108.) Here we have, not an inhabitant of Atlantis, but probably a representative of one of the mixed races that sprung from its colonies.
Where can we find them save in that people of Atlantis, whose ships, docks, canals, and commerce provoked the astonishment of the ancient Egyptians, as recorded by Plato.
The Toltec root for water is Atl; the Peruvian word for copper is Anti (from which, probably, the Andes derived their name, as there was a province of Anti on their slopes): may it not be that the name of Atlantis is derived from these originals, and signified the copper island, or the copper mountains in the sea?
Or, if we are to seek for the source of the vast amount of copper brought into Europe somewhere else than in Atlantis, may it not be that these supplies were drawn in large part from the shores of Lake Superior in America?
A continuous water-way led, from the island of Atlantis to the Gulf of Mexico, and thence up the Mississippi River and its tributaries almost to these very mines of Lake Superior.
We will find the knowledge of bronze wherever the colonies of Atlantis extended, and nowhere else; and Plato tells us that the people of Atlantis possessed and used that metal.
We shall find, as we proceed, that the Phœnicians were unquestionably identified with Atlantis, and that it was probably from Atlantis they derived their god Baal, or Bel, or El, whose name crops out in the Bel of the Babylonians, the Elohim, and the Beelzebub of the Jews, and the Allah of the Arabians, And we find that this great deity, whose worship extended so widely among the Mediterranean races, was known and adored also upon the northern and western coasts of Europe.
The second knife represented above has upon its handle a wheel, or cross surrounded by a ring, which, we shall see here after, was pre-eminently the symbol of Atlantis.
If we are satisfied that these implements of bronze were the work of the artisans of Atlantis--of the antediluvians--they must acquire additional and extraordinary interest in our eyes, and we turn to them to earn something of the habits and customs of "that great, original, broad-eyed, sunken race."
There were, we are told, ten sub-kingdoms in Atlantis; and precisely as the thirteen stripes on the American flag symbolize the thirteen original States of the Union, so the recurrence of the figure ten in the emblems upon
The copper mines of the Basques were extensively worked at a very early age of the world, either by the people of Atlantis or by the Basques themselves, a colony from Atlantis.
We have but to look at our map on page 43, ante, to see that Atlantis was considerably nearer to Ireland than it was to Italy.
What race was there, other than the people of Atlantis, that existed before the Iron Age-before the Greek, Roman, Etruscan, and Phœnician--that was civilized, that worked in metals, that carried on a commerce with all parts of Europe?
These, then, in conclusion, are our reasons for believing that the Bronze Age of Europe has relation to Atlantis:
We shall see hereafter that the mythological traditions of Greece referred to a Bronze Age which preceded an Iron Age, and placed this in the land of the gods, which was an island in the Atlantic Ocean, beyond the Pillars of Hercules; and this land was, as we shall see, clearly Atlantis.
The conversation began by discussing the widespread fascination with Atlantis.
Atlantis has become an umbrella term used to describe various ancient mysteries.
The challenge, however, is that academic rebuttals often limit the idea of Atlantis to its mention in Plato’s dialogues, where there is no reference to the New World.
The discussion begins by acknowledging that the story of Atlantis originates from Plato's dialogues, specifically "Timaeus" and "Critias." These texts describe Atlantis as a powerful, advanced civilization that existed about 9,000 years before Plato's time.
However, from an academic perspective, there is no concrete evidence to support the existence of Atlantis in the New World or anywhere else in history.
Despite its specific origins in Plato's work, Atlantis has become a broader term used to encompass a variety of mysterious and ancient civilizations.
Atlantis is often seen as a symbol for all lost cultures and unexplained historical phenomena, rather than a single, identifiable place.
The Olmecs, often referred to as the "mother culture" of Mesoamerica, are discussed as a potential parallel to the idea of Atlantis.
This gave them wealth and power, which is comparable to the descriptions of Atlantis in Plato's texts as an advanced and wealthy society.
This economy, based on trade and production, mirrors some of the attributes of Atlantis described by Plato.
This ties into theories about Atlantis, where the civilization is often described as possessing great knowledge of astronomy and engineering.
The only thing demonstrated in this section is the evolution of the alphabet in the Old World, which has no bearing on the question of Atlantis--jbh]
208.) "The gods" were, doubtless, their highly civilized ancestors--the people of Atlantis--who, as we shall hereafter see, became the gods of many of the Mediterranean races.
This is in the alphabet of the Mayas, the ancient people of the peninsula of Yucatan, who claim that their civilization came to them across the sea in ships from the east, that is, from the direction of Atlantis.
It may be said that it is improbable that the use of an alphabet could have ascended to antediluvian times, or to that prehistoric age when intercourse existed between ancient Europe and America; but it must be remembered that if the Flood legends of Europe and Asia are worth anything they prove that the art of writing existed at the date of the Deluge, and that records of antediluvian learning were preserved by those who escaped the Flood; while Plato tells us that the people of Atlantis engraved their laws upon columns of bronze and plates of gold.
I have shown that the story of the Deluge plainly refers to the destruction of Atlantis, and that it agrees in many important particulars with the account given by Plato.
Both legends were probably derived from Atlantis, and referred to some gigantic structure of great height built by that people; and when the story emigrated to the east and west, it was in the one case affixed to the tower of the Chaldeans, and in the other to the pyramid of Cholula, precisely as we find the ark of the Deluge resting upon separate mountain-chains all the way from Greece to Armenia.
We must seek it in the relationship of the Jews to the family of Noah, and in the identity of the Noachic race destroyed in the Deluge with the people of the drowned Atlantis.
William Tell never existed; he is a myth; a survival of the sun-god Apollo, Indra, who was worshipped on the altars of Atlantis.
It was probably in Atlantis that monotheism was first preached.
The proverbs of "Ptah-hotep," the oldest book of the Egyptians, show that this most ancient colony from Atlantis received the pure faith from the mother-land at the very dawn of history: this book preached the doctrine of one God, "the rewarder of the good and the punisher of the wicked." (Reginald S.
If the Spirit of which the universe is but an expression--of whose frame the stars are the infinite molecules--can be supposed ever to interfere with the laws of matter and reach down into the doings of men, would it not be to save from the wreck and waste of time the most sublime fruit of the civilization of the drowned Atlantis--a belief in the one, only, just God, the father of all life, the imposer of all moral obligations?
Theopompus tells us that the people who inhabited Atlantis were the Meropes, the people of Merou.
Plato tells us that Atlantis and the Atlantic Ocean were named after Atlas, the eldest son of Poseidon, the founder of the kingdom.
of Atlantis we find a chain of mountains, known from the most ancient times as the Atlas Mountains.
Whence this name Atlas, if it be not from the name of the great king of Atlantis?
An "Atlas" mountain on the shore of Africa; an "Atlan" town on the shore of America; the "Atlantes" living along the north and west coast of Africa; an Aztec people from Aztlan, in Central America; an ocean rolling between the two worlds called the "Atlantic;" a mythological deity called "Atlas" holding the world on his shoulders; and an immemorial tradition of an island of Atlantis.
