"Diving into the Abyss: Unraveling the Mysteries of 'Atlantis, the Antediluvian World' by Ignatius Donnelly"
Tumblr media
In his timeless work, "Atlantis, the Antediluvian World," Ignatius Donnelly takes readers on an intellectual voyage through the corridors of history, mythology, and speculative science to explore the enigma of Atlantis. Published in 1882, Donnelly's magnum opus continues to captivate minds, challenging conventional beliefs about ancient civilizations and submerged realms.
The title itself sparks curiosity, suggesting an exploration of a world lost to time. Donnelly, a 19th-century polymath, weaves together a tapestry of evidence, folklore, and imagination, presenting a compelling case for the existence of a once-great civilization that predates recorded history.
The book unfolds like an archaeological adventure, with Donnelly delving into various ancient texts, mythologies, and geological phenomena to build his case for the existence of Atlantis. Drawing on works from Plato to ancient Hindu scriptures, he meticulously constructs a narrative that places Atlantis at the center of a global, advanced society.
Donnelly's bold hypotheses challenge readers to question the limits of human achievement in the ancient world. He proposes a sophisticated society with advanced technology, drawing parallels between the architectural feats of Egypt, Mexico, and the lost city of Atlantis. The author's arguments are not just a product of his imagination; they are backed by extensive research, albeit within the context of the knowledge available during his time.
The allure of "Atlantis, the Antediluvian World" lies in its ability to spark the imagination while grounding its theories in the available evidence of the era. Donnelly's exploration of geological anomalies, linguistic connections, and cultural parallels contributes to the mystique surrounding Atlantis.
However, the book is not without its critics. Skeptics argue that Donnelly's interpretations are speculative and at times overly optimistic. Nevertheless, the enduring appeal of his work lies in the profound impact it had on subsequent generations of scholars, scientists, and fiction writers who continued to explore the possibility of a lost civilization.
In conclusion, Donnelly's "Atlantis, the Antediluvian World" stands as a testament to the enduring fascination with the unknown depths of human history. Whether one approaches it as a work of speculative science or an engaging piece of historical literature, the book continues to beckon readers to contemplate the mysteries that lie beneath the surface of our understanding of ancient civilizations.
"Atlantis, the Antediluvian World," By Ignatius Donnelly is available in Amazon in paperback 21.99$ and hardcover 29.99$ editions.

OKAY GUYS
so. you know how a lot of people hc about the gotham accent in general dc media? well i always love this hc because accents are just so cool to me. so hear me out (this post is specific to the gotham tv show universe but can be generalized to any universe a cataclysm/No Man's Land event has occured)
earlier i was on tiktok and i found a video talking about the human tendency to create accents over time. (the video talked about how friend groups and families create accents/dialects which is?? so cool?? but i digress)
anyway, this led me to learn about a study about a group of scientists living in antarctica and how, over the period of just one winter, their vowel sounds had begun to merge together to create the beginnings of an accent. so now, i'll relate this to the cataclysm event.
to cause this event, during which gothamites are cut off in basically every way from the outside world, the bridges around gotham are bombed and destroyed (at least in the gotham tv universe). in this same universe, the time in which they are completely undisturbed (besides one guy communicating over a radio to one lady) is 97 days (over 3 months), at which time a military strike force (kinda. they're evil) is sent in to basically kill all of the criminals there. however, these people really only communicate limitedly with police, gang leaders, and like one time with bruce wayne. but that's about it. reunification with the outside world only began after day 391. that's over an entire year of near-complete separation from the outside world.
now, they already started off most likely having some kind of accent, especially noticeable in the people who lived primarily in the city. (even if the accent isn't particularly strong/differentiated at the time.) however, now they've spent an entire year together, alone in a big city. this has the makings of a stronger accent (at least for those who were stranded in gotham when this event occurred).
one of the important things to keep in mind when considering accents/dialects is the use of specialized vocabulary words, and lemme tell ya, gotham 100% has that. even excluding all of the names they have for people and the general gang info these people have, they still have multiple different terms for parts of town (ex: the financial district = penguin's territory, etc. with the other gangs in power at the time). on top of even this, the amount of stuff that just casually goes on in gotham is seen to completely flabbergast outsiders all the time. they likely have slang that is used to refer to various things the rogues do, or things about violence, gang wars, rations, barracks, etc. there is SO MUCH opportunity for an accent to originate here??
of course, once the events of No Man's Land end and reunification happens, a ton of gothamites who weren't there during it move back in and the accent is dispersed among the population. it likely is in part shared and, over time, becomes part of common vernacular, and, in part, deteriorates, especially regarding things that are no longer as common in the distant future (ex. referring to the financial district as penguin's terf 10 years after this happens would be a bit odd). however, i do believe that this would create a lasting impact on the overall population of gotham, even if only minorly.
(to those of you who keep up with my de-aged!gotham bruce au, this is going to be featured in some of the up-and-coming chapters (slang that feels off to others, weird references, a stronger accent, if only slightly, etc.). if you have any ideas or thoughts on this topic feel free to chime in!!! i love chatting and some help brainstorming on this would be appreciated <33)

