00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:04.879
What if The most dangerous part of the Legend of
2
00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:15.480
Atlantis isn't whether it was real. What if it's why
3
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:22.359
it refuses to disappear. An entire an empire beyond pillars
4
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:28.480
of Hercules, advanced, wealthy and dominant, and then just gone
5
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:36.920
swallowed in a single day and night. No confirmed ruins,
6
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:43.000
no recovered artifacts. We can point two without argument at least,
7
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.359
so just a story that has survived longer than most
8
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:54.439
empires ever did. And here's the unsettling part. Atlantis doesn't
9
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:58.520
feel ancient. It feels familiar.
10
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:00.560
Tonight.
11
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:06.959
We're not hoving uh for coordinates. We're asking a harder question.
12
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.760
Why does this story feel like a warning.
13
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:35.439
Podcast broadcast truth in the minds of the people.
14
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:42.120
You didn't click this to hear another map theory. You
15
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:47.000
clicked because the legend of Atlantis carries weight. It lingers
16
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:52.319
and nags at something, and right now, doubt that it
17
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:57.359
feels heavier. We're living in a moment where systems feel strained,
18
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:04.799
supply chained, snap, financial markets swing wildly, Infrastructure that once
19
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:09.520
felt permanent suddenly looks super fragile. And in the middle
20
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:13.520
of it all, a twenty three hundred year old story
21
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:20.120
about a powerful civilization collapsing overnight starts to hit differently.
22
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:26.199
This episode isn't about proving Atlantis existed. It's not about
23
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:32.120
dismissing it either, though. This is about understanding why the
24
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:37.319
story still endures. By the end of this episode, you'll
25
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:41.759
understand where the legend of Atlantis actually comes from, what
26
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:47.439
Plato's Atlantis account really says, and why this myth continues
27
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:54.639
to surface during moments when civilizations feel uncertain. That's the thread,
28
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:00.719
not treasure hunting, and surely not fantasy meaning, because whether
29
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:05.879
Atlantis was a physical place or not, the belief, the
30
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.639
belief in it is real, the cultural gravity is real,
31
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:16.719
and the obsession is real, and that makes it worth
32
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.599
a worthy of serious attention. And here's what we do know.
33
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:28.840
The primary source for Atlantis is Plato around three hundred
34
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:40.120
and sixty BCE in his dialogues Tomaeus and Critius, he
35
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:45.400
describes a vast island empire beyond the Pillars of Hercules,
36
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.840
which is people now call the Strait of Gibraltar. And
37
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:58.159
according to Plato's Atlantis account, this empire was technologically advanced
38
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:08.280
for its time, dominant, and morally corrupt, and then it
39
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:13.240
fell in a single day and night of misfortune. So
40
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:18.000
he says that line has echoed for over to millennia.
41
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:25.439
An empire that believed it was untouchable a race in
42
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:31.800
less than twenty four hours. That's not fantasy, that's vulnerability.
43
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:39.360
Now here's the contradiction. Most academic historians treat Atlantis as allegory,
44
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:49.720
a political cautionary tale, a philosophical device. And that may
45
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:50.240
be true.
46
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:51.399
It might be.
47
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:55.639
But here's the question that doesn't go away if it
48
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:59.439
was just a story, why does it feel like a memory?
49
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:06.240
Why do ancient civilization collapse theories keep resurfacing in cycles.
50
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.600
Why do we see similar cultural arch types of destruction
51
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:21.439
across civilizations, floods fire from the sky, golden ages ending abruptly.
52
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:28.800
Why does Atlantis myth versus reality remain a live conversation
53
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:34.600
instead of a closed case. Because the power of the
54
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:40.040
legend of Atlantis isn't in the coordinates, it's in the collapse.
55
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:45.959
High strangeness in ancient history often intersect at this exact point,
56
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:51.800
not because we want fantasy, but because we sense patterns.
