The Hindoos had twelve primal gods, "the Aditya." Moses erected twelve pillars at Sinai.
But it seems that these ancient divinities are grouped together as "the Aditya;" and in this name "Ad-itya" we find a strong likeness to the Semitic "Adites," and another reminiscence of Atlantis, or Adlantis.
The gods who are grouped together as the Aditya are the most ancient in the Hindoo mythology.
The Aditya "are elevated above all imperfections; they do not sleep or wink." The Greeks represented their gods as equally wakeful and omniscient.
The sun is sometimes addressed as an Aditya.
Among the Aditya is Varuna, the equivalent of Uranos, whose identification with Atlantis I have shown.
The Aditya represent an earlier and purer form of religion: "While in hymns to the other deities long: life, wealth, power, are the objects commonly prayed for, of the Aditya is craved purity, forgiveness of sin, freedom from guilt, and repentance." ("Oriental and Linguistic Studies," p.
The Aditya, like the Adites, are identified with the doctrine of the immortality of the soul.
In view of all these facts, one cannot doubt that the legends of the "sons of Ad," "the Adites," and "the Aditya," all refer to Atlantis.
The Adityas are the sons of Aditi, the primordial mother goddess, and Kashyapa, a sage and progenitor of many beings.
Aditi is considered the mother of the gods, and the Adityas are among her most significant offspring.
Traditionally, there are twelve Adityas, each associated with a specific month of the Hindu calendar.
Vishnu: In some traditions, also considered one of the Adityas, representing the preserver of the universe.
Both the Adityas and Atlantean kings are portrayed as divine or semi-divine beings associated with cosmic or natural order, reflecting common themes in mythology where celestial or supernatural entities influence the world.
Last I set the Hindu Adityas beside the list as a labeled parallel.
Hindu tradition often names twelve Adityas.
Critias does not name the Adityas.
How does this help Atlantis research?I use Plato’s dynasty as the named spine, then Matias’s twelve-family / portal trail as paleo-contact, then the Adityas as a labeled cross-myth parallel.
Aditya: In Hindu mythology, the Aditya are ancient solar deities, sons of Aditi, representing purity and righteousness.
Solar Worship: The Aditya's solar association resonates with the sun-worshipping practices attributed to the Atlanteans.
