It evolves into our modern-day mythology, right?

Yeah.

So most people think maybe it was out here or maybe it was somewhere here in Africa and that the Atlanteans built all of the major ancient structures you see around the world, like the stuff down in Cusco and some stuff that you see out in Asia, whatever, whatever.

Now, what Atlantis really was, it was... I was going to make a joke.

So what Atlantis... Just make it, make it.

No, no, no.

We can cut it.

Oh, I was just going to say nothing.

Did you piss a lot of people off?

No, it just sounded funny, but yeah, I didn't want to like... Insult the Atlantis conspiracy theorist.

So anyways, no, it wasn't actually nothing.

I mean, you know, so Plato, his writings, you have to, you really kind of need to be a historian to sort of interpret what Plato is saying or...

The context with which he's saying it is so important.

So Plato is an Athenian that lives in the late 400s, early 300s BC.

I believe that's right.

He was one of these young kids that was influenced by, or younger people that was influenced by the teachings of Socrates.

But Socrates did not write down his teachings.

He just spoke to people in the marketplace.

One of his...

uh, closest students was Plato.
