    Too bad that the tale of atlantis wasn't came from Plato it come from Solon who herd it from someone who(Solon) lived from c. 630 - c. 560 BC which is 187 years earlier than helike supposedly disappeared in 373 BC. Also the palce helike would be isn't match the palce where Solon said it would be at all also Helike is a city isn't a continent snanning empire. So no helike isn't atlantis also Plato(n) lived from 424/423 - 348/347 BC so helike would still exist in his lifetime.... quite shoddy 0 facts "documentary".

    Nope! I somehow just knew the Richat Structure is the location. I noticed the striations from the Mediterranean across Northern Africa down through to the Antarctic Ocean on satellite ages ago. Then Jimmy from Bright Insight posted the question with much investigation and he confirmed it in my mind. The white, red and black rocks, fresh water in the middle island, surrounded by the concentric circles of salt water, the measurements of the circles, the mountains to the North, what appears to be millions of tonnes of debris off the coast of Mauritania flowing in the direction of the striations and so much more.
    The thing is, these “scholars” are almost always restricted by the narrative created by academia and can never stray too far from their story. We all know of how human civilisation was no older than the time of Mesopotamia (people’s lives were ruined by academia if they said anything different). Then, Gobekli Tepe came along, 5000 years older. Far too vast to be constructed by hunter gatherers as was stated for some time by the “Educated” until it became so obvious it was an absolutely idiotic statement!
    We need these scholars, but they absolutely have to acknowledge that they only know about what they have found, not what they may discover in the future. Theories are just theories and every single one of them need to understand that evidence makes those theories void if not supported by the new discoveries.

    An interesting documentary on Helike marred by silly comparisons with Atlantis, why? So Helike was hit by a tsunamis in 373 BC but even the. story of Atlantis is credited to Solon circa 590 BC reporting events far older. Helike is in Greece, Atlantis is in the Atlantic, with herds of elephant and a dozen other features entirely irreconcilable with Helike, Coto de Doñana or Crete etc etc. Just read the damn texts. History is already fascinating and precious without being vandalised with such nonsense.

      It's amazing how you all completely miss the point here. No one here is saying Helike IS Atlantis. The idea is that Helike INSPIRED Atlantis. Plato first included references to Atlantis in his works in the 360s BCE, right after Helike was destroyed. Isn't that an amazing coincidence?
      Obviously, Atlantis was never meant to be anything more than a fictional city to be mentioned in the equally fictional dialogues Plato wrote, and this fictional city was inspired by the real world city of Helike.
      Why did Plato use a fictional city of Atlantis instead of real world Helike? Because his fictional dialogue was set in the time of Solon, obviously long before Helike was destroyed, including Helike there would have been a massive anachronism. So Plato made up another city sunk beneath the waves, Atlantis, and used it to teach the same kind of moral lessons his contemporaries drew from the destruction of Helike.
      Helike is not Atlantis. Helike is what proves Atlantis is a fictional place created by Plato.

      ​@@frankvandorp9732 .The notion that Atlantis is a work of fiction is absurd. Nothing about the way it is written suggests that nor is there any evidence that such a genre of literature even existed and instead Plato goes to considerable lengths to explain where it came from. That's not fiction. The explicit prologue and the many fine details clearly serve no moral/fictional function - they are just facts. I don't know how anyone can actually read it and still repeat this silly nonsense. The scale of the disaster clearly isn't "inspired by" Santorini, Helike or anywhere else but ties up almost exactly with the mega tidal wave that hit north western Europe at the end of the Ice Age - which is now proven fact.

Because the shoreline has retreated from Troy’s location by about 4 or 5 miles, it wasn’t discovered by archaeologists until relatively recently. So, Troy is not a “myth.”

