I will set his Atlantic Isle beside Timaeus and Critias, beside Donnelly's Atlantis: The Antediluvian World, and beside Lewis Spence's The History of Atlantis and The Problem of Atlantis, only as a contrast of claim.
He says Diodorus identifies Oceanus with the Atlantis (p.
I do not treat the nursery of the labours as a second Atlantis narrative.
Scott-Elliot's The Lost Lemuria for the maps, dates, races, and place-names a later writer would set beside other accounts of a southern lost continent, and beside his own account of Atlantis.
Scott-Elliot, author of "The Story of Atlantis" and "Man's Place in the Universe," and the year 1904.
I do not carry figures out of The Story of Atlantis into this review, though he tells the reader to remember that book, and the title page names it.
He dates the last remnant of Atlantis, Poseidonis, to 9564 B.C.
Lemuria, he says, died by fire, not by the tidal waves that drowned Atlantis.
The life of the continent of Atlantis he puts, speaking roughly, at between four and five million years, because that is about the time since the Rmoahals arose.
The nucleus of Atlantis.
An island on the earlier map, north-west of the extreme promontory of Lemuria and due west of the present coast of Spain, was the nucleus of Atlantis from first to last.
It was the mountainous region of Atlantis in its prime, when Atlantis embraced lands now North and South America, and again in its decadence, and of Ruta in the Ruta and Daitya epoch, and it practically constituted Poseidonis.
Catastrophes, in the order printed down that column: Lemuria perished before the Eocene; the main continent of Atlantis was destroyed in the Miocene about 800,000 years ago; a second great catastrophe, with his own question mark, about 200,000 years ago; a third about 80,000 years ago; final submergence of Poseidonis 9564 B.C.
Atlantis was submerged by great tidal waves, in four great catastrophes, most of the people drowning.
1, by saying that science already grants the exchange of land and sea, that Atlantis has had scant recognition from science, and that opinion has long pointed to a vast southern continent "to which the name of Lemuria has been assigned."
The further evidence, he says, comes from the same source, and in the same manner, as that which produced the Story of Atlantis.
The Atlantis maps, he says, were never professed to be correct to a single degree.
For Atlantis there had been a globe, a good terra-cotta bas-relief, and a well-preserved map on parchment or skin.
Mighty Adepts in the days of Atlantis produced the Atlantean maps.
Speaking roughly, between four and five million years is the life of the continent of Atlantis, for it is about that time since the Rmoahals, the first sub-race of the Fourth Root Race, arose on a portion of the Lemurian continent which then still existed.
Because the figure four is the nadir and the shortest stretch, whether of a Manvantara or of a race, Lemuria must be assigned many more millions of years than Atlantis.
Compared with the maps of Atlantis, he says, there was continuous land, now in one epoch and now in another, between many regions now cut by sea, enough to account for the shared fauna and flora of the two Americas, of Europe, and of "Eastern lands."
That island is the nucleus of Atlantis.
It was the great mountainous region of Atlantis at its prime, when Atlantis embraced great tracts of land which have now become North and South America.
It remained that mountainous region in the decadence of Atlantis, and of Ruta in the Ruta and Daitya epoch, and it practically constituted Poseidonis, the last remnant, submerged in 9564 B.C.
A comparison of the two maps here given, along with the four maps of Atlantis, will also show that Australia and New Zealand, Madagascar, parts of Somaliland, the south of Africa, and the extreme southern portion of Patagonia are lands which have probably existed through all the intervening catastrophes since the early days of the Lemurian period.
That psychic vision lasted through the whole Lemurian period and well into the days of Atlantis (p.
Readers of the Story of Atlantis may remember, he says, that many languages arose on Atlantis, but all were agglutinative, or, as Max Müller prefers, combinatory.
The contrast with Atlantis is the point he wants remembered.
Unlike the subsequent fate of Atlantis, which was submerged by great tidal waves, the continent of Lemuria perished by volcanic action.
Another marked contrast between the fate of Lemuria and Atlantis was that while four great catastrophes completed the destruction of the latter, the former was slowly eaten away by internal fires, for, from the time when the disintegrating process began towards the end of the first map period, there was no cessation from the fiery activity, and whether in one part of the continent or another, the volcanic action was incessant, while the invariable sequence was the subsidence and total disappearance of the land, just as in the case of Krakatoa in 1883.
He ends the sketch by linking Lemuria to Atlantis, through the birth of the Fourth Root Race.
I read Ignatius Donnelly's Ragnarok: The Age of Fire and Gravel for the comet, the gravel, the dates, the myths he lines up, and every sentence in this book that names Atlantis.
Appleton and Company, 1, 3, and 5 Bond Street, 1883, and under his name, author of Atlantis: The Antediluvian World.
I am not carrying claims over from Atlantis: The Antediluvian World.
Author: Ignatius Donnelly, named on the title page as the author of Atlantis: The Antediluvian World.
He puts the Drift about thirty thousand years ago, from the recession of Niagara, and Noah's Deluge somewhere from eight to eleven thousand years ago, with about twenty thousand years between them on the plain of Atlantis.
About twenty thousand years came between, and those are the "myriads of years" he assigns to Plato's plain of Atlantis.
Atlantis in this book, not borrowed silently.
He then calls Bifrost a prolongation of land from Atlantis to Europe (p.
The Tahoe flood is not, he says, the one he supposed elsewhere to be the destruction of Atlantis, because the traditions speak of several deluges (p.
Later he says the island was Atlantis, Ovid's land of Neptune, Poseidon, and of Atlas (p.
The land of Nod may have been Od, Ad, Atlantis, and Odin's name may have come from Od (p.
The ridge from the British Islands to Atlantis goes down in Ragnarok (p.
An objection he prints asks whether he had supposed, in Atlantis, that ridges from Atlantis shut off the Gulf Stream and so caused the Glacial Age.
A second Atlantis, not his island.