ch. seven sneak peek 👀
“S’funny,” Steve murmurs, “how people can look at the same stars and see different things. Tell themselves different stories.” Eddie turns toward him, eyes trailing over the soft contours of his face. He’s achingly beautiful in the dim starlight. Eddie’s chest feels tight.  “Not just the stars,” drops out of his mouth before he has a chance to stop it. Steve finally looks away from the sky, turns back to meet Eddie’s eyes, search his face.  “No,” he agrees after a moment of this quiet, mutual observation. “Not just the stars.”
chapter seven of my big bang project start by pulling him out of the fire posts tomorrow!

(genshin impact 4.1 spoilers)
no but the tidbit from neuvillette about how the gnoses are objects containing power stolen from the seven sovereigns???
whaaat?????
so does this mean that the tsaritsas plan could possibly be to hand the power back to them and have them defeat celestia???
makes sense why zhongli would align with her if thats the case, none of the archons seem to think kindly of celestia, theyre all definetly more favourable to the sovereigns.

Petition for there to be a Zelda game that’s a cross between animal crossing and stardew valley so that Link can just settle down somewhere and not have to worry about saving the word every five minutes and maybe romance someone if he’s in the mood for it

I got too excited about the cute Oberon Harmonia Bloom dolls and blacked out and when I came to I had drawn this because I love Oberon and I love dolls and I feel like some kind of weird doll missionary. Jp version is on my Twitter. (This was originally drawn for a bunch of jp oberon fans I kept seeing around saying they were a bit hesitant to get the doll/s because they’d never had one and so didn’t really know if they should if they didn’t know ‘how to handle a doll’. I think there’s a lot of fear involved in expensive collectables with people thinking they need to be kept in a special case and never touched because they’re so expensive, but IMO if they’re that expensive you should be getting your moneys worth and playing with them like so, and that’s what I do.)
(also my doll account on tumblr is actually @montydollcrew2 because I’m locked out of the OG lol)

ah. so elynas and durin really are siblings huh
#personal stuff#thorn plays genshin#hm. hm.#can't believe albedo has another sibling! fontaine event where albedo goes to elynas. who's with me#hsdgfjdkh but fr i thought so after completing the quest!#big dead dragon born from a cosmic void with blood that crystallizes. cells that literally drop Alien Goop#and then the world quest where we get the pov of the ship's crew talking about the Abyssal sea monsters#AND THEN. now. rereading durin lore#durin specifically arose from the Sea and is described as being a black *serpentine* dragon in line with elynas's appearance#festering desire also speaks of a Mother#then dragonspine spear paints durin as being gentle and wanting to befriend the people of mondstadt#and feeling no ill will towards them or dvalin when he died#which is VERY in line with elynas saying he realized the things that interested him brought fear and pain to others.#and that if he could traverse this world without causing pain or fear he would.#is very similar to durin wishing he could have met dvalin and venti and mondstadt under different circumstances#both weapons speak of being born from the same darkness that elynas talks about#AND both of their hearts are still intact. why tf did jakob want to get elynas's to beat again. what the fuck#just aoooh. i love how much of genshin exploration is just realizing how fucking fitting the Cataclysm is as a name for what happened#and how much it happened Everywhere#like. at least 3/7 of the original archons died. which is fucking. bonkers to me#considering MOST of them lived until that point with the only confirmed exception being the og pyro archon#don't even get me started on the fact that most of these deaths aren't even known#makoto obviously and rukkhadevata retroactively. no one in fontaine says a WORD about the lord of amrita#the only ones who seem to care about her are the oceanids. what the fuck#but god. like#the narzissenkreuz institute and the order of skeptics questline. the impact that people trying to investigate the cataclysm had#on others and themselves#like it makes a lot of sense but we don't see it anywhere else!! fucking of course people would try to study the cataclysm!!#of course people would try and find out wtf happened!!!#but now everything to do with the cataclysm is confidential to the point where people don't believe that most of the stories are true
