Free your mind, and think free, it is the key to the real philosophy

Ancient Greek temple at Paestum (Picture I) https://pimeakronikka.blogspot.fi/p/free-your-mind-and-think-free-it-is-key.html Kimmo Huosionmaa In the beginning, I must say that we haven't got a single hard evidence about the advanced technical civilizations, what has lived on Earth before human race has started to dominate the world. Here I must mention, that, of course, there is a story like Plato's "Atlantis", where is mentioned that there have been secret cities what were populated by people, who had squamous skin. Sometimes I think that maybe Plato wrote pure fiction, and the story of the powerful state, known as "Atlantis" was pure science fiction.
