On my page Atlantis: Technology I quote two sources on Atlantean medicine. One is a hypnosis client of Sarah Breskman Cosme. The other is The Only Planet of Choice, a channeled book of 1993. Both say Atlantean medicine was close to ours, or beyond it.
This page follows that thread further. My question is simple. If Atlantean doctors could open bodies and replace organs, what did they do next?
The sources on this site give one answer again and again. They began to mix bodies. The result, they say, was a class of hybrids: beings that were part human and part animal.
I keep four layers apart on this page. A regression is a session under hypnosis in which a client describes what they say is a past life. A channeled text is one that a medium says came from a non-physical source. A reading is a transcript of what Edgar Cayce said in trance. A myth or tale is a traditional story written down by a people or a scribe. None of these layers is proof. Together they make a pattern I find hard to ignore.
From medicine to experiments
The starting point is medicine. A client of the hypnotist Sarah Breskman Cosme describes it like this.
Our medical technology is very similar evolutionarily, the path of becoming curious and opening bodies to understand how they work, leading to innovations in medical science.
A hypnotist's journey to Atlantis
The channeled book The Only Planet of Choice goes further. It says Atlantean surgeons could replace every vital organ.
"In Atlantean medicine it was possible to replace even the true heart and the true brain."
The Only Planet of Choice: Essential Briefings from Deep Space
Diana Cooper, a British author on angels and Atlantis, describes the next step in the late period.
Atlantis devolved, but even in their most dire times they rejected the idea of using fossil fuel because of the damage it would cause to the planet. However, in the darkest days they did clone, genetically modify, and implant people and plants.
Discover Atlantis
The Council of Nine material in The Only Planet of Choice tells the same story of medicine turning into experiments.
They also attempted, through their scientific knowledge and understanding, to genetically exchange creatures with soul-beings on Planet Earth through transplanting.
The Only Planet of Choice (Phyllis Schlemmer), ch. 11
Regressions on Atlantean hybrids
Dolores Cannon (1931 to 2014) was an American hypnotist who developed QHHT, Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique. On my page on The Convoluted Universe, Book One I summarise a session in which the subject says the Atlanteans were arrogant toward lower life forms. In my summary: “They would mutate animals and cause pain.”
On page 207 of the same book Cannon names two moral reasons for the fall of Atlantis: misuse of mind powers and attempts to rewrite genetics. I take that from my own notes on the book. I have not quoted her wording.
Her Convoluted Universe series also has sessions in which subjects recall Atlantean laboratories that made hybrid beings. The forms named are mermaids (half human, half fish), centaurs (half human, half horse) and minotaurs (half human, half bull). The experiments aimed at new life forms. The results were often unstable. I have not yet traced those sessions to a page number, so I give this as my summary, not as a quote.
Sarah Breskman Cosme reports the same theme from her own clients.
I have also had many clients recount losing their mutated children; most of the time they are reunited with those same children in this lifetime, but I understand that many people are here to clear this trauma. I have also had a few clients’ Subconscious explain that the residual effect of these mutated people is still flowing lightly within our genes.
The effects are very rare; however, some people are still born with gills, tails, and webbed feet, a result of these ancient experiments and not from an evolutionary mistake.
What is also interesting to me is the power of hearing or reading these stories. In the QHHT class in Miami many students in the class had similar experiences in their regressions, even some had strange and spontaneous healings from uncovering this lifetime.
Edgar Cayce
Edgar Cayce (1877 to 1945) was an American psychic who gave thousands of trance readings. In his Atlantis readings two groups clash. The Children of the Law of One follow one God. The Sons of Belial seek power and pleasure.
According to the readings, Atlantis had workers of mixed form, part human and part animal. The Sons of Belial called them “things”. The Children of the Law of One saw them as souls that could still develop. The “things” did the manual work. They were farmers, labourers and artisans.
Cayce’s summaries also say the hybrid forms included mermaids, satyrs and giants.
Reading 877-26 describes these workers and the quarrel over them.
“Those entities that were then the producers (as we would term today), or the labourers, the farmers or the artisans, or those who were in positions of what we would call in the present just machines, were those that were projections of the individual activity of the group. And it was over these then, and the relationships they bore to those that were in authority, that the difference arose.”
Edgar Cayce, Reading 877-26
The Children of the Law of One wanted to free the “things” and treat them as equals. The Sons of Belial were firmly against it.
