Thorvald C. Franke responds to Tom Holland’s presentation about Atlantis. There is little common thread in Thorvald’s writing and so it is difficult to respond to it. As I wrote before, neither of them mention Plato’s idol Academos, which I believe was the Python Spirit in Acts 16:16. Also, both have clearly never heard of the eonian times. According to Thorvald Franke, Egypt was founded 3000 years before Christ. But then we are well before the Flood when there was no Egypt yet. I have also pointed this out before. According to Tom Holland, Crete could not be Atlantis because the island did not fit Plato’s description. In itself I agree with this. Nevertheless, it’s a shame Tom Holland didn’t mention the Philistine idol Dagon who was the blueprint for Poseidon. Crete was therefore a type of Atlantis. It is also a pity that Tom Holland labels Plato’s Atlantis as pure fiction. How is it then that there are so many Biblical symbols in the epic, starting with the idols Poseidon, Athena and Zeus who were all known in the Bible, namely Dagon. Astarte and Baal Tzafon. Why does Tom Holland not mention the dualistic principle of the many contradictions that plagued Atlantis? A self-sufficient isolationist island that is quarreling with the whole world the next moment? Why doesn’t Tom Holland mention the most important fact about Atlantis, namely its anti-Semitic character with Israel being the stark absentee, despite the abundant biblical symbolism in the epic? Not Jesus Christ but Zeus punished Poseidon’s Atlantis and dethroned the God of the Bible from his omnipotence. As for Thorvald Franke; he messes with years like it’s nothing. The 9000 years before Plato when Atlantis went under, he simply reduces to 3000 BC because, according to him, Egypt was founded then. Apart from the fact that this is nonsense and we are then before the Flood, it is not a systematic way of investigating how to deal with years in this way. Even then, the question is whether the 3000 years earlier is a rounded number? By comparison, the Exodus of the Jews from Babylon was 1,000 years to the day after the Exodus from Egypt, both on Passover. Until Tom Holland and Thorvald C. Franke understand that Atlantis is a complex theology and that the Biblical word Tsafon can mean midnight or sunset in addition to meaning “north” in Psalm 48:2, they will never understand what Atlantis is. Finally, I read nothing about the dualism of Atlantis: commerce versus the temple of Poseidon, or Babylon versus Jerusalem. Whoever calls the inhabitants of Crete Minoans instead of Philistines has understood little of systematic research. The term Minoans was once coined by Sir Arthur Evans while the archenemies of Israel were the Philistines of Crete who migrated to Canaan. There is only 1 discoverer of Atlantis and that is Leon Elshout from Almelo. https://www.atlantis-scout.de/atlantis-tom-holland-engl.htm
