from the highest antiquity by the races of the Old and New Worlds, we learn that it is a reminiscence of the Garden of Eden, in other words, of Atlantis.
In this "glorious eminence" do we not see Plato's mountain in the middle of Atlantis, as he describes it:
The gardens of Alcinous and Laertes, of which we read in Homeric song, and those of Babylon, were probably transcripts of Atlantis.
41), "Now the garden (of Eden) was watered by one river, which ran round about the whole earth, and was parted into four parts." Here in the four parts we see the origin of the Cross, while in the river running around the whole earth we have the wonderful canal of Atlantis, described by Plato, which was "carried around the whole of the plain," and received the streams which came down from the mountains.
The streams named by Josephus would seem to represent the migrations of people from Atlantis to its colonies.
In other words, the original seat of mankind was in the West, that is to say, in the direction of Atlantis.
Wilson tells us that the Aryans of India believed that they originally came "from the West." Thus the nations on the west of the Atlantic look to the east for their place of origin; while on the east of the Atlantic they look to the west: thus all the lines of tradition converge upon Atlantis.
71.) Here we have a distinct reference to Olympus, the Garden of Plato, and the destruction of Atlantis.
And in Plato's account of Atlantis we have another description of the Garden of Eden and the Golden Age of the world:
And these four rivers, flowing to the north, south, east, and west, constitute the origin of that sign of the Cross which we have seen meeting us at every point among the races who were either descended from the people of Atlantis, or who, by commerce and colonization, received their opinions and civilization from them.
Let us look at the question of the identity of the Garden of Eden with Atlantis from another point of view:
If the alphabet of the Phœnicians is kindred with the Maya alphabet, as I think is clear, then the Phœnicians were of the same race, or of some race with which the Mayas were connected; in other words, they were from Atlantis.
If, then, the original seat of the Hebrews and Phœnicians was the Garden of Eden, to the west of Europe, and if the Phœnicians are shown to be connected, through their alphabets, with the Central Americans, who looked to an island in the sea, to the eastward, as their starting-point, the conclusion becomes irresistible that Atlantis and the Garden of Eden were one and the same.
The Pyramid.--Not only are the Cross and the Garden of Eden identified with Atlantis, but in Atlantis, the habitation of the gods, we find the original model of all those pyramids which extend from India to Peru.
The pyramid is one of the marvellous features of that problem which confronts us everywhere, and which is insoluble without Atlantis.
Were not the pyramids of Egypt and America imitations of similar structures in Atlantis?
Are they in this, too, a reminiscence of the Cross, and of the four rivers of Atlantis that ran to the north, south, east, and west?
Faber is correct in his opinion that the pyramid is a transcript of the sacred mountain which stood in the midst of Eden, the Olympus of Atlantis.
After that I say how I use Donnelly’s Asgard and Atlantis reading as labeled interpretation, not as archaeology.
Mixing Germanic philology, Chiapenese Votan, and Atlantis into one flat identity claim is how a name-page loses the visitor who only asked about Odin and Wotan.
Ignatius Donnelly opened his 1882 chapter “The God Odin, Woden, or Wotan” in Atlantis: The Antediluvian World by stating the Germanic identity, then moving into Olympus and Atlantis:
The Scandinavian Olympus was probably Atlantis.
Source: Ignatius Donnelly, Atlantis: The Antediluvian World, Part IV, Chapter IV (Sacred Texts).
He then says that Norse Olympus “was probably Atlantis.” I keep that last clause as Donnelly’s claim.
American Votan and Atlantis come after that, as separate labeled trails.
That Deluge-and-ark frame is why this trail also sits near Donnelly’s flood chapters, including the destruction of Atlantis described in the deluge legends.
He wrote that the Scandinavian Olympus was probably Atlantis.
He also tied Gothic flood legends, Krodo and Satar with Chronos and Saturn, and Baal with Bel in a Poseidon and Atlas orbit, toward a common origin that might be Atlantis.
For location hypotheses I already keep a hub at Where was Atlantis.
Asgard as Atlantis stays Donnelly’s claim.
Was Asgard Atlantis?Donnelly thought it probably was.
I treat “the Scandinavian Olympus was probably Atlantis” as his interpretation, not as archaeology.
How does this help Atlantis research?The Germanic names give a clean identity answer.
I use those hooks as source-critical research, not as proof that Votan was Odin or that Asgard has been dug at Atlantis.
The destruction of Atlantis described in the deluge legends: Donnelly’s flood and destruction spine beside the Votan ark-and-Deluge trail.
Where was Atlantis: location hypotheses for the Asgard-as-Atlantis interpretation, kept as interpretation.
Not only were the gods of the Greeks the deified kings of Atlantis, but we also find that the mythology of the Phoenicians was drawn from the same source.
