What’s up with Lemuria (Mu) and Atlantis? Did these two societies and cultures really exist? For me the answer is an obvious and resounding yes. But, the only existing written records which specifically refer to Atlantis are two of Plato’s dialogues- Timaeus and Critias! The dialogues are conversations between Socrates, Hermocrates, Timeaus, and Critias.
The dialogues that follow were written by Plato some time around 360 BC apparently in response to a prior talk by Socrates about ideal societies, Timeaus and Critias agree to entertain Socrates with a tale that is not a fiction but a true story. Thus the discussion about Atlantis.
The dialogue is about the conflict between the ancient Athenians and the Atlantians 9000 years before Plato’s time. The story of Atlantis was conveyed to Solon by Egyptian priests. Solon passed the tale to Dropides, the great-grandfather of Critias. Critias learned of it from his grandfather also named Critias, son of Dropides.
Critics who have reputations to protect have dismissed Plato’s account as factional or political but have no proof of such of course. But what geologists have discovered are the ruins of Atlantis below the sea in the Mediterranean. WHo would have thought tolook there? Well, if one understands that when the last ice age ended about 12,000 years ago (10,000BCE), the melted ice rasised the sea levels about 3 feet for close to 100 years.
A three hundred foot increase in the sea level buried many cities. However, if some scientists are correct, the crossing of the galatic plane in 2012 could raise the sea level some 2,000 feet. Close to 80% of the world’s population lives on or near the seacoast.
Geologists have been discovering massive buildings, megalethic formations off the shore of Spain, Morocco, And adjacent land-sea areas. And what’s one to say about ancient MAPS which show larger land masses than are in existence today- if not further proof of the existence of ancient civilizations like Mu and Atlantis.
If we will deny the reality of history, I’m afraid we’ll be doomed to repeat such.
But hope lives eternal!
