The Anunnaki were connected to the time of Atlantis but were not the primary rulers or overseers of Atlantis itself.
The Anunnaki's activities were part of broader cosmic and planetary cycles that included significant events like the rise and fall of Atlantis.
Atlantis, along with Lemuria and Egypt, represents ancient advanced civilizations with significant knowledge of frequency, energy, and consciousness.
Atlantis was primarily driven by masculine energy (focused on technology and outcomes), whereas Lemuria was driven by feminine energy (nurturing and emotional balance).
The fall of Atlantis is attributed to the inability to integrate these masculine and feminine energies harmoniously.
After the fall of Atlantis, its survivors spread across the globe, settling in places like Egypt, Mesoamerica, and China.
This knowledge was intended to help humanity progress and avoid the same mistakes that led to the downfall of Atlantis.
The rise and fall of civilizations like Atlantis are part of Earth's natural cycles, which involve periodic resets through events like floods and pole shifts.
Mundus Subterraneus includes several pages about the legendary island of Atlantis including a map with the Latin caption "Situs Insulae Atlantidis, a Mari olim absorpte ex mente Egyptiorum et Platonis Description," translating as "Site of the island of Atlantis, in the sea, from Egyptian sources and Plato's description."
Connection to Atlantis: Donnelly treats Chronos as a real king of Atlantis.
He argues that the empire of the Titans was the empire of Atlantis, and he names Chronos, Saturn, Oceanus and Atlas among its rulers.
He also notes that Poseidon, the first king of Atlantis in Plato, was a son of Chronos.
The Golden Age: He links the Golden Age of Chronos, when "men were rich and lived in plenty," with Plato's happy age of Atlantis, and places the Elysian Fields, "ruled over by Chronos," in the remote west.
Titan and Historical Figure: Bridgman-Metchim also connects Chronos to the myth of Atlantis, portraying him as both a mythological figure and a possible historical one whose legacy shaped later cultures.
The fall of Atlantis and the rise of new civilizations are set within Chronos’s influence.
Connection to Atlantis:
Atlantean Influence: Both Donnelly and Bridgman-Metchim tie Chronos to Atlantis.
The text breaks off here, leaving Zeus’s speech and the exact details of Atlantis’s destruction unwritten.
Since Critias ends abruptly, the specifics of Zeus’s decision and Atlantis’s destruction (likely by flood or catastrophe, as implied in the related dialogue Timaeus) are not detailed.
“But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods, and in a single day and night of misfortune, the island of Atlantis disappeared into the depths of the sea.”
Atlas was the firstborn son of Poseidon and Cleito, and the first king of Atlantis.
He also begat and brought up five pairs of twin male children; and dividing the island of Atlantis into ten portions, he gave to the first-born of the eldest pair his mother's dwelling and the surrounding allotment, which was the largest and best, and made him king over the rest; the others he made princes, and gave them rule over many men, and a large territory.
For the other nine kings, see Who Were the 12 Kings of Atlantis?.
Ignatius Donnelly, in Atlantis: The Antediluvian World (1882), follows Plato closely.
He then argues that the Greek Titans were a memory of the kings of Atlantis.
If we needed any further proof that the empire of the Titans was the empire of Atlantis, we would find it in the names of the Titans: among these were Oceanus, Saturn or Chronos, and Atlas; they were all the sons of Uranos.
Donnelly reads the names Oceanus, Chronos and Atlas among the Titans as proof that the Titan empire was Atlantis.
the Atlas Mountains on the African coast nearest to Atlantis, and the Atlantes people who lived there;
For more of Donnelly's reading of Greek myth, see The kings of Atlantis become the Gods of the Greeks.
Bridgman-Metchim, in Atlantis: The Book of the Angels (1903), stays faithful to Plato.
In Plato’s account he is also the founder of Atlantis and the father of its first kings.
High Priest of Atlantis and God of the Seas (Diana Cooper)
In his account Poseidon gave Atlantis its name, and Plato was an incarnation of Thoth.
