Jack Kelley is a lifelong student of the ancient philosophers and the director of a new documentary called The Atlantis Puzzle. In his film, Jack searches for answers about the fabled Atlantis by reviewing just what Plato said about the lost city in conjunction with modern geology and archeology. We discuss the contents of Plato's Timaeus, the problems with pop culture Atlantis stories, the Platonic contemplation of a perfect society, and his co-star George Sarantitis' Methodology of Mythology.
In the Plus+ Extension we go deeper into the possible locations for Atlantis, the importance of specific syntax with ancient authors, the mysterious Richat Structure of Mauritania, questions about our current quality of life vs. the ancient world, a profound examination of Platonic philosophy, the value of the cosmological monomyth, the how and why of esoteric and exoteric teachings, the secret identity of Homer, and much more.