Quoting Geikie on Lower Silurian blocks in the south of Scotland, he prints the suggestion that those bowlders may have come from some ancient Atlantis, transported by ice (p.
He adds no Atlantis sentence.
No date, no myth, and no Atlantis.
No Atlantis sentence.
No Atlantis, and no myth.
No Atlantis sentence.
He does not yet name Atlantis.
No myth yet, and no Atlantis.
No date is fixed in this chapter, and Atlantis is not named.
No myth, and no Atlantis.
The chapter adds no gravel myth and no Atlantis sentence.
Atlantis is not named yet.
It names no Atlantis.
On this page he states the island without the name Atlantis.
The chapter's Atlantis-related sentence is the unnamed central island.
No Atlantis name.
Here he defines Bifrost, still without pressing the name Atlantis: a prolongation of land westward from Europe, connecting the British Islands with the island-home of the gods, or the godlike race.
The Atlantis name is still withheld in this chapter.
Here we are reminded of the bridge Bifrost, spoken of in the last chapter, which, as I have shown, was probably a prolongation of land reaching from Atlantis to Europe, and which the Norse legends tell us sank down under the feet of the forces of Muspelheim, in the day of Ragnarok.
The Atlantis sentence in it is the Bifrost sentence on p.
This is where he separates this flood from the destruction he had assigned to Atlantis elsewhere.
It would be natural to suppose that this was the great deluge to which all the legends of mankind refer, and which I have supposed, elsewhere, to refer to the destruction of "Atlantis"; but it must be remembered that both east and west of the Atlantic the traditions of mankind refer to several deluges, to a series of catastrophes, occurring at times far apart.
The Atlantis sentences in this chapter are the one that refuses to make the Tahoe wave the Atlantis deluge, and the comparison of Rama's bridge with Bifrost, which does not yet say the word Atlantis.
The name Atlantis is not in the chapter.
The chapter names no Atlantis.
It does not name Atlantis.
The chapter's Atlantis material is by reference: Lanka and the monkey bridge are already on the table.
He does not add a new Atlantis sentence in the gravel argument itself.
The name Ad, in "Sheddad the son of Ad," is the name he will join to Nod, Od, and Atlantis.
He does not write the word Atlantis in the chapter.
He says, in this chapter, that he has shown elsewhere that the home of the dead was beyond the waters, and he footnotes his earlier book, Atlantis, pages 359, 421, and so on.
He does not in this chapter say that Eden was Atlantis.
The Atlantis name is not used for the Illinois find.
The land of Nod may have been Od, Ad, Atlantis; and from Od may have come the name of Odin, the king, the god of Ragnarok.
It is, in his view, Atlantis.
Theopompus tells us that the people who inhabited Atlantis were the Meropes, the people of Merou.
371 the conclusion, in his words, is irresistible: here was Atlantis, here was Lanka, here was the island of the innocent, here was Asgard.
Gylfe learns Ragnarok from the people of Asgard, just as Solon learned the story of Atlantis from the priests of Sais.
This island was Atlantis.
It is associated with Atlas, the king or god of Atlantis.
Donnelly says they probably followed the ridge which the soundings show from Atlantis to the coast of South America.
The Hindoo three-pronged root of the world-mountain has heaven, Olympus, on top, hell below where the Asuras, the comets, dwelt, and between them Meru, Mero, Merou, the land of the Meropes, Atlantis.
If the bridge were not defended, the Northmen would march from Great Britain and Ireland to the Azores, that is, to Atlantis.
Atlas was the king, or god, of Atlantis.
That is to say, in this last great catastrophe of the earth, the ridge of land that led from the British Islands to Atlantis goes down for ever.
There was an island, Atlantis, in front of the straits called the Columns of Hercules, larger than Libya and Asia put together, and it was the way to other islands, and from the islands you might pass through the whole of the opposite continent, which Donnelly glosses as America, which surrounds the true ocean.
Is not the conclusion very strong that Atlantis was the island-home of the race, in whose cave Job dwelt; on whose shores Phaeton fell; on whose fields Adam lived; on whose plain Sodom and Gomorrah stood, and Odin and Thor and Citli died; from which the Quiches and the Aztecs wandered to America; the center of all the races; the root of all the mythologies?
But if we will suppose that the scene of man's survival was in that Atlantic island, Atlantis, then this would follow:
An objection he prints asks whether he had supposed, in his earlier book, that ridges radiating from Atlantis shut off the Gulf Stream and so caused the Glacial Age.
These were the "myriads of years" referred to by Plato, during which mankind dwelt on the great plain of Atlantis.
The three sentences above are the dates he wants remembered, and the Atlantis plain is named in the third.
But the glacial clays of the United States may yet prove that civilization was first born on the North American continent and moved eastward over the bridge-like ridges to Atlantis.
At the Drift he was moved east again, out of Eden, and the cherubim at the eastern extremity kept him from returning from, as Donnelly says, the shores of Atlantis.
The Atlantis sentences here are the island of survival on p.
394, the withdrawal of the Gulf Stream ridges as the cause of the Drift, the plain of the myriads of years, the possible eastward move from America to Atlantis, and the shores of Atlantis as the place the cherubim kept man from re-entering.
This chapter has no Atlantis sentence.
Second Peter 3 is the Atlantis sentence of the chapter.
This seems to refer to the island Atlantis, "overflowed with water," and destroyed, as told by Plato; thereby forming a very distinct connection between the Island of Poseidon and the Deluge of Noah.
Possibly these bowlders may have come from some ancient Atlantis, transported by ice.
The chapter's only Atlantis sentence is Geikie's, about ice-carried bowlders, not about the island of the myths.
The after-word adds no new date, no new myth alignment, and no new Atlantis sentence.
I read James Churchward's The Sacred Symbols of Mu for the symbols, the names he gives them, and every Mu or Atlantis claim in this book.
Where he cites Plato on Atlantis, the dialogue itself is Timaeus & Critias.
Atlantis was a colonial empire under her.