57
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:56.639
And if you're a curious skeptic, you're not looking to
58
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:05.199
believe to believe everything, You're looking for coherence and you're
59
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:10.360
looking for depth without hysteria. So here's the information gap
60
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:18.639
we're holding on too. If Atlantis was metaphor, why does
61
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:26.759
it resonate during periods when our systems feel bread And
62
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.800
if it was distorted memory, what kind of catastrophe leaves
63
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:38.439
a cultural scar that deep? I don't know. So folks
64
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.800
stem this to a friend who says it's just a
65
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:48.759
myth but still feels uneasy when the grid flickers or
66
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:54.040
the market shake. And if you're a researcher, historian, or
67
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:58.839
investigator working seriously in how I strangeness in ancient history,
68
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:03.759
I want to connect. Let's have rigorous conversations with the
69
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:09.720
without the extremes. Because this week we're not chasing ruins,
70
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:15.920
we're examining fragility and we're and we're just getting to
71
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:24.639
the first layer, section one, the legend of Atlantis, where
72
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:30.120
the story actually begins. So let's strip this back to bedrock,
73
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:39.240
before the documentaries, before the crystal power plant, means, before
74
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:45.519
the underwater drone footage with dramatic music. Okay, where does
75
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:49.279
the legend of Atlantis actually start? And for us, it
76
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:55.160
starts with one man played out and really that's it.
77
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:00.240
There are no Egyptian records we can independently verify by,
78
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:05.600
no Phoenician maps, no parallel Greek accounts describing a lost
79
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:12.000
island empire. I mean people always say, oh, you know,
80
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.959
Library of Alexandria burnt down, blah blah blah. So but
81
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:24.600
either way, what we can prove is just Plato's Atlantis account.
82
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:29.720
We'retten around three hundred and sixty BCE in two dialogues.
83
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:37.039
That alone should give us pause, not dismissal, just pause,
84
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:42.679
because Plato wasn't a historian in what we would consider
85
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:48.279
the modern sense. Plato was a philosopher, a storyteller, a
86
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:55.159
political thinker. And here's how he frames it. He claims
87
00:08:55.159 --> 00:09:02.080
the story came from Solon, who heard it from Egyptian priests.
88
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:07.519
According to them, nine thousand years before Solon's time, there
89
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.639
existed a powerful island civilization beyond the pillars of Hercules,
90
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:19.200
powerful navy, had advanced engineering, massive concentric rings of land
91
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:32.080
and water, bridges, temples, wealth beyond imagination, and then moral corruption, arrogance, expansionism,
92
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:37.519
and divine judgment. In a single day and night of misfortune,
93
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:45.240
Atlanta Atta Atlanta Atlantis sank beneath the sea. Now here's
94
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:49.799
the micro scene. Picture an Athenian citizens sitting in a
95
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:55.879
courtyard listening to this story for the first time. Athens
96
00:09:55.919 --> 00:10:02.039
itself had just survived wars, political upheavls, power struggles, and
97
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:06.799
Plato tells them there was once a numpire stronger than you,
98
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:15.759
richer than you, more advanced than you, and it vanished overnight.
99
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:22.480
That's not fantasy, that's a warning. Now here's the contradiction.
100
00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:29.039
If Plato meant Atlantis purely as allegory, he went into
101
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:38.240
extraordinary detail geography, architecture, military strategy, political structure. Why so
102
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:45.279
specific Philosophers use metaphor all the time. They still do,
103
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.720
but they don't usually design full city schematics unless they
104
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:57.759
want the image to stick. And it's stuck. Here's where
105
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:05.200
this gets interesting. Plato describes Athens, his Athens, his Athens
106
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:16.360
as a moral counterpoint to Atlantis, small, virtuous, disciplined. Atlantis
107
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:23.720
represents imperials excess. So academically, many argued, this is a
108
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:30.960
political philosophy wrapped in myth. Fair, This is fair. The
109
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:36.639
deeper layer is even if it is allegory. Allegory works
110
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:42.519
best when it resonates with something people already recognize. You don't.
111
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:48.960
You don't invent collapse anxiety out of thin air. You
112
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:52.120
you tap into it. Now, let me ask you something.
113
00:11:53.840 --> 00:12:01.600
Why did Plato choose a sudden catastrophe? Why not slow decline?
114
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:09.440
Why not civil war or famine? Why totally annihilate? They
115
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:15.720
annihilate this place in twenty four hours because sudden destruction
116
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:23.720
carries psychological force. It bypasses all debate, and it hits you,
117
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:29.080
hits you right in the gut. The idea that everything
118
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:33.159
stable can disappear in a day is way more terrifying
119
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:39.720
than gradual decay. And that's where ancient civilization collapse theory,
120
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:44.200
that's what we'll call it, start to creep in, because
121
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.759
historically civilizations have collapsed.
122
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:47.559
Right.
