Not a lot of info at the link about this material, so I’ll just have to shrug this off for now, fascinating as the topic may be.

#1: Dude that found it says “6th century”

#2: JOURNALIST claims “2600 year old”

#3: It’s an ALLOY of copper

#4: Alloys are NOT ores, but MAN MADE by definition

Why am I wasting my time?

I think the writer omitted the BC when he wrote first half of the Sixth Century. It the only thing which makes sense with the dating. The first half of the Sixth Century BC.

However, “The real metal is a brass-like alloy, which was made in a crucible in ancient times.” An alloy is an alloy, something which cannot be mined, by has to be made. So either Plato was wrong about the origin of the metal or these yahoos are. Wait for the metallurgy report before getting all excited.

Moreover, Plato was reporting something he was told orally by an Egyptian priest which had happened 9000 years before Plato. The Egyptians, who loved a good pun or joke at someone else’s expense, surely wouldn’t have been putting one over on him, would they?

The Atlantis story has been around for thousands of years, so there is likely something to it.

My guess; Atlantis went under during the total continental shifting that took place during the Noahic Flood.

Plato described Atlantis as glittering ‘with the red light of orichalcum’, and he claimed that it was mined there, and used to build huge, glinting temples to the sea god Poseidon.'

FWIW Bob Lazar claimed that element 115 is red, and powered the UFOs he studied.

When the city of Atlantis stood serene above the sea,
Long time before our time when the world was free,
Those were the days.

Golden cymbals flying on ocarina sounds,
Before wild Medusa's serpents gave birth to hell
Disguised as heaven.

I guess worshipping the god of the sea didn’t help them much.