Where, you see, Poseidon was the high priest of the ocean, who was proclaimed as the seal keeper—the seal keeper who named Atlantis, a word that is a sonic glyph for the action of the land that rose from the water.
Indeed, this has been written about by Plato, who, as you know, was an incarnation of Thoth, who referred to Atlas as the sovereign of Atlantis, appointed by his father Poseidon.
Plato uses it as a sign of the three continents in the empire of Atlantis.
They became the first kings of Atlantis.
In Plato’s Critias and Timaeus, Poseidon receives the island of Atlantis.
He then divides Atlantis into ten parts, one for each son.
Poseidon is the divine founder of Atlantis, and his ten sons with Cleito rule it.
He also argues that the myths of Poseidon in Greece, Rome and elsewhere go back to a real Atlantis.
Bridgman-Metchum also sees Poseidon as the founder and divine protector of Atlantis.
For him, Poseidon’s rule over the waters stands for the power and the isolation of Atlantis.
In "Atlantis: The Antediluvian World" by Ignatius Donnelly, it is stated that the Egyptians, the Guanches of the Canary Islands, and the Peruvians all shared this belief and practiced mummification as a result.
Similarly, the "1903 Bridgman-Metchum Atlantis" book also describes a culture with similar practices and beliefs regarding the preservation of the dead.
Plato's accounts of Atlantis focus more on the description of the island, its advanced civilization, its geographic and political structure, and its eventual downfall due to moral decay and divine retribution.
In the "Critias," Plato provides a detailed description of the physical and social structure of Atlantis, its kings, and its military power.
Therefore, the references to mummification in the books by Bridgman-Metchum and Donnelly are likely their interpretations and expansions of the cultural practices of a hypothetical advanced civilization like Atlantis, influenced by known practices from ancient civilizations such as Egypt, rather than direct citations from Plato's works.
According to Cayce, Atlantis was a highly advanced civilization located from the Gulf of Mexico to Gibraltar.
Edgar Cayce referred to Bimini as one of the mountaintops of ancient Atlantis.
Through destructive misuse of advanced technology, Atlantis was destroyed over a period of thousands of years, with a final catastrophic event circa 10,000 B.C.
“Atlantis was My work: from the very beginning till the end I created the spiritual culture of Atlantis.
The word Cairo in Atlantis meant Earth: Earth as a living planet
“Atlantis was My ‘earth’.
From Atlantis this name came to the capital of Egypt.
“Were You a priest in Atlantis?”
“I am one of many Atlanteans who continued to work on the Earth after the destruction of Atlantis.
“Thus I recreated in Greece all the best from the culture of Atlantis — hoping to preserve it in the memory of people on the Earth for many centuries."
In making a connection with Atlantis, the reading promptly focused in on the influence of a single prominent Atlantean named Iltar who migrated to the Yucatan just prior to the final destruction of Atlantis:
Then, with the leavings of the civilization in Atlantis (in Poseidia, more specific), Iltar - with a group of followers that had been of the household of Atlan, the followers of the worship of the ONE with some ten individuals - left this land Poseidia, and came westward, entering what would now be a portion of Yucatan.
There had been the upheavals also from the land of Mu, or Lemuria, and these had their part in the changing, or there was the injection of their tenets in the varied portions of the land - which was much greater in extent until the final upheaval of Atlantis, or the islands that were later upheaved, when much of the contour of the land in Central America and Mexico was changed to that similar in outline to that which may be seen in the present.
That now being found, and a portion already discovered that has laid in waste for many centuries, was then a combination of those peoples from Mu, Oz and Atlantis.
Note that Iltar traveled to the Yucatan with a group of followers of the Law of One to build temples and provide a repository for a copy of the records of Atlantis for posterity.
With the final destruction on Atlantis, the physical contour of what is now Central America was changed as that land also experienced upheavals.
The records of Atlantis that were transported to the Yucatan have not yet been recovered, although the readings insist that will eventually happen.
Reading 5750-1 also documents how the Mayan civilization was actually a composite of various sources, including Atlantis, Lemuria, and even the lost tribes of the Hebrew peoples.
In one major Atlantis narrative, the nation’s sacred emblem is not a sun disk alone and not a simple Christian cross.
