Spinning Plato’s
Another of the James Cameron documentaries that are on Disney Plus as part of the National Geographic strand, “Atlantis Rising” sees Cameron . . . away making Avatar sequels, whilst his collaborator, Simcha Jacobvici does the work and reports in.Since it’s mention in a book by Plato, the “lost continent of Atlantis” has been inspiration for fiction. Here, Simcha Jacobvici begins a quest leaping around the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, tracking down various leads to work out where it might have been. With a degree of speculation, Simcha makes some interesting discoveries and explores some theories. He reports back to James Cameron every so often on his progress and they analyse the ideas.
It’s not much of a spoiler, as it might have made the news had he actually done it, but the team don’t manage to find definitive proof of Atlantis. They do make some significate discoveries, mostly the discovery of anchor stones in various locations that they perhaps wouldn’t have been expected, suggesting the location of islands that operated almost like weigh stations, before ships would move the actual ports. They also find some evidence that that distance travelled by people at various points in history might actually be much further than previously thought.
But, and I say this with the full acknowledgement that I don’t have any significant studies of history, particularly cultural history – but some of the film’s ideas felt like a stretch to me. Scratches in ancient rocks are taken to be pictures of Atlantis, or an odd shape is a boat. Trying to build links between the various disparate cultures around the Med’ feels, to me more like coincidence – or best practice, rather than a proof of refugee’s starting a new life.
But, unlike some of the other similar documentaries I’ve been watching recently, at least with this one I was entertained all the way though. A follow up, with the continued research, would be worthwhile.
Just A Rehash…
Other then bringing on John Cameron for a cameo almost all the information is a repeat or rehash of the most probable theories on the fall of ATLANTIS. The most plausible of them being that the Minoan Island Trading Empire on THERA, now SANTORINI was built upon a dormant Volcano. This erupted with a massive explosion and venting of the caldera which subsequently collapsed. Thus creating a massive Tsunami which inundated the eastern Mediterranean. This occurred sometime during the 16th Centuries B.C.E. The eruption took some time to develop its full fury, so the Island appears to have been evacuated prior to the major eruption. The eruption on the Volcanic Explosivity Index was at the level Six (6), possibly as high as a Seven (7).There are several other candidates, starting with MALTA, then keep moving West. Even beyond the PILLARS OF HERCULES (Straits Of Gibraltar). To take that theory seriously you would have to believe that ATLANTIS was best represented by George Pal’s ATLANTIS; The Lost Continent (1961). A enjoyable fantasy film, but hardly science. If you have seen the other documentaries on ATLANTIS you might want to skip this one. If not watch it. Those who have, watch the movie instead. Its hokey, but fun.