According to Sanchoniathon, Ouranos was the son of Autochthon, and, according to Plato, Autochthon was one of the ten kings of Atlantis.
The Phoenician legends also mention Poseidon, founder and king of Atlantis.
This ancient rite, practiced by the Atlantidae of both the Old and New Worlds, dates back to Atlantis.
This not only connects the Phoenicians with Atlantis but also shows the relationship between Egyptian civilization and both Atlantis and the Phoenicians.
This Atlantean sailor reopened the path of commerce and colonization, closed since Atlantis sank.
The Phoenician gods and their myths show a deep connection to the kings and legends of Atlantis.
Lord Bacon once said, "The mythology of the Greeks, which their oldest writers do not pretend to have invented, was no more than a light air, which had passed from a more ancient people into the flutes of the Greeks, which they modulated to such descants as best suited their fancies." This insightful observation hints at the profound influence of an older civilization on Greek mythology—a civilization that may well be Atlantis.
This form of worship likely represents the religion of Atlantis.
The Greeks converted the kings of Atlantis into their gods and depicted Atlantis as the heaven of the human race.
The mythology of Greece contains references to gods who acted and behaved like humans, pointing to the historical kings of Atlantis.
Olympus, the home of the Greek gods, is reminiscent of Atlantis:
Location: Situated "in the far west" and "beyond the ocean," similar to Plato's description of Atlantis.
Inhabitants: The gods of Olympus, like those of Atlantis, were twelve in number, including Zeus, Poseidon, and others.
Poseidon: In both Greek mythology and Plato's account, Poseidon was a significant figure associated with the sea and Atlantis.
Atlas: Represented as holding up the heavens in the far west, directly linking him to Atlantis.
The myths of Greece also speak of the decline and destruction of a great civilization, mirroring the fate of Atlantis:
Golden Age: The period of peace and prosperity in Atlantis is reflected in the Greek mythology's Golden Age.
Flood: The deluge that destroyed Atlantis is paralleled by the Greek story of Deucalion's flood.
In exploring the mythologies of ancient civilizations, we find recurrent references to a mysterious and ancient civilization, often interpreted as Atlantis.
These Adites, likely referring to the people of Atlantis, are depicted as a powerful and advanced race.
Shedd-Ad-Ben-Ad: A great antediluvian king associated with Atlantis.
Irem: Shedad built a magnificent palace and garden called Irem, reminiscent of the celestial Paradise, hinting at an attempt to replicate the grandeur of Atlantis.
This story parallels the destruction of Atlantis:
The Persians also possess traditions that echo the Atlantis narrative.
Further connections to Atlantis are seen in the Greek and Hindu mythologies:
Chaldean legends, as deciphered from Babylonian tablets, mention an original race of men called Ad-mi or Ad-ami, who were distinct from a "light race." This race's fall and subsequent deluge echo the destruction of Atlantis:
Ad-mi (Ad-ami): Referred to as a fallen race, providing another instance where the prefix "Ad" suggests a link to Atlantis.
Atl-tona-ti-uh: The Mexican calendar stone refers to the sun as Atl-tona-ti-uh, linking it to the deluge and again to Atlantis.
It has been 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.
This imagery might indicate contact with, or memory of, a bearded race from an Eastern origin, possibly from Atlantis or Europe.
This legend parallels the idea of cultural diffusion from an advanced Eastern civilization, potentially Atlantis.
The Abbé Brasseur de Bourbourg draws significant parallels between the descriptions of Xibalba in the Popol Vuh and Atlantis.
The name "Atlan," derived from the Nahuatl word for water, is echoed in place names and myths, suggesting a connection to Atlantis.
Theopompus mentioned that the inhabitants of Atlantis were called the Meropes, connecting them to the Greek term μέροπες ἄνθρωποι, which means "the men sprung from Merou." This aligns with Lenormant's assertion that the human race originated from Upa-Merou, suggesting a shared ancient lineage and cultural memory.
The existence of an Atlan city in Darien, Central America, supports this connection, and Plato's account names Atlas, the son of Poseidon, as the namesake of Atlantis and the Atlantic Ocean.
The use of the name Atlas and the presence of the Atlantes near these mountains suggest a historical connection to Atlantis.
This link is reinforced by the use of "Atlas" and "Atlantis" across different locations and cultures, indicating a shared origin or significant influence from the lost civilization.
Plato's description of the Atlantic geography, including the islands beyond Atlantis and the surrounding continent, suggests knowledge of the Americas.
The Basques, with their unique language structure resembling American languages, suggest a link to Atlantis.
The presence of negroid features in Central American statues and the tradition of a peaceful, mixed-race origin in the "Popol Vuh" points to a historical blending of populations, likely facilitated by Atlantis as a central hub of ancient civilization.
