Mario usually when the same man tells two stories that are supposedly about the same thing you would expect those stories to support one another. The Timaeus and the Critias contradict one another, not in just one or two instances but in several. If you like I can show you where. Now my conclusion to this is that both stories cannot be correct, so either one is true and the other is not or both are false. However I can back up what the Timaeus says with other ancient works so I’m going to go with it, as the true source.
It’s just my opinion but I am starting to believe that the Critias is just a description and layout of a Phoenician city. (Perhaps exaggerated a bit!)
So many ruins of circular cities that match Plato’s description of Atlantis have been discovered lately all over the planet, and from my research, I am finding that most if not all of these locations were once Phoenician colonies, it stands to reason that the Phoenicians had a standard design that they used, this is just my opinion and a theory that I am currently working from, but it would explain why it’s been so hard to nail down the actual location of Atlantis.
It is good to hear from you though Mario, it’s been a while

Dear Wind,
Well, i said there were no contradiction as to wether Plato was really telling a story as it heard it from those caracters Critias and Timaeus, to which i asked why should it not be true? They gathererd around and told two stories as they heard it a long time ago... of course they are somewhat different, oral stories tend to difer a little from person to person, i am sure if you pick ten people to tell the tale as they have read it, as they remember it, you will come up with ten different stories that is for sure, simply because it is not maths but a tale...
regards,
Mario Dantas

Alright I see what you getting at Mario, it’s starting to make sense to me now, you’re saying that he was a story teller who was just telling the story the way that he had heard it. In other words don’t shoot the messenger, we can’t fault Plato and call him false if he was just repeating what he had heard . Sorry about that, sometimes it takes a while for the wheels in my head to start turning it the right direction

Wind, please consider starting a topic in the 'Plato's Atlantis' section and presenting what you perceive to be contradictions. Perhaps it could be entitled "Inconsistencies between Plato's Accounts" or "...betweeen Timaeus and Critias" or something to that effect. I think it may spark a good discussion on the board and I'd be interested to read your views. ~H

I’ll see what I can do Horus,
I’ll have to gather my thoughts first so it may take a little while.

Horus I started the topic on the Plato's Atlantis board, it's called Do the Timaeus and Critias contradict each another?
I just thought I'd let you know.
