In the ancient Baths of Trajan, near the Colosseum, a worker accidentally scraped away part of a wall this spring, revealing a map some 2,000 years old. But a map of what? "It's certainly not Rome, because the features don't match," says site superintendent Eugenio La Rocca. "Also, it's not London, as has been suggested." Historians are considering the possibility that it's a mythical city, or a figment of the artist's imagination, but La Rocca is not convinced. "It's possible it's Atlantis, but we don't think so," he says. "It's so precise, we believe it's a real city." While experts compare the map to the layout of known ancient cities, modern technology has been brought to bear on the question. Experts have enhanced the faded colors of the painting, and built a three-dimensional model based on it. Art historians are also intrigued -- the painter used shadowing and perspective techniques that were uncommon in the first century A.D., and painted buildings reflected in water. Perhaps most intriguingly, the map is painted from an overhead perspective, as if the artist was hovering above the city gates. Though historians have the best of modern technology and surviving ancient documents on their side, the map may never be understood; the city it depicts and the artist who painted it may have left no other tracks to follow. http://www.cnn.com/TECH/science/9805/27/italy.mystery.map/index.html All this including the zones and the bridge, which was the sixth part of a stadium in width, they surrounded by a stone wall on every side, placing towers and gates on the bridges where the sea passed in. http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/critias.html it could mean a lost city of Tartessos ("It's certainly not Rome, because the features don't match," says site superintendent Eugenio La Rocca.

It was built around 100 AD, so around 600 years after Plato.

docyabut2 Posted May 21, 2019 #905 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) THE LOST CITY OF TARTESSUS There is nothing quite so invigorating as the story of a lost city. Stories from archaeology and fiction are replete with such tales, both real and fanciful. One such lost city was called Tartessus or Tartessos by the ancient Romans and Greeks https://www.anomalist.com/features/tartessus.html The Tartessians also had close ties to the eastern Greeks, especially the lost Greek colony called Mainake in southwestern Spain.

Carried a map? Of a city "lost" 9,000 years before? A city that just happens to have Roman architecture 8,000 years before the Romans developed it? Nope.

This is not a joke. It's the Capital building of the USA, the one on capitol hill at Washington DC. The dimensional proportions are nearly the same, as its length is a ratio just about 1 to 1/2. 1 stadium in length is represented by the 751 feet, and the width of 1/2 stadium is represented by the 350 feet. And of course, it is of a proportionate height, when considering the dome height. And the dome is the strange barbaric appearance stated by Plato. The exterior of the capital building is mostly of a typical classical Greek architecture, except for the large dome, which is of Roman design and engineering for such large-scale hemispherical architectural structures, which came well after Plato's time.. And to the classical Hellenes, all non-Hellenes were considered barbarians. We are free to look at the rest of what Plato said about Poseidon's temple, and we will note all the details will make perfect sense. For instance, the exterior was all silver, except for the pinnacles, which were gold. What we have is an exterior that looks like silver under certain conditions. And the pinnacle is golden, as the Goddess Liberty is bronze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critias did not consider the metropolis of Atlantis to be immediately glorious at 9000 years Before-Solon. According to Critias, that was the date (9000 Before-Solon) when the cosmos was set in order by the gods, and also when soil erosion started to occur in Attica. [Crit 114c] So all these, themselves and their descendants, dwelt for many generations bearing rule over many other islands throughout the sea, and holding sway besides, as was previously stated,1 over the Mediterranean peoples as far as Egypt and Tuscany.

Your quote doesn't confirm what you just said. However, it's clear that the Tartessos culture didn't conquer or dominate Egypt, and it's clear that they didn't make cities like that. So a painting, 500+ years after Plato, proves nothing. Also, Critias didn't say that. Plato wrote that. I know it's pedantic, but there was a real Critias. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Quote Let me begin by observing first of all, that nine thousand was the sum of years which had elapsed since the war which was said to have taken place between those who dwelt outside the Pillars of Heracles and all who dwelt within them; this war I am going to describe. Of the combatants on the one side, the city of Athens was reported to have been the leader and to have fought out the war; the combatants on the other side were commanded by the kings of Atlantis, which, as was saying, was an island greater in extent than Libya and Asia, and when afterwards sunk by an earthquake, became an impassable barrier of mud to voyagers sailing from hence to any part of the ocean. Critias You're simply wrong here. Harte 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