Civilizations around the Mediterranean, including the Aryans, Egyptians, and Chinese, trace their origins or significant influences to this region, suggesting a shared connection to Atlantis.
The Semitic race's presence in Europe, particularly on coastal regions, suggests a historical colonization or migration that can be explained by the existence of Atlantis.
Atlantis, with its sophisticated society, could have developed these crops and disseminated them through its colonies and trading networks, explaining their widespread and ancient cultivation.
This parallelism suggests a connection through Atlantis, which could have influenced place names on both continents.
This unique and complex practice likely originated from a single advanced culture, supporting the existence of Atlantis as a source of shared traditions.
This concept aligns with the idea of Atlantis as a central, life-giving civilization surrounded by water.
These narratives align with the destruction of Atlantis by a great flood, reinforcing the historical basis of such myths.
These linguistic connections indicate a common origin, likely Atlantis, which influenced both continents.
In conclusion, the multitude of cultural, linguistic, and anthropological similarities between the Old and New Worlds provides compelling evidence for the existence of Atlantis.
The orbicular wheel-like plates of these statues may be linked to the wheel symbol of Kronos and Saturn, or the cross of Atlantis surrounded by a ring.
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.
It is not fabulous; and the land it refers to is not Europe, Asia, Africa, 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.
Many essential arts and inventions date back to Atlantis or the ancient Egyptian civilization, which was an offshoot of Atlantis.
Instead, it is suggested that all civilized nations have inherited these from an ancient, advanced civilization—Atlantis.
Every advanced civilization can trace its roots back to a common source—Atlantis.
Legacy of Atlantis: Many essential arts and technologies date back to Atlantis and early Egyptian civilization.
Inherited Civilization: Advanced civilizations trace their roots to a common source—Atlantis.
Alfred Maury noted that American flood legends closely resemble those of the Bible and Chaldean records, suggesting a common origin from Atlantis rather than migration from Asia.
Atlantis had longstanding interactions with the Americas, with its colonies spread across the continent.
Migration from Aztlan: The Toltecs migrated from Aztlan (Atlantis), a beautiful land, after a great flood.
Quiche Legends: Mention migration from the East, across the sea, after a great flood, indicating a connection to Atlantis.
Cultural Echoes: Names and themes in these legends echo those from other flood myths, suggesting a shared origin or influence from Atlantis.
These flood legends from the Americas show remarkable similarities to those from the Old World, indicating a possible common origin from the lost civilization of Atlantis.
Atlantis, believed to have been destroyed by a volcanic convulsion, likely had volcanoes, as indicated by the volcanic activity along the mid-Atlantic ridge, stretching from Iceland to St.
This volcanic activity, combined with earthquakes, would have contributed to the destruction of Atlantis.
Plato described the mountains of Atlantis as lofty and precipitous, a description that aligns with the Azores' current elevation.
Plato mentioned that navigation ceased in the area of Atlantis due to the mud left behind after its sinking.
Atlantis Connection: Many legends, including those of the Greeks, indicate an Atlantean origin for the flood myth, with references to Poseidon (Neptune) and the "three worlds" of Atlantis.
Egyptian Silence: Egyptian records do not mention a flood, suggesting they preserved an accurate history of Atlantis's destruction and did not create flood myths.
Cosmos's Maps: Medieval maps by the monk Cosmos depicted a world surrounded by water, with lands beyond the ocean where pre-flood people lived, hinting at an awareness of Atlantis.
These legends collectively point to an ancient, widespread memory of a great flood, potentially linked to the historical events surrounding the destruction of Atlantis.
Key points linking these legends to Atlantis include:
Chronos (Saturn): The god who warned of the flood is linked to a great civilization in the Atlantic, matching Atlantis’s description.
Cataclysmic Nature: The Chaldean flood involved multiple natural disasters, akin to Plato’s description of Atlantis’s destruction.
Establishment of Atlantis:
Founding of Atlantis: The young Race takes possession of its continent, Atlantis.
200,000 B.C.: Second great catastrophe leads to the fragmentation of Atlantis into the islands of Kuta and Daitya.
75,025 B.C.: Final catastrophe submerges the remnants of Atlantis, ending the Toltec civilization's dominance.
After this many generations passed before the young Race took possession of its continent, Atlantis, but from this point onwards ship-loads of egos begin to come in from the Inter-Chain Nirvana, to inhabit the fourth Race bodies.
The founding was about one million years ago, one hundred and fifty thousand years before the first great catastrophe which rent the continent of Atlantis.
Blavatsky speaks of the founding of the fifth Race as occurring one million years ago, though it was only led out from Atlantis 79,997 B.
C., some 250,000 years after the first great cataclysm which rent the continent of Atlantis.
The spread of black magic in Atlantis led up to the second great catastrophe of 200,000 B.
During the next hundred thousand years, the people of Atlantis flourished abundantly, and built up a mighty, but over-luxurious, civilisation.