Thoth of Atlantis planted Egypt.
Atlantis.
A colonial empire of Mu, and Egypt was a sub-colony of the motherland under Atlantis's direct control.
The first outrage he has recorded is extravagance in the priestly teachings of Atlantis 22,000 years ago.
Osiris, a man of Atlantis, studied in a Naacal college in Mu, went home, and purged that religion.
Atlantis had seven great cities.
A Greek record of about 11,000 years concerns the pillars of the temple dedicated to Poseidon of Atlantis.
Plato, as Churchward reports him, says the people of Atlantis met every fifth and sixth year by turns, sacrificed bulls, and swore to keep the sacred inscriptions on the temple pillars (pp.
The first great outrage he has found recorded was in Atlantis 22,000 years ago, "extravagances in the priestly teachings." Osiris dispelled them and restored the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man.
Thoth of Atlantis founded the colony on the Nile Delta, and Egypt's history began.
Second from Atlantis, brought by the Mayas under Thoth, who settled at Sais on the Nile Delta, Lower Egypt.
That, he says, probably accounts for two creation stories in the early Bible, one from the India line and one from the Atlantis line (p.
A written Greek record of about 11,000 years refers to the pillars of the temple dedicated to Poseidon of Atlantis.
Plato, as he reports him: the people of Atlantis gathered every fifth and sixth year alternately, and with sacrifices of bulls swore to observe the sacred inscriptions carved on the pillars of the temple (p.
His list of sevens, which I keep because several of them are Mu or flood claims: Chaldean, seven days of rainfall that produced the Flood; Hindu, seven days in Vishnu's prophecy of the flood to Satyravata; the Bible, seven days in the prophecy to Noah; Babylonian, seven vases in the sacrifices; Persian, seven horses of the Aryans drawing the chariot of the sun, seven Apris or shapes of flame, seven rays of Agni; Hindu, seven steps of Buddha at birth, and seven Rishi cities; Egyptian, seven days of creation, seven days of the week, seven classes of Egyptians; Greek, seven islands sacred to Proserpine, and the seven-headed Hydra killed by Hercules; Norse, seven families who accompanied the mythical Wotan, founder of the city of Nachan; Hebrew, seven lamps of the ark, seven branches of the candlestick, the seven days' feast, seven years of plenty and seven of famine; Christian, the sevens of the Apocalypse, candlesticks, churches, angels, heads of the beast, seals, trumpets, vials, and plagues; Nahualt, seven caves from which the ancestors emerged; Zuni, the seven cities of Cibola; Uighur, seven sacred cities; Atlantis, the seven great cities; Carian, the seven Antilles; Marquesan, seven people saved from the Flood; the seven Marouts or genii of the winds in Mazdeism; seven rounds of the ladder in the cave of Mirtha, as he spells it; and Mu, seven sacred cities with golden gates (p.
Egypt was a sub-colony of the motherland under the direct control of the colonial empire, Atlantis (p.
They relate that Osiris, on entering manhood, left Atlantis, came to the motherland, and entered a Naacal college.
He studied the religion and the Cosmic Sciences, passed as Master and adept, and returned to Atlantis.
There he taught the first religion of man and weeded out the extravagances that a rank priesthood had put into the religion of Atlantis.
He became the hieratic head of religion in Atlantis and held that office through a long life.
A son became the hieratic head of Atlantis.
That religion was the religion of Mu after Osiris had cleansed the extravagances which had crept into it in Atlantis 22,000 years ago.
Atlantis is a separate Atlantic land, not Mu.
East, a recorded line from Mu to Yucatan and Central America, to Atlantis, through the Mediterranean and Asia Minor, through the Dardanelles, to the southeast corner of the Black Sea, with branches to Chile, Argentina, Scandinavia, southwestern Europe, northwestern Africa, and, last, the Nile Delta.
Atlantis is not Mu.
Atlantis was a large continent-island in the North Atlantic, America to the west, Europe and northwest Africa to the east.
and a 9,000-year gap, Atlantis sank 11,500 years ago, but only to awash.
The mapped eastern line runs Mu to Yucatan and Central America, to Atlantis, through the Mediterranean and Asia Minor, through the Dardanelles, to the southeast corner of the Black Sea.
From Atlantis, branches go to southwestern Europe and northwestern Africa.
It starts from the southwest of Mu, reaches South America, passes through canals to the Amazon Sea, now the Amazon Swamp, and crosses to East Africa, with probable calls on the southern shores of Atlantis.
He says that at that time two streams of colonists were crossing the center of South America in boats, sail and sweep, not flying boats, bound from Mu to Atlantis and on through the Mediterranean as far as Asia Minor.
It became a swamp only after Atlantis sank.
The hole left by Atlantis drew in the surrounding water until a new level was found.
There was then an all-water way from Mu to Atlantis, West Africa, and Asia Minor.
A point of land beyond the Atlantic outlet, unnamed on the tablet, he presumes was Atlantis and marks it so.
From Atlantis they reached the east end of the Mediterranean, Asia Minor, and the lower Balkan peninsula, and broke into tribes named for their territories.
From Egypt he takes the destruction of ancient Athens by earthquakes and submergence 11,500 years ago, about when Atlantis sank, and the building of that Athens 17,000 years ago.
From the southwest corner they would skirt the coast to Easter Island Point, cross to the American canals, pass the Amazonian Sea, and make for the lower point of Atlantis.
From there, east to Africa a little north of Nigeria, or north along Atlantis to the Canaries, 70 miles from Africa.
Documents show a colored population in the south of Atlantis.
Atlantis, submerged, left a hole thousands of miles each way and thousands of feet deep.
Atlantis, he says, had only a legendary history until a few years before this book.
From Plato, 400 B.C., reporting Solon: Atlantis was the center of civilization and conquered the whole world.