Reading 2072-8 lists what these bodies carried.
“As has been indicated, in that particular experience there were still those who were physically entangled in the animal kingdom with appendages, with cloven-hooves, with four legs, with portions of trees, with tails, with scales, with those various things that thought forms (or evil) had so indulged in as to separate the purpose of God’s creation of man, as man – not as animal but as man. And the animal seeks only gratifying of self, the preservation of life, the satisfying of appetites.”
Edgar Cayce, Reading 2072-8
Reading 281-44 names the centaur form and the cure.
“Magnify this into the disturbances which were indicated, or illustrated in conditions where there was the body or figure of the horse, or the head of the horse with the body of man; or where there were the various conditions indicated in the expressions by the pushing of spirit into physical matter until it became influenced by or subject to same. Such influences we see in the present manifested as habits, or the habit-forming conditions. Then there are, or were the needs for the attempts to operate, as well as to adhere to diets and activities to change the natures of the individuals; that their offspring, as well as themselves, might bring forth that which was in keeping with—or a pattern of—those influences in which there were souls or spirits with the idea, or ideal, of seeking light. The Temple of Sacrifice; sacrificing self that the spirit, the purpose, the love of God might be made manifest through the individual.”
Edgar Cayce, Reading 281-44,
Cayce’s answer was a kind of temple medicine. In Egypt, under the priest Ra Ta, two temples worked on the body. Reading 281-25 describes the first.
In the Temple of Sacrifice there were the altars to cleanse the bodies of those things that hindered in body, that were emblematical of the source of the stumblingblock.
Edgar Cayce, Reading 281-25
Writers on the readings say this meant removing the tails, feathers and other appendages. The second temple, the Temple Beautiful, then kept the cleansed body pure. I describe the rituals on Regenerative ceremonies.
Other channeled and esoteric voices
Bashar is a source channeled by Darryl Anka since the 1980s. On mermaids and similar beings he says this.
"There have been some genetic creations that would be similar to that in Atlantean times that may have given rise to some of those legends."
Bashar
In his view mermaids are not a physical species on Earth. They belong to a nature-based, higher-dimensional reality that sometimes overlaps with ours. The legends may come from Atlantean genetic experiments. Sensitive people can sometimes perceive these beings.
Michael Tsarion argues in Atlantis, Alien Visitation and Genetic Manipulation (2002) that Atlantis was a colony of alien beings. On my page about him I write that he reads myths of gods, giants and serpent races as memories of those visitors. More on Michael Tsarion.
Oahspe (1882), a book its author John Ballou Newbrough said he received by automatic writing, describes mixing of a different kind. The I’huans emerge from the intermingling of I’hins with druks. This is mixing between human races, not with animals. More on The I’huan, I’hins, Druks, and Yaks.
Manetho, an Egyptian priest of the third century BC, is quoted by the church historian Eusebius on a race of monsters. I found the passage on the A.R.E. blog. It is a quote of a quote, so I treat it with care.
"...and they produced double-winged beings...and more people with legs of goats and horns on their heads...And others, cloven hoofed and more with horse bodies and human torsos...they have also wrought bull-headed men...and even other monsters...with manifold characters very different from each other...and many wonderful natures...whose images remain in the Temple of the Belos, one next to the other."
Manetho, via Eusebius

Djedi and the head that came back
Here the trail moves from trance to a papyrus. The Westcar Papyrus is kept in Berlin, in the Ägyptisches Museum, as P. 3033. The copy dates from about 1650 to 1550 BC. The story is set much earlier, at the court of Khufu, the king of the Great Pyramid.
Let me be plain. Westcar is a literary tale. It is a cycle of wonder stories told by Khufu’s sons. It is not a record of an event.
I read it in the translation by W. M. Flinders Petrie, Egyptian Tales, First Series (1895). It is on Project Gutenberg. Petrie spells the magician Dedi and Thoth Tahuti.
Prince Hordedef describes the magician to his father.
"He is a man of one hundred and ten years old; and he eats five hundred loaves of bread, and a side of beef, and drinks one hundred draughts of beer, unto this day. He knows how to restore the head that is smitten off..."
Westcar Papyrus, tr. Petrie 1895
Khufu wants a prisoner for the test. Djedi refuses.
"Let it not be a man, O king, my lord; behold we do not even thus to our cattle."
