Scientists have uncovered secrets messages hidden inside ancient text written by Greek philosopher Plato.
His works have been scrutinised and debated for more than 2,000 years by the greatest minds in history. But it turns out the Greek philosopher Plato still has a few surprises up his sleeve.

-1-All criticisms are good and I understand huge leaps of faith are required to reach my conclusions. Then again they are not conclusions but merely suggestions right now. The new-age is becoming a catch all term it seems, the fourfoldpath site is more about Pythagorean and neo-platonic thought than anything to do with new-age by my reckoning but I'm often wrong. -2-The Tuatha come from the East but my thoughts are that they were one of a migrating group of the remnant of the matriarchal Danu river folk people. It is possible, though admittedly not likely that there was a related tribe of rive... [More]

Cheers for the critique. I can't help being drawn towards certain things but I do try and draw a line between what is known from proof and what can only be speculated upon. The problem is that archeology can only ever reveal a fragment of the past as so many other materials degrade much faster than stone and metal. We know only so much about ancient funerary rites and the world is too big a place to regularly encounter amazing finds I guess, I would like them to dig deeper occasionally and look at more ancient times. What am I on about? - I don't know how archeology works, I'm sure they do a v... [More]

Jim, I responded to your former post, point for point. But now you just pull out another few rabbits from your high hat... Indeed. I was descending down the rabbit hole in fact. I appreciated your point for point response but you sowed it up so well I did not think it warranted direct responses to each point from me. I understand my approach may be annoying but I have three windows open and am reading and trying to bring things together. i get lost myself sometimes but I do like to move the discussion along rather than get strung out. Also, I was only just realizing how much shamanism was gett... [More]

This is what I'm looking forward to finding out. Being that his Timaeus and Critias dialogues were the earliest source of Atlantis, this music-based secret code could be quite revealing. That's what the people who used the language of sanskrit did..the scrolls were composed of 'musical' vibrations, of songs..this was highly powerful, because of the resonance of vibrations

Is that new-speak for, "Put the story in rhyme, then compose a catchy tune, and all that will give you a nice song that you will remember till the day you die" ?? . That's close, but not from what I have come across. Early tradition of Indian Medicine, Ayurveda, had a specific section that dwelt with healing via sound produced by specific tones at a specific pitch at a specific meter produced specific results. One could say that part of the preion being chanted by the healer in a specific way, would heal a specific organ of it's specific maladies. The theory was based on the idea that everythi... [More]

I think most if not all members here will want to know what the secret code in Plato's Atlantis story will tell us.Maybe an ancient Greek joke?? That's a scary thought... those guys were perverts! LOL!

The theory was based on the idea that everything had associated with it a primal sound and was represented by the original pronunciation of the written character in Sanskrit.

I might be mistaken, but wasn't Hyperborea a greek myth to begin with?
