COP Ep3 – Conspiracy Otter vs Atlantis
Conspiracy Otter Episode 3: Conspiracy Otter vs Atlantis
What and When was Atlantis?
Atlantis, an island nation mentioned in Plato’s dialogues “Timaeus” and “Critias,” has been an object of fascination among western philosophers and historians for nearly 2,400 years. Plato (c.424–328 B.C.) describes it as a powerful and advanced kingdom that sank, in a night and a day, into the ocean around 9,600 B.C. The ancient Greeks were divided as to whether Plato’s story was to be taken as history or mere metaphor. Since the 19th century there has been renewed interest in linking Plato’s Atlantis to historical locations, most commonly the Greek island of Santorini, which was destroyed by a volcanic eruption around 1,600 B.C.
Atlantis was spoken of as a very advanced society technologically and politically. A naval force that dominated The Mediterranean area and into the Middle East.
This power came forth out of the Atlantic Ocean, for in those days the Atlantic (not the Atlantic you know) was navigable. So it’s not now??? The island was larger than Libya and Asia Minor]( In older sources it largely referred to the Greek coast, but later extended further west. The Middle East is a bit more complicated. Usually it constitutes Anatolia (Turkey), the Levant (Lebanon, Syria, Israel), the Arabian Peninsula (the Saudis, UAE, Oman,Qatar, Bahrain, Yemen), Iraq, and Egypt.) put together, and was the way to other islands, and from the islands you might pass the opposite continent which surrounded the true ocean. For this sea which is within the Straits of Heracles is only a harbor, having a narrow entrance, but that other is a real sea and the surrounding land may be most truly called a continent. Now, in the island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire, which had rule over the whole island and several others as well as over parts of the continent and, besides these, they subjected the parts of Libya with the Columns of Heracles as far as Egypt, and of Europe as far as Tyrrhenia (Italy) and in a single day and night of rain all your warlike men in a body sunk into the earth and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared and was sunk beneath the sea.
Plato’s Critias says he heard the story of Atlantis from his grandfather, who had heard it from the Athenian statesman Solon (300 years before Plato’s time), who had learned it from an Egyptian priest, who said it had happened 9,000 years before that. So around 11,000 years ago (Nibiru cycle about 3600 years?)
According to Critias, the Hellenic (Greek) gods of old divided the land so that each god might have their own lot; Poseidon was appropriately, and to his liking, bequeathed the island of Atlantis. The island was larger than Ancient Libya and Asia Minor combined,[19][20]( In older sources it largely referred to the Greek coast, but later extended further west. The Middle East is a bit more complicated. Usually it constitutes Anatolia (Turkey), the Levant (Lebanon, Syria, Israel), the Arabian Peninsula (the Saudis, UAE, Oman,Qatar, Bahrain, Yemen), Iraq, and Egypt.) but it was later sunk by an earthquake and became an impassable mud shoal, inhibiting travel to any part of the ocean.
