But one thing I want to say, the way I want to frame this is that this is the non-myth of Atlantis.
People talk about the myth of Atlantis.
No, we're going to talk about the non-myth of Atlantis.
And there is actually, as most people have kind of said, there's only one source that we really know about Atlantis from.
And it comes from Plato, and it comes from Plato's dialogues, the Timaeus and the Critias.
So these are two sources.
basically scripts of conversations.
And these people are talking.
And in these two conversations, they bring up this ancient continent of Atlantis.
And so the first thing that I wanted to do is to just go to these source documents and kind of just...
read what we're working with and then kind of work on from there.
Just like last time I was here, we read about Matthew 2 and the Star of the Magi.
Now I want to take the time to actually kind of read what we know in the original from Plato.
The Atlantean source.
The Atlantean source.
Socrates.
The first one's a Timaeus.
And they're in this conversation about ancient times.
And Solon is this very famous Greek lawgiver.
He's kind of, I guess, the George Washington of Athens.
