116. Visions of Atlantis (part II) – Michael Le Flem

This is part two of my conversation with Michael Le Flem about Atlantis. For basics about Michael and his book Visions of Atlantis, see show notes for part one (episode 114):

In this episode, we dive deeper into the details of what has been told and written about Atlantean science, technology and worldview, not least by the two unconventional sources Frederick Oliver and Edgar Cayce.

Experts have tried to debunk their methods – Cayces in particular – but it has proved to be impossible to explain how they know certain things.

We also talk about the often hollow arguments from skeptics.

Why do people find evidence for the lost civilization almost everywhere? Because Atlantis was said to have been an empire, not unlike the British empire.

Why hasn't any evidence of advanced technology been found? Because nothing advanced would survive the test of time – except stone structures, and those abound. The evidence is actually staring us in the face.

There are also fascinating similarities between languages on either side of the Atlantic.