123
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:53.240
The Bronze Age collapse around twelve hundred BCE saw entire
124
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:58.759
empires destabilized in a relatively short window. As history goes
125
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.679
trading that which failed in cities, they burnt down, writing
126
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:13.039
systems literally completely vanished. Not fantasy history. Now, I'm not
127
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:17.200
saying Atlantis equals the Bronze Age collapse. That would be
128
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:21.519
freaking lazy of me. But I am saying this human
129
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:30.240
memory has experienced real systemic collapse before multiple times, and
130
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:35.240
Plato may have been drawing from cultural anxiety that was
131
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:43.039
already embedded in Mediterranean history, So only ask about Atlantis
132
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:47.919
myth versus reality. Maybe the wrong question is why there
133
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:59.120
was there a litteral island. Maybe the better question is
134
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:05.080
what something the world produces a story like this, a
135
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:11.679
stable one or a fragile one? The tension we're going
136
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:16.240
to carry forward? All right? If the legend of Atlantis
137
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:19.960
was designed as a warning, why does it feel like
138
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.480
it's speaking across centuries? Then why does it feel less
139
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:31.519
like fiction and more like pattern recognition. We're not done
140
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.120
with Plato, but next we have to step out of
141
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:40.840
ancient Greece, because Atlantis didn't stay a philosophical footnote. It
142
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:47.960
freaking mutated and it spread, and it became something far stranger,
143
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:52.919
and that transformation might tell us more than the original
144
00:14:53.000 --> 00:15:03.399
story ever did. Section two this the Legend of Atlantis
145
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:10.919
and how a philosophy lesson became a local obsession. Things
146
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:15.919
get weird. For nearly fifteen hundred years after Plato, the
147
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:21.039
legend of Atlantis barely moves the cultural needle. And a
148
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:26.399
few mentions here and there, some philosophical debate, but nothing
149
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:32.840
overly explosive. Then the Renaissance hits, ancient texts get rediscovered,
150
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:38.879
printing presses fire up, and suddenly Plato's Atlantis account is
151
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:44.039
circulating widely again. And this time people don't treat it
152
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:47.879
like metaphor. They treat it like a missing chapter of history.
153
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:56.080
Let's pause there for a second. Why the shift, Because
154
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:59.240
the Renaissance wasn't just about art and science, it was
155
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:04.600
about re discovery. It was about the belief that ancient
156
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:11.480
knowledge had been lost the dark ages right and could
157
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:17.840
be recovered. That's fertile ground for Atlantis. Things like Atlantis. Now,
158
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.759
imagine being a European explorer in the fifteen hundreds. You're
159
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:27.679
crossing the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. Entire continents
160
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:36.080
appear that your your civilization didn't even know existed. Civilizations
161
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:44.279
in the Americas, with massive stone structures, advanced agricultural agriculture,
162
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:49.639
astronomical alignment, all kinds of stuff. You're standing in front
163
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:55.279
of something your worldview just didn't account for. And suddenly
164
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:59.720
the idea of a lost advanced civilization sure surely doesn't
165
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:05.440
sound ridiculous, It absolutely sounds plasm And when new worlds
166
00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:10.799
are discovered, old myths start feeling like less like fiction
167
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:15.799
and more like unfinished business. And here's where Atlantis mythiversar
168
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:23.000
reality takes a turn. By the eighteen hundreds, writers began
169
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:30.200
placing Atlantis everywhere, I mean freaking everywhere. The Caribbean, the Azores, Antarctica,
170
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:36.680
the Sahara Okay, the Sahara Desert, which that's the Reshot structure,
171
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:41.480
but that's a whole other episode. Then comes ignacious Don
172
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:48.599
Lee in eighteen eighty two with Atlantis the Antidiluvian World.
173
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:57.480
He argues Atlantis was the source civilization of all ancient
174
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:05.680
cultures Egypt, Messo America, Europe. Now, historically, most of Donnelly's
175
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:11.559
arguments don't hold up under modern scrutiny, modern scrutiny archaeology
176
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:17.640
has advanced significantly since then, allegedly. But here's the thing.
177
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:24.960
The obsession spreads anyway. Why because Donneley tapped into something
178
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:30.079
bigger than geography. He tapped into the fear of loss.