What was the sacred symbol of Atlantis?
Bridgman-Metchim’s 1900 book Atlantis: The Book of the Angels, it is that four-armed Cross: the victorious standard of Emperor Tekthah, later feared and venerated in every Temple of the Sun.
The book is a literary and visionary Atlantis narrative from 1900.
Mixing those layers into one flat “Atlantis had this cross” claim is how a symbol page loses the visitor who only asked what the sacred symbol was.
Bridgman-Metchim, Atlantis: The Book of the Angels (London: Swan Sonnenschein, 1900).
In Bridgman-Metchim, the sacred symbol of Atlantis is Tekthah’s four-armed Cross.
Amaziel brought out from the central tower the sacred symbol of Atlantis, the four-armed Cross, that had led the nation under great Tekthah to its victorious empire, and with a shout lifted it towards the sky.
Source: Bridgman-Metchim, Atlantis: The Book of the Angels (1900).
How I use the decline beat: as a fall motif that parallels other Atlantis destruction and deluge stories I already track, including the destruction of Atlantis described in the deluge legends.
After Bridgman-Metchim, nineteenth-century diffusion writers placed cross signs in the New World beside Atlantis claims.
Ignatius Donnelly, in Atlantis: The Antediluvian World (1882), Part V, Chapter I, reports Toltec religion and cross use through Dêsirè Charnay’s Tula notes:
The Toltecs possessed a pure and simple religion, like that of Atlantis, as described by Plato, with the same sacrifices of fruits and flowers; they were farmers; they raised and wove cotton; they cultivated fruits; they used the sign of the Cross extensively; …
Source: Ignatius Donnelly, Atlantis: The Antediluvian World, Part V, Chapter I (Sacred Texts).
Toltec religion is “like that of Atlantis, as described by Plato,” and the Toltecs used the sign of the Cross extensively.
There he ties the four rivers of paradise, running North, South, East, and West, to the origin of the cross sign among Atlantis-descended or Atlantis-influenced peoples.
How I use the comparative layer: as secondary trails that explain why New World crosses appear near Atlantis pages.
The sacred symbol in that 1900 Atlantis narrative is Tekthah’s four-armed Cross, the victory standard later kept in each Temple of the Sun.
I use it as a labeled fall motif beside other Atlantis destruction trails.
In Bridgman-Metchim, Atlantis’s sacred symbol is the four-armed Tekthah Cross.
What was the sacred symbol of Atlantis?In Bridgman-Metchim’s Atlantis: The Book of the Angels (1900), it is the four-armed Cross, Tekthah’s victorious standard.
Is the four-armed cross of Atlantis historical?No dig proves it.
Bridgman-Metchim’s Cross is a 1900 novel’s Atlantis symbol.
How does it relate to other crosses?Donnelly and related writers cite New World, Toltec, Tau, and paradise-river crosses as Atlantis diffusion claims.
How does this help Atlantis research?The four-armed Cross plus Temple of the Sun placement gives a clear literary symbol trail.
I use all three as source-critical research, not as dug proof of one Atlantis cross.
The destruction of Atlantis described in the deluge legends: Donnelly’s Atlantis fall and deluge spine beside the idolatry-decline motif.
Noah condemns the idolatrous practices and warns that Atlantis will be destroyed.
Azta’s journey in “Atlantis: The Book of the Angels” runs from her rise to power, through her relationships, to her final downfall.
Azta is deeply ambitious and wants power in Atlantis.
She also faces the rebellion and unrest that finally break out in Atlantis.

As leader and prophet, Noah had to deal with many kinds of people, in his family and across Atlantis.
The armada stands for the military might and advanced technology of Atlantis.
War for Control of Atlantis (Toltiah vs.
Motives: Toltiah wants to rule Atlantis and take the throne.
Who is fighting: The forces of Atlantis, led by Toltiah, against rebel groups in the city of Zul and around it.
Motives: These sea battles are part of Atlantis’s effort to control key waterways and protect its interests at sea.