Plato says that there was a "passage west from Atlantis to the rest of the islands, as well as from these islands to the whole opposite continent that surrounds that real sea." He calls it a real sea, as contradistinguished from the Mediterranean, which, as he says, is not a real sea (or ocean) but a landlocked body of water, like a harbor.
Now, Plato might have created Atlantis out of his imagination; but how could he have invented the islands beyond (the West India Islands), and the whole continent (America) enclosing that real sea?
If there had been no Atlantis, and no series of voyages from it that revealed
And how could he have known that the Mediterranean was only a harbor compared with the magnitude of the great ocean surrounding Atlantis?
How can we, without Atlantis, explain the presence of the Basques in Europe, who have no lingual affinities with any other race on the continent of Europe, but whose language is similar to the languages of America?
Plato tells us that the dominion of Gadeirus, one of the kings of Atlantis, extended "toward the pillars of Heracles (Hercules) as far as the country which is still called the region of Gades in that part of the world." Gades is the Cadiz of today, and the dominion of Gadeirus embraced the land of the Iberians or Basques, their chief city taking its name from a king of Atlantis, and they themselves being Atlanteans.
If there was an Atlantis, forming, with its connecting ridges, a continuous bridge of land from America to Africa, we can understand how the Basques could have passed from one continent to another; but if the wide Atlantic rolled at all times unbroken
Without Atlantis, how can we explain the fact that the early Egyptians were depicted by themselves as red men on their own monuments?
As the negroes have never been a sea-going race, the presence of these faces among the antiquities of Central America proves one of two things, either the existence of a land connection between America and Africa via Atlantis, as revealed by the deep-sea soundings of the Challenger, or commercial relations between America and Africa through the ships of the Atlanteans
547.) How did the red men of Central America know anything about "black men and white men?" The conclusion seems inevitable that these legends of a primitive, peaceful, and happy land, an Aztlan in the East, inhabited by black and white men, to which all the civilized nations of America traced their origin, could only refer to Atlantis--that bridge of land where the white, dark, and red races met.
The Mediterranean is a cul de sac, with Atlantis opposite its mouth.
Every civilization on its shores possesses traditions that point to Atlantis.
Without the thousands of years of development which were had in Atlantis modern civilization could not have existed.
The inventive faculty of the present age is taking up the great delegated work of creation where Atlantis left it thousands of years ago.
How are we to explain the existence of the Semitic race in Europe without Atlantis?
Was this done in the past on the island of Atlantis?
If, then, it should appear that among the races which we claim were descended from Atlantis this practice of embalming the dead is found, and nowhere else, we have certainly furnished evidence which can only be explained by admitting the existence of Atlantis, and of some great religious race dwelling on Atlantis, who believed in the immortality of soul and body, and who embalmed their dead.
That the Egyptians, the oldest colony of Atlantis, embalmed their dead in such vast multitudes that they are
Is it possible to account for this singular custom, reaching through a belt of nations, and completely around the habitable world, without Atlantis?
402.) The ancients always alluded to the ocean as a river encircling the earth, as in the map of Cosmos (see page 95 ante); probably a reminiscence of the great canal described by Plato which surrounded the plain of Atlantis.
Plato surrounds the great statue of Poseidon in Atlantis with the images of one hundred Nereids.
All this reminds us of "the fountains of the great deep and the flood-gates of heaven," and seems to repeat precisely the story of Plato as to the sinking of Atlantis in the ocean.
The Abbé Brasseur de Bourbourg, in one of the notes of the Introduction of the "Popol Vuh," presents a very remarkable analogy between the kingdom of Xibalba, described in that work, and Atlantis.
The empire of Atlantis was divided into ten kingdoms, governed by five couples of twin sons of Poseidon, the eldest being supreme over the others; and the ten constituted a tribunal that managed the affairs of the empire.
Coming from Atlantis, they named their first landing-place Antlan.
and Saturn; and, in turn, it may be supposed that the wheel of Kronos was simply the cross of Atlantis, surrounded by its encircling ring.
Agriculture.--The people of Atlantis were pre-eminently an agricultural people; so were the civilized nations of America and the Egyptians.
If our knowledge of Atlantis was more thorough, it would no doubt appear that, in every instance wherein the people of Europe accord with the people of America, they were both in accord with the people of Atlantis; and that Atlantis was the common centre from which both peoples derived their arts, sciences, customs, and opinions.
It will be seen that in every case where Plato gives us any information in this respect as to Atlantis, we find this agreement to exist.
I shall undertake to show hereafter that nearly all the arts essential to civilization which we possess date back to the time of Atlantis--certainly to that ancient Egyptian civilization which was coeval with, and an outgrowth from, Atlantis.
In six thousand years the world made no advance on the civilization which it received from Atlantis.
And its work has but commenced: it will continue until it lifts man to a plane as much higher than the present as the present is above the barbaric condition; and in the future it will be said that between the birth of civilization in Atlantis and the new civilization there stretches a period of many thousands of years, during which mankind did not invent, but simply perpetuated.
We shall attempt to show that it matured in Atlantis, and that the Egyptian people were unable to maintain it at the high standard at which they had received it, as depicted in the pages of Plato.
There are two great divisions of mankind, the civilized and the savage; and, as we shall show, every civilized race in the world has had something of civilization from the earliest ages; and as "all roads lead to Rome," so all the converging lines of civilization lead to Atlantis.
The Roman civilization was simply a development and perfection of the civilization possessed by all the European populations; it was drawn from the common fountain of Atlantis.
If it required of mankind a lapse of at least six thousand years before it began anew the work of invention, and took up the thread of original thought where Atlantis dropped it, what probability is there of three or four separate nations all advancing at the same speed to precisely the same arts and opinions?
The Fountains of the Great Deep.--As Atlantis perished in a volcanic convulsion, it must have possessed volcanoes.
If, then, the mountains of Atlantis contained volcanoes, of which the peaks of the Azores are the surviving representatives, it is not improbable that the convulsion which drowned it in the sea was accompanied by great discharges of water.
In the island of Dominica, one of the islands constituting the Leeward group of the West Indies, and nearest to the site of Atlantis, on the 4th of January, 1880, occurred a series of convulsions which reminds us forcibly of the destruction of Plato's island; and the similarity extends to another particular: Dominica contains, like Atlantis, we are told, numerous
If we suppose the destruction of Atlantis to have been, in like manner, accompanied by a tremendous outpour of water from one or more of its volcanoes, thrown to a great height, and deluging the land, we can understand the description in the Chaldean legend of "the terrible water-spout," which even "the gods grew afraid of," and which "rose to the sky," and which seems to have been one of the chief causes, together with the earthquake, of the destruction of the country.
The Mountains of the North.--We have in Plato the following reference to the mountains of Atlantis:
In the Hindoo legend we find the fish-god, who represents Poseidon, father of Atlantis, helping Manu over "the Mountain of the North." In the Chaldean legend Khasisatra's vessel is stopped by "the Mountain of Nizir" until the sea goes down.
