"Reimagining Atlantis" dives deep into the intriguing connections between historical accounts and geographical discoveries to reimagine the lost city of Atlantis. In this episode, we explore a thought-provoking paragraph linking the Nasamones, called "Atlantes" by Herodotus, to the fabled Atlantis. We delve into the geographical descriptions of Plato, the possible implications...

In this podcast, we will discuss the latest research and findings on the possible locations of Atlantis, the civilizations that may have inhabited the city, and how it could have met its catastrophic end.

In this episode of the podcast, we dive into the theory of the Atlantic Sea or Sea of Atlas, a body of water separate from the Atlantic Ocean, as claimed by Plato. This episode presents several statements made by Plato and Herodotus and explains the significance of the Red Sea mentioned in their works. We also explore the location of the mythical island of Erytheia and its connection to the story...

The podcast episode explores the connection between Japheth, a biblical figure, and Iapetus, a Titan in Greek mythology. While Japheth's etymology and onomastic environment cannot be established, Professor Richard Hess suggests that Japheth derives from Greek traditions about Iapetus. Iapetus is associated with mortality and the limits of life, and he is the father of Atlas and Prometheus. Scholar...

In this episode of our podcast, we delve into the historical and mythological events surrounding three devastating floods: the Thera eruption, the Ogyian flood, and the flood of Deucalion. The Thera eruption, also known as the Minoan eruption, occurred on the island of Santorini around 1613 BCE and is considered one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history. The eruption caused widespr...

In this episode of “Reimaging Atlantis”, we will be exploring the climate of Atlantis as described by the ancient Greek philosopher, Plato. Specifically, we will be examining Plato's clues about the presence of certain plant and animal species in Atlantis and comparing them to the climates in which they are known to thrive today. We will begin by discussing the chestnut tree, which Plato describes...

In this episode of "Reimaging Atlantis," we delve into the ancient Greek myth of Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory. Mnemosyne is often depicted as one of the nine Muses, divine beings responsible for inspiring artistic creation. According to myth, Mnemosyne was the daughter of the Titan Uranus and the goddess Gaia, and the mother of the nine Muses by the god Zeus. We explore the various stories and...

In Plato's work, Phaethon is brought up shortly. "There is a story, which even you have preserved, that once upon a time Paethon, the son of Helios, having yoked the steeds in his father's chariot, because he was not able to drive them in the path of his father, burnt up all that was upon the earth, and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt."  This episode explores Phaethon in depth and expl...

Studying Atlantis is difficult because there are important questions that pertain to where, when, and who. Perhaps, I found the when and possibly the who. I would love to know your thoughts on it. After last week’s episode, and the single sentence that changed my life, I have not stopped thinking about it. I have been thinking how to formulate my words to properly communicate. I will follow the sc...

I started this episode wanting to talk about the Red Island by Cadiz Spain and possibly even the mud flats but I became distracted. Dating the Atlantean war always nags at the back of my head. I started this episode with reading some of Plato and explaining what he means. Then I fell down a rabbithole. I kept everything so you can hear my thought process as I worked out the mystery of the time of...

This week, I wanted to expand on Pythagoras and how his work influenced Plato. In order to understand what Plato meant we have to dig deep into his psychology. Plato was well influenced by Pythagoras well into his earlier works, way before he wrote about Atlantis. Both Plato and Pythagorus had a vision of a perfect society. Now, let's take a moment to assign numbers to those notes. We do this ever...

A youtube video on numerology started playing and I almost switched it off. I thought about how ridiculous it was but I thought it would be amusing to listen. Well, the narrator said something of interest to me about the numbers 1-9 and how Pythagorus also used this same numbering system. Pythagoras influenced other ancient Greek authors such as Socrates and Plato. He believed that everything has...

I had to make an episode about Edgar Cayce. So many people point to him as the leading expert in Atlantis. Just so that you all are aware, I started working on this episode since episode 30. I have lost interest so many times. I love magic just as much as the next person but Cayce butchered Plato’s work. I am going to disclaim that I think Edgar Cayce is silly in so many ways. I am extremely biase...

