A Submarine Captain Figures Out Atlantis

Nobody Remembers

What happens if you’re not a historian, but you come up with a theory in history that nobody has thought of? Sometimes in history you find out years after the fact, that what all scholars believed was true, was in fact, NOT the real history.

Well, that’s what Gavin Menzies has discovered…a theory of what Stonehenge was all about, and what it’s real purpose was, and Nobody Thinks what he says makes pretty good common sense.Minoan Atlantis

First a little background on Gavin. He served in the Royal Navy for two decades, becoming a submarine captain, and so it was his love of the sea that sparked the theory that Stonehenge was not designed by some witty Druids, but by a seafaring group of Greeks called the Minoans. According to his research the Minoans were building palaces with paved streets, baths and functioning sewers long before Athens was at its height of glory.

(Gavin also portends that the Chinese had circumnavigated the globe a century before Magellan. They discovered America, and had reached  Australia 350 years before Britain’s Captain Cook, but that’s another book.)

These energetic people of Crete, were, according to Gavin, the greatest boatman and sailors in western history, and they had harbors all up and down the sea coasts all the way up to England.  Homer describes Crete providing 80 sips from seven ports of the Trojan War.Crete

Gavin claims that they invented writing, before the Egyptians, in fact as proof of them trading with the Egyptians, the Minoans are pictured in Egyptian paintings. He also quotes many a famous Greek historian as to their gifts to the world.

“Minos was the first person to organize a navy that controlled the great part of what is now called the Hellenic Sea.”

And then they went on to perfecting bronze. Herodotus talks about the “men of bronze who sold their fighting skills to the pharaohs of Egypt.”

Gavin explains that since the two elements that make up bronze; tin and copper, are not usually found in the same place, the Minoans went sailing to find the best supply, so therefore it was not coincidence that among all the Stone formations in Europe, close by them all, are mines of tin or copper.

Crete the birthplace of Minoan and the lynchpin of the Bronze Age had no copper in usable amounts, so they learn how to built fantastic boats. Gavin knows a good boat, and he thought their boats could have even sailed to Lake Superior. stonehenge

But, a good sailor needs a good compass, and that’s what all those stone formations all over Europe were really for: reading the stars.

“The Minoans needed to read the stars without that they couldn’t navigate. Astronomic stone circles could have been used to determine latitude and longitude and the dates of the equinoxes and to predict the position of the sun and the moon and their eclipses way into the future.”

So there you have it. These guys were going from country to country, picking up tin and bronze, trading in ivory, and amber, and other fun stuff, and then reading the ‘stones’ to know how to navigate home.

Makes sense to me. Why else would someone drag all those big stones for no other reason than to just have ceremonies?

Gavin backs up his claims that the Minoans were the true Atlantis’ in his book “The Lost Empire of Atlantis.”

But if you are looking for a fairy tale, you won’t find it in Gavin’s book. Just a curious submarine captain, who did a lot of research, and came up with some very sound speculation. Hey, I’m convinced. I can’t wait to read his theory on who really built the Pyramids. Gavin Menzies

The Lessons From Atlantis

Nobody’s Opinion:

Here’s a video that was emailed to me that I haven’t seen, and unless you have nothing to do but sit around and watch C-Span all day, you didn’t see this either. It’s nothing new under the sun…the bankers and the top leaders of our government (let’s not forget the Brussels people) have been having secret meetings for years now. It’s chess on a global scale, and it’s not reported, but it’s a class of the .01 percent of the powerful who have gotten together to put in process certain scenarios to get the results that we have seen happen since 2008. The global crash, was caused by what Daniel Hannon would call “crony capitalism” and the rest of us call theft.  They got very rich, and gave themselves huge amounts of money, while the rest of the world collapsed.

It’s the reason we see riots everywhere. The leaders of all nations: from the Wall Street Boys, to our own billionaire Congress, to the Saudi Kings of Arabia, to the Queen herself…the gold halls of Atlantis, for all it’s value, could not compete with this small group of..around 400 people.

As the people struggle, the rich have lost all morality.

As I was watching this video, I couldn’t help but think of what Plato wrote about the ‘lost’ city of Atlantis.

Whenever you hear about “Atlantis” you hear mostly about how “wise” etc. the place was. But according to Plato, Atlantis was known first and foremost for it’s spectatcular wealth. The buildings were all of gold, ivory, silver, laced with beautiful marbles beyond imagination. And every five or six years, the King and the princes of nine districts, would meet and for the most part…ruled well.

(Probably because they ONLY GOT TOGETHER EVERY SIX YEARS!)

Atlantis and its people lived in harmony. They had beautiful gardens, and mansions, and just about as much gold as you could imagine. And then it happened: at the height of its glory, the rich got…greedier.

 “Then above all they appeared to be superlatively fair and blessed yet they were filled with lawless ambition and power. The portion of divinity within them was now becoming faint and weak. They were unable to bear the burden of their possessions and had lost their virtue. The wealth they possessed was so immense that the like that never been seen before in any royal house nor will ever easily be seen again.”

According to Plato, Zeus got angry…and caused earthquakes, floods, and tsunami’s’ to sink the whole island.

What would Plato say today I wonder?

If history repeats itself, then Atlantis will be destroyed. The rich will go down with the poor.

Now, you have to ask yourself: Did Plato make up this little island of wealth to teach some kind of morality lesson to the rich lords of his own age? Was this a “fable” handed down as a lesson of what happens when too many people get greedy and destroy the rest of the people?

Or was Atlantis…real? Nobody Knows.

According to THIS guy. It’s still here. And isn’t it funny, that when you hear about the lost city of Atlantis, you never hear about the “lawless ambition and power” of its rulers?

Something tells me…in the future, our own ambitoous and greedy rulers of the world, will write their own histroy (as they are doing now) and that bit of information, about how a mere handful of people who ruled the world, got very greedy and helped destory the once great wealth of many… will be lost to future generations, just as surely, as the story of the lost city of Atlantis.

In the future, it will be told to little children, that once upon a time: a great civilization lived where all the men and leaders were wise.
