Book Synopsis ATLANTIS – AN AEGEAN ISLAND by : Elias Stergakos
Download or read book ATLANTIS – AN AEGEAN ISLAND written by Elias Stergakos and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-07-30 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the summer of 2012 I visited the Aegean island of Santorini. Its awe inspiring topography, peculiar geology, volcanic nature and proximity to Athens caused me to think of Plato’s reference to Atlantis in his dialogues Timaios and Kritias which I had read more than once in the past. After spending many hours at the museum in Fira, the island’s capital, as well at Akrotiri, the uncovered bronze- age settlement on the island, and after seen all the impressive exhibits there, I decided that I should do a thorough research on the legend of Atlantis. The result of that research is the present book whose conclusions are based on Plato’s texts in conjunction with geographical, geological and archeological data. This book is devoted to all those who look for the discovery of truth through logical reasoning and tangible evidence.

Book Synopsis Atlantis Destroyed by : Rodney Castleden
Download or read book Atlantis Destroyed written by Rodney Castleden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-04 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plato's legend of Atlantis has become notorious among scholars as the absurdest lie in literature. Atlantis Destroyed explores the possibility that the account given by Plato is historically true. Rodney Castleden first considers the location of Atlantis re-examining two suggestions put forward in the early twentieth century; Minoan Crete and Minoan Thera. He outlines the latest research findings on Knossos and Bronze Age Thera, discussing the material culture, trade empire and agricultural system, writing and wall paintings, art, religion and society of the Minoan civilization. Castleden demonstrates the many parallels between Plato's narrative and the Minoan Civilization in the Aegean. Fired by the imagination a new vision of Atlantis has arisen over the last one hundred and fifty years as a lost utopia. Rodney Castleden discusses why this picture arose and xplains how it has become confused with Plato's genuine account.

Book excerpt: Nearly 2,400 years ago, ancient philosopher Plato wrote the story of Atlantis, a compelling tale of an 11,000-year-old island civilization which has since captivated the imagination of poets, authors, and the minds of many scholars who over the centuries kept on searching for the legendary island. Today, numerous speculations place Atlantis in locations like the Azores Islands in the middle of the Atlantic, in Spain, somewhere off the coast of southeastern Cyprus, in Malta, or in more exotic lo

Book Synopsis Science and Technology in Homeric Epics by : S. A. Paipetis
Download or read book Science and Technology in Homeric Epics written by S. A. Paipetis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-10-20 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Homeric Epics, important references to specific autonomous systems and mechanisms of very advanced technology, such as automata and artificial intelligence, as well as to almost modern methods of design and production are included. Even if those features of Homeric science were just poetic concepts (which on many occasions does not explain the astonishing details of design and manufacture, like the ones included in the present volume), they seem to prove that these achievements were well within human capability. In addition, the substantial development of machine theory during the early post-Homeric age shows that the Homeric descriptions were a kind of prophetic conception of these machines, and scientific research must be a quest for the fundamental principles of knowledge available during the Late Bronze Age and the dawn of the Iron Age. Such investigations must of necessity be strongly interdisciplinary and also proceed continuously in time, since, as science progresses, new elements of knowledge are discovered in the Homeric Epics, amenable to scientific analysis. This book brings together papers presented at the international symposium Science and Technology in Homeric Epics, which took place at Ancient Olympia in 2006. It includes a total of 41 contributions, mostly original research papers, covering diverse fields of science and technology, in the modern sense of these words.

