@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? That's the mentality we're up against.

I don't think the video is claiming that the City of Troy is a myth, but rather that the story of the horse is. Whereas hard archaeology can show that Troy actually existed, we'll never know how factual the story about the horse is. I would have used the term "legend" to describe the story, but they chose "myth".

But "Maria's COZY CORNER", ON NOTRE-DAME WAS NOT A MYTH, BUT A 99YEAR LEASE,

The story was a myth proven to be based on a real thing.

Homor's myth was.

Is there a website to follow what has already been excavated?

@@diocles1743 Thank You!

I hope it is the truth about Albanian ancestors that everyone likes to deny their existence 😢

They are bad historians. This city was destroyed when Plato was 60 years old and is only 40 miles from Athens. He wrote about Atlantis only 10 years after it was destroyed. Do you think he was mistaken? The greatest mind in history thought the town next door was a 10,000 year old civilization?

Thanks!

The only similarities is that it was an advanced civilization that disappeared beneath the waves. I am not a scholar. I just read a lot. Atlantis while a myth, it does not match up with this city. Myth just mean no one alive saw it. I am sure in another 1000 yrs, many of today's knows will be called myths.

I thought Solon was Pluto's Grandfather x 5?

It all could be related, perhaps ... Helike, Atlantis, Santorini, all could have been taken down together ... or even when Vesuvius blew up, and took Pompei and Herculaneum, they are side by side countries. Who knows ?

Atlantian time age was 5k years before the egyptian. Egypt time age was like 5k years from now. (And if you would read the scrolls of thoth.. you would know they went from atlantis to egypt) So yeah this docu makes less sense to me to..

Indeed Atlantis is much older than a city around the greek times. This is only to poke up a story. Has nothing to do with Atlantis.

And is in Albania.

There is no evidence that the citadel found by Heinrich Schliemann is Troy he said it was to make his career. the 'Troad site does not fit all of the historical records only a couple hundred people could survive at the 'Troad site Troy is a much larger city that with stood a 10 year seige

Part way thru the video, the link to Atlantis was discontinued. The title interested me due to my curiosity about Atlantis. The interesting story kept my attention to Helike, and I may not have watched it w/o the Atlantis mention.

what i thought just to have attention for this docu@@mlight7402

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.

they did not talk in detail about Pluto's description and compare it to what they talking about ...

@@wisammoeali indeed!! What happened to the "Beyond Hercule's pillars"??? Selike doesn't come even close to those that are situated near the Gibraltar strait!

Do you have any sources? I’m actually asking bc I’d be fascinated to know more if that’s true!

Then why is Plato’s account the only one that exists? You also seem to forget that Plato wrote about a conversation between Solon and Croesus, even though they lived 300 years apart.

Thank you Faizan. It's amazing how many people shout 'prove it' when this is Ancient Egypt History 101.

@@Ibnafrika If it was Egyptian history, it would have been noted in Egypt somewhere. Plato's third-hand account wouldn't be the only source of the story.

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.

@@Joanna-il2ur Watch the clash of the titans.

@@m1k3droid awful film. They brought the kraken into it from Norse mythology.

@@Joanna-il2ur that is false. The Greek name for the same monster was Ketos, or in latin, Cetus, and it was was a monster of tremendous size and power in greek mythology. Of course in the Perseus myth, Keypheos and Queen Kassiopoeia were of Ethiopia. Ironically Cetus is the current scientific name for the genus of cetaceans (whales, dolphins etc) , and various toothed cetaceans like Sperm Whales and Orcas have been known to be aggressive toward humans in antiquity, so it is possible that Ketos was a sperm whale, which might explain what the "Head of Medusa" was: a giant squid, which is known to battle toothed whales and will prey on porpoises. However that analogy may just be projecting modern understanding onto an old myth

@@m1k3droid Yep. I know the myth although some place her at Jaffa. Still no idea what that has to do with Atlantis. Or the movie, where they imported the kraken.

Maybe because the 373bc wasnt the first time the city sank

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.

just like the egyptians built the pyramids 12500 years ago right

@@LuciferMornStar Exactly. Any talk of this being Atlantis is nonsense.

Plato was 60 and 40 miles away when the city was destroyed.... I do not think he made a mistake.

He spoke of a civilisation much older as the one of Egypt so every comparison with Atlantis is far fetched.@@patrickf9217

Poseidon doesn’t play games

That's why I think it is the eye of Africa it's not west but Plato never said west. Plus a Roman map shows Atlantis people at the eye of Africa. Mountains to the north same size frash water in the center. Same kind of rocks and mining materials.

Oh yes, many cities sunk beneath the waves.

Exactly!!! elike would be destroyed while Plato is still alive also others would know it as well so no one would buy his tale also he stated that he got the tale from Solon who lived almost 200 years earlier(187) than elike-s destruction this "Documentary" is horseshit also it's nothing like atlantis was described and what she found at best an odler settlement with a few houses not a city.... with a temple of poseidon.... where is the temple??? And tempels weren't tiny where are the columns :,D no greek temple were made a row (or multiple row) of ornate pillars.

What about shelike

You don't get it, no one is saying Helike IS Atlantis. Helike is what inspired Plato to create the fictional tale of Atlantis. Plato knew Helike, and suddenly, right after Helike was destroyed, he started including references about another city lost between the waves into his fictional dialogues. It's not hard to connect the dots there.

@@maszkalman3676 " no one would buy his tale also he stated that he got the tale from Solon who lived almost 200 years earlier" 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.

Thanks for the insightful comment😌let us hope we can uncover as much as possible 🤞

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.

Plato was alive and 40 miles away when the city was destroyed. He was 60 years old when this city was destroyed. He probably saw it happen

Prove that it's fictional... There is a site in Africa that was at sea level at the time of Atlantis and matches the discription almost 100% as well as the isolated local native population having the same historical mythos as the kingdom of Atlantis down to incredible detail. It is the only site to match the major 10 or more major points that describe Atlantis. Many of those are very unique on their own. Let alone combined with more than two others. Some of the points are completley unique as far as we know and still shared by one single site in both the myth and the Eye of the Sahara. The only point that does not match is that they can't prove if any of the springs were warm or "hot" water springs, but they know the area was a giant volcanic formation so it very well could have had thermal activity at the time. While he used the end results of the story as a warning, that doesn't mean the city or the destruction was fictional.
