What you'll learn

Students will see that the rise of Rome had a significant impact on the remnant Atlantean culture around the Mediterranean.
And yet, the scientist-priests would go on to continue their study and also influence cultures far removed.
The names of the gods have changed, but a ritual landscape survived, in unlikely places.
Today, we have scant remains still from Atlantis, but more an incredible legacy, hidden in most cases.

Aftermath to the Bronze-Age collapse and the rise of Rome40:00
After the Santorini explosion, and 'nuclear winter' in Northern Europe leads to Sea People invasions and destabilization of the Mediterranean, a dark ages begins. Remnant cultures fight over what's left, paving the way for Rome to eventually conquer everything in its path and creating an Atlantean refuge diaspora. Thus further seeds of Atlantis spread out across the globe!
The Irish Monks, who 'saved civilization', and continued Atlantean Star Science39:07
The incredible Irish monks kept education in the West alive after the fall of Rome. Yet, they seem to have been at least partly a façade as they seem to have retained pagan attributes in their culture. Certainly they continued star science and very long distance sea voyages. these 'Atlanteans' rubbed up against pagan Germany, probably causing the beginning of the Viking Age, a separate group of Mediterranean refugees from Rome's conquests.
Twilight of the Gods, and the surprising retainers of Atlantean wisdom36:57
The Roman Catholic Church retained several themes of earlier religions, which were a compilation of philosophy and thought from the time of Atlantis forward. And then came the arguably pagan, Christian Knights Templars, who preserved their own aspects as well.
The new god, a free-market economy and empiricism.30:06
Enter Free-Masonry, and the Age of Enlightenment, the 'death of religion', the rise of secularism and international banking. After millenia of warfare, perhaps the last vestiges of Atlantis remain only in various symbols and hidden rites, replaced by something dynamic, concrete, yet lacking the 'magic' of the past.
Ultimate Conclusion, the scant remains of Atlantis29:57
The final summary of the entire four-class review of Atlantis, its factual existence, its impact in prehistory, the seed-cultures it eventually started, and the undercurrent through history that has survived.

Requirements

The previous three courses on Atlantis should be completed first, so this all makes sense.

Description

We've pretty well determined that Atlantis existed, and where. Recognizing incredible climactic changes throughout this narrative, we've seen how eventually Atlantean survivors came ashore in Europe, spreading out an incredibly vast culture, one with the ability to 'electro-engineer' its climate and farming. A further offshoot of Atlanteans invaded the Nile river area, setting up a vastly different culture, one with writing, advanced architecture, chemistry and electro-science. Things were going pretty well around the Mediterranean until the Santorini explosion, the resultant cooling of Northern Europe and the tremendous influx of refugees who destabilized the region.

In this final episode, we will look at what happened after the Bronze Age collapse, particularly with the rise of Rome and the subsequent cultural diffusion that fled, in all directions and over great distances, who this may have led to the pyramid cultures of China and Meso-America, and the sea-fairing cultures that then developed in far Northern Europe

Moving the clock forward, we will see how Roman Catholicism usurped and also preserved ancient traditions, relabeling them.

Time marches on and we will see that with the Age of Enlightenment, a 'counter reformation' of science, free-masonry and others will challenge the church and provide their own link to the wisdom of Atlantis and all the ages since.

We will ultimately conclude this amazing voyage, to see what remnants remain, at least visibly.
