Bro was roasting McDojos back in 1645. Savage.
This Lacuna guy sure gets mentioned a lot.
This was only the text of the Kritias and beneath the false translation in the case of the floods it is hard to realise by a spoken text that this dialog is composed of two totally different parts: 1. The already composed text about Ur-Athens which was obviously the unfinished text of Solon which he wrote when he was back in Greece but could not finish because of his death. This is confirmed by the error in it: in the Timaios Kritias said that there was only one spring with no name in Ur-Athens of which the springs of his time were only remnants. But in the Kritias he calls the Eridanus which was one of the springs of his time the border of Ur-Athens. But meant was the river Etidanus between Europe and Hyperborea which was the border of the land ruled by Athene and Hephaistos. This mistake was caused by unaccurate keywords which Solon wrote down in Egypt. 2. The second part of the Kritias is a simple listing of points, containing the information which Kritias asked from his Grandfather. It shows what part of the story Kritias was interested in as a child, but it also contains one error: one of the points is inserted at the wrong position! This can be explained by the way this dialog was composed by Kritias which is told in the Timaios. Kritias realized all night long what his Grandfather has told him. Obviously this point came to his mind too late when he already was tired and thus he inserted it at the wrong location. Every single of these facts prove that the dialogs Timaios and Kritias (and the absend but in the Laws of Platon used Hermokrates) were real talks. It is a shame that the philologers (which were paid to do this) not even recognised this and instead tell the nonsense of the invention of the dialogs by Platon.

The tumb of Gilgamesh was found
Must have books: Lost Book of Enki ( translation for 800 sumerian tablets) Epic of Gilgamesh The Atrahasis
Hammurabi, Sargon, Nimrod, Tammuz, Adoni, Adonis, and Odin/Wotan have many commonalities.
M.P. Courville and Jason Breshear's books prove to my satisfaction that Plato's years were lunar not solar. Even some of his Greek contemporaries knew it at the time. That puts Atlantis around the Bronze Age Collapse, in Northwest Africa. And I'm not talking about the Richat, though I'm still open to it as a possible location. I'm not fully convinced. There's simply no way it was 10,000 BC as there were no Greeks to have a war with at the time. The Berbers or Amazighs as they call themselves are likely their descendants. They were Phoenicians. The Amazigh flag is a glyph of Poseidon's.
Stupid interpretation! Even the fragments of Berossos in connection with the Sumerian kinglist confirm the date! And learn to read! Even the text says that the later Greeks were only the remnants of one of the tribes which inhabited Greece. This is in accordance with the statement that the population of Ur-Athens because of an earthquake sank into the earth in a single day and night. The original inhabitants of Greece were Pelasgians.
long ago in a land far away there existed a great civilisation not unlike Rome. yet a great cataclysm happened and all its citizens died. the only people left to carry it's tradition and legacy, were outsiders unaffected.
The "outsiders" were not unaffected! According to the texts Egypt was occupied by Atlantis in the course of the war which occured about 9500 BC and was freed when Ur-Athens had defeated Atlantis. But then about 8500 BC according to the text Egypt had to be founded again. That means that Egypt was also affected by the flood which sank Atlantis and that this flood happened between 9500 and 8500 BC which means: about 9000 BC. And this date is confirmed by the fragments of Berossos (33.500 BC date of the first flood) and the Sumerian Kinglist (24.510 years, 3 months and 1/2 day duration of the dynasties after that flood!).
we seem to have a confusion about facing stonework being called bricks - the inner bailey is apparently a keep . Never mind - it is all interesting if a little spoiled by the weird giddy video style

Jackson Bentley: What is it, Major Lawrence, that attracts you personally to the desert? T.E. Lawrence: It's clean.
If it's not crystal clear to you that the writers of the Old Testament stole their story from The Epic Of Gilgamesh, there is simply no hope for you.

I read this book on one afternoon during the pandemic along with The Art Of War, The Oddessy, The Illiad, the Anied, and my Bible .
It's like Satan took the Biblical account of creation and just made himself the main character instead of God, lol...

sadly when Cylynder was found it was in a fairly rough shape and most parts of the text is destroyed and all the lacuna word he's saying is for the parts that are missing from the text❤
