Matias began by explaining the origin of the word trauma, which comes from the Greek word "trauma," meaning wound.
The Philistines' connection to the island of Crete and their ties to the Greek peoples are discussed.
Many scholars agree that the Philistines and other Sea Peoples were the product of a fusion of Indo-European, Greek, and Anatolian influences.
Associated with ancient Aegean peoples, possibly originating from the Greek mainland or islands.
Sometimes linked to the Danaoi, one of the Greek tribes mentioned in Homeric epics.
According to Jon, the story of Atlantis symbolized the state of Egyptian versus Greek societies, rather than describing an actual event or location.
According to Matt, the tale begins with Solon, a Greek statesman who visited Egypt.
During his visit, Solon allegedly learned about ancient civilizations from an Egyptian elder priest named Sanus, who claimed that the Greeks only remembered one great flood but that there had been many.
First, he suggested that it served as a contrast between Greek democracy and Egyptian imperialism.
Elementals derive from ancient Greek and Roman ideas of the four classical elements, which were thought to constitute all matter.
Biglino also discusses the Greek translation of the Bible, where specific terminology suggests an increasing sound upon the arrival of Yahweh's "kavod," further solidifying his argument that these descriptions refer to technological vehicles.
In 2015, a Greek shipwreck off the coast of Sicily yielded 29 ingots made of a copper-zinc alloy.
From Plato’s description we know Solon and the priests of Egypt were not familiar with it, although they knew it “sparkled like fire.” In ancient Greek, the language of Solon, the word chalkos, which is the basis of the word orichalcum, applied to all metals, therefore orichalcum literally meant “gold metal.”
Memories of the orichalcum of Atlantis appeared 600 years before Plato’s time in the works of the Greek poet Homer, who mentions it as a golden metal in the hymn of Aphrodite.
Hesiod, another pre-Plato Greek poet (eighth to seventh century B.C.), also refers to it.
The Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic alphabets all owe their existence to the Phoenicians, as their convenient and easily adapted alphabet was spread around the Mediterranean through their trading empire.
Strabo, the Greek geographer writing in the 1st century BC, echoed Herodotus' view.
Contrary to popular belief, no significant genetic shifts were detected in the Egyptian population during 1,300 years of foreign rule, including the Greek, Roman, and Alexandrian conquests.

Hebrew Origin: From Hebrew כנען (Kənaʿan), passed through Koine Greek Χανααν and Latin Canaan.
Greek Reference: Found as "Khna" (Χνᾶ) in Hecataeus' writings (c.
Given his focus on ethnography and geography, he might have included brief observations about the inhabitants—perhaps their reputation as traders or seafarers, which would align with the later Greek understanding of the Phoenicians.
For example, Stephanus of Byzantium, a 6th-century AD lexicographer, cites Hecataeus in his Ethnica when discussing place names, and it’s through such citations that "Khna" is confirmed as an early Greek term for this region.
Ancient and modern writers attest to the presence of asphalt (Greek) and bitumen (Latin) around the Dead Sea, especially around the southern part.
Ancient nations and tribes mentioned in the Bible, detailing their historical timelines, cultural roles, and interactions with the Israelites, from the Sumerians and Akkadians to the Greeks and Romans.
Summary: The Greeks greatly influenced Western culture, philosophy, and politics, especially through the conquests of Alexander the Great.
Kedarites, Dedanites: Arabian tribes, significant in trade during the Persian and Greek periods.
Togarmah: Possibly a tribe in Anatolia, mentioned in prophetic literature, likely contemporary with the Greeks and Romans.
Belly and Thighs of Bronze: Represents the Greek Empire, established by Alexander the Great.
Mycenae was a major center of Greek civilization during the late Bronze Age and is often associated with the legendary King Agamemnon from Homer's epics.
The term "Cyclopean" derives from the later Greek belief that only the mythical Cyclopes could have moved such enormous stones.
