Great post.
Its funny... Every time I posted anything In "ancient and lost..." or anything related to KMT(Egypt), we would always end up arguing. I have been called a fringe, a liar because I don't have any stones in my back pocket, and whatever it is you kids call people today, just for trying to present this same information( like the golden number, 10xpi,distance to the sun.... and all of the other mysteries, solved and unsolved.
Its funny to see you guys catch up . Next you guys will make the connection between Ancient KMT and tesla and we can have a new discussion.
Great post, and I haven't been on in awhile but your pic is different!?!
I may post a more meaningful response later. I have to go collect my rent on RC.
Peace to all

Just finished it. Definitely some interesting information, much of which I've discussed on ATS at one point or another. But it was nice to have it all in one comprehensive video.
There clearly is something missing that we haven't figured out. What was the obsession with the equinoxes across the different ancient cultures that inspired them to work with stone in the manner they did? And how did they even comprehend an equinox?
I think that the Ancient Egyptians were the most skilled, intelligent, and mysterious civilization to have ever existed. I do believe the Ancient Greeks got much of their knowledge from them, which was the influence for what's become the basis of western knowledge in the sciences, mathematics, philosophy, and perhaps even religion. I'm also of the opinion that Ancient Egypt was the actual so called "Atlantis" that Plato first spoke of. Plato was known to be the originator of the legend of the advanced city, and curiously enough he was also known to have spent some considerable time in Egypt. It makes me wonder if Egypt did in fact inspire the legend of Atlantis.
The Ancient Egyptians possessed incredible knowledge and to me were more advanced that any other civilization of that time. They had a keen understanding of engineering, astronomy, geology, mathematics, physiology et al. They also were obsessed with the afterlife which seems to be the driver of some of the most epic engineering feats that still mystify to this day.
Given this I have to wonder about a couple of things...
If religion and science could coexist back then without issue, then why not now?
And perhaps most intriguing to me, is if the Ancient Egyptians knew so much about the sciences, arts, mathematics etc; all of which we can arguably say they were probably the best ever at ... What did they know and understand about the human soul and the afterlife?edit on 13-2-2014 by PhotonEffect because: (no reason given)

I had wondered about several societies that must have traded or knowledge about Atlantis, however I think Plato was well travelled and would have said Atlantis was in Egypt had it have been. Also he talks about it being the other side of the Straits of Gibralta as they are known today. Interestingly near the Azores we have a 'T' junction of tectonic plates and I suspect that that was where Atlantis was. If you add into the equation the huge rise in sea levels to possible earthquakes due to these plates with Atlantis on top then we can easily understand why it toppled and how far down its remains would be under the Atlantic ocean.
The highly influential ancient Greek philosopher Plato wrote in the year 360 BC about Atlantis in his dialogues "Timaeus" and "Critias." In these dialogues it was told by the character Critias that his grandfather heard about the story of Atlantis hundred years ago from Solon, a well-known Athenian poet and politician. Solon heard about the story during his stay in Egypt in 565 BC. The name "Atlantis" (and also the other names he mentions in regards to Atlantis) is actually a Greek translation of the Egyptian name to maintain the original meaning of the actual name, because the Egyptian name would also have been a translation to the ancient Egyptian language. It is however unknown by which name Atlantis would have been known by the ancient Egyptians.
I suspect that science and religion existed happily together because their religion was cosmos based and their Gods and Godesses related to the heavens. It was only when God suddenly became Father with people being his children that he was made so personal and like us that suddenly the link to the cosmos, apart from heaven being up there somewhere had to be stopped to help with people's perception of a personal God in whose image they were made.
Egyptian religion was closely tied to their cosmology. Which again, makes me wonder how they arrived at their deep beliefs of an afterlife.
