Join us as we explore the fascinating origins of the Atlantis legend through Plato's dialogues Timaeus and Critias. This episode delves into the tale of a powerful island civilization blessed by Poseidon himself, examining its divine origins, remarkable achievements, and ultimate downfall. We analyze whether Plato intended this as historical fact or philosophical allegory, exploring the detailed descriptions of Atlantis's concentric rings, magnificent temples, and complex society. From the Egyptian priests who first shared the tale with Solon to its enduring influence on world culture, discover how this ancient story continues to captivate our imagination and serve as a powerful reminder about the rise and fall of civilizations.
