Daitya is the name the Theosophical writers give to the southern of the two great islands left after Atlantis broke apart. These are the pages where I follow it from its appearance to its disappearance.
The southern island
On The Story of Atlantis – focus on the occult investigation of Atlantis and its sub-races W. Scott-Elliot describes the fourth map:
Daitya, the smaller and more southerly of the islands, has almost entirely disappeared, while of Ruta there only remains the relatively small island of Poseidonis.
W. Scott-Elliot, The Story of Atlantis
The summary on What does the story of Atlantis by W. Scott-Elliot claim about the lost continent? sets out the sequence: after about 200,000 years ago Atlantis splits into Ruta and Daitya, and by 75,000 years ago Daitya is almost gone. On William Scott-Elliot Atlantis and Maps of Atlantis I follow how Scott-Elliot’s maps place Ruta and Daitya, and Ruta: The Northern Island of Atlantis follows the larger of the two.
The catastrophe of 75,025 B.C.
On Atlantis rose and fell in 3 distinct cycles and The Fall of Atlantis: misuse of power and abuse of advanced technologies I quote Lieut.-Colonel Arthur E. Powell: explosions of gas, floods and earthquakes destroyed Ruta and Daitya, leaving only Poseidonis, in the catastrophe of 75,025 B.C. The first of those pages also gives the same account from chapter IX of Man: Whence, How and Whither. On The Solar System – Atlantis Powell’s third map splits the land into northern Ruta and southern Daitya.
