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).
