It's kind of like how retarded dinosaurs would still rule the earth if a meteor hadn't hit the earth during a period of catastrophic volcanism and wiped them all out. Stability never produces great leaps forward. This is why I voted for president Donald Trump of the United States of America. See you all on the other side

Blue Star posted:From what I know, Atlantis isnt something that anyone really believed in. Even at the time, it was just an allegory that Plato came up with and everyone knew it. I think he was using it as a device to contrast with his idea of a perfect Athens. Like, Atlantis was super advanced and powerful but they werent virtuous like the Athenians were, and the Athenians end up defeating them because the gods are on their side, so Atlantis sinks beneath the waves. All of the thinkers and philosophers knew that Atlantis was just something Plato came up with, all through the Roman Empire and the Middle Ages. Im not sure when that changed but I think in the 19th century, when archeology was starting to become a thing, less knowledgeable folks started to make poo poo up about how Atlantis was totally real and Atlanteans founded the Mayans, the Egyptians, Mesopotamians, etc. and they had psychic spiritual powers. But that all came from "modern" people, not ancient times. You're disregarding the illiterate 99.9% of the ancient for whom all the old myths were just the oral history of humanity and who would have found a lost civilization of Supermen sunk into the ocean for defying the gods to be more or less par for the course

Speleothing posted:Or finding dinosaur fossils and assuming that somebody must have killed it. Nevermind the bones of sabertooth tigers, mammoths, direwolves and cave bears that were only recently extinct. it's just common sense that a cave full of neolothic monster bones would be inhabited by an even bigger monster iirc nile crocodiles used to get all up around the mediterranean as well poverty goat fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Oct 24, 2017 |