The Mud which Stopped Navigation.--We are told by Plato, "Atlantis disappeared beneath the sea, and then that sea became inaccessible, so that navigation on it ceased, on account of the quantity of mud which the ingulfed island left in its place." This is one of the points of Plato's story which provoked the incredulity and ridicule of the ancient, and even of the modern, world.
The explorations of the ship Challenger show that the whole of the submerged ridge of which Atlantis is a part is to this day thickly covered with volcanic débris.
They returned terrified to the shores of Europe; and the shock inflicted by the destruction of Atlantis upon the civilization of the world probably led to one of those retrograde periods in the history of our race in which they lost all intercourse with the Western continent.
Are we to find the original of these legends in the following passage from Plato's history of Atlantis?
We know that the land from which America and Europe were formed once covered nearly or quite the whole space now occupied by the Atlantic between the continents; and it is reasonable to believe that it went down piecemeal, and that Atlantis was but the stump of the ancient continent, which at last perished from the same causes and in the same way.
The people of Atlantis,
The cause of these similarities can be easily explained: the legends of the Flood did not pass into America by way of the Aleutian Islands, or through the Buddhists of Asia, but were derived from an actual knowledge of Atlantis possessed by the people of America.
Atlantis and the western continent had from an immemorial age held intercourse with each other: the great nations of America were simply colonies from Atlantis, sharing in its civilization, language, religion, and blood.
From Mexico to the peninsula of Yucatan, from the shores of Brazil to the heights of Bolivia and Peru, from the Gulf of Mexico to the head-waters of the Mississippi River, the colonies of Atlantis
Here we note a remarkable approximation to Plato's account of the destruction of Atlantis.
Does not this describe the fate of Atlantis?
It seems to me certain the above are simply two versions of the same event; that while ships from Atlantis carried terrified passengers to tell the story of the dreadful catastrophe to the people of the Mediterranean shores, other ships, flying from the tempest, bore similar awful tidings to the civilized races around the Gulf of Mexico.
These things seem to be reminiscences of their origin in Atlantis.
In the legends of the Chibchas of Bogota we seem to have distinct reminiscences of Atlantis.
The Toltecs traced their migrations back to a starting-point called "Aztlan," or "Atlan." This could be no other than, Atlantis.
This legend not only points to the East as the place of origin of these races, but also proves that this land of the East, this Aztlan, this Atlantis, exercised dominion over the colonies in Central America, and furnished them with the essentials of civilization.
How completely does this agree with the statement of Plato that the kings of Atlantis held dominion over parts of "the great opposite continent!"
Here we note that they looked "toward the rising sun"--toward Atlantis--for the original home of their race; that this
We will see reason hereafter to conclude that Atlantis had a composite population, and that the rebellion of the Titans in Greek mythology was the rising up of a subject population.
which refers plainly to the destruction of Atlantis, and to the arrival of one of those who escaped from the Flood, bringing the dreadful tidings of the disaster.
not," says Catlin, who knew nothing of an Atlantis theory, "think it best to advance anything against such a ridiculous belief." Catlin tried to purchase one of these water-sacks, but could not obtain it for any price; he was told they were "a society property."
Could anything be more evident than the connection of these ceremonies with the destruction of Atlantis?
Here we have, too, the four quarters of Atlantis, divided by its four rivers, as we shall see a little farther on, represented in a dance, where the dancers arrange themselves according to the four cardinal points of the compass; the dancers are painted to represent the black and red races, while "the first and only man" represents the white race; and the name of the dance is a reminiscence of Baal, the ancient god of the races derived from Atlantis.
The Mandans were evidently of the race of Atlantis.
But the recurrence of "white men" as the miners, and of a white man as "the last and only man," and the presence of white blood in the veins of the people, all point to the same conclusion--that the Mandans were colonists from Atlantis.
When the morning broke there was nothing to be seen alive but one man--if indeed be were a man; Szeu-kha, the son of the Creator, had saved himself by floating on a ball of gum or resin." This instantaneous catastrophe reminds one forcibly of the destruction of Atlantis.
The references to "the three worlds" and the "fish-god" in these legends point to Atlantis.
The "three worlds" probably refers to the great empire of Atlantis, described by Plato, to wit, the western continent, America, the eastern continent, Europe and Africa, considered as one, and the island of Atlantis.
As we have seen, Poseidon, the founder of the civilization of Atlantis, is identical with Neptune, who is always represented riding a dolphin, bearing a trident, or three-pronged symbol, in his hand, emblematical probably of the triple kingdom.
This clearly signifies that, prior to the destruction of Atlantis, a colony had been sent out to some neighboring country.
These emigrants built a walled town, and brought to it the grains and domestic animals of the mother country; and when the island of Atlantis sunk in the ocean, a messenger brought the terrible tidings to them in a ship.
In this legend, also, there are passages which point to Atlantis.
We will see hereafter that the Greek god Zeus was one of the kings of Atlantis.
It will be observed that in all these legends the name of Zeus, King of Atlantis, reappears.
396), "to which the story of Atlantis refers, seems to have given rise to the Panathenæ, the oldest, greatest, and most splendid festivals in honor of Athena celebrated in Attica.
The inhabitants of the latter had preserved a recollection (transmitted to them by their ancestors) of the island of Atlantis, which was extremely large, and for a long time held sway over all the islands of the Atlantic Ocean.
Atlantis was also consecrated to Neptune."' (See Humboldt's "Histoire de la Géographie du Nouveau Continent," vol.
We have seen that at Athens and at Hierapolis, in Syria, pilgrims came from a distance to appease the god of the earthquake, by pouring offerings into fissures of the earth said to have been made at the time Atlantis was destroyed.
Now we have seen that, according to Theopompus, one of the names of the people of Atlantis was "Meropes."
The Egyptians had preserved in their annals the precise history of the destruction of Atlantis, out of which the Flood legends grew; and, as they told the Greeks, there had been no universal flood, but only local catastrophes.
Possessing the real history of the local catastrophe which destroyed Atlantis, they did not indulge in any myths about a universal deluge covering the mountain-tops of all the world.
quarter of the world in which Atlantis was situated.
We will see hereafter that the Hebrews and their Flood legend are closely connected with the Phœnicians, whose connection with Atlantis is established in many ways.
or Australia--but Atlantis.
It will be more and more evident as we proceed in the consideration of the Flood legends of other nations, that the Antediluvian World was none other than Atlantis.
and we shall see that all these traditions point unmistakably to the destruction of Atlantis.
Plato identifies "the great deluge of all" with the destruction of Atlantis.
The priest of Sais told Solon that before "the great deluge of all" Athens possessed a noble race, who performed many noble deeds, the last and greatest of which was resisting the attempts of Atlantis to subjugate them; and after this came the destruction of Atlantis, and the same great convulsion which overwhelmed that island destroyed a number of the Greeks.
The first part of this series involves a wide-ranging interview conducted by her husband with Morna, addressing various topics such as the Andromedan Council, time constructs in Andromeda, intergalactic relations, and ancient civilizations like Atlantis and Lemuria.
Morna contrasts this with Atlantis, which, driven by power and greed, experienced its own self-destruction.
