In the mid-1930s, with support from geologists like Richard Field and William Bowie, Ewing secured ship time on the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s research vessel RV Atlantis.
After joining Columbia University in 1946 (full professor in 1947), Ewing secured two months aboard RV Atlantis in summer 1947 for his first major post-war expedition focused on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
275–294), Ewing described results from the 1947 expedition (sometimes called Atlantis Cruise 150).
A key detail repeatedly highlighted in Atlantis discussions: cores recovered sand resembling beach sand (coarse, clean sand like that found in coastal or littoral environments) from depths of roughly 2 miles (about 3,000+ meters) on or near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, including areas associated with the Azores region or its extensions.
Atlantis proponents (e.g., in online discussions, books, and videos referencing Randall Carlson or similar researchers) interpret the “beach sand” at depth as evidence that parts of the ridge or nearby areas were once above sea level or near coastlines relatively recently (e.g., post-Ice Age or ~20,000 years ago in some claims), potentially linking it to Plato’s description of a sunken island.
Ewing himself presented it strictly as a geological observation without referencing Atlantis, Plato, or any lost civilization.
It includes a reference to the “Atlantis-Plato-Cruiser-Great Meteor Seamount Chain” south of the Azores.
There are real seamounts named Atlantis Seamount, Plato Seamount, Cruiser Seamount, etc., part of a chain extending from the Azores area toward the Great Meteor Seamount.
These names likely come from exploratory ships (like RV Atlantis) or conventional naming practices, with “Plato” possibly nodding to the philosopher in a light or coincidental way.
Ignatius Donnelly is best remembered today for his influential scientific and historical writings, particularly Atlantis: The Antediluvian World (1882), which popularized the modern theory of Atlantis as a real ancient civilization.
His most famous work, Atlantis: The Antediluvian World (1882), argued that Plato’s account of Atlantis was largely factual.
He proposed that Atlantis was a real advanced civilization destroyed by a cataclysm (linked to the biblical Flood) and that it served as the source of all major ancient cultures through hyperdiffusion.
The book cited evidence from mythology, linguistics, and archaeology and became a bestseller that shaped popular interest in Atlantis for decades.
In Ragnarok: The Age of Fire and Gravel (1883), Ignatius Donnelly advanced a catastrophist theory, claiming that a comet’s near-collision with Earth caused the biblical Flood, the destruction of Atlantis, and the extinction of mammoths.
Literarily, Atlantis: The Antediluvian World revived interest in Plato’s lost continent and promoted ideas of cultural diffusion and ancient catastrophes that echoed in 20th-century history and works by authors such as Immanuel Velikovsky.
Scholars dismissed Atlantis and Ragnarok as lacking credible evidence and relying on selective or misinterpreted data.
Despite the criticism, his Atlantis book remained popular with general readers and helped establish themes still present in alternative archaeology today.
While his political influence waned and his theories were largely discredited by experts, his writings on Atlantis and ancient mysteries left a lasting mark on popular culture and continue to be referenced in discussions of lost civilizations.
What she knows about Atlantis and Lemuria (from the interview)
Halu Gamashi presents Lemuria and Atlantis as real civilizations that existed on the same planetary space as modern Earth, but at earlier stages when the planet was less dense (more water, less land).
Atlantis came later as descendants of Lemurians.
In Lemuria and Atlantis the third eye was open.
She stresses that artists often channel these ancient energies and that learning from the mistakes of Atlantis helps avoid repeating them now.
Atlantis:"The Lemurians were a people with impressive spirituality… They were hermaphroditic beings… The Atlanteans already had a difference.
Her sections focus on her background, the chakra and transmigration experiences, the detailed comparison of Lemuria and Atlantis, the inheritance of the spiritual mind, and the call to reactivate it in daily life.
Her most significant work, The Secret Doctrine (1888), presented a comprehensive cosmological system involving seven root races, cycles of evolution, and the hidden history of humanity, including references to Atlantis and Lemuria.
Rudolf Steiner devoted significant attention to the lost continent of Atlantis in his esoteric writings and lectures, particularly in Cosmic Memory.
Drawing on what he described as clairvoyant investigation of the Akashic records, Steiner portrayed Atlantis as a real historical landmass in the Atlantic Ocean inhabited by a spiritually evolved humanity during the Atlantean epoch.
According to Rudolf Steiner, the decline and submersion of Atlantis resulted from increasing materialism, misuse of spiritual forces, and moral degeneration, events he linked to a great flood marking the transition to the current post-Atlantean epoch.
His descriptions of Atlantis, Lemuria, and human evolution have been labeled pseudohistory.
It remains a foundational text in Theosophical, and Atlantis-related literature.
Central themes include reincarnation, karma (“whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”), the moral and spiritual causes behind Atlantis’s cataclysmic fall, personalized afterlife realms, and a hidden Lemurian sanctuary beneath Mount Shasta.
A Dweller on Two Planets has exerted significant influence on Atlantis, Lemuria, Mount Shasta as a spiritual power center, and reincarnation.
Matías De Stefano (born August 4, 1987) retained detailed memories of past lives, pre-birth existence, and multidimensional realities, including experiences in Atlantis and other ancient or extraterrestrial contexts.
His content often addresses Atlantis (describing it as a civilization that grew significantly around 15,000 years ago during the Virgo era, with earlier roots), ancient civilizations, soul journeys, dimensions, and practical tools for conscious living.
Her expansive narratives on extraterrestrials, Atlantis, and multi-dimensional realities were often classified as fringe or pseudoscientific.
He became known as the “Sleeping Prophet.” His readings primarily addressed health diagnoses and treatments, but also covered reincarnation, past lives, dreams, ancient civilizations including Atlantis, spiritual growth, and some prophecies about future events.