Westcar Papyrus, tr. Petrie 1895
The “cattle” here are people. Modern translators render the phrase as “the noble cattle”, meaning humankind as the god’s herd.
Then the demonstration.
"And a duck was brought unto him, and its head was cut off. And the duck was laid on the west side of the hall, and its head on the east side of the hall. And Dedi spake his magic speech. And the duck fluttered along the ground, and its head came likewise; and when it had come part to part the duck stood and quacked. And they brought likewise a goose before him, and he did even so unto it. His majesty caused an ox to be brought, and its head cast on the ground. And Dedi spake his magic speech. And the ox stood upright behind him, and followed him with his halter trailing on the ground."
Westcar Papyrus, tr. Petrie 1895
So there are three animals: a duck, a goose and an ox. Some modern translations put a goose first and a second waterfowl after it. The text gives no method, only “magic speech”.
The tale has a second thread. Khufu wants the plans of Thoth’s sanctuary.
"The majesty of the king of Upper and Lower Egypt, Khufu, the blessed, has long sought for the designs of the dwelling of Tahuti, that he may make the like of them in his pyramid."
Westcar Papyrus, tr. Petrie 1895
Djedi says the plans lie in a flint chest in a room in Heliopolis. Petrie himself notes that the translation of “designs” is not certain.
Where the layers meet
I see three meeting points.
The first is Thoth. In the Emerald Tablets, published by Doreal in the 1930s, Thoth is an Atlantean who came to Egypt and built the Great Pyramid. Cayce also links Thoth, or Hermes, to the Great Pyramid in the time of Ra Ta. In Westcar, Khufu wants Thoth’s secret plans for his own pyramid. More on Thoth.
The second is the body. Cayce’s temples took animal parts off human bodies. Djedi puts a head back on a body. Both are about restoring a body’s true form. One is temple medicine in a trance reading. The other is magic in a tale.
The third is the line between animals and people. The hybrid accounts are about crossing that line. Djedi refuses to cross it. He will work on birds and an ox, but not on a person. I read him as a keeper of an old rule. That is my reading, not the papyrus.
The same motif in the Americas
The Popol Vuh is the sacred book of the K’iche’ Maya of Guatemala. It was written down in the sixteenth century. In it the Hero Twins, Hunahpu and Xbalanque, go down to Xibalba, the underworld. Hunahpu’s head is cut off by a bat and later restored.
After their own death and return, the twins perform wonders before the lords of Xibalba. Lewis Spence summarises the scene in The Popol Vuh (1908), on archive.org.
"...killing and resuscitating the king's dog, and cutting a man in pieces, and bringing him to life again."
Lewis Spence, The Popol Vuh, 1908
The lords then ask to be killed and revived. The twins kill them and do not bring them back. Like Djedi, the twins perform before rulers, and they choose whom to restore. More on my Popol Vuh page.
The Seneca, one of the Iroquois nations, tell of an uncle who takes a body apart and puts it together again. Jeremiah Curtin recorded it in Seneca Indian Myths (1923), on archive.org, in the story “Speaker and Definer”.
"After the bones had been cleaned the old man put them in place again, then, saying, 'Be ready!' he blew through his hands on to the skull of the skeleton. The force of the blowing sent the skeleton a long distance, but again it was a man. This was the way in which each man had to be purified."
Seneca Indian Myths, Curtin 1923
Note the word “purified”. The body is taken apart to be cleansed, then restored. That is close to Cayce’s Temple of Sacrifice.
In other Seneca stories in the same book, heroes pile up the bones of the dead and push a tree over them. The bones rise as living men.
The Navajo give a darker echo. Navajo traditional teachings describe the Anasazi as cruel rulers who kept slaves behind walls. According to these teachings, Anasazi pottery mocked the Holy People. The pottery claimed “they could take the heart from one dog and put it into another dog, with both dogs surviving”. That is a transplant story, told as a sign of arrogance. The source is the video The Anasazi.
Centaurs and minotaurs
Two hybrid forms run through this whole page. The centaur is half human and half horse. The minotaur is half human and half bull. Cayce names the first in reading 281-44. Cannon’s subjects name both. Manetho lists men with horse bodies and bull-headed men. Greek myth kept both as monsters.
What I take from it
The regressions and readings say Atlantean medicine went too far. The papyrus and the American stories remember people who could restore a body, and who knew when not to. I cannot prove a link. I can show that the motif is old, wide and close in its details.
