Bernie Taylor on Plato’s Lost Blueprint: Have We Found the Real Atlantis?
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioOct 6, 2026
Researcher Bernie Taylor argues that Plato built his Atlantis story from real sources, including earlier writers and the ruins of Malta's ancient megalithic temples. He says Plato's dates were metaphor rather than fact, and he highlights Maltese features such as bull imagery and red-painted temples that match Plato's description. He also presents a star-based dating theory that would push the temples back to the era of Gobekli Tepe, far older than archaeologists currently accept.
Stuart Mason: The Long Man of Wilmington Decode
Earth AncientsSep 5, 2026
Researcher and sacred-site guide Stuart Mason argues that the Long Man of Wilmington, a giant chalk figure in Sussex, England, is far older than its official Tudor-era dating and functions as a Neolithic solar calendar. He describes repeatable shadow effects on the solstices and equinoxes, including a diagonal shadow that splits the figure in half on the equinox, which he compares to the serpent shadow at Chichen Itza. The conversation also covers sacred geometry, ley lines, dowsing, crop circles, and a terraformed landscape that Mason calls a giant clock, while host Cliff opens with theories about Maya trans-oceanic migration and possible Maya telescopes.
