And no have not read any of those books

Fascinating stuff, I only got into it this year. Feel free to share resources or books.

Hopefully we can start building this lost knowledge and piece things together. I think Nostr will have a role to play as it make information even more modular and networked than the internet.

Have a read of the Book of Enoch. The dimensions almost always are mangled in the long time these stories lived only as oral stories, no matter how fastidious the culture was about retaining their correctness. Humans mostly live around 100 years, at best.

The other point is that the volcanoes in the Atlantic, such as this one on Madeira and the ones on the Canaries and so on... aren't that old. Not old enough that weathering could so completely erode them down like we see with Richat.

You really need to see real life young volcanic land to understand just how much older a place that had its geometry defined by an ancient volcano must be than anything in the atlantic.

The entire ocean of this planet is only 200 million years old, or so. The land is much older. There MUST have been a time when this planet was land with only rivers and lakes breaking up the monotony of the variously aged stone of fresh and very old volcanic crystallization.

I'm fascinated that so many y'all are getting into this stuff now. My intuition is that this is all very very relevant and that what caused the Great Flood is about to return.

Btw, the evidence of Plovdiv goes back to 6500 years ago. And there is also the Magura Caves and honestly, you have to see the massive stone structures around Belogradchik. IMO it's artificial stone, made by the Atlanteans. I've seen close up photos of it and there was clearly aggregation of old, rounded river stone in the middle of supposedly granite rock formations! Never got the chance to actually see it for myself apart from on the train to Vidim tho.

It's the Richat Structure lol. Totally makes sense they built concentric ringed canals on top of a natural formation from an ancient volcano. There isn't that many of these in the world. I dunno if you have read "The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya" but the big picture they paint in that book really convinced me.

Their thesis is based on the geological history involving the cold period known as the Dryas that led to the Stone Age, about 12000 years ago. Their hypothesis was that it was triggered by a massive meteor storm that struck the earth across north america, the atlantic and europe, up to the Black Sea. (btw, there's good reason to believe that Noah lived in what is now Bulgaria and his boat floated into the black sea and out into the greek archipelago).

It goes further also, and says that they predicted the coming of the storm and relocated their settlement to what is modern Egypt, amongst other things building the great pyramids and the Sphinx, and the egyptians of modern times were mostly descendants of peoples who discovered the abandoned structures after the Atlanteans took off in the direction of the Taurus constellation, specifically the legendary Pleiades.

Tartarus is underneath Tenerife tho. The name itself kinda hints at it, ten- as in tension, peniTENt, and now I am in portuguese speaking land, the word for "hold" or "have" is also related to this root. I kinda didn't realise just how much influence Latin had on Bulgarian quite until I started to learn a bit of Portuguese. The grammar of the two languages is very very close. I always thought the phonetics were connected, the portuguese love the SH consonant a lot, just like the slavs, though they use it mostly for plurals.

Also, Madeira was known by the ancient greeks as "The Blessed Isles" and its only downside was the rough coastline which apparently was seen to have whales dashed on it by the ancient greeks.

Having spent some time around the coast of this island I can understand. It's a meatgrinder of a coastline. Really young. Mostly still pretty much sharp stones. The chinese shop in Santa Cruz had beach rock protection shoes pretty much right at the front of their showroom. I got a pair, they are essential if you wade into the beaches. The sea is intense, to be honest, you have to be really strong swimmer to go out there in most parts, it's not gentle. Not intense, most of the time, but rarely still enough that you can chill, and absolutely zero natural sandy beaches.

Anyhow, there's my crazy piece on it.

I'm sure the Azores are important in some way to this whole story, but they are the upper edge of the cluster of islands that goes down through Madeira, the Canaries and Cape Verde. The climate there is very suitable for cows. The land is substantially older than here in Madeira, and as such a lot more plains land that you can grow grass on.

Atlantis speculation is fun.

It’s also wild that aboriginal stories exist about the flooding that happened circa 15,000 years ago with the meltwater pulse of the last ice age.

Neolithic history had to put up with climate change that was an entire order of magnitude more dramatic than anything we are worried about, as Europe and North America shed enormous land ice sheets that were miles thick.

Richat is interesting but randall makes a good case that it’s a volcanic formation of some kind, if i am remembering correctly.

Nope, the richat structure was orders of magnitude bigger.

Following Plato’s description faithfully leads to the same conclusions geologists are coming up with: there was a large island continent in the Atlantic that sank around 12,000 years ago.

I believe the real Atlantis wasn't far from here. Built into the Richat Structure. According to Plato's descriptions, it lines up pretty much spot on.

What if all of the VPN providers are secretly run by government entities and instead of helping to secure our data, we are just dropping it all into a funnel directly to them?

I am now a freelance bitcoin journalist, content creator and MC.

I stepped back from Cointelegraph as an employee on Monday.

Feels really really good.

I’ll earn less but it’s hopefully worth it.

I will still share content on their platform at times as I believe it’s worthwhile getting bitcoin only content on the largest crypto000 platform.

However, all documentaries, longer videos and educational/how to content will be published on my channels including Youtube.

Naturally I will be reaching out to sponsors. They must be bitcoin-first companies as well as products or services that I use on a day to day basis.

I’m also going to try to crack TikTok. I want to reach more normies in 2024.

Thank you for your support, Nostr frens.

You’ve been an important space for me to vent my frustration over the past year.

Ultimately, Nostr has helped me arrive at this decision.

Cheers to you all 💜

No. Musk has added nothing and everything worth anything is here.

He has slowly, and selectively reduced the crap things about Twitter. I don't trust him. He smells like a cantillionaire. Same as Trump.

@jack is a separate issue. He was instrumental to how Twitter got big enough to coopt. He is not on the gravy train. Musk is. Trump is. Even Jones is riding some gravy since a decade. Ironic he coined "controlled opposition". Probably got that from the CIA anyway.