      @fleetskipper1810 When I was getting my B.A. in anthropology, my professors kept emphasizing that myths are always based on actual events - you have to take myths seriously, but with a grain of salt. Be prepared to make mistakes & don't let your ego get the better of you. Many scientists have very fragile egos & because of this, they don't like to admit they were wrong, thus preventing big discoveries like Troy. Oh, & BTW, a few years after I graduated with my B.A., then had to drop out of grad school to pay back my student loan, I'd been going to a psychiatrist for depression & anxiety (no surprise, since I couldn't finish my M.A. & Ph.D.) for meds & a psychologist for counseling. I once told the psychologist that all myths are based on actual events, & he immediately said: "No, they're not." I think he thought I was exhibiting "magical thinking", which is a common catchphrase shrinks use when one of their patients tries to think outside the box. He probably thought I was psychotic & was trying to get me to see that what I believed was all in my head. 🙄🙄🙄🙄I I was SO vindicated when archaeologists finally found Troy that if I'd remembered that a$$hole's name, I would've called him up & said: "Didn't you once tell me that myths were just fairytales & weren't based on facts?

      It's called fiction. No one needed to "buy" his tale, because he never intended to pass it off as real history in the first place. Plato and his contemporaries were shocked by the destruction of Helike, and Plato drew upon those experiences to invent another fictional city that sank beneath the waves, Atlantis.
      Obviously, because his fictional dialogue was set in the past in the time of Solon, he couldn't have used Helike itself, that still existed in the time of Solon. So he invented a fictional city.

      @frankvandorp9732 7 місяців тому +3

      That's just wrong, Plato was born in 427 BCE and died in 348 BCE, so in 373 BCE, when Helike was destroyed, Plato was 54 years old. Both Timaeus and Critias, the oldest mentions of Atlantis, were written by Plato after that point, around 360 BCE. Plato almost certainly was aware of the destruction of Helike in his own time, and it could very well have inspired his fictional lost city of Atlantis.

    The timeline plato gave that he had been passed down from solon and passed to solon from the high priests/historians of Egypt was 9600 bc. So no it wasn't 360 bc so it isn't atlantis the younger drias event happened around the same time that could be around the time the earth was struck by a comet on the Greenland ice shelf flash melting 2 miles thick ice causing worldwide devastation for many years to come. Many tsunamis have happened since but only one sank atlantis and that would now lay at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean where plato said it was.

      Bright Mind!
      Copy of my comment:
      🌊 "Atlantis is not myth, the location has been found":
      Atlantis, as described by Plato, is now strongly theorized to be "the Eye of the Sahara". It supports Plato's description on each point.
      As time and Climate Change took place, the Sahara, once a lush green plane of vegetations, lakes, people, and animals, the area became desert, and the arrid climate evaporated the water, leaving a variety of finds throughout the vast desert.
      The "Eye of the Sahara is back draped by the Atlas Mountains, its rings observable, wirh scattered remains of red, white, and black stones.
      Artifacts would be rare, as the water would havw carried them in various directions.
      Landscapes change over tume but Lidar allows us to see the dry lake beds and water routes, and one that leads into the circular features of this location.
      Although I feel Atlantis was a far wider reaching Civilization, one that encompassed a variety of Islands, very possibly including the Atlantic Ridge, and even stretching west to areas of the Americas, I've really little doubt that the "Eye of the Sahara" is the location of Plato's description and over time had come to serve as the Capital of Atlantis, the Civilization's point or orgin and its "Washington DC".
      🔺In time this will be validated, slow due to "Mainstream Academics" Egos and resistance.
      🔺In time "Mainstream Academia" and their "19th Century Theory based Paradigm and Linear Timeline" will be replaced by "Authentic Academia" whom adhere to the "Standards of Science and Research" which prohibits using a Theory as Fact, and we will have Freedom of Thought, for Exploration and Discoveries.

    It seems with the name Atlantis, Atlantis should be in the Atlantic ocean. I favor theories placing Atlantis near the MidAtlantic trench and mountain range, a very volitile region where the continental plates are separating. An island could have sunk, tsamies abound. As the glaciers melt glacial lakes could be freed and massive calfing took place. The oceans were also rizing.

      I agree, it's tragic that we are on the trend of losing grounds to explore rather than gaining them, but we still are developing new technologies to explore what is hidden both on land & beneath the sea. I have hopes for these technologies answering many of the questions we have now.
      Unfortunately, as far as excavations go to get into the minuet details of the sites, that's unlikely to occur in our lifetimes. Then again, even when the climate shifts to a new ice age, most of these archaeological sites in the Northern hemisphere will be ground to mud by glaciation. Whether our species will survive that long, survive whatever causes the start of an Ice Age or still reside on this planet is hard for us to know at this point.
