Bernie Taylor on Plato’s Lost Blueprint: Have We Found the Real Atlantis?

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioOct 6, 2026

Researcher Bernie Taylor argues that Plato built his Atlantis story from real sources, including earlier writers and the ruins of Malta's ancient megalithic temples. He says Plato's dates were metaphor rather than fact, and he highlights Maltese features such as bull imagery and red-painted temples that match Plato's description. He also presents a star-based dating theory that would push the temples back to the era of Gobekli Tepe, far older than archaeologists currently accept.

The story runs through Adam and Eve as purple-skinned celestial envoys, the Watchers of the Book of Enoch, Gobekli Tepe, and Francis Crick's directed panspermia paper.

Astrologer and Sufi teacher James Burgess explains the Sabian symbols, a set of 360 degree-by-degree astrological images channeled by psychic Elsie Wheeler in 1925, and shares how his decades-long quest led him to secret Sufi orders in 1980s Turkey. He introduces his new book on the outer planets, proposing that Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto form a trinity of freedom, creativity, and evolution whose midpoint, the 'Trinity Point', reveals a person's spiritual path. Along the way he speculates that the Sabians descended from Atlantean survivors who settled near Harran and helped build Gobekli Tepe.
