Some more on Atlantis

Additionally, there is simply nothing in the geologic record to point to as an "Aha!" moment. This all stems from people reading all the latter works (that huckster Donnelly and fraud Cayce) and then not truly understanding what Plato was truly driving at with his story.

Certainly, no world-scale flooding event has ever been detected.

Even the late Pleistocene megafloods don't tick that box...

Then again, the world back then, to a mere person, was pretty much as far as he could see to the horizon.

More On Atlantis would, arguably, be Ed Cayce’s version of Atlantis, surely?

I agree.
 
Plato's description of Atlantis is a morality tale/political allegory.

Cayce turned it into a spiritually advanced lost civilization with crystals, psychic powers, reincarnation, and a catastrophic destruction.

Aka most of the New Age Atlantis sorts come from Cayce as opposed to Timaeus/Critias...