The story may be told, as it throws light on the conditions which brought down later upon Atlantis the heavy doom pronounced by the Occult Hierarchy.
They had brought seeds of various kinds from Atlantis, and some of these were suitable to their new home; they grew some tasteless fruits resembling apples, and, on the slopes of the hot part of the valley, they raised a very large fruit, as large as a man's head, which, in stickiness and general messiness, was like a date.
In Atlantis the reincarnated Metal-Man was again ruling, none the wiser, apparently, for his previous experiences.
This idea of the use of coloured light to promote growth was common to several of the old Atlantean races, and was part of the teaching originally given in Atlantis itself.
Atlantis influenced many countries and built grand civilizations.
Below are some of the remarkable aspects of Atlantis, with details provided by Mr.
Scott-Elliot in his work "The Story of Atlantis."
The immense wealth and luxury eventually undermined Atlantis, leading to its fall.
Despite their achievements, Atlantis fell due to the misuse of their advanced knowledge.
The legacy of Atlantis passed on to the Aryan race, which continues to build on its foundations and may surpass its glory in the future.
Autocratic System: Atlantis was governed under an autocratic system where the Divine Kings held absolute power.
ATLANTIS peopled many countries with its subraces, and built many splendid civilisations.
*A good account of this may be read in The Story of Atlantis by W.
Hence Atlantis fell, despite the glory of its achievements and the might of its Empires ; and the leading of the world passed into the hands of a daughter Eace, the Aryan, which, though it has to its credit many magnificent achievements in the past, has not yet reached the zenith of its glory and its power, and will, some centuries hence, rise even higher than Atlantis rose in its palmiest days.
The destruction of Atlantis is reflected in various flood legends across multiple ancient civilizations.
It posits that the catastrophic sinking of Atlantis, which Plato described, left a profound impact on the collective memory of humanity.
Plato linked "the great deluge of all" with the destruction of Atlantis.
The Egyptian priest told Solon that before this great deluge, Athens had a noble race that resisted Atlantis's attempt at conquest.
The same cataclysm that sank Atlantis also affected many Greeks, indicating a shared memory of this massive disaster.
The text concludes that these interconnected flood legends across different cultures provide compelling evidence for the historical existence and catastrophic end of Atlantis.
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.
Father Seán ÓLaoire explains that, according to Gaelic mythology, Atlantis, or Tír fo Thuinn (the Land Under the Waves), was an advanced civilization that sank under the Atlantic Ocean.
Survivors of Atlantis are believed to have spread across different regions, including Ireland.
Father Seán connects these mythological events to the spread of advanced knowledge and spirituality from Atlantis.
He suggests that survivors from Atlantis, who possessed advanced mental and possibly technological capabilities, sought to elevate the consciousness of the populations they encountered, who were often reduced to more primitive states due to the catastrophic events that led to the sinking of Atlantis.
Association with Atlantis: In some interpretations, Tír fo Thuinn is equated with the concept of Atlantis.
Atlantis: The root race of Atlantis, whose empire now lies at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
If we go back in the evolution of the human race, we come to the root race of Atlantis, whose empire now lies at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
This is why, even though it has evolved, the original reason for All Hallow’s Eve, Halloween, All Souls’ Day, and All Saints’ Day—October 31st, November 1st, and November 2nd—is in remembrance of the destruction of Atlantis.
This was approaching the end of the days of the Atlantis civilization, which had existed for many thousands of years.
The migration of indigenous peoples from what you call North and South America across the continents from west to east eventually created the colony of Atlantis in the islands now recognized as the Bahamas and Cuba.
Many people on your planet today imagine Atlantis with Grecian architecture due to ancient stories from Egypt passed to Greece, but the closest representation of Atlantean architecture is Aztec architecture: large stone blocks and pyramids like those in Central and South America.
This comet that destroyed Atlantis gave comets their reputation as bad omens of destruction.
Though the island has sunk, Atlantis may rise again in a new form in the Americas.
Listen to the preserved knowledge of the indigenous tribes of the Americas, for they hold the information of Atlantis rising once more.
Allow yourselves to feel this connection to nature and let the knowledge of Atlantis rise within you, first in spirit and then in physical reality.
The drums of Atlantis, matching the heartbeat, induced a meditative state in which lessons were easily absorbed and retained.
Rise, Atlantis, rise.

Atlantis is mentioned as part of the historical context of numerology.
The people of Atlantis had advanced knowledge of numerology and geometry, which they used to align with divine and cosmic frequencies.
The fall of Atlantis led to the dissemination of this knowledge to other ancient civilizations like Egypt and Mesoamerica, where it influenced their understanding and use of numerology.
Even though a lot of linear time separated those civilizations, Martians were attracted to incarnate in Atlantis for a very specific reason.
