| Atlantis, The Lost City Of | Crystals | Apple | All of the best pseudoscience suggests Atlantis used advanced crystal technology to wield power and keep social order. This is often portrayed as the focusing of a mysterious energy source, one that can cure death or drain souls like in Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal. Most movies show Atlantean crystals as big geometric rocks, such as sapphire or amethyst. But consider this... You, the reader, are right now entranced by a liquid crystal display. (Note that this can be either a monitor, your television, or perhaps even an iPhone.) This blog won't cure illness or stop death in its tracks. Rather its realistic aim is to stem the bleeding of souls by such methods as *perhaps* once used in Atlantis. |
