I started this episode wanting to talk about the Red Island by Cadiz Spain and possibly even the mud flats but I became distracted. Dating the Atlantean war always nags at the back of my head. I started this episode with reading some of Plato and explaining what he means. Then I fell down a rabbithole. I kept everything so you can hear my thought process as I worked out the mystery of the time of the Atlantean war. I can’t believe that I have read over the Critias and Timaeus so many times and missed a very important sentence that actually tells us when this war happened.
I have bounced around different time frames such as after the Trojan war with the invasion of the sea peoples. I have argued that the war happened as early as 600 BCE. I have held strong on not being during the stone age and most definitely not a comet or meteor impact.
As soon as I am done writing this episode, I will go down the Cecrops rabbit hole and hopefully, I come out sane on the other side. These rabbit holes are dangerous to your mental health. I am honestly surprised that I haven’t been committed yet to treat this unhealthy obsession that I have with Atlantis.
This episode focuses on the Critias and the land that is now known as Athens when they first engaged in war. It is a wide ride and I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed finally cracking the case of the time of the war.
As usual, my sources are linked in my episode description.
