It is difficult to accept that an academic could write such nonsense. He cannot be unaware that Plato&#8217;s narrative is composed of mythology, history and within the bounds of literary licence, some embellishment of his own. Otherwise, according to Teleguin, we are expected to believe that Clieto actually gave birth to five sets of male twins, that Athens fought a war before it existed and that Poseidon and Atlas were real people! The same absence of critical thinking allows people to believe that the world was created in seven days.<\/p>\n<p><sup>(a)<\/sup> <a href=\"http:\/\/atlantida.primordial.org.ua\/archives\/251\">Sergey Teleguin: Atlantis \u2014 Vedic Tripura | * ????????? \/ ATLANTIDA * (primordial.org.ua)<\/a> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>*<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><sup>(b) <\/sup><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20241004020336\/https:\/\/mayanarchaeology.tripod.com\/id23.html\">A NEW STUDY AS TO WHERE THE MAYANS CAME FROM (archive.org)<\/a><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u00a0*<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sergey Teleguin is a Russian professor of Philology and a leading advocate of the idea that the city of Tripura (Triple City) in Vedic tradition was the original inspiration behind Plato\u2019s city of Atlantis.
