Podcast Notes: I Discovered the Real Atlantis with Marco Bulloni

This chapter is dedicated to the island described by Plato which, according to the author is the real Atlantis: the Solovetsky island in Russia, also know with the name of Solovki. The official history of the island and the surrounding White Sea is presented starting from the Neolithic up to today, together with what results from the recent archaeological studies and the local accounts. The doubts and the incoherencies of the official story are listed and a new hypothesis is given supporting the idea that the island may have had a different history from the official one.

These are some important conclusions of the author, related to the prehistory and the monastic period on the island:

 Until the 8th millennium BC the island was totally covered by 2kms of ice;
 From the 8th millennium onwards, the ice melted and the whole island gradually
emerged from the sea.
 The island was visited by human population during the 6th millennium BC
The Island was considered a sacred place by its population starting from 3000 years BC up to 1000 BC, by the so called White Sea culture. Probably this culture belonged to the Atlantis Empire
 In the prehistory there is a discontinuance between the islands culture before the first millennium BC and afterwards.
 Such discontinuance makes us suppose that something terrible must have happened to the Island, something that forced the inhabitants to leave definitively those places.
 After this period the Island was inhabited by other populations with totally different characteristics from the previous ones.
 According to the author, the first Orthodox monks who settled on the Island starting from the XV century AC on, found the rests of previous settlings and started a huge work of repair and recovery. Thanks to their great work, Atlantis ruins are still visible.
 Such work could justify also the great economic growth occurred on the Island during the last 5 centuries.
All the above considerations are coherent with the hypothesis that Solovki Island could be the mythical Atlantis described by Plato. In order to understand how the above considerations are coherent with the text of the Greek philosopher, his tale must be
analyzed in detail.
