What did Plato actually say about Atlantis and why has the story lasted this longIn this episode, Stig, Bernie, and I sit down to break down Plato’s original Atlantis account from Timaeus and Critias and separate the text from the hype.We dig into what Plato describes about Atlantis, the timeline he gives, how the story is framed through Egyptian priests and Solon, and whether Atlantis should be read as literal history, moral allegory, political warning, or all three at once.If you’ve only heard the popular version, this conversation will bring you back to the source and show why Plato’s Atlantis still matters today.Topics we coverPlato’s original sources and why they matterKey details people misquote or leave outWhat the story was meant to teachHistory vs myth and where the line gets blurryWhy Atlantis became a global obsessionDrop your take in the commentsDo you think Plato was describing a real place, a parable, or something in betweenFollow and support the workWebsite: rebirthoftheword.comYouTube: @rebirthoftheword7099X: @rebirthofthewo1
