Legends, myths, plays, song and poetry, are the universal method since the bending of time to commit to memory universal truths and laws, and events in our history.

There is a host of written material about it, only, subject to interpretation, and the Athenians did "defeat" the Atlanteans because they understood the "story", and furthermore, one civilization "conquers" the knowledge of the previous. The murials are in the glowing with Orichalcum Temple of Poseidon. It's just a matter of getting one's feet of the ground to reach "this power (which) came forth from the Atlantic Ocean" of "those days" when it "was still navigable." As far as I know, our Atlantic Ocean is still quite navigable.

It is fiction when seen from the same old reference.

They took the gun with them and we left us to see through the smoke.

Harry will also mature in time, long time.