While Lemuria existed before Atlantis, both civilizations had advanced technology, including particle beams and laser technology, and were capable of intergalactic travel.
In this channeling, Ezekiel discusses Earth's seeding and its ancient history before Lemuria and Atlantis.
He explains that Earth's seeding took place long before the time of Lemuria and Atlantis.
Over time, this group expanded, and ships from Atlantis arrived to observe the progress.
Italia reflects on the session, particularly Ezekiel's reference to Atlantis predating Lemuria.
She wonders if there might have been an earlier version of Atlantis in another galaxy, or whether time itself is nonlinear.
Erik discusses the history and legends surrounding Atlantis, extraterrestrial involvement, ancient civilizations, and lost technologies, referencing the book The Cave of the Ancients by T.
After the catastrophe, scattered survivors told stories of Lemuria, Atlantis, and a day when the sun stood still.
Plato, also channeled, supports the accuracy of his manuscripts regarding Atlantis, noting they were based on factual stories he had heard.
He serves as a moral supporter in this session, verifying the connection between Atlantis and his own writings.
Erik explains that extraterrestrials played a significant role in helping ancient civilizations, including Atlantis, build their advanced technologies.
The pyramids around the world, including in Atlantis, were used for communication, powered by astrology, solar energy, and lunar cycles.
The bomb that destroyed Atlantis was not detonated intentionally, but it had a strength ten times that of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Telepathic communication was prevalent in Atlantis, not only among humans but also with animals and other beings.
This time, they will not allow the same level of destruction that befell Atlantis.
Erik, along with the Atlantean woman and Plato, continue to offer insights into the lost civilization of Atlantis, its technologies, and the involvement of extraterrestrials in human history.
The channelers mention that the world underwent significant changes during the destruction of Atlantis.
The session concludes with gratitude to the channeled figures and a reminder to visit Atlantis Scalar for more information on energy work and DNA activation.
They continue their discussion on Atlantis, with Erik providing assistance, as well as potential input from Atlantean representatives.
However, the family structures in Atlantis were complex, involving inter-family relations, which were necessary for societal functions.
The representatives confirm that Atlantis was supported by two alien races, including Pleiadians and another race with a name starting with "V".
These extraterrestrials aided Atlantis in its technological advancements.
The reptilians abducted humans and Pleiadian hybrids for experiments, leading to the eventual downfall of Atlantis.
Healing in Atlantis relied on individuals with natural abilities, similar to modern-day Reiki practitioners.
Atlantis was governed by a council of beings with both human and extraterrestrial ancestry.
The representatives explain that the roots of modern racism are intertwined with the division and hybridization that occurred in Atlantis.
She mentions that this is part four of the Atlantis series and that the discussion will focus on the Toba explosion.
Erik confirms that approximately 70,000 years ago, drilling into the Earth’s core was happening in various parts of the world, including Atlantis.
Erik explains that the drilling occurred in multiple locations, not just in Atlantis.
The technology had a nuclear aspect to it, allowing for deep drilling, but modern drills can reach far deeper than those from Atlantis.
Atlantis, in particular, experienced three days of severe earthquakes, followed by a large implosion beneath the Earth’s crust.
The bunker was located in Atlantis and was destroyed along with the city.
Part five of the series will continue the discussion, addressing further questions about Atlantis and its destruction.
In this session, Ginger Bayley channels Erik and the Pleiadians as they continue discussing the events surrounding the destruction of Atlantis, the Toba explosion, and the aftermath.
This session covers topics such as the remnants of ancient technology, the fate of Atlantis, the survival of humanity, and the presence of extraterrestrial beings who monitor Earth's development.
The discussion starts with a question about the location of a bunker that imploded during the fall of Atlantis.
The cataclysm led to a polar shift and widespread destruction, including the sinking of Atlantis.
The destruction of Atlantis and the associated events are said to be recorded in the geological record.
The discussion emphasizes that God does not wish to repeat the events of Atlantis, and that humanity has the potential to evolve and thrive with the guidance of divine and extraterrestrial beings.
When asked about Atlantis, Erik shares that the location of this lost civilization is currently a desert area.
Ginger discusses her long-standing interest in Atlantis, despite never having researched it.
She reveals that many aspects of her life, such as her company's name and the name of her boat, were linked to Atlantis.
There were higher vibrational beings, what we would call angels, present during the time of Atlantis.
Many people living today have roots in Atlantis, especially those drawn to healing work.
There are also beings, descendants of Atlantis, living inside the Earth, including under Mount Shasta.
Atlantis once had connections to various regions, including America and Spain.
Today, Atlantis is viewed as an energetic realm rather than a physical location, and individuals can connect with its energy to help empower themselves.
Descendants of Atlantis are said to live under Mount Shasta, but not in a way that could be physically excavated.
The downfall of Atlantis was attributed to greed and the misuse of advanced technology.
Many ancient sages and teachers around the world were survivors of Atlantis or had connections to it.
These beings carried forward the knowledge from Atlantis and spread it to other parts of the world.
Along with Erik and guest Courtney Dillon, they explore further details about Atlantis, its origins, and the beings involved in its creation.
There were various extraterrestrial beings, including the Sirians, who contributed to the formation of Atlantis.
Many beings from Sirius had a significant influence on Atlantis, which can still be observed today on Earth.
The initial concept of Atlantis was to create colonies representing "Heaven on Earth." These places were meant to be peaceful, harmonious, and aligned with the Galactic Federation.
Atlantis is believed to have existed in the Atlantic Ocean.
While there was a physical location, Atlantis also had an energetic component that can still be accessed today.
Connecting with the energy of Atlantis could provide insight into personal origins and purpose.
One theory states that Atlantis was destroyed by asteroid fragments over time, though Erik describes an explosion as a significant event in the civilization's fall.
The stone spheres found in Costa Rica have a connection to Atlantis.
Atlantis did not collapse all at once.
Many of the technologies and sciences seen today, such as artificial intelligence and genetic research, were already present in Atlantis.
Survivors of Atlantis spread across the globe.
It is believed that modern technology, such as Google Maps, may uncover remnants of Atlantis.
Infighting and greed became rampant among the tribes of Atlantis.
Egos and the desire for power caused an imbalance that ultimately contributed to Atlantis' destruction.
The exploration of Atlantis, its origins, and the beings involved provides valuable insights into this ancient civilization and its ongoing influence on the world today.
Robert Sepehr begins by discussing the legendary city of Atlantis, as described by the Greek philosopher Plato.
According to Plato, Atlantis was a prosperous city, rich in natural resources and lush vegetation.
Zeus, seeing their corruption, gave Atlantis to Poseidon, and the city was eventually swallowed by the sea.
The Egyptians preserved the memory of Atlantis in their temples.
Sepehr notes that Plato died before completing his descriptions of Atlantis, leaving much of the story unfinished.
According to Plutarch, Plato had ambitious plans for the Atlantis narrative but could not finish them before his death.
Atlantis was described as being ruled by a confederation of kings, with its influence extending over Libya to Egypt and Europe as far as Tuscany.
