Plato Predicted the End of Our Civilization

The important takeaway points from what Randall Carlson is quoting from Plato is that there is a cycle of great natural disasters that periodically wreck the world with fire and water. The sun seems to move around the sky erratically and the world burns.

Plato, and the Egyptian priests he quotes, retell a myth – which they point out is not just myth, about the sun-god’s chariot being borrowed by his mortal son – who can’t control it. Plato, and the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, describe the story of Phaethon as a preface to the story of the destruction of Atlantis.

Ben Davidson would re-frame this narrative of destruction by fire and water as a story about a solar micronova and a pole shift. Not everyone is convinced there is a solar outburst burning half the world; some blame comets and other cosmic causes. But there is no doubt about catastrophic pole shifts; the evidence of huge tsunamis, climate change (from latitude change) and mass extinctions is too extensive.