Recently, we have a new TV series that branches off of the Lord of the Rings called the ring of power. What would you do if you had a ring that could turn you invisible? Plato’s book “The Republic” ponders just that question with the ring of Gyges. What? Did Tolkien just rip off Plato or was Plato psychic and foresaw Tolkien and wrote about it 2000 years prior? Did Plato know about what Herodotus...

This episode focuses on Plato and his dialogs. He was pushing an agenda and we need to understand his motivations to understand the Critias and Timaeus. My thought started with the precursor to the Olympic games and ended with a very brief overview of Plato’s other dialogues. I know that I need to go into more detail at another point and I probably will. Just to point out that there are major univ...

I am going to tell you about a little obsession the ancient Greeks had about reincarnation and the afterlife. They were very obsessed about a utopia and what it meant to have an ideal society. Especially during Plato’s time. Plato wrote several books about what it meant to be as a perfect utopia. Part of that utopia was the ability to feed yourself with little work and living in an area where the...

This episode is going to focus on the Richat Structure theory. It was made popular by Jimmy from the youtube channel Bright insight, whom I linked in the episode description. Jimmy cites a show from the Gaia channel who also places Atlantis as the Richat structure. While my own eyes light up when I found this theory I eventually was able to break it down and think about it logically with what I al...

There is so much emphasis on the Great Flood. Most of use picture it in our head as a LONG time ago. Would it surprise you to know that the great flood has been tentatively dated to the Thera Eruption of 1646 BCE? As we are learning, there were more people who survived the great flood. I briefly mentioned Dardanus in one of my previous episodes so I thought I would expand a bit more. And focus on...

I did the thing and finished Atlantis: The Antediluvian world and while I learned some, I feel like I lost brain power on this book. Before I continue, I want to put out a clear disclaimer. I do not agree with Donnelly’s views. Within this episode, I wanted to point out some of the paragraphs that angered me the most. I understand that 1855 was a completely different time but that doesn’t give Don...

This episode focuses on the coorelation between the ancient Greeks and the Sea peoples. Scholars commonly accept that the names given by the Egyptian Pharaohs are the Egyptian names for the different tribes of ancient Greek tribes. https://www.worldhistory.org/Sea_Peoples/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilusa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Returns_from_Troy https://www.greeklegendsandmyths.com/firs...

For this episode, I will be focusing on the first documented race nationalism. The rise of the earth born or Autochthon and how this word combines Plato and the Ancient Greeks. I will go over some mythology on Hephaestus and Gaia and as usual, leave you with more questions than answers. I used Plato and wikipedia as my sources along with some distant knowledge locked in my head from who knows wher...

This episode I thought I would break down the different theories with Plato’s 9000 years ago statement. I will be reading to you some very well put together thoughts on the subject from atlantipedia.ie. They have their own sources cited and I shouldn’t have to reinvent the wheel when it has already been done by people who are arguably smarter than me on the subject. https://atlantipedia.ie/samples...

This episode I thought I would share with you a nugget I found about three years back while visiting Nashville Tennessee. This is where I went to visit the replica Parthenon and was trapped in a hotel with little to do. Michael Hubner was a was a German researcher who presented to the 2008 Atlantis Conference in Athens, a carefully reasoned argument for placing Atlantis in North-West Africa on the...

This episode focuses on that vast garden that belonged to Hera. I am not sure why the garden is more attributed to the daughters of Atlas and Hesperis but this is definitely Hera’s garden. Remember, Clieto had a grove of trees too. Do you think there is a correlation? I often go back and forth between that idea. https://mythology.net/greek/greek-gods/hesperides/ Source: https://www.greekmythology....

This episode will focus on the lost city of Sais as Plato isn’t the only person who has this story. Presumably the Egyptians still have their copy, written in stone. Perhaps we don’t have to drill a hole in the sphinx's right paw to find a hidden passageway to a hall of records touted by Edgar Cayce fans. What if the lost city of Sais is preserved perfectly under water? For this episode, I used th...