By the time of the great war of the gods, which marked Atlantis's fall, the once-great society had become morally corrupt.
He suggests that this genetic hybridization may be what Plato referred to when describing the decline of Atlantis due to admixture with mortals.
This is a novel of Atlantis, written as a channeled message from a disembodied sage named 'Selestor.' Selestor recounts the history of Atlantis, from its rise to its destruction, thousands of years ago.
Atlantis, "the submerged island," some speak of it as a continent, which for unnumbered generations has been considered a myth, must now be accepted by fair-minded archeologists and other scientists as a proven fact that such an island at one time did exist.
The wonderful amount of material, especially fossils of different kinds, relating to the island of Atlantis that were gathered by the Schliemanns, father and son, noted archeologists who devoted their lives to proving that such an island really did once exist.
In his majestic and poetical language Selestor, to whom we are indebted for the contents of this book, has pictured for us the highly civilized state of Atlantis’ inhabitants, that in several sciences were even farther advanced than our nation is today, especially in mentonomy—a study of the mind.
Atlantis was once a speck blown on the ocean's waves, a spot upon the foam, a floating nut that gathered to itself still other flotsam through the aeons gone and grew as all hath grown.
And thus had grown Atlantis off the Western coast of Africa one long day's rowing if the winds were fair and waves beat not.
The people of Atlantis, question ye?
The men of old Atlantis held the form of men today, save that the skull did thicker bone growth show and slanting was each forehead.
Atlantis first was peopled by the sons of they who drifted, but through the centuries came an alien horde, and yet the Government observed the purity of strain and none held power save those born on the isle, or when a custom held, by few observed, of taking foreign offspring if it pleased the mood or sight and giving birthright.
The traders lived apart if alien to Atlantis, such there were in numbers; a people none did love save their own kind.
In this king's day the number of the statemen grew and many thronged the hall where justice held her sway, and kingdoms far learned well the power of him who sat upon Atlantis’ throne.
Thus we speak: "Seven thousand years Atlantis throve in government." Yea, fully.
Broad subjects were discussed amidst the making of Atlantis’ laws, as the Creation—all the laws of growth enlarged upon—expelling of the water from the clouds and Spring and Harvest time were brought to mind.
The idea of the pyramid was born not in Atlantis.
The pyramids were builded from model from afar, nor in Atlantis rose the shape; there round obtained in form, a pretext for much chiselling and caught the fancy of the builders there.
From other land the pyramids; from "Yucatan" a land that rose and fell in government for centuries before Atlantis reared above the sea a mark of civilization.
Unto Atlantis came the sons of Yucatan—in truth as spoilers first, but later stayed to so convert—and did become the citizens who always caused much agitation; in the army, navy, all adown the line where ran their blood.
Nor would Atlantis bear the structure-pyramid.
And when the day had come that, at command, a tomb was builded for a monarch old, rose he—the son of sons of him who from Atlantis came—and builded as desired through help of chosen ones who studied so complete the hints obtained from him—descendant of old Yucatan and foster child of lost Atlantis’ shore.
And this the land that gave Atlantis foes, or allies, when her navy grew so great it were defeat to seek her, warring, on the sea.
Atlantis made her boast that none might build her temples mighty.
Aye, emeralds the men had brought even from Atlantis; globes whose worth meant fortunes for each owner journeying, but so sacred they that none dared barter for the gold each saw yet dared not gain at risk of ruined life.
Within these temple cells lie buried, pillar’d o’er, such sheets of metal as had known the fire of old Atlantis’ smiths, who beat so thin the weight was naught, a scroll that tooth of Time eats.
Yea, O Mine Own, the early races of old Yucatan—"Mayans" ye call—had there dwelt long ere peopled was Atlantis, and from the "Orient" came they—subtle souls who knew of "Ur" and "Babylon"—in later day and came unto the wilds of Yucatan through stress of famine not but stress of war.
Nay, mine own, Atlantis was not peopled when the monuments to greatness first rose on soil of Yucatan, vast mansions first builded in the mind of them who years before had watched the growth of other palaces, and so designed to build still greater far those habitations and made a mock of greatness borne in minds long passed from bodies.
Yea, warriors came from lands afar unto Atlantis.
Atlantis knew the grace of music; builded instruments to catch the notes of Nature; of that subtle music of the spheres which gross ears attuned to jarring sounds of Earth may never hear, but builded so completely were those harps of metal frame and silken cords, bound down the finest crystal which quivered at a stroke of the magnetic ether so that a tone from out the "silence" came and smote the ear of listener till his soul was all attuned to higher music, drunk by those around the throne of God, ye speak.
Aye, skilled were they—the sons of old Atlantis in all arts.
They of Atlantis read by subtle thought cast out and seldom read amiss; and we of Egypt caught a glimmer here, a memory there, of what our sires did know; yet not all the knowledge which men of that sunk land did glean, for war and pillage cursed my land till fled the higher science.
I wander from Atlantis to that land whose glory passed, as passeth fleeting cloud, where naught save alien force exists today to typify the power that ruled the world!
Atlantis?
Aye, Atlantis was our theme; broad isle that held the shrubs of Africa and, later from the land ye name as "Asia"—land of balm and subtle spice.
Atlantis held the sons of self-taught sages; sages taught to read by introspection all which met the eye, and from the silent voice that filleth "space" they caught the meaning of the planet laws—of people on the ether planes—of growth made sure by scientific rule and keenest insight born of observation of each small detail and taught the secret unto others.
At first the tongue Atlantis spake was barbarous, crude, the accent of the ignorant who ne’er had looked upon a written page.
Many lands thus lent their methods to the shaping of the language—written speech—that in the years gave fame to old Atlantis.
Ah, she—Atlantis—was the monarch of the earth in arts.
Not gold but other metal played the part of furnishing the men of old Atlantis * their most useful implement; but that thou graspeth of fine gold was wrought, of "silver," brought from far and greater value held than gold which lay
Most beauteous garments wove Atlantis’ slaves, although the wife of noble, all engrossed in making beautiful her form, did weave a garment that no slave might take into her hands.
Thus they called them, spake that self-same word; and from Atlantis brought my sires the great green globes of light which thou shalt see—a record of my line—hid in a mummy's breast awaiting but thy hand.
Such the work of earlier and of later day that held the hands and minds of old Atlantis’ sons.
And so it was those men of "lost Atlantis" learned to fashion instrument to cast their thoughts by delving into matter of the brain; it drew such atoms as did smite and yet again cast forth the word to them who waited.
Atlantis knew the secret of the past, as ye today know language writ on page familiar.
My fathers of that lost Atlantis, speak did father much from star-lore through the mind, and learned from Mars the lore of working brass and metal
"Bring hither from Atlantis sacks of gold," he read, "twice twenty.
So taught the priests of old Atlantis aeons since, and I, today, give but the thought of ages past.
And such events occurred when fair Atlantis reared her head above the sea: a wondrous land with power over many lands afar which she did people from her exiles.
"There once dwelt in Atlantis a maiden whom they called "the Fair" for beauty was her dower.
dread day of wrath had swept Atlantis from the world's great chart.