179
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:37.440
The industrial revolution is accelerating, cities are growing so fast,
180
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:44.160
technology is outpacing tradition and still is, and people start wondering,
181
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:49.279
what if progress isn't just linear? What if we've peeped
182
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:56.240
before maybe what if we've done this before and it
183
00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:01.799
just didn't end well. Now we're stepping into psycho logical layer. Okay,
184
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:05.480
the myth of Atlantis becomes less about maps and more
185
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:15.960
about cultural archetypes of destruction. From last week's episode, floodness
186
00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:21.799
exists across cultures. Showed that Messutania the Hebrew Bible, in
187
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:27.359
indigenous traditions worldwide, this flood myth exists. And is it
188
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.160
a myth though, I mean, we don't know whether literal
189
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:37.839
or symbolic. The pattern is always consistent human flourishing, moral decay,
190
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:53.359
catastrophic reset. That's not conspiracy, that's reoccurring narrative structure, bottom line.
191
00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:58.000
And this is where high strangeness and ancient history start
192
00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:05.880
rushing against each other because some begin to speculate was
193
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:13.640
Atlantis a pre Ice Age civilization destroyed by rising sea levels? Possibly?
194
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:17.880
I mean, we know factually that sea levels rose dramatically
195
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:23.079
after the Ice Age, roughly I mean one hundred and
196
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:28.359
twenty meters over one thousands of years, So entire coastline
197
00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:33.119
settlements would now be underwater, and they found a whole
198
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:41.000
bunch of them. That's geological reality. But here's the caution.
199
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:47.599
There is currently no verified archaeological evidence of a global
200
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:58.000
advanced lost super civilization from twelve thousand years ago. Speculation, yes,
201
00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:07.559
hard proof no. And here's where intellectual intellectual agnosticism matters.
202
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:14.960
You hear me use that phrase. You can acknowledge geological
203
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:22.799
catastrophe without inventing crystal power regrids. You can entertain possibility
204
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:29.559
without endorsing fantasy. Now, let me ask you something. Why
205
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:34.039
does the legend of Atlantis surge and popularity during times
206
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:40.440
of instability the late eighteen hundreds, post World War eras,
207
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:45.119
the Cold War, and right now during a period where
208
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:50.759
supply chains feel fragile and geopolitical tensions simmer with I mean,
209
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:57.319
we're at war with Iran, and there's many other conflicts
210
00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:04.279
across the globe that's not cool incidents. Atlantis rises in
211
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:08.440
our imagination when confidence falls in our systems. And that's
212
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:13.480
not to say it didn't exist, but it becomes a
213
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:22.200
mirror a myth that reflects anxiety about collapse. I mean,
214
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:25.839
I just wrote a book about a grid down situation
215
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:32.920
which actually comes out on Sunday. Today's Friday. This book
216
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:39.920
comes out Sunday, so check it out. And here's the
217
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:45.319
deeper tension with all of this. If Atlantis is just allegory,
218
00:22:46.039 --> 00:22:51.400
why does it reappear every time civilization feels brittle? If
219
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:54.559
it's just fantasy, why does it feel like deja vu
220
00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:58.559
man I mean, like imprinted in our dna d dajavu.
221
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:05.400
We're not done because the real weight of the legend
222
00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:11.400
of Atlantis isn't in Plato, and it isn't in Donnelly.
223
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:22.519
It's in us section three, the legend of Atlantis. Why
224
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:29.200
it won't let us go? Okay, uh, let's stop chasing
225
00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:34.880
islands and let's talk about you and me. Because the
226
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:40.400
reason the legend of Atlantis won't die isn't buried under
227
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:44.079
the Atlantic Ocean. Guys. Uh, It's wired in the human
228
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:52.240
the human nervous system. Here's the uncomfortable truth. Civilizations feel
229
00:23:52.279 --> 00:24:00.240
permanent until they don't ask Rome, ask the Mayans, ask
230
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:04.759
any culture that believed it was the center of the world.
231
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:12.079
Sounds familiar, and this is in drama, this is documented history.
232
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:18.519
Entire systems have collapsed within a few generations. Trade networks fail,
233
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:25.480
climate shifts, leadership fractures, external pressures just mount one on
234
00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:29.119
top of another, and from the inside it never feels
235
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:34.160
like the end, it feels like business as usual right
236
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:41.319
up until it's not. Collapse doesn't announce itself. It accumulates quietly,
237
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:45.720
then moves fast. That's why the legend of Atlantis hits
238
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:53.480
different during unstable periods, because it compresses that entire process
1
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:04.879
2
00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:15.480
3
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:22.359
4
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:28.480
5
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:36.920
6
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:43.000
7
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.359
8
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:54.439
9
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:58.520
10
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:00.560
11
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:06.959
12
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.760
13
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:35.439