Nimrod as a Legendary Hero: Another approach suggests that Nimrod was a legendary Mesopotamian hero, potentially Gilgamesh, Lugalbanda, or even an eponym parallel to the Greek traditions of Ninos.
Although the Book of Genesis portrays Nimrod favorably as the first post-flood king and builder of cities, the Greek Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Bible presents him as a giant and mistranslates the Hebrew phrase meaning "before Yahweh" as "in opposition against God." Consequently, Nimrod became associated with idolatry, embodying the archetypal idolater.
Greek historians of the Hellenistic period and beyond associate him with the city, but his exact identity in Assyrian records remains uncertain.
Greek tradition, as well as biblical tradition, both have mythical figures who are kings that founded and built the great Mesopotamian cities, temples, towers, etc.
He is currently known for his innovative work on the late date and Greek sources of the Hebrew Bible and on the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Ctesias, a Greek physician to the Achaemenid King Artaxerxes II, lived in the 5th century BC and wrote extensively, with one of his notable works dating around 400 BCE.
Hercules: The legendary hero of Greek mythology presents an interesting possibility as an antecedent to the character of Nimrod, especially if you factor in Gmirkin's later dating of the composition of the Pentateuch.
Below is a full translation of Revelation 18, adapted to align with the narrative of the downfall of Atlantis, while maintaining a literal approach to the original Greek text.
On Sacred Texts, his chapter on Greek gods and Atlantean kings states that Peru’s sun, moon, and planet worship “probably represents very closely the simple and primitive religion of Atlantis,” with sacrifices of fruits and flowers.
Belly and Thighs of Bronze: Represents the Greek Empire, established by Alexander the Great.
The name Athena for the goddess of Athens has roots in ancient Greek language and mythology.
Some scholars suggest that the name "Athena" might have pre-Greek origins, possibly from the Mycenaean civilization or another earlier culture.
In the Linear B script used by the Mycenaeans, the goddess appears as "A-ta-na" or "A-ta-na-po-ti-ni-ja," which means "Mistress Athena." This suggests that the name may have been adopted by the Greeks from an earlier language.
Another theory is that the name "Athena" could be derived from the Greek word "ἄστη" (ástē), meaning "city." Since Athena was the patron goddess of the city of Athens, her name might be linked to her role as a protector of the city.
The ancient Greek name for Athens, "Ἀθῆναι" (Athȇnai), is a plural toponym.
The suffix "-ene" found in Athena's name is more commonly associated with place names in ancient Greek rather than personal names, further supporting the idea that Athena's name is derived from the city.
The name "Athenai" may have Pre-Greek origins, indicated by the presence of the morpheme *-ān-.
This suggests that the name might have been influenced by the languages or cultures that existed in the region before the rise of classical Greek civilization.
In summary, Athena's name is likely derived from the city of Athens, reflecting a broader pattern in ancient Greek religion where city goddesses were often named after the cities they protected and were worshipped in.
In the Oera Linda Book, Athena (Greek: Athénè or Pallas) is not the mythical goddess born fully armed from Zeus’s head.
On her advice, they named their new citadel and settlement Athene or Athenia — from the Frisian “Âthen” or “âtha,” meaning they came or were received “as friends.” (The Greeks associated the name with Pallas, leading to Athènai.) She insisted on abolishing slavery as a foundation for true alliance and peace.
The text (and its 19th-century analysis) describes her as fair and blue-eyed, contrasting with typical Greek divine imagery.
According to the Oera Linda narrative, this real northern priestess became the prototype for the Greek virgin goddess Pallas Athena — wise, associated with the owl, crafts, and later navigation/shipbuilding.
The book suggests that many elements of emerging Greek mythology were shaped, borrowed, or distorted from these events and teachings around 1600 BCE.
Below is the original Greek text from Critias 108d-109a, along with a literal English translation.