Who is fighting: Noah preaches a holy war and leads his followers against the corrupt and depraved parts of Atlantis.
Atlantis becomes a watery wasteland.
The disasters bring severe famine and outbreaks of disease to Atlantis.
Noah and other prophets in the book foresee the destruction of Atlantis as God’s punishment for the people’s constant sins and idolatry.
The story often says the sins of Atlantis provoke heaven.
This leads to a cosmic crisis and a final day of judgment that seals the fate of Atlantis.
The people of Atlantis practice extreme idolatry.

These "gods" were likely their highly civilized ancestors, the people of Atlantis, who influenced many Mediterranean civilizations.
The Mayas, who claim their civilization came from across the sea from the east (Atlantis), inherited their alphabet from the Colhuas, whose era ended around 1000 BCE.
The numerous resemblances between the Maya and European alphabets suggest a common origin, likely from Atlantis.
Atlantis: A plausible theory is that the advanced metallurgical skills of the Bronze Age were inherited from Atlantis.
Plato describes Atlantis as a highly civilized society skilled in metalworking and possessing vast fleets, which could explain the widespread distribution of bronze artifacts in Europe.
Atlantis, as described by Plato, fits the profile of a civilization advanced enough to develop and spread bronze technology.
If we accept the tradition of Genesis, where Japheth is one of the sons of Noah who survived the Deluge, then the Aryan or Japhetic race likely originated from Atlantis.
Winchell states that the early dispersal of the Japhethites or Indo-Europeans is consistent with the Biblical narrative, placing the Hamites, Semites, and Japhethites in a common homeland, possibly Atlantis.
If the ships of Atlantis reached the shores of Syria, only 200 miles away from Armenia, it is plausible that the population of Armenia could have been colonists from Atlantis.
The Kelts, an Aryan race, are believed to have been part of the population of Atlantis.
Greek mythology, which includes the Flood narrative and the Titans' rebellion, also points to a shared origin with Atlantis.
The Aryans' homeland is hypothesized to be a peaceful, civilized land, free from wild beasts and barbarian threats, characteristics that fit the description of Atlantis.
The Greek god Zeus, associated with Atlantis, parallels the Hindoo god Dyaus, indicating a shared origin.
The Hindoo god Deva-Nahusha, identified with Dionysos, was a king of Meru, which Theopompus described as the land of the Meropes, or the people of Atlantis.
The civilization and influence of Atlantis extended to Europe, Africa, and America.
The Aryans in India are believed to have migrated from the west, further supporting the theory of a western origin, possibly Atlantis.
As we delve further into the past towards the era of Atlantis, the evidences of a great, wise, and civilized race become increasingly apparent.
Many practices, such as circumcision, likely originated in Atlantis.
This cultural and health practice spread with colonists from Atlantis, ultimately reaching Europe and beyond.
The main island featured volcanic mountains, with perpetual snow-capped peaks, elevated table-lands with royal establishments, and the "great plain of Atlantis." Rivers flowed from a central point in all directions, and the climate was mild, akin to the Azores.
The similarities in customs and beliefs on both sides of the Atlantic suggest a shared origin in Atlantis.
For instance, the Western world's use of domestic cattle and major cereals, which were not indigenous to America, implies a closer historical connection between Atlantis and Europe.
The plough, a significant agricultural tool, was present in ancient Egypt and Peru, implying its use in Atlantis.
The collapse of Atlantis, remembered as a cataclysmic event, left an indelible mark on human history, preserved in legends and traditions across cultures.
The invention of gunpowder might trace back to Atlantis.
This suggests that modern democratic governance may trace its roots back to Atlantis.
The evidence suggests that the Phœnician-Hebrew family, central to Semitic tradition, originated from Atlantis.
The Etruscans, whose bronze artifacts resemble those from Atlantis, are now believed to be part of the Turanian family.
This linguistic unity points to a widespread influence from a central source, likely Atlantis.
Atlantis: Plato's description of Atlantis mirrors the situation in Peru, with vast accumulations of gold and silver used to adorn temples and sacred spaces, rather than for practical purposes.
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.