Plutarch, Life of Solon: when Solon visited Egypt in 600 B.C., Souchis of Sais and Psenophis of Heliopolis told him that 9,000 years before, relations with the Lands of the West had been interrupted by mud that made the sea impassable after Atlantis, and the country beyond, were destroyed by cataclysms and floods.
Le Plongeon found Yucatan inscriptions: the first settlers in Atlantis were Mayas from Mayax, and Atlantis was torn by earthquakes and then submerged, the same end as Mu.
Petersburg a papyrus of the reign of Pharaoh Sent, Second Dynasty, says Sent sent an expedition west to seek traces of Atlantis, from whence, 3,350 years before, the ancestors of the Egyptians arrived with the wisdom of their native land.
Another papyrus in the same museum, by Manetho, gives 13,900 years as the reign of the sages, the kings, of Atlantis, and places the height of that civilization at the beginning of Egyptian history, about 16,000 years ago.
Some, and the bronze, were engraved in Phoenician hieroglyphics with a sentence read as from the King Chronos of Atlantis.
A bird sphinx from the same treasure is engraved from King Chronos of Atlantis.
Churchward reads the sphinx as the link between Atlantis and Mayax, probably from a statue to Queen Moo, whose totem was a macaw.
Thoth was the emigrated son of a priest of Atlantis, who fell in love with the daughter of King Chronos, escaped, and after many wanderings landed in Egypt, built the first temple at Sais, and taught the wisdom of his native land.
If they came from Atlantis and were Mayas, at least part of Atlantis was Maya.
Some writers took "lands beyond the sea" as the Lands of the West and made Atlantis into Mu.
The mud after the destruction of Atlantis is the barrier.
The lands beyond the sea, in that sentence, are Atlantis.
In one Oriental temple there is a long history of Atlantis written 20,000 years ago.
The geological tale starts in a valley in Central Asia, at a headwater of the Brahmaputra, in a monastery on a spur, with clay tablets divided into sections, one of them geology and history back before man, and an extended history of Atlantis with a map about two feet square.
The sentence he quotes: Atlantis was not always an island.
Before man, when great monsters roamed, Atlantis was joined to America, Europe, and Africa.
Atlantis was then an island.
That difference is why the first submergence left Atlantis awash at low tide, with mud and weed that stopped shipping, a fact he says is in the temple histories of Egypt.
Mu and Atlantis were both held up by isolated gas chambers over the path of a forming belt.
He believes La Palma was once part of Atlantis, and that this crater helped empty the gases that held her up.
When the first chamber blew out, this land went down with Atlantis.
To him, the geology shows that Atlantis once existed.
Man first trod Europe in the northwest, before the Overland Route was wrecked, before the British Isles were cut off, and before any settlement on Atlantis.
No date for the arrival is possible except that it was before Atlantis or southern Europe were settled, because those regions were first settled by the people who had driven the Quetzals out, and that colonization took a long time to begin.
Southwestern France, Spain, and Portugal were colonized from Atlantis.
The inference he offers is that it was brought from Atlantis to America, and that the artists, migrating from Atlantis to France, took bison with them.
Greeks and Egyptians were together in the Motherland, together in Mayax, and again in Atlantis, from which the Greeks went to Asia Minor and the Egyptians to Sais.
Many records say Asia Minor, the lower Balkans, and Egypt were colonized through Mayax and Atlantis.
The war with Atlantis he has already given, except the end.
Atlantis disappeared in like manner.
He reads that as proof that Atlantis sank twice.
The original Greeks came from Central America by way of Atlantis, and settled first in Asia Minor, the lower Balkans, and the islands of the Grecian archipelago that then existed.
The Nile Colony, Lower Egypt, was started at Sais by Mayas from Atlantis under Thoth, about 16,000 years ago.
He repeats, and says he repeats, the Atlantis records, so the Egyptian thread can be read without turning back.
Thoth, son of a priest of Atlantis, built the first temple at Sais and taught the wisdom of his native land.
The "god of history" clause and the daughter of Chronos are in the Atlantis chapter's wording, not in this shorter one.
The papyrus of Pharaoh Sent: an expedition west, seeking Atlantis, from whence 3,350 years before the Egyptians had arrived with the wisdom of their native land.
Plutarch's 9,000 years, the mud, Atlantis destroyed by earthquakes, the country beyond by floods.
Orpheus: Egypt, the daughter of Poseidon, which Churchward glosses as Atlantis.
His list of what that evidence shows: the first Egyptians were Mayas; Lower Egypt came from Atlantis; Upper Egypt came from India; both colonies were later augmented from the Motherland by way of India and Mayax; the people of Mu were the first men; Atlantis was destroyed by earthquakes and submerged; America was destroyed and left impassable and uninhabitable for a long time; in Egypt, Mu was also called the Lands of the West and Kui Land; Mu existed and was the original habitat of man; Egypt was a colony of Mu and, after Mu sank, an empire.
Osiris was born in Atlantis about 22,000 years ago.
As a young man he went to the Motherland, entered a Naacal college, stayed until he was a master and a Holy Brother, returned to Atlantis, purged the religion of extravagances, and became head of the Atlantian church for a long life.
Thoth founded Lower Egypt, built the first temple at Sais, and taught the Osirian religion as he brought it from Atlantis.
Paul's conclusion: Egypt carried the culture of Atlantis to the Nile, the older Egypt was the more cultured it was, and the nation degenerated after Atlantis vanished.
The first was Atlantis, 9500 B.C.
Atlantis is another land, not this one.
He puts Mu at the height of her magnificence 50,000 or more years ago by adding Mayax and Atlantis reigns (pp.
Atlantis, as he separates it.
The Saturnian Continent is an ancient name for Atlantis, the Land beyond the Sea as read from Europe.
Sanches, high priest of Saïs, told Solon that Atlantis sank 11,500 years ago and that the road to the Lands of the West was blocked.
Manetho, as he quotes him, gives the reign of the Sages of Atlantis as 13,900 years, so kings there from 25,400 years ago.
Osiris lived in Atlantis 18,000 or 20,000 years ago.
