Matt Socha on Atlantis, the Anunnaki & the Secret Slave Race

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioNov 4, 2026

Author Matt Socha discusses his book Preying Atlantis, which asks whether the lost continent of Atlantis was real by looking at ancient DNA and migration patterns. He argues that rare genetic markers, such as Rh-negative blood and the sudden spread of Y-DNA haplogroup R1b, track Atlantean survivors moving into Western Europe and Africa. Rather than accepting Plato's date of 9600 BCE, Socha points to the 4.2 Kiloyear Event around 2200 BCE as Atlantis's true collapse, and links the story to Sumerian myths of the Anunnaki and to global shifts in farming.