Ignatius Donnelly, in Atlantis: The Antediluvian World, argues that the gods of the Phoenicians were, like the gods of the Greeks, the remembered kings of Atlantis.
The full chapter is on https://drumsofatlantis.com/book/atlantis-the-antediluvian-world/the-gods-of-the-phoenician-also-kings-of-atlantis.
Sanchoniathon makes Ouranos the son of Autochthon, and Plato names an Autochthon among the ten kings of Atlantis.
The Phoenician legends, Donnelly notes, also name Poseidon (see https://drumsofatlantis.com/poseidon), the founder and king of Atlantis.
Chronos gives Attica to his daughter Athena, and in a time of plague he sacrifices his son to Ouranos and "circumcised himself, and compelled his allies to do the same thing." Donnelly traces the rite back to Atlantis.
Ignatius Donnelly opens this chapter of Atlantis: The Antediluvian World (1882) with a line he credits to Lord Bacon.
Ignatius Donnelly believed that older people was Atlantis.
Donnelly claims that Peru, "worshipping the sun and moon and planets," with "its sacrifices of fruits and flowers," keeps the old religion of Atlantis most closely.
Donnelly claims the Greeks were too young to have shared the religion of Atlantis but kept a memory of it, and so "proceeded to convert its kings into gods, and to depict Atlantis itself as the heaven of the human race." He supports this with Murray's "Mythology."
According to Donnelly, Greek tradition placed the island of Olympus "in the far west," "in the ocean beyond Africa," and "on the western boundary of the known world." He adds that Plato puts the land where Poseidon and Atlas ruled in Atlantis.
In Plato's account Poseidon was the god of Atlantis, and in Greek myth he was the god of the sea.
Ignatius Donnelly argued in Atlantis: The Antediluvian World (1882) that the syllables Ad-, Atl- and At- in the oldest names of many peoples point back to Atlantis, which he also called "Ad-lantis".
This page follows his chapter on the Traditions of Atlantis (Part IV, Chapter I) and sets out his examples one people at a time.
The links to Atlantis are Donnelly's reading, not a settled fact.
Donnelly thought the Adites were probably the people of Atlantis.
Donnelly reads it as a copy of the palace and garden of Atlantis.
Donnelly saw a memory of the sinking of Atlantis here, and the names are close to Adam and Eve (see Eve).
Donnelly saw "Ad-itya" as another echo of the Adites and of Atlantis.
For his wider reading of Genesis, see Genesis: the history of Atlantis.
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.
This page follows Ignatius Donnelly's chapter "Civilization an Inheritance", the first chapter of Part III of Atlantis: The Antediluvian World.
In his view it was handed down from one ancient source, Atlantis.
Donnelly says that many essential arts and inventions go back to Atlantis, or to the ancient Egyptian civilization, which grew out of Atlantis.
In six thousand years the world made no advance on the civilization which it received from Atlantis.
Donnelly sees the ancient world as keeping what Atlantis gave it, not adding to it.
Instead, he holds that all civilized nations inherited them from one ancient, advanced civilization, Atlantis.
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.
All lines lead to Atlantis.
In Donnelly's view, every advanced civilization goes back to one common source, Atlantis.
The next chapter of his book compares them in detail; see also American evidences of intercourse with Europe or Atlantis.
Legacy of Atlantis: many essential arts and technologies go back to Atlantis and early Egyptian civilization.
Inherited civilization: advanced civilizations go back to a common source, Atlantis.
In Atlantis: The Antediluvian World, Ignatius Donnelly gathers the flood stories of the Americas and reads them as memories of Atlantis.
Donnelly's answer is that the legends did not come by the Aleutian Islands or with Buddhists from Asia but from "an actual knowledge of Atlantis possessed by the people of America." In his view the great nations of America were "simply colonies from Atlantis".
Donnelly also reads the Aztec homeland Aztlan as Atlantis.
In the next chapter Donnelly sets the legends against volcanic eruptions of his own century, such as Galung Gung in Java, the volcanic island raised near Sicily, and the rain of mud and sulphur on Dominica, and argues that Atlantis went down in the same way.
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.