Atlantis had seven sacred cities, as Mu and India did (pp.
Southern Europe, Asia Minor, and northern Africa were settled by the brunette race by way of Mayax, Central America, and Atlantis.
Not one chamber, which is how he pictures Atlantis.
It names Asia, North America, South America, the Pacific, Atlantis, Hawaii, the Ladrones, Panape, Mu, Aurorai, Ninafou, the Marquesas, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga-tabu, Tahiti, Mangala, Australia, Easter, the ocean, and New Zealand (p.
Schliemann, on the Troano and the Lhasa record only, asserted that Atlantis was the land of Mu.
Other records would have told him that Mu lay to the west of America, not to the east, which is where Churchward puts Atlantis.
The Saturnian Continent was one of the ancient names for Atlantis.
Sanches, high priest of the temple of Saïs, told Solon that Atlantis sank 11,500 years ago and that the passageway to the Lands of the West was blocked on account of the sinking of this great country, and the destruction of the intervening country beyond Atlantis by cataclysms, which made that country impassable.
That, for him, eliminates the possibility that Atlantis was Mu or the Lands of the West.
Southern Europe, Asia Minor, and northern Africa were colonized by the brunette race by way of Mayax, Central America, and Atlantis (p.
Plutarch, Life of Solon: Sanches, the high priest of Saïs, told Solon, which Churchward dates 600 B.C., and also Psenophis, a priest of Heliopolis, that 9,000 years before, the relations of the Egyptians with the inhabitants of the Lands of the West had been interrupted because of cataclysms that destroyed the intervening country, and because of the mud that had made the sea impassable since the destruction of Atlantis by earthquakes and submersion.
Atlantis was submerged.
Lower Egypt was settled from the motherland via Mayax and Atlantis, both west of Egypt, so the soul traveled west.
From two different sources he finds it stated that Osiris lived in Atlantis 18,000 or 20,000 years ago, and that he was a great religious teacher and a master (p.
The civilization was wiped out and the cities wrecked between 11,500 and 11,750 years ago, when the gas belts under and around this area were being forged, with the attendant mountain raising, a little while before the submersion of Atlantis (pp.
Manetho, in one of his papyri, writes that the reign of the Sages of Atlantis was 13,900 years.
Atlantis was submerged 11,500 years ago.
Add 11,500 to 13,900 and Atlantis was governed by kings 25,000 years ago.
The first king of Atlantis commenced his reign 25,400 years ago, and the first king of Mayax 34,000 years ago.
Plato, speaking of Atlantis, says the people gathered every fifth year and sixth year alternately, and with sacrifices of bulls swore to observe the sacred inscriptions carved on the pillars of the temple (p.
Atlantis had the same.
Plutarch relates that the priests of Egypt told Solon that communications with the Lands of the West had been interrupted 9,000 years before, because of the sinking of Atlantis, which made the Atlantic impassable on account of the mud and seaweed, and because of the destruction of the country beyond by cataclysms.
Atlantis sank 9,000 years before that.
How long the temple had stood beyond the date he assigns, no one can say, but not very long, because it commemorates the Lands of the West, and they disappeared only a short time before Atlantis.
An owl vase, the inscription reading: From the King Chronos of Atlantis.
A hawk-headed sphinx, a relic from Atlantis (p.
It was a series of chambers, not one huge chamber, which is how he pictures Atlantis.
Atlantis, in the center of the Atlantic, an immense continental island, was at the time of its submersion the center of the earth's civilization.
The great central belt submerged Mu and Atlantis.
I read Lewis Spence's The Occult Sciences in Atlantis for the claims a later writer can set beside Plato, Donnelly, and Spence's own earlier books.
A facing leaf of other works names The Problem of Atlantis, The History of Atlantis, Atlantis in America, Will Europe Follow Atlantis?, The Problem of Lemuria, and The Occult Causes of the Present War, among others.
The site and the migrations of the 1925 text stay in The Problem of Atlantis.
The 1926 figures stay in The History of Atlantis.
For Donnelly, see Atlantis: The Antediluvian World.
Title: The Occult Sciences in Atlantis.
What he claims: the occult arts began in Atlantis, in a primitive or vestigial form, and passed to Europe, North Africa, Egypt, and parts of America with the survivors.
Atlantis and the Antediluvian world are, for him, one place.
The gods of Atlantis are the Titans, the Sons of God, and, in later books, the Fallen Angels.
is the date at which brass, copper, and tin were familiar, while he still says Atlantis was in the Stone Age at its destruction.
Atlantis and Eden.
He treats the Antediluvian world, the Garden of Eden, and Atlantis as one place.
A Coptic script in the Arcane Tradition, as he reports it, sets the rivers of Atlantis in circles, where Genesis sets four rivers that a later Hebrew account places in the Middle East (chapter IV).
I believe I have been able to prove that Atlantis was indeed the original source of those sciences known as occult.
No tolerable account of the arcane sciences of Atlantis has, he says, yet appeared, though the history, geology, and folk-lore have been worked as hard as the unearthing of Troy or Babylon.
Had there been no Atlantis, occult science would have had to invent such a region.
The Hesperides and the Elysian Fields are, as in his former books, traditionally associated with Atlantis.
Will Europe Follow Atlantis?
is the recent book in which he has already outlined the Antediluvian races, and he says that tradition cannot be separated from the classical idea of Atlantis.
Much of the Atlantis matter from the fourteenth century to the end of the seventeenth is, he says, utterly worthless.
He rejects spirit communications about Atlantis.
In The Problem of Atlantis he has argued that this folk were emigrants or refugees of the lower castes, leaving after one of the severer cataclysms.
The magical art in Atlantis must therefore be older than that European date.
Plato fixed the general date of the disappearance of Atlantis at about 9000 years before his time, or, as he was born in 427 B.C., about 9400 years B.C., or some 11,300 years ago, more or less.
Scriptural and Oriental accounts of the Antediluvian world, which he says was one and the same with Atlantis.