Download or read book Atlantis written by Joseph Daniel Brady and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under a man-made lake on an Aegean Isle, we see the back cover photo of a sculptured message. This is Atlantis' treasury location. Over 30 enclosed satellite photos of this location are no longer available via satellite. In 2013, someone terminated the satellite feed and desecrated the site by painting it with earth tone colors. Greek historian Pliny and Hebrew prophets Ezekiel and Zechariah describe Atlantis' surviving-treasury like 'Fort Knox on Steroids.' Who is salvaging the Atlantis Treasury hoard? Poseidon named it the Atlantic Island; Homer, Pausanias and the Greeks called it Chryse; Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Zechariah called it Tyrus; Socrates told Plato, who wrote the story, calling it ATLANTIS. Plato gives us the location: ..".for this sea which is within the straits of Heracles is only a harbor, having a narrow entrance...," and ..".the sea in those parts is impassable and impenetrable, because there is a shoal of mud in the way; and this was caused by the subsidence of the island." The harbor was filled in by the subsidence of the island. Find the harbor, and we have found Atlantis. Mystery solved! Now we understand the whole story. Under the subsidence of the island is a second treasury, containing many of the gold statues and artifacts that were on the surface of Atlantis, created by earthquakes and tsunamis that hit it. History says this treasury location is virgin territory for archaeologists. An immediate investigation of this site needs to be conducted. Atlantis was only a part of a larger network of civilizations controlling trade and wealth in the Mediterranean from 1500 BC to 500 BC. Sea trade was dominant and Atlantis was right in the middle of it. Evidence reveals that the 'Sea People' invasions and conquest of Mediterranean civilizations was carried out by this network. Dates and a list of these invasions are in the book. The greed and lust for wealth by this network eventually focused upon Jerusalem. In 924 BC, Egyptian Pharaoh Shishak, with partners, invaded Israel taking all from Jerusalem's temple, including the Ark of the Covenant. The evidence points its bony finger at Atlantis' treasury location, on this Aegean Isle, as the resting place for the Ark. The evidence reveals members of this network worked together to conquer and seize assets, and that they constructed 4 underground treasuries. The location of these undiscovered sites are documented, along with available photos. Over 100 photographs are in the book. Evidence also points to One of the Seven Sages of Greece as the original visitor and author of Platos' story of Atlantis. He was a Phoenician, an astronomer, a mathematician and was an associate of Solon and the Egyptian priest that initiated Platos' dialogues of Timaeus and Critias. He was trusted and esteemed by the king of Atlantis, who showed him inside the 'off limits' temple of Poseidon. The evidence for this book generates from the first hand manuscripts of ancient Mediterranean historians and geographers, as well as the ancient Hebrew prophets. By carefully piecing together their information, we have assembled an accurate picture of events occurring at that time in the Mediterranean. The location and history of the Island of Atlantis are documented, in this text, to a certainty beyond a reasonable doubt. The evidence uncovered and assembled is crystal clear. The clouded mystery of Atlantis has finally been solved by the texts of the ancient writers, combined with modern day investigative technology. The mystery is now the biography of Atlantis. Enjoy the book.

Book Synopsis Imagining Atlantis by : Richard Ellis
Download or read book Imagining Atlantis written by Richard Ellis and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-01-11 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since Plato created the legend of the lost island of Atlantis, it has maintained a uniquely strong grip on the human imagination. For two and a half millennia, the story of the city and its catastrophic downfall has inspired people--from Francis Bacon to Jules Verne to Jacques Cousteau--to speculate on the island's origins, nature, and location, and sometimes even to search for its physical remains. It has endured as a part of the mythology of many different cultures, yet there is no indisputable evidence, let alone proof, that Atlantis ever existed. What, then, accounts for its seemingly inexhaustible appeal? Richard Ellis plunges into this rich topic, investigating the roots of the legend and following its various manifestations into the present. He begins with the story's origins. Did it arise from a common prehistorical myth? Was it a historical remnant of a lost city of pre-Columbians or ancient Egyptians? Was Atlantis an extraterrestrial colony? Ellis sifts through the "scientific" evidence marshaled to "prove" these theories, and describes the mystical and spiritual significance that has accrued to them over the centuries. He goes on to explore the possibility that the fable of Atlantis was inspired by a conflation of the high culture of Minoan Crete with the destruction wrought on the Aegean world by the cataclysmic eruption, around 1500 b.c., of the volcanic island of Thera (or Santorini). A fascinating historical and archaeological detective story, Imagining Atlantis is a valuable addition to the literature on this essential aspect of our mythohistory.

Book Synopsis A Philosophical Daybook by : William H. Poteat
Download or read book A Philosophical Daybook written by William H. Poteat and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the invention and dissemination of alphabetic literacy some twenty-six hundred years ago that produced the Enlightenment that became our philosophical tradition. Descartes consolidated in his mind-body dualism the values and images of literacy that Western intellectuals embraced. But literacy was not without price, according to William H. Poteat: in a world of printed words and discarnate readers, nihilism and cultural insanity reign. Poteat strikes through the veil of our literate imaginations to an archaic but still active reality that antedates literacy--the intractable and substantial actuality of the lively words we speak and hear spoken. In the medium of printed words he seeks the philosophic import of our ongoing oral/aural life, which has been obscured and denigrated by the images and values we have learned as readers. By every available rhetorical strategy, therefore, this must be an anti-book. It must strive to defeat our centuries-old habituation to the book as spectacle, in order that we may be brought to dwell in the immediacies of our lively selves in the world, as we do in our oral/aural life. A Philosophical Daybook: Post-Critical Investigations sets out to induce a radical and irreversible transformation in the way we apprehend the world and our being in it. With journal entries written over fifteen months, Poteat attempts the impossible. In a world threatened by our own false conception of our nature and our place in the world, Poteat--by a feat of philosophical archaeology--seeks, still intact within ourselves, the ground for a new philosophy of the human.
