EP. # 1285 Atlantis Discovery: The Mistranslated Continent
For 2,400 years we’ve searched the wrong ocean. Filmmaker Jack Kelley reveals that Plato’s Atlantis never sank beneath the Atlantic; deliberate mistranslations turned an inland African metropolis into a maritime myth. Working from the original Greek of Timaeus and Critias, Kelley and engineer George Sarantitis relocate the lost capital to the prehistoric Green Sahara, when lakes were seas and deserts bloomed. Half-million-year-old Zambian beams, 130,000-year-old Cretan seafaring, transcontinental Stone Age trade routes: the evidence is overwhelming. Atlantis wasn’t fantasy. It was history—hidden in plain text, waiting for someone brave enough to read Plato correctly.
GUEST: Jack Kelley is the Yale-educated filmmaker and author of The Atlantis Puzzle documentary and book. By partnering with Greek engineer George Sarantitis and returning to Plato’s unfiltered Greek, he overturned two millennia of scholarly error, proving Atlantis was a real Bronze-Age power drowned by climate shift in North Africa, not by Poseidon’s wrath. Methodical, unflinching, and allergic to mysticism, Kelley doesn’t chase legends—he corrects the record.
