docyabut2 Posted August 18, 2019 #1676 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) Plato believes in a cyclical theory of history: Human beings suffer in the afterlife, if they were bad, or enjoy a kind of paradise, if they were good, yet after several 1000 years, they start a new life on earth, with almost no memory of the previous life. Perhaps why he was suggesting the culture of Atlantis existed in reincarnations several 1000 years, and put it back 10,000 years ago back before his time, but brought it back to the close to his time1000 years before his time in reincarnations Edited August 18, 2019 by docyabut2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atalante Posted August 18, 2019 #1679 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) trying to get back on topic ... about Atlantis in Spain ... Since at least 1986, mineralogy has been confirming a sentiment about Gadeira that Pindar expressed in his Nemian 4 - i.e. that Phoenicians were NOT using a trade route in the outer sea to reach France, Brittain, etc. A 1986 book about tin, by Penhallurick (which is cited by 240 others in Google Scholar), says there is no archaeological basis for the modern legend that Phoenicians sailed to Britain. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=17795330611193757229&hl=en&as_sdt=805&sciodt=0,3&scioq=tin+in+antiquity The following summary of Penhallurick's info is from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin_sources_and_trade_in_ancient_times Greece had access to tin from Iberia by way of the Phoenicians who traded extensively there, from the Erzgebirge by way of the Baltic Amber Road overland route, or from Brittany and Cornwall through overland routes from their colony at Massalia (modern day Marseilles) established in the 6th century BC (Penhallurick 1986). In 450 BC, Herodotus described tin as coming from Northern European islands named the Cassiterides along the extreme borders of the world, suggesting very long distance trade, likely from Britain, northwestern Iberia, or Brittany, supplying tin to Greece and other Mediterranean cultures (Valera & Valera 2003, p. 11). The idea that the Phoenicians went to Cornwall for its tin and supplied it to the whole of the Mediterranean has no archaeological basis and is largely considered a myth (Penhallurick 1986, p. 123). Pindar, a century before Plato, had commented (in Nemean 4) that passage westward from Gadeira was impossible. www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/textdoc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0162:book=N.:poem=4 "Beyond Gadeira towards the western darkness there is no passage; turn back [70] the ship's sails again to the mainland of Europe," Edited August 18, 2019 by atalante 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family roots include raising chickens directly from eggs.

And if he had come around in this age of technical wonders, I can't but believe that he would have soared well above any great photographer of today, as well. Plato, a great geographer, but still only a disciple of The greatest human geographer, Socrates. Plato's Phaedo. Now the earth has divers wonderful regions, and is indeed in nature and extent very unlike the notions of geographers, as I believe on the authority of one who shall be nameless. What do you mean, Socrates? said Simmias. I have myself heard many descriptions of the earth, but I do not know, and I should very much like to know, in which of these you put faith. And I, Simmias, replied Socrates, if I had the art of Glaucus would tell you; although I know not that the art of Glaucus could prove the truth of my tale, which I myself should never be able to prove, and even if I could, I fear, Simmias, that my life would come to an end before the argument was completed. I may describe to you, however, the form and regions of the earth according to my conception of them. That, said Simmias, will be enough. Well, then, he said, my conviction is, that the earth is a round body in the centre of the heavens, and therefore has no need of air or any similar force to be a support, but is kept there and hindered from falling or inclining any way by the equability of the surrounding heaven and by her own equipoise.

From what I can tell, using Liddell and Scott's Greek and English Lexicon, the following phrase: Quote λῆξιν δὲ ἄκρας τῆς νήσου πρὸς Ἡρακλείων στηλῶν Loosely translates as: "the furthest point/portion in the direction of the Pillars of Hercules" which has NOTHING to do with the 'end of the world' as you claim. And even then, said part is only concerning the part of Plato's Atlantis that belongs to Eumelus and NOT Atlantis in its entirety. cormac Edited August 20, 2019 by cormac mac airt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
