Plato & Siculus
We all know who Plato was but who is this Siculus guy? Diodorus Siculus was a Greek historian who flourished in the 1st century BC. He was born at Agyrium in Sicily (now called Agira). With but one exception, antiquity affords no further information about Diodorus' life. Jerome writes that Diodorus, a writer of Greek history, became illustrious. But there's one thing that they have in common that I want add. Â
I am sure that in the years ahead we will unearth further texts and information that will tell us more about the history of the earth, how we got here (chronologically), and a filling in some of the blanks of historical civilizations. Like did Atlantis really exist? Was Atlantis established by Lemuria, etc.
Most historians try to limit all known hitorical information about Atlantis to Plato. Not so!
Diodorus Siculus had much to say about Atlantis and particularly about the Amazons, Gorgons, and Queen Merine (it's spelled correctly). While many historians want to write off much of Siculus's writings as purely mythical, Herodotus supported Siculus. Herodotus felt like the myths of the Amazons, and warrior women represented historical fact.
In fact, three mounds (graves) which myth has held that Quen Merine buried her fallen warriors exists today. The import that all of this has is because of how the Amazons and Queen Merine is attached to Atlantean history. Even Plato's own account gives credence to much of Siculus' writings. We can deny the geological, historical, and mythical acoounts of Alantis, its founding by Lemuria, and pretend that carbon dating lies.
We can also deny the future and what some (or all) of the 2012 prognostications by scientists are predicting.
Denial is more than just a river in Egypt, it's an attitude that does not serve us very well.
