lost each time.

And as far as sunken cities go, there is a lot less land than there used to be. The UK didn't used to be separated from the rest of Europe by sea, you could walk across. And various other places on the globe are also now underwater. So many cities will be underwater and forgotten. And as time moves on and the water recedes, that land will surface again, forever changing how future maps will look.

So it is entirely possible that one such area or city was indeed called Atlantis in the past.