But in the Septuagint (Greek translation) and the Dead Sea Scrolls, the wording is different:
When combining myths from various ancient traditions, such as Sumerian, Biblical, and Greek, the world before the great flood emerges as a time of extraordinary events, larger-than-life beings, and a close connection between gods and humans.
Similarly, Greek mythology speaks of the Titans, colossal beings who ruled before the Olympian gods.
The Greek gods, too, were known for their direct involvement in human activities, often coming down from Mount Olympus.
Similarly, Greek myths talk about the decline from the Golden Age to the Iron Age, where human behavior deteriorated.
The Greek gods, too, punished humanity for various transgressions, leading to disasters like the flood in the story of Deucalion.
Greek (Βαβυλών - Babylōn): As the name Bavel/Bāb-ili was adopted into Greek, it became Babylōn (Βαβυλών).
The Greeks often transliterated foreign names to fit their own phonetic and writing systems.
Latin (Babylon): The Greek Babylōn was then adopted into Latin, retaining the form Babylon.
“For,” he says, “they considered him, the lord of heaven, to be the only god and called him Beelsamen, which is ‘Lord of Heaven’ in Phoenician, Zeus in Greek.”
After these remarks, he berates the error of the Greeks and says:
“For it is not without reason that we have defined these things in many ways, but because of the later erroneous transmissions of the names related to these matters, which names the Greeks, out of ignorance, received in an improper sense, misled by the ambiguity of translation.”
He is the one whom the Egyptians called Thouth, the Alexandrians Thoth, and the Greeks Hermes.
Such are the things told about Kronos; and such are the solemn tales about the life of the contemporaries of Kronos as that is celebrated by the Greeks.
“The Greeks, who surpass all men in their natural cleverness, first appropriated most of these tales.
The one most anciently known, and also the shorter, is that which Berosus took from the sacred books of Babylon, and introduced into the history that he wrote for the use of the Greeks.
The fact that the scene of the Deluge is located on the Euphrates proves nothing, for we will see hereafter that almost every nation had its especial mountain on which, according to its traditions, the ark rested; just as every Greek tribe had its own particular mountain of Olympos.
The biblical references to islands and coastlands that could be connected to Greek mythology and the legends of Atlantis are primarily those that mention distant and possibly mythical lands.
Connection: This verse mentions Greece and "distant islands," which could be interpreted as referencing far-off, possibly mythical lands in the Greek imagination.
Connection: Rhodes is a significant location in Greek mythology, often associated with Helios, the sun god.
While not directly connected to Atlantis, Rhodes was considered one of the prominent islands of the ancient Greek world and could symbolize the far-reaching influence of ancient maritime powers, similar to the legendary Atlantis.
He references his ongoing series of videos exploring the presence of Yahweh's cult in Sardinia and the Greek islands' mystery cults.
Source: Hephaestus' forge is referenced in Homer's Iliad (Book 18, lines 369-376) where the god works beneath the earth, and in Theoi Greek Mythology: "Hephaistos, the divine blacksmith, is said to work his forge beneath Mount Etna, where the fire and smoke from the mountain's vents were believed to be evidence of his labor" (Theoi Greek Mythology).
The wealth from these mines played a significant role in the rise of Macedonia, which is echoed in Greek legends.
Significance: Tartarus, the deep abyss in Greek mythology, was sometimes depicted as a place where precious metals were mined by the souls of the damned.
In Greek mythology, Mount Tmolus is personified as the god Tmolus, a mountain god and the son of Ares, the god of war, and Theogone.
Mount Tmolus was also associated with the worship of Cybele, the Phrygian mother goddess who was later assimilated into Greek and Roman mythology.
Mount Othrys holds a crucial place in Greek mythology as the stronghold of the Titans during the Titanomachy, the epic battle between the Titans and the Olympian gods.
This battle was a defining moment in Greek mythology, marking the overthrow of the old gods and the rise of the Olympians.
