How is it possible every nation in the Antarctic treaty has held up their end of the deal? No oil exploration? Nothing? Seriously? Why does John Kerry keep going there? He may be a Globalist climate radical, but seriously? He's not a scientist! Why is every thing these people have done exactly like Nazis? Even down to medical experimentation?Where did those 43,000 german women who were shipped to Antarctica at the end of WWII go? Is it possible we are actually dealing with the 4th Reich? Did Nazis really escape to Antarctica? Why can't a plane traverse it? Why are all plane paths set to completely avoid it? Environmental reasons? For real? If you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you! What is our reality? WHO or WHAT is in Antarctica?

I could talk about that all day. He has some good info but also leaves out a lot of important context. For example, he quotes Plato when talking about where Atlantis might have been, but he fails to quote Plato saying that Atlantis was an island kingdom consisting of 10 islands that stretched from the west coast of Africa to Egypt. To me, that's a pretty big clue to leave out. I think he's just in the early stages of learning about this stuff. I wrote a paper in college about the Eye of the Sahara about a year before Bright Insight ever put out a video about it. It's gaining popularity finally.
That’s interesting, I appreciate the info! Got any good articles or links to send my way? I love learning about this kind of stuff and I’m open to any ideas.
What are you interested in? I could send you plenty of stuff.
Anything on Atlantis and pre-cataclysm civilizations ;)
If you haven't seen any of Graham Hancock or Randall Carlson, here's every Joe Rogan Podcast they did. I'd start here if you're not too familiar with their work:

Atlantis is mentioned at certain points in these podcasts, but it's never really the focus. For that, I'd start with Plato. Grab a copy of Plato's "Timaeus" and "Critias" to see exactly what he said about it all. The main point to take home is that he leads the story by saying it's not a story at all, but rather an event that took place around 9,000 years before Solon's time (roughly 9,600 BC). Solon was a famous Greek lawman to whom the story was originally told by Egyptian priests, then passed down to Plato.
In the mid 1980's there was a guy who claimed he found Atlantis. The story appeared on national news (ABC or CBS) and it showed video of a man made rectangular structure underwater in the middle of the Mediterranean (closer to Agean) roughly 200' below the surface.
Of course, it could not be confirmed as the actual city Atlantis. But it was definitely a man made stone structure, roughly the size of a football field, and underwater imaging was able to see it clearly. Long story short- I've never seen, nor heard a single thing about that guy, nor what that rectangle structure is to this day. And I have looked for info about it too.
to that point, the word "Island" is a mistranslation, the original word used to mean much more than just that, he pointed that out in his most recent "Secret Files on The Eye of The Sahara" video.
if that was your only big counterpoint, you might want to reconsider it. (also, supposed Atlantean mythological names were/are popular in the western sahara region, and actually name some of them.
I just did a German to English translation of inselberg and it says "island mountain". That is far from my only counterpoint. I just found it interesting. Are you familiar with an atlas? Mercator published the first atlas in the 16th century, and in the first pages of it he explains why he named it atlas. He said it was to commemorate the first king of Libya who was named Atlas, a man that "taught" civilization to the people. He also drew a very detailed family tree titled "Stemma Atlantis" that names the kings of each island and their children. I have a hard time believing Atlantis didn't exist when such a text exists in the Library of Congress today. Here's the original. Download this and turn to page 14-15:

oh, i didn't mean our current translation, but the actual translation of the word Plato himself used to describe it, and people translated it as an island.
quotes from the Bright Insight video: (a bit past the 30 minute mark)
"He used the Greek words for island, namely 'nesos' and "neson' "
"Gilles le Noan, quoted by Papamarinopoulos, has offered evidence that there was no differentiation in greek between 'island' and 'peninsula' until the time of Herodotus in the 5th century BC, In a conversation with Mark Adams he explains that in the sixth century BC, when Solon lived, nesos had five geographic meanings. "One, and island as we know it. Two, a promontory. Three, a penunsula. Four, a coast. Five, a land within a continent, surrounded by lakes, rivers or springs." "
I Believe no further explanation is needed on this point, but yes, the thing about "first king of Lybia" is a good point, but people usually ignore it.
Jimmy points it (plus MULTIPLE other cases like this, of kings and queens in western africa) in his video.
Go watch it, its worth it. https://youtu.be/r9Gj_6dmNcM
But its good seeing someone like-minded here, its kinda hard to find people who know the work of Randall and Graham (even tho Graham is a bit crazy, his rights far outweigh his wrongs, not saying i dont like him, because i do).
Now I understand what you meant. I've seen all the Bright Insight videos about this, and you're right, he does say that the word used to mean several things. All of those definitions could be describing Atlantis though.
