Plato wrote about Atlantis as a place that actually, factually once existed in his book the Critias. I believe the Atlanteans were probably responsible for things we have no true answer for archaeologically and technologically, like the building of the pyramids, the incredible bond-free, massive, hundred tons blocks making up megalithic walls throughout the ancient world, the fact that there are many different religions with creators who show up with technology that helped turn pastoral societies into civilizations, domestication of animals and extremely advanced systems of irrigation. I believes the people who we now know as the ancient Egyptians inherited the pyramids following some sort of global cataclysm about 12,500 years ago aka the Younger Dryas Impact Theory causing The Deluge, Noah’s biblical flood and ark narrative, Utnapishtim’s Preserver of Life and flood story from the Epic of Gilgamesh. There are similar stories of tsunamis destroying civilizations ranging from aboriginal Australians, Ancient pre-Inca, pre-Maya, pre-Olmec Middle and South American civilizations, ancient Greeks, Canaanites, Mesopotamians, Egyptians, etc.

We don’t and I fear we cannot know the answer to so many of the ancient mysteries, either because the answers are purposefully obfuscated or lost to the sands of time. Ancient history starts a long, long time ago and the victors always wrote the history. Throughout our collective word history there have been so many civilizations intent on complete and total annihilation or their foes and their beliefs that much more of what is true will never be heard from again.

How about spirits, both benevolent and malevolent? Could be referred to as ghosts or demons or angels or by whatever name. One person’s freedom fighter is someone else’s terrorist so one person’s vile demon could be another’s protector. I think it’s more a perspective thing than we’ve ever been told.

1. You can't tell me in this huge huge huge galaxy, universe, space place that we're the one planet that got lucky and boom smart people.

2. With the technology so far advanced from the first moon landing, there's a damn reason we haven't been back since 1972 50 fucking years ago!!!!!

Not either of them's fault for what the company did, and not within either of their power to do anything about it. Though the second guy was kind of a dick so maybe I don't feel so bad about flipping out on him. I was much harder on him anyway.
