Mysteries and Monsters: Episode 401 Atlantis Through Time with Sian Ingham

Atlantis Through Time is the first book to chart the fascinating cultural history of Atlantis from its origin in Plato's dialogues to its strange and compelling rebirths in pop culture, occultism, and fantasy. Rather than treating Atlantis as either hoax or truth, Sian Ingham takes the myth on its own imaginative terms, showing how different generations have used the legend to reflect their hopes, fears, and obsessions.Sian joins me to look in to some of the most notorious characters to be drawn to the Atlantean myth, its problematic origin story and why this legend still draws people to it three millenniums on!Sian's book can be found here: Thanks to Sian for joining me this week. Our Patreon is live, if you want to support the show and get Ad-Free episodes, bonus content, early release of the regular show and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!Join now for $4 a month!You can also support the show by leaving a review to help spread the word.Don't forget, you can now show your support with our brand new Merchandise shop on Tee-Public!Click here for all the show merch!You can join us on Facebook and Instagram as well.You can also subscribe to our YouTube channel!Email us at [email protected] with any feedback, guest suggestions or if you'd like to appear.           All artwork by Dean Bestall and the show was produced by Brennan Storr of the Ghost Story Guys. Our theme music is kindly provided by the amazing Weary Pines, you can find them here:  Intro - Zombies Ate My Shotgun     Outro - Into The Night #Atlantis #SianIngham #Socrates #Plato #AncientGreece #AncientRome #Egypt #Mummies #Pharaohs #BCE #Vril #Cults #MadameBlavatsky #IgnaciousJones #EarthMysteries #Fortean #Mysteries #Aliens #UFOs #Atlanteans #Ancient #Nazis #Shaver #AmazingStories #Fate #Mediterranean #Italy #Greece #Minoans #Mu #Zealand #LostContinents #HollowEarth
