Re: Examples of OL chronology used in other sources

In larger background context of OL chronology being used later in Christian sources (see above), I'm sad to tell of demise of major Hellenistic Bible scholar here .

Re: Is Scandinavia Atlantis?

Good channel with really interesting takes.

There are multiple Hel-named sites: Hel peninsula in Poland, Hälsingland in Sweden and Hel(sinki) region in Finland. By virtue of other associated attributes, the likes of Hindu and Buddhist echoes on magical "stove" stones (häll, hella) in Uttarakuru ...
