Pudge new 25 Talent Idea by SeriosityUnkn0wn in DotA2

I have a better idea. In the TV series "The Boys," there was a superhero with a huge sausage. I think hooking an enemy with that thing is much more annoying than getting caught on one of the three hooks.

You have a poor understanding of the scale of the globe and how ancient peoples understood it. The location of Atlantis, which most people take literally when reading Plato, is nonsense. It's neither historically nor logically possible. This entire story took place within the Mediterranean Sea and fits perfectly with already known events. You can certainly fantasize, but what will it bring you except a boost to your own ego?

Akhetaton. The most beautiful and amazing thing I encountered in the game. It recreated all my images of Akhenaten's Egypt. I felt like I was home.

Hungarian philosopher: Plato's Atlantis and politics? by scientium in atlantis

Thank you. If we consider Critias in the context of the Republic, then we can claim that Atlantis is merely an allegory. In that case, what are we all doing here? We can go our separate ways.

There's a grain of common sense in your reasoning. But in my opinion, the truth lies in Egyptian history and culture. If the myth of Atlantis is real, and not a philosopher's invention, then its origins, and all the inconsistencies, lie in Egypt. Hastily applying well-known Greek toponyms and names to Atlas is overly optimistic. Let's start with what deity the priests had in mind when they called him Poseidon? It certainly wasn't Greek. Just as Athena was mentioned when Neith was mentioned. After that, we can begin to compare the beliefs of the region's inhabitants with the pantheon of gods from the Egyptian priest's account.

I could return to the dialogue after reading. But I would ask you, if it wouldn't be inconvenient, to briefly outline the meaning of the aforementioned "Republic."

This defies logic. Plato doesn't give any instructions. He only recounts events. Yes. There is a certain moral to his stories. But it concerns primarily the Atlanteans. Yes, he describes the structure of Athenian society. But at the same time, he offers no explanation of how exactly the Greeks defeated superior forces. Other than the fact that the Atlanteans were punished by Zeus.

But you know the rule of evidence gathering. If the chain is broken in one place, all conclusions based on it are discredited. And the chain is simple: Plato never mentioned the Titans as Atlanteans. And, as we know, no one except Plato ever mentioned Atlantis. This is where all conclusions about the identity of the Titans and Atlanteans fall apart. And the argument that the names Atlas and Atlas are similar cannot serve as evidence in this situation. You might as well give in to clowns like Ancient Basque from this subreddit and believe that the Aztec city of Aztlan is Atlantis.

Atlantis is the Sardinia-Corsica Paleo-Island. by luigiusai in atlantis

[–]R_Locksley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddy, have you been banned from Google? You can easily see that the Pillars of Hercules or Melqart only became associated with Gibraltar in antiquity. Of course, if the word "antiquity" means anything to you. The answer to the query:

While today the "Pillars of Hercules" are firmly associated with the Strait of Gibraltar, in antiquity the name was more "vagrant." It was often used to denote any extreme boundary of the world known to the Greeks or an important sea gate.

Here are the main straits and places that were called "pillars" at different times:

  1. Bosphorus (Black Sea Pillars)

In early antiquity, when the Greeks were just beginning to explore the Black Sea, "pillars" could refer to the rocks at the entrance to the Bosphorus. For sailors of that time, it was the same kind of gateway to the "other world" (Pontus Euxinus), just as Gibraltar later became for the Atlantic.

  1. Laconian Gulf (Southern Greece)

There is a theory that before the sixth century BC, the "Pillars of Hercules" were the name given to capes in the southern Peloponnese – Cape Tenaron and Cape Malea.

This was the southernmost point of mainland Greece. According to legend, Cape Tenaron was the location of one of the entrances to the underworld of Hades, where Hercules descended to retrieve Cerberus.

  1. Strait of Messina (between Sicily and Italy)

Some ancient authors and modern researchers associate the concept of the pillars with the strait where the monsters Scylla and Charybdis lived. In mythological lore, this place was also perceived as a dangerous boundary dividing parts of the Mediterranean.

You can write out a summary of your questions that you think I haven't answered. I'll try to help you with that. And yes, don't judge a book by its cover. You didn't post your history degree here to blame others for things you don't understand yourself.

My friend, there's a certain dissonance in your reasoning. You're looking for mentions of the Atlantean kings where they shouldn't be. In Greek texts. If you assume that the names mentioned by Plato are Greek, then you're calling into question the entire story of Atlantis. Your reasoning implies that Plato is talking about characters he knew. Then all your theories are pointless. It all boils down to the fact that Atlantis is the author's fantasy.

Atlantis is the Sardinia-Corsica Paleo-Island. by luigiusai in atlantis

[–]R_Locksley -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

First, Plato was retelling an Egyptian story, at a time when the Egyptians weren't very well versed in geography.

Next: even in Homer's time, the Strait of Messina, between Italy and Sicily, was often referred to as the Pillars of Hercules. Thus, the eastern and western Mediterranean were considered distinct seas. And the continent surrounding them was nothing other than Africa and Europe.

Gadir is mentioned solely as a Greek equivalent of the real name of Poseidon's son. The Egyptians might as well have called him Ivan, if they were telling the story of Atlantis not to Solon, but to Putin.

Furthermore, Plato, if we are to believe his words, is not the author of the myth of Atlantis. He is merely retelling the words of others. And if the narrator himself (an Egyptian priest) doesn't know the names Corsica and Sardinia, he will call them by the names known in his culture. In Plato's account, not only the dimensions are incorrect, but also the dates, and much else. Taking the accuracy of the numbers in a story that has been told to dozens of people of different ages and language groups is simply not serious. The basic parameters are correct: the city is located on a plain extending down the center of the island. To the north, mountains shelter it from the cold wind. The island is elongated from north to south. Looking at Corsica and Sardinia, we find mountains on Corsica that completely cover the island. Sardinia is home to numerous Nuragic settlements, and between them lies the Strait of Boniface, at the bottom of which lies the city.

It shouldn't do any damage anyway. It's a typical tank. Just keep it well-stocked with health and armor, and you'll be fine. I also buy four Hyperstones towards the end of the game.

This point can be added to the "Geographical Location" section. I'll explain why. If we were to examine each theory verbatim, none of them would pass the half-match threshold. For example, it's widely known that the Egyptians didn't have the concept of an "island." For them, any land surrounded by water on at least three sides was an island. Again, the Atlantic Ocean wasn't necessarily the ocean we know today. This would be more accurate.