[paragraph continues](and tyrant in his line was he) were cast ashore with one great galley's hulk and fell a prey to importuning of the kindly ones that peopled old Atlantis in its dawn as home of nation.
Yet through the years that first crude barque, part fashioned from the galley of the castaways, part from the fisher boat, held well its place—a boat of peace, which carried envoys to the darker land far up the sea, or yet to smiling islands set in southern seas; for stranger spices and such condiments as old Atlantis knew not till at last one, so skilled in foreign mixtures that his fame was great,
Those galleys of Atlantis?
And all was writ so plain in symbols that the foeman read, and reading, shuddered as the fleet drew nigh; a menace to the "pirate," joy to them who loved Atlantis, gloried in her strength, her arts.
None so brave he be might sully sea with corpse or feed the foul, fierce creatures of the deep, Atlantis willed.
Slave or king, in death they equal shared the pomp and were the pride of people who as kin regarded every soul born on Atlantis’ shores.
Thus they spake: "The dogs do prowl from fierce Atlantis’ shore!" Or thus: "We need protection, and it comes from dear Atlantis—sister in our need." And never greater or a braver fleet had borne the sun-light on its armoured sides since time began.
Yea, that navy of Atlantis was a fixed mark, from time when first they builded from the wrecked boats, which grew to beauty as the years advanced.
Atlantis was athirst for gold which lay within her soil, and also for that ruddy metal which abounds in strongest nitrates from the saline trend of earth.
Aye, harm was done by digging deep through centuries, for by digging, inner fires were loosed, and wall of water seething through it bore beneath the waves the block of land so huge and rich it seemed the home of gods—Atlantis.
Yea, bismuth was known in Atlantis, as now, in conjunction with other metals.
Aye, bismuth was our subject; little more I say of what Atlantis taught of that prized substance, for they held it of priceless worth in so cementing rock that pillars grew eternal in their wearing, so to hold the thoughts of men whose bodies turned to dust for centuries had been.
Yea, the copper mines of "Spain" * Atlantis knew.
But at last his heart turned to his home and kind and he returned unto Atlantis, nor spake he of his intent to those adopted of his heart in "Spain."
They went—a galley of strong men who learned to toil in mines and those, returning, brought the secret to Atlantis.
And by those men who delved in mines in Spain, was brought the knowledge that Atlantis held great wealth in ores, and digging was begun.
Tulip trees grew upon Atlantis, huge as the trees * in this, thy land called wonders of the world by ye in this strange spot; and these great tulip trees were hewn to staves and dried in matter-soaked in slime from out the gushing wells to southward on that island.
Oil of the fish gave all the light Atlantis knew in homes when darkness hid the light of day.
The king who reigned in Egypt when the flood destroyed Atlantis was Osiris, son of him who reigned in that ripe age when law perfected brought to that doomed land all things of Earth.
Ask ye again how "lost Atlantis’" sons bent first their steps to Egypt?
One of this race—a monarch—once did seek Atlantis’ shore to barter slaves for fruits, or gold, or jewels, and with him in his train of slaves he bore a sister—beautiful as dawn.
And thus the king of proud Atlantis craved another of that house when she, his queen, had passed, the wife he loved in youth.
war; drove from its plains the kindred, people of that queen who, being queen, brought deep disgrace upon the fairest name Atlantis knew, the bravest king, the kindest heart that ever beat in monarch's breast.
One indeed had planned the building of the king's own palace in far Atlantis—a pile of marble, golden, fluted harp in fountain set adorned.
Notched marble at the base, but upwards, broader grown, took color from the native tree in jasper, a stone from land afar in merchant galleys brought unto Atlantis.
From northern point of Atlantis floated they.
Egypt already had become a power in war, for certain mighty tribes adhered to young Osiris’ rule ere sunk Atlantis.
This race did pre-exist Atlantian age; full 5000 years before the fishermen did reach Atlantis’ shore.
Thus was the history of the comet handed down the line till men who learned to build, not dig their homes, had caught the history and emblazoned on stone, or skin, in crevice of the rock it lay fair hidden when my sires from Atlantis came.
A thousand galleys did comprise Atlantis’ fleet; and so had he no hope to reach that land to which their thoughts had turned if so the king directed men to follow, barge on barge and barque with barque.
And one hath shown an architrave of white, embossed marble writ with figures of the gods they worshipped in Atlantis.
Egypt's art to hold the husk was later yet employed, for in Atlantis ashes but remained of forms once loved.
Atlantis thou hast sunk, but Earth doth hold today the records of thy greatness and thy power.
Atlantis held no kings who warred upon the land thou names, * for they were wise and as allies held the people near and far nor yet desired war where peace could give all that they asked.
Those yellow forms thou namest first came to shape, and soon a nation formed, in that dim morn when in the time of dearth Atlantis drew her bread supply from plains now rank with growth of trees—with bloom that cloys the sense, where serpents twine amid the broad, lush leaves, and beasts prowl greedily among coarse reeds which stand where once great grains of maize did grow.
And thither sent Atlantis men of trust to barter what the smiths did beat from gold, or yet those pictures rare wrought in the metal fair ye name upon the scroll, and yet not so exact in every point of worth, for it still held another added part which saved the metal for the tooth of Time to gnaw and yet not crumble.
Then he from Atlantis shore spake slow: “I value much thy trust in me, but kindred have I none.
Atlantis, thou art lost, thy people of pure blood but represented in my land by those who pour o’er tomes and sigh for glories passed.
Atlantis knew but bravery in war.
Atlantis spake for peace in early age.
Long ago the tone was needed not by certain learned men, and in Atlantis dwelt the art perfected.
Nay, after years so long—the sea fight—that I do not count, yet speak, mayhap, the tale I tell fell many thousand years before Atlantis sank.
Thy mood is ill, my scribe, for learning all of that great sea fight of the centuries gone—a thousand years before Atlantis sank.
A thousand years before Atlantis sank there rose a cry from Northern borders peopled with the "Slav"—the Norsemen of a line that later cast their lot in lower country, driven from their homes by one oppressor—later king of North.
Atlantis sailed northward and we meet her fair in battle!
One versed in war—one from the southern isles—cried loudly: "Not Atlantis’ fleet, for fleet hath she, but this is from the forests.
Full willingly did Asia's leader hold the offer good, and side by side they sailed—the crimson kite and polar bear, each holding in his heart the selfsame thought of brotherhood in strife against Atlantis; later, war on each and spoil fierce wrested from a rival's hand.
Atlantis held a menace at her Southern ports—a menace to marauders all well knew.
The blue waves dimpled in the morning light and all Atlantis met in fête, nor thought that nearer, nearer drawing yet were barques by hundreds—hurrying wolves of war that hovered nigh and waited for the night, to set their feet on forest bordered spot and march on home and wrest its treasures all, in human life and gems and gold.
“The forest aisles are lit as well for beasts that prowl as man, and if, perchance, Atlantis’ king and guards sleep not, what better target for their spears than we who land with moonlight showing well each helm?