Atlantis has been under the ocean for more than eleven thousand years, so the picture will be less complete than a reader might expect.
In Plato, Zeus, "the god above the gods", stands above Poseidon and judges Atlantis at the end.
When the earth was divided, Atlantis went to Poseidon, son of Saturn, who married Cleito, a mortal woman, one of the aborigines.
Bailly, Lettres sur l'Atlantide de Platon, page 70, is his citation for the claim that the gods and chiefs of Atlantis have been recovered in Sanchoniathon.
The war of gods and Titans is, for him, a memory of strife between Mediterranean and Atlantic races, of the kind Plato outlines, and also a memory of the lower caste rebelling inside Atlantis.
He does say the Atlantis story is fit entertainment for the festival of Pallas Athena, which Spence takes as proof that Plato knew the Atlantean associations of the Panathenaea.
He quotes Goldziher on the missing Phoenician deluge link, and says the Atlantis story is the link Goldziher did not consider.
The Hebrews may also have received the fall of Atlantis in Egypt.
His fuller discussion is in Will Europe Follow Atlantis?
Spence reads that as the betrayal, in Atlantis, of a high caste's secrets to a lower order.
Kenealey, in a volume Spence treats as outmoded but still interesting, says Enoch, whom the Arabs call Edris, became chief pontiff of Atlantis and founded the Mysteries.

Perhaps Atlantis had dominion over the seven chakras.
Plato's ceremonial column at the midpoint of the Temple of Poseidon, at the center of Atlantis, is the human spine.
Plato described Atlantis as being shaped like three concentric circles of land separated by concentric circles of water.
He says the center of a target is called a bull's-eye, the Atlas vertebra holds up the brain, the third eye is at the center of the brain, and the center of Atlantis is a bull's-eye.
The skull Atlas holds up is shaped as Atlantis is described.
If the Temple of Poseidon (between your "temples") is your brain then Atlantis' bull's-eye is your third-eye/pineal gland which literally "roams free in the courtyard of the temple" because it is surrounded by water/fluid.
Joseph, The Atlantis Encyclopedia, p.
The Donnelly quotation on the same page says nations west of the Atlantic look east for their origin, and nations east look west, so the lines converge on Atlantis.

Atlantis, whether or not was a real island continent heading an advanced global civilization, likely also referenced the soul, the pineal gland, and chakra system within the individual.

In Chapter 5 he prints a Council of Nine passage in which Altea is the head of Atlantis, and Hoova is the civilization of the Hebrews, said to have seated the Earth and re-seeded it three times.
The speaker he is quoting on that continent, in the message dated March 29, 2022, says Pa-Taal and "lost continent," and does not say Atlantis and does not say 11,600.
What he claims: Altea was the head of the physical civilization that manifested on Earth as Atlantis, and Altea established the Atlantis colony.
He then reads that colony as Atlantis and dates the last cataclysmic earth changes to 11,600 years ago.
Altea and the name Atlantis.
Altea was the head of what "you know as the physical civilization that manifested upon planet earth as Atlantis" (file p.

For other proposed locations, see Where Was Atlantis.
The Atlantis sentence is the example that follows.
Altea was also the head of what you know as the physical civilization that manifested upon planet earth as Atlantis.
On the next file page he makes the Atlantis link in his own voice, and he uses the Sphinx as the comparison.
Altea established the Atlantis colony on Earth.
The answer he prints does not use the name Atlantis.
Thor Han appears to be describing an ancient civilization such as Atlantis, which has long been rumored to be buried under the ice sheets after the last cataclysmic earth changes occurred 11,600 years ago.

He tries a higher culture about 5000 BC, a Cabiri cult from an Atlantis still there about 3000 BC, and a final disappearance before regular Mediterranean shipping, about 2000 BC (pp.

The findings he flags as new, against his own earlier Atlantis books, are these.
The Atlantis story painted on the peplum of Pallas at the Athenian festival is older than Plato by more than a century.
He identifies Lyonesse with Atlantis, and he groups Atlas with the British gods Albion and Iberius.
Atlantis, as he dates it, sank nearly nine thousand years before Rome was founded, and the soil is under the sea.
Negris (La question de l'Atlantis de Platon, Athens archaeological congress, 1905).
Poseidon received Atlantis and had children by a mortal woman.
From the modern side, starting in the sixteenth century, he takes Olivier, Rudbeck, Bailly, the Comte de Corli, Voltaire, Delisle de Sales, and Bartoli, the theory that Atlantis was America, and the maps and arguments of Kircher, Ginguené, Buffon, and de la Borde.
One plate is Bory de Saint-Vincent's map of Atlantis.
Plutarch, he says, confirms that Solon meant to write an Atlantis poem and was too old to finish it.
Crantor, who died thirty-three years after Plato, said the Egyptian priests showed the Greeks columns on which the history of Atlantis was inscribed.
Spence's point is that if the priests told Solon a false Atlantis, thousands of other Greeks in Sais could have denied it in Athens.
He reads the robe as a folk memory of that war, and he quotes Philip Smith, in the article "Atlantis" in William Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography, that the legend is also found in forms which do not seem copied entirely from Plato.
He adds Strabo's quotation of Poseidonius: it is more reasonable to believe Atlantis existed and sank than to say its inventor made it disappear.
He does treat a late elephant in a warmer, African Atlantis as reasonable.
Butavand said the nine is impossible in an octonal count, and that Eudoxus of Cnidus reduced Critias's nine thousand years to nine thousand months, which would put the founding of Atlantis about 1400 BC, near the Nineteenth Dynasty.
Professor Scharff, in "Some remarks on the Atlantis Problem," Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy, volume 24, 1902, argues that Madeira and the Azores were connected with Portugal, and that the larger mammals reached the islands by land, not as cargo.
Kobelt, who had mocked the Atlantis theory, later read the land shells of Europe and of the West Indies and Central America as an Old World to New World connection broken only near the end of the Tertiary.
