How can anyone not believe in the ancient legend of Atlantis after seeing the footage after the devastation of Category V Hurricane Katrina. It takes only a few helicopter images of the Television set to see that New Orleans is submerged? It is interesting that mankind cannot learn from these ancient tales. It is as if we are doomed to repeat over and over again in a continuous loop? It is rather comical really until you think of the thousands who failed to evacuate and then paid with their lives for they were all part of us; those who call themselves Americans only a week prior.
The legend told by Plato in the Critias and Timaeus, doesn’t seem all that difficult to believe for someone living in the present period. The past two years; especially after the Indonesia Earthquake and Tsumami and now Hurricane Katrina seem to help us understand how Mother Nature can re-take her land.
This Category Five Hurricane Katrina once again reminds us, as it showed that such an event can hit even the greatest, most advanced nation and civilization ever created in the history of mankind. This is but another lesson re-learned. Perhaps we ought to read some of these old works again and think on them before we feel omnipotent against the forces of Mother Nature. Perhaps we should be humbled in retrospect and learn from our past periods. Think on this.