A trumpet from Atlantis’ fleet called low.
The sullen men of Zambesi but fixed their eyes on the well favored men who from Atlantis oft had sailed unto their shores in boats unlike their own yet equal in their worth, and strength and swiftness.
Sullen spake these men: "We war not on Atlantis."
Atlantis is our foe, since we are part of this great army which hath set to war."
Atlantis with her eagles, yellow bloom of lilies at her prow, came swiftly; heeded not the stroke of missiles at her left and right.
Atlantis, silent from the first long cry, dealt blow on blow.
Flesh is frail when formed in wall, and every fierce advance was checked by missile-throwers of Atlantis who fought, nor made attack, for thus Atlantians were forbade, but held protection of the life and home a duty all must learn.
One galley sunk another followed close, sucked down, or shattered by the bolts of stone fierce-heated, which Atlantis’ steel-clad galleys bore.
And stood he proudly still, young Olaf, when had fallen twelve hundred warriors; fell in sea or writhing sore in galleys, bearing dead and wounded, which was sunk by Atlantis’ spear-like spikes resembling those about a palace tower set.
"A king of this Atlantis is our friend; behold!
And galley met with galley, back to Atlantis bore the slaves of him, Zambesi's king, who later pardoned all, the fragment of a band.
Atlantis laid her dead in funeral barge and slowly homeward set.
He whom Atlantis called her king was wise, not wily, and excess he did abhor; and yet that day his galleys sailed to war he drank him deep of "liquor," as ye speak in modern times.
I thus explain the destruction of Atlantis—land of the beautiful, land of gold, of knowledge, of science, art, music; all that man beneath God perfecteth added to God's own work.
Thou shalt yet see with mortal eyes a spot of that vast Atlantis whose fairness lies beneath the waters.
THE DESTRUCTION OF ATLANTIS
Atlantis, thou hast sunk, but shall arise, a slimy thing of Ocean, still to bear much beauty, offering riches to the world which hath not known thy fate.
Herodotus describes the city's walls, gates, and temples, including a "temple of Zeus Belus" - Zeus is a God associated with Atlantis.
In Revelation 18, the verse Thus shall Babylon Sink might reference to a city of Atlantis that sunk.

That last is the kind of which it is necessary to say something here, in order that the true character of the present treatise on Atlantis may be understood, but I allude to the others merely that the explanation I have to give may not be mistaken for a complete theory of clairvoyance in all its varieties.
That term may be conveniently used to denote the kind of clairvoyance I am now endeavouring to elucidate, the kind which, in some of its more magnificent developments, has been employed to carry out the investigations on the basis of which the present account of Atlantis has been compiled.
The destruction of Atlantis was accomplished by a series of catastrophes varying in character from great cataclysms in which whole territories and populations perished, to comparatively unimportant landslips such as occur on our own coasts to-day.
Now the testimony of the oldest writers and of modern scientific research alike bear witness to the existence of an ancient continent occupying the site of the lost Atlantis.
It is probable that the earliest form of alphabet was hieroglyphic, "the writing of the Gods," as the Egyptians called it, and that it developed later in Atlantis into the phonetic.
It would be natural to assume that the Egyptians were an early colony from Atlantis (as they actually were) and that they carried away with them the primitive type of writing which has thus left its traces on both[8] hemispheres, while the Phœnicians, who were a sea-going people, obtained and assimilated the later form of alphabet during their trading voyages with the people of the west.
The existence of similar languages among races separated by leagues of ocean, across which in historic time they are known to have had no means of transport, is certainly an argument in favour of their descent from a single race occupying a single continent, but the argument cannot be used here, for the continent in question was not Atlantis, but the still earlier Lemuria.
Ethnological Types.—Atlantis as we shall see is said to have been inhabited by red, yellow, white and black races.
(See Short's North Americans of Antiquity, Winchell's Pre-Adamites, and Catlin's Indians of North America; see also Atlantis, by Ignatius Donnelly who has collected a great mass of evidence under this and other heads.) We shall see by and by how the diversity of complexion on the American continent is accounted for by the original race-tints on the parent continent of Atlantis.
Proclus quotes an extract from an ancient writer who refers to the islands in the sea beyond the Pillars of Hercules (Straits of Gibraltar), and says that the inhabitants of one of these islands had a tradition from their ancestors of an extremely large island called Atlantis, which for a long time ruled over all the islands of the Atlantic Ocean.
Marcellus speaks of seven islands in the Atlantic, and states that their inhabitants preserve the memory of a much greater island, Atlantis, "which had for a long time exercised dominion over the smaller ones."
The Gauls possessed traditions of Atlantis which were collected by the Roman historian, Timagenes, who lived in the first century, b.c. Three distinct peoples apparently dwelt in Gaul.
First, the indigenous population (probably the remains of a Lemurian race), second, the invaders from the distant island of Atlantis, and third, the Aryan Gauls (see Pre-Adamites, p.
Whether these are some archaic versions of the story of the lost Atlantis and its submergence, or whether they are echoes of a great cosmic parable once taught and held in reverence in some common centre whence they have reverberated throughout the world, does not immediately concern us.
All four represent Atlantis and the surrounding lands at different epochs of their history.
The continent of Atlantis itself, it will be observed, extended from a point a few degrees east of Iceland to about the site now occupied by Rio de Janeiro, in South America.
The now growing American continent is separated by a chasm from its parent continent of Atlantis, and this no longer comprises any of the lands now existing, but occupies the bulk of the Atlantic basin from about 50° north to a few degrees south of the equator.
With the exception of the rents in the continents both of Atlantis and America, and the submergence of Egypt, it will be seen how relatively unimportant were the subsidences and upheavals at this epoch,[19] indeed the fact that this catastrophe has not always been considered as one of the great ones, is apparent from the quotation already given from the sacred book of the Guatemalans—three great ones only being there mentioned.
The two islands into which Atlantis was now split were known by the names of Ruta and Daitya.
1 shows the land surface of the earth as it existed about one million years ago, but the Rmoahal race came into existence between four and five million years ago, at which period large portions of the great southern continent of Lemuria still existed, while the continent of Atlantis had not assumed the proportions it ultimately attained.
Their height in these early days was about ten or twelve feet—truly a race of giants—but through the centuries their stature gradually dwindled, as did that of all the races in turn, and later on we shall find they had shrunk to the stature of the "Furfooz man." They ultimately migrated to the southern shores of Atlantis, where they were engaged in constant warfare with the sixth and seventh sub-races of the Lemurians then inhabiting that country.
But in addition to these there were two occasions in the history of Atlantis when the ice-belt desolated not merely the northern regions, but, invading the bulk of the continent, forced all life to migrate to equatorial lands.
The place of origin of the Tlavatli or 2nd sub-race was an island off the west coast of Atlantis.
Thence they spread into Atlantis proper, chiefly across the middle of the continent, gradually however tending northwards towards the stretch of coast facing the promontory of Greenland.
It ruled the whole continent of Atlantis for thousands of years in great material power and glory.
