Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
Though Gods they were-
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis!

The author needs to do a WHOLE lot more explaining because what the professor is saying sounds like complete blarney.

It is a long and exciting story, but basically I cracked the code. I have shown rigorously that the books do contain codes and symbols .... An excerpt of Dr. Kennedy's detailed notes is shown below:

Platos books played a major role in founding Western culturePlato is the father of collectivism in the West.He is the first thinker to formulate a systematic view of reality ,with a collectivist politics as its culmination. So Plato, thanks a lump.

Plato anticipated the Scientific Revolution 2,000 years before Isaac Newton, discovering its most important idea the book of nature is written in the language of mathematics. Alamo-Girl has suggested that mathematics is "God's copyright notice" on the universe. I think she is right. Evidently, Plato would have thought so, too.
Thanks for posting this fascinating article, decimon!

I haven’t read the paper, but if the article is a fair summary, all he discovered is that Plato (or one of his copyists) wrote happy music for the good parts of his corpus and angry music for the bad parts. That’s neat, but I’m not seeing the revolution in the history of western philosophy.
To: decimon
There is not enough information from the dear professor.He talks about discovering Plato’s true philosophy, but does not go into any detail as to what that is and how it is different than what we already know regarding Plato.