One, Atlantis, stood a short distance from the mouth of the Mediterranean.
About 25,000 years ago, at the start of the post-glacial, Atlantis broke further.
These may respectively be called Atlantis and Antillia.
That these two island-continents and the connecting chain of islands persisted until late Pleistocene times, at which epoch (about 25,000 years ago, or the beginning of the Post-Glacial epoch) Atlantis seems to have experienced further disintegration.
Final disaster appears to have overtaken Atlantis about 10,000 B.C.
The whole Sargasso may match an older, larger Atlantis.
This, of course, refers, as I have said, to the "last phase" of Atlantis, from 23,000 B.C.
Scott-Elliot's Poseidonis, in The Story of Atlantis, and Gattefossé's Tertiary map in La Vérité sur l'Atlantide put the land too far from the Spanish and African coast.
Butavand's book of 1925 puts Atlantis inside the strait, on the old coast of Tunis and Tripoli, with Plato's outer sea as the Tyrrhenian, and with islands off Tripoli as the islands Proclus placed next to Atlantis.
Atlantis is the possessive of Atlas.
We may then conclude that the island-continent of Atlantis at the time of its submergence extended from a point close to the entrance to the Mediterranean to the 45th parallel of longitude, and from north to south, nearly from the 45th parallel of latitude to about the 22nd parallel of latitude.
Spence's conclusion is that Basque may be the last remnant of the language of Atlantis.
Cro-Magnon man was the first wave off an Atlantis breaking up in repeated shocks, across a land-bridge into France, Spain, and North Africa.
He has argued the American overflow of the same race in Atlantis in America, and he does not repeat that case here.
He dates an Aurignacian Atlantis to about 26,000 years ago.
The primitive family, for various reasons, can scarcely be estimated at more than six persons on an average, so that this would give us, roughly, a population of some 350,000 for Atlantis in Aurignacian times.
Plato's ivory in the temple of Poseidon, plus the elephants, means for Spence that Atlantis had mammoth ivory of its own.
Between 16,000 and 11,000 years ago he has Atlantis invaded by a people like the Berbers: not Negroid and not Arab, but Iberian, tall, slender, high-featured, dark or brown-haired, grey-eyed or blue-eyed, armed with the bow, and like the Guanches, whom he calls in part their descendants.
He notes that the land link between Britain and the continent was cut only about three thousand years ago, with the English Channel over drowned forest, and he asks why Atlantis should not have lasted longer than Plato says.
Atlantis, nearly the size of Australia, held a tall race who by about 23,000 BC had a high art, cave temples painted with animal and half-human gods, huts and small stone or clay houses outside the caves, and social classes.
About 10,500 BC Poseidon and his Azilian proto-Iberians invaded Atlantis from North Africa.
Then, seemingly about 10,500 B.C., "Poseidon" and his Azilian Proto-Iberians invade Atlantis from the North African region.
Avallon is his British Atlantis, and Avallach, king of the island, is Atlas in British form.
Plato's Atlantis has walls of gold, silver, and orichalcum or copper.
Plato's Atlantis is deeply forested.
Atlantis stands on a level plain.
Atlantis is built in circles.
Take Llyn Llion as a non-Welsh speaker would say it, Lin Lion, add a t and the Greek ending -is, and you get Linliontis, which he thinks could be smoothed into Atlantis.
He believes Atlantis is a Hellenised Celtic name.
Indeed, I believe the name Atlantis to be merely a Hellenized version of the Celtic Llyn Llion or Lyonesse, just such, indeed, as the Greeks would give to a Celtic name.
He says Europe, Africa, and America were handled in The Problem of Atlantis and Atlantis in America, so this chapter is a summary.
Some writers made Antillia into Atlantis because both are four-sided.
We are told in the first place that each of the twelve kings of Atlantis was absolute in his own island, but that so far as their government was concerned they were almost completely tied down to the mere carrying out of the ordinances of the ancient Atlantean rulers engraven on the column of orichalcum in the temple of Poseidon.
His conclusion is that bull worship from Britain to India had one origin, and that if the Aurignacians came from Atlantis they brought the bull with them.
The dead in the west, he argues, are a memory of Atlantis, because people put paradise in the place they believe they came from.
Ice Age cold, in his view, did not rule the climate of Atlantis, though it affected the weather.
Hawks mean rodents, rabbits, rats, and mice, so that fauna belonged to the part of Atlantis the islands once were.
He considers, and does not simply adopt, the claim that Atlantis was the cradle of all animal life.
He quotes the March 1921 issue of Papyrus, the Theosophical journal in Egypt, for the strong form of that claim: Atlantis sent her children over the world, colonised Egypt, and built an Egyptian empire.
But did Atlantis finally sink in 9600 B.C.
And it is obvious in any case that Atlantis itself must have finally disappeared before the period in which vessels were regularly engaged in Mediterranean commerce, say about 2,000 B.C.
The dates pushed him later: a cultured invasion from the west about 3000 BC, from an Atlantis still in existence, carried east by later Carthaginian influence into Greece and Asia Minor.
Spence still thinks the bull in a cave, shared with Spain or with Atlantis, is the older myth, and that Minoan civilisation was modelled on Atlantis rather than the other way round.
It is, indeed, extremely improbable that Atlantis actually founded anything in the nature of a colony.
His test is that the custom appears on three of the links of which Atlantis is the missing one.
He closes on the claim that Plato's Atlantis and the myth of Quetzalcoatl both contain nearly the whole complex, and that both sides of the ocean and the island chains show it.
What I do not take as history is the narrative in which Saturn and Jupiter are kings, the Stone Age of Europe is relabelled as the Stone Age of Atlantis, and one list of customs proves a single motherland.
A reprint that identifies itself as the 1926 book is on the Internet Archive: The history of Atlantis.
He does not put the royal city in the North Sea, and he does not say Atlantis was the Americas.