It lay near the west coast of Atlantis about latitude[24] 30° North, and the whole of the surrounding country, embracing the bulk of the west coast of the continent, was peopled with a pure Toltec race.
1. The Turanians were colonists from the earliest days, and great numbers migrated to the lands lying to the east of Atlantis.
It took its rise in the land east of Atlantis, about the middle of the great peninsula whose south-eastern extremity stretched out towards the old continent.
They did not for long, however, confine themselves to the land of their birth, but overran the now diminished continent of Atlantis.
Now the second of these emperors was an Adept, and for thousands of years the Divine dynasty ruled not only all the kingdoms into which Atlantis was divided[28] but the islands on the west and the southern portion of the adjacent land lying to the east.
The government was just and beneficent; the arts and sciences were cultivated—indeed the workers in these fields, guided as they were by occult knowledge, achieved tremendous results; religious belief and ritual was still comparatively pure—in fact the civilization of Atlantis had by this time reached its height.
For it should be realized that when the Atlanteans reached their zenith in the Toltec era, the proportion of population to the square mile[34] on the continent of Atlantis probably equalled, even if it did not exceed, our modern experience in England and Belgium.
It may here be noted that while the Mexican empire was for centuries great and powerful in all that is usually regarded as power and greatness in our civilization of to-day, it never reached the height attained by the Peruvians about 14,000 years ago under their Inca sovereigns, for as regards the general well-being of the people, the justice and beneficence of the government, the equitable nature of the land tenure, and the pure and religious life of the inhabitants, the Peruvian empire of those days might be considered a traditional though faint echo of the golden age of the Toltecs on the mother-continent of Atlantis.
Then it was that the first great body of colonists was brought from Atlantis, and some time during the ten thousand years that led up to the second catastrophe, the two great Pyramids of Gizeh were built, partly to provide permanent Halls of Initiation, but also to act as treasure-house and shrine for some great talisman of power during the submergence which the Initiates knew to be impending. Map No.
The Turanians who in the first map period had colonized the northern parts of the land lying immediately to the east of Atlantis, occupied in the second map period its southern shores (which included the present Morocco and Algeria).
The Akkadians, though eventually becoming supreme rulers on the mother-continent of Atlantis, owed their birthplace as we have seen in the second map period, to the neighbouring continent—that part occupied by the basin of the Mediterranean about the present island of Sardinia being their special home.
As readers of the Transaction of the London Lodge on the "Pyramids and Stonehenge," will know, the rude simplicity of Stonehenge was intended as a protest against the extravagant ornament and over-decoration of the existing temples in Atlantis, where the debased worship of their own images was being carried on by the inhabitants.
Architecture and sculpture, painting and music were all practised in Atlantis.
Education.—A few words on the subject of language will fitly prelude a consideration of the training in the schools and colleges of Atlantis.
All through the ages, however, the Toltec language fairly maintained its purity, and the same tongue that was spoken in Atlantis in the days of its splendour was used, with but slight alterations, thousands of years later in Mexico and Peru.
The schools and colleges of Atlantis in the great Toltec days, as well as in subsequent eras of culture, were all endowed by the State.
But as time went on it became more and more the personal power, which Bulwer Lytton calls vril, and the operation of which he has fairly accurately described in his Coming Race, that the colleges for the higher training of the youth of Atlantis were specially occupied in developing.
Now the experiments which gave these results were carried out in the agricultural schools of Atlantis.
With these, however, who had so outstripped the mass of humanity, as to be ready to begin the progress of the occult path, we are not here concerned, the religions practised by the inhabitants of Atlantis generally being the subject of our investigation.
Sun and fire worship then became the cult for the celebration of which magnificent temples were reared throughout the length and breadth of the continent of Atlantis, but more especially in the great "City of the Golden Gates"—the temple service being performed by retinues of priests endowed by the State for that purpose.
Unlike the gorgeous temple decorations of Atlantis however, the Shinto temples are characterized by an entire absence of decoration—the exquisite finish of the plain wood-work being unrelieved by any carving, paint or varnish.
It was only with the coming of the savage Aztecs that the harmless Mexican ritual was supplemented with the blood of human sacrifices, which drenched the altars of their war-god, Huitzilopochtli, and the tearing out of the hearts of the victims on the summit of the Teocali may be regarded as a direct survival of the elemental-worship of their Turanian ancestors in Atlantis.
The animal kingdom of to-day exhibits a field of nature where the building of that bridge has not yet been begun, and even among mankind in the days of Atlantis the connection was so slight that the spiritual attributes had but little controlling power over the lower animal nature.
Mythical Connections: Diodorus blends tales of the Hesperides, the Makhlyes tribe, and Plato’s Atlantis, rationalizing them as history.
Diodorus also refers to Plato's story of the sinking of Atlantis in the last line of the passage quoted above.
In this episode of the Next Level Soul Podcast, host Alex engages in a deep conversation with historian Michael Le Flem about the lost civilization of Atlantis.
The discussion explores Le Flem's extensive research into historical records, channeled accounts, and clairvoyant sources that align with the Atlantis narrative.
They cover the historical origins of Atlantis, the corroboration of modern discoveries with ancient texts, and the implications of channeled information from figures like Edgar Cayce and Frederick Spencer Oliver.
Michael Le Flem explains that his interest in Atlantis began as an adjunct history professor, where he had more freedom to explore unconventional subjects like Graham Hancock's works in his curriculum.
He discusses the challenges of teaching alternative historical perspectives in academic environments, highlighting that his independent research eventually led him to focus on Atlantis.
Le Flem emphasizes that his research aims to investigate the possibility of Atlantis without drawing firm conclusions, instead presenting evidence for others to consider.
Le Flem highlights the importance of channeled sources in understanding Atlantis, especially the work of Frederick Spencer Oliver, who in the late 19th century claimed to have channeled the story of his past life in Atlantis.
According to Oliver, Atlantis had technology far ahead of its time, including holographic smartphones, underwater crafts, and aluminum-made aircraft.
Edgar Cayce, another significant figure in the Atlantis narrative, provided numerous readings on Atlantis.
Cayce’s readings often spoke of advanced technologies and global migrations after the destruction of Atlantis.
Plato’s writings on Atlantis are the most widely known historical references to the lost civilization.
Plato’s story, passed down through Egyptian priests and recorded by the Greek lawmaker Solon, depicts Atlantis as a powerful civilization that fell into decline after misusing its technological power.
This narrative, Le Flem suggests, aligns with Cayce’s and Oliver’s channeled accounts of technological disasters leading to Atlantis’ destruction.
These discoveries challenge the mainstream historical view that humanity was in a hunter-gatherer stage at the time Atlantis was believed to have existed.
Le Flem's work offers a nuanced exploration of Atlantis, blending conventional historical research with channeled sources and modern scientific discoveries.
While he refrains from drawing definitive conclusions about Atlantis' existence, he presents compelling evidence that suggests the lost civilization could have been real, supported by both ancient texts and modern archaeological findings.
For those interested in exploring more of Michael Le Flem’s work, his book Visions of Atlantis is available in both English and Spanish, as well as in audiobook format.