Scott-Elliot's Poseidonis, on the map in The Story of Atlantis, sits too far from Gibraltar for Spence's reading of Plato, Aristotle, and Scylax.

The Romance of Atlantis is a political romance dressed as a lost-world epic.

The emperor Lazar dies at about two hundred, after two trips through the rejuvenation rays, and leaves Atlantis to his elder daughter Salustra.

In 1953 he published a book that placed the royal island of Atlantis a few miles from Heligoland, the red rock island in the German Bight.
The English edition, Atlantis: The Mystery Unravelled (1956), builds the case in three parts: Egypt's records of the northern invaders and the disasters around 1200 BC, then the North Sea coast and the royal island Basileia, then Homer's Phaeacians as a memory of that island.

Atlantis was not an Ice Age continent in the Atlantic.
The thesis matters because it connects three sources that are usually read apart: Plato's Atlantis report, the Egyptian records of the Sea Peoples, and Homer's island of the Phaeacians.

Spanuth compares the Atlantis report with the tomb of Tutankhamun.
The Atlantis report, he says, is also an unopened treasure chamber.
That would put Atlantis around 9600 BC.
"...we must think not of eight thousand years but of eight thousand months between the fall of Atlantis and Solon's stay in Egypt.
If this is so, the fall of Atlantis must have taken place about 1200 B.C."
Spanuth, Atlantis: The Mystery Unravelled (1956), p.
For Spanuth, that is the core of Plato's claim that Athens alone resisted Atlantis.
Plato says Atlantis lay in the outer ocean, beyond the Pillars of Heracles.
"We must therefore place Atlantis to the north of Egypt and Greece in the World Ocean, as is said in the Atlantis report."
"According to the Atlantis report this must be the spot where stood the royal castle and the temple of Poseidon."
"The orichalc of the Atlantis report could only mean amber, and we shall therefore translate the word orichalc with amber."
Plato says Atlantis had copper.
He also reviews earlier attempts to locate Atlantis.
Rudbeck, Ignatius Donnelly, Adolf Schulten and Richard Hennig had already noticed that Scheria looks like Atlantis.
"This parallel survey shows clearly that Atlantis and the land of the Phaeacians were identical."
The book ends with an English version of Plato's two Atlantis passages, from the Timaeus and the Critias.
For a guided summary of the Critias, see Critias, the story of Atlantis.
The critics published a book in the same year, edited by the geologist Richard Weyl: Atlantis enträtselt?

Spanuth answered in 1955 with ...und doch: Atlantis enträtselt!
("...and yet: Atlantis deciphered!").
Olof Rudbeck had already put Atlantis in the north in the 17th century.
Richard Hennig compared Atlantis and Scheria in 1926.

In Plato's dialogues the Timaeus and the Critias we have Egyptian traditions that go back before the cataclysm of Atlantis; they reach back to the invasion of our continent by the Atlantean peoples.
So it is that, through Solon and Critias, Plato first gives the position of the great island of Atlantis in the Ocean, opposite the strait of Gades, or of Hercules; then he points out, beyond this island, the many islands that we call the Antilles; behind these, he says, lies the great mainland: "what has just been called the mainland," says Critias, "is a true continent." There, then, is America!
They came from the country of Atlantis, a name the Greeks brought back from the Egyptians; now, in the language of the latter, anti means "the high valleys," and Atl-antis "country of the high valleys." Anti is precisely the name of the Andes of equatorial America, and their peoples still bear the name of Antis.
Putting this ethnographic fact together with the philological proofs and the common idiom, it becomes evident that the main element of the great invasion of the Atlanteans, which spread at once through Libya as far as Egypt, and through Europe as far as Tyrrhenia and even Greece, was supplied by the inhabitants of the high valleys of equatorial America, in league with those of the island of Atlantis.
According to Plato, the naval forces of the Atlanteans numbered several thousand ships; even allowing for exaggeration, we have in the accounts just cited the proofs that the Ocean was navigated by peoples whose antiquity goes back beyond the cataclysm of Atlantis, and we have the certainty that the peoples of the two great continents knew each other perfectly well before the Phoenician era.
The following chronology, from the cataclysm of Atlantis to Solomon, can be consulted with profit: to the dates before the Christian era we add the 1870 years since Christ.
This name is, however, less ancient than that of Atlantis.
“In Atlantis during periods of the breaking up of the land.
If the Aryans are the Japhetic race, and if Japheth was one of the sons of the patriarch who escaped from the Deluge, then assuredly, if the tradition of Genesis be true, the Aryans came from the drowned land, to wit, Atlantis.
Among the Mandan Indians we not only find flood legends, but, more remarkable still, we find an image of the ark preserved from generation to generation, and a religious ceremony performed 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.
“These four tortoises,” they told me, “contained the waters from the four quarters of the world–that those waters had been contained therein ever since the settling down of the waters,” “I did 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.
In her Theosophical writings she described Atlantis as the home of the fourth root race in human evolution.
The book contains specific chapters on “Black Magic in Atlantis”, “Two Atlantean Civilisations”, and the rise and fall of Atlantean society.
Her best-known work is the book A Hypnotist’s Journey to Atlantis: Eye Witness Accounts of Our Ancient History.
In it she presents detailed past-life regression sessions in which clients describe life in Atlantis and Lemuria.
Cosme’s contribution to Atlantis research consists of systematically recording and publishing the accounts of ordinary people who, under deep hypnosis, report memories of Atlantean life, technology, culture and the fall of the civilization.
Her work covers angels, unicorns, dragons, orbs, ascension and Atlantis.
Her main contribution on Atlantis is the book Discover Atlantis (written with Shaaron Hutton), which presents information she received about the Golden Age of Atlantis, its spiritual practices, the Temple of Poseidon, the Great Crystal and the eventual decline of the civilization.
Her material on Atlantis is presented as information received through angelic guidance and higher teachers rather than through conventional historical research or personal past-life memory.