These sessions introduced topics such as reincarnation and Atlantis for the first time.
Examples include the rediscovery of Atlantis records around 1968–1969, the return of Jesus in 1998, and China becoming a primary center of Christianity by 1968.
Critics described elements of the readings on Atlantis, Lemuria, and human origins as pseudohistory.
He refers to the Rosicrucian tradition and how knowledge from previous high cultures, including Atlantis, was passed down to various civilizations.
The mighty High Priest Imhotep of Atlantis was ruler of the tribe that took its wisdom to the west to form the Native American culture. The Cherokees were Wise Ones who carried the secrets of Atlantis. They brought their knowledge of shamanism and soul retrieval to the peoples, as well as their special abilities to work with dreams using dream catchers.
One of the gifts that was entrusted to them at the end of Atlantis was that of honouring the land including all things living in it and on it.
According to ancient Cherokee tradition, their ancestors came from the Pleiades to the five islands of Atlantis, where they settled. Then, at the fall of Atlantis, the tribe sailed to the Americas taking their wisdom with them.
Those who were there at the beginning and end of this phase of Atlantis were Thoth, Isis, Horus, Ra, Sett and Imhotep. They were connected to Egypt.
Edgar Cayce described Atlantis as having experienced three main periods of destruction or major upheavals.
That land along the Atlantic seaboard formed the outer portion then, or the lowlands of Atlantis.
This placement aligns with the overall structure of Cayce’s Atlantis material, which covers a long span from early soul projections and land configurations (before 50,000 BC) through the three destruction cycles down to the final sinking around 10,500 BC.
The vast timeline references in 364-13 (such as millions of years in some contextual statements) refer to the deep antiquity of these early events rather than the later, more technologically developed phases of Atlantis.
Look it how Schlemmer describe the medical technology of the Atlantis:
In Schlemmer's book, The Only Planet of Choice: Essential Briefings from Deep Space, a compilation of earlier recorded channeling sessions, she was asked to describe numerous aspects of Atlantis, and regarding our topic, claimed, “In Atlantean medicine it was possible to replace even the true heart and the true brain.
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.
And the change was brought principally by a vast comet that crossed the path of Planet Earth during the end times of Atlantis and which moved the civilization to a point of completion.
Question: Was hubris the vibrational aspect that drew the comet to destroy Atlantis?
There are many versions of Earth where Atlantis was not destroyed.
The leader is identified as “Tim from Poseidia, Atlantis.” The event involved representatives from various groups and nations who gathered to address the problem of large, marauding beasts overrunning parts of the earth, including areas associated with Atlantis.
The people of Atlantis constantly experimented with obtaining energy from natural sources.
Seafaring merchants brought uranium to laboratories in Atlantis from mines adjacent to rivers leading to the ocean, such as the one in nearby Gabon, West Africa, which was mined extensively in antiquity.
After the ceremonies in those halcyon days of Golden Atlantis, filled with light and joy, families and communities would cluster round the stones in groups and relate tales, sing and chant.
Zangger linked the symbol to the city of Troy, which he identified as Atlantis in an earlier study.
Several writers have suggested a connection between labyrinths and Atlantis.
Lewis Spence explored this idea in his book The History of Atlantis.
Brady discussed it in his book Atlantis and wrote that Atlantean gold treasure lies inside a labyrinth on the Greek island of Lemnos.
Cayce indicated that these were first used in Atlantis and then later became a part of Egyptian temple practice.
These temple-based ceremonies and devices originated or were already in use in Atlantis and were later developed further in Egypt under Ra-Ta.
Cayce stated that the misuse of the Tuaoi Stone (and similar crystals) was one of the major factors that led to the final destruction of Atlantis.
Atlantis possessed a sophisticated global crystal energy grid — a network of large crystals placed at key points across the planet, connected through energetic lines (similar to ley lines but crystalline in nature).
Over time, as Atlantis grew into a powerful empire, certain groups began using this crystal grid for control, domination, and personal power rather than for unity and service.
The Tuaoi Stone (also called the Firestone, Great Crystal, or Terrible Crystal) is one of the most famous and detailed elements from Edgar Cayce’s psychic readings on Atlantis.
The Tuaoi Stone was housed in a special temple or power station, often referred to in connection with the main temple complex of Atlantis.
Cayce stated that the misuse of the Tuaoi Stone (and similar crystals) was one of the major factors that led to the final destruction of Atlantis.
And this was a transmitter of the intergalactic forces that poured into your Earth’s atmosphere — solar, lunar, and stellar energies poured into Atlantis — and which generated a superpower beyond description, an electromagnetic force for all of the systems of energy that sustained the lives that you lived as Atlanteans.
Temple of Zul (Temple of the Lord of Light) in “Atlantis: The Book of the Angels” by D.
This is the temple from the 1903 visionary/interpretive work Atlantis: The Book of the Angels (sometimes styled Atlantis, the Book of the Angels), which presents a dramatic, often grim account of pre-flood Atlantean civilization centered on the characters Azta (Tizin Azta, empress/queen figure), Tekthah, Huitza, and others.
Zul functions as both the name of the sacred capital city of Atlantis (described as greater than Babylon, built by conquered nations) and the central deity — a hermaphrodite Sun/Lord of Light figure worshipped with awe, idolatry, and elements of obscenity.
First the Intergalactic Council built the Temple of Poseidon, sometimes known as the Cathedral of the Sacred Heights, which contained the Great Crystal, the generator crystal of Atlantis.
Atlantis and the new consciousness
Cayce placed this in a timeframe of hundreds of thousands of years ago, during the initial development of Atlantis.
Early Atlantis period — Souls first began projecting into the earth plane as “thought-form” beings.
Genesis 1 (“male and female created he them”) → Corresponds to this early androgynous Sons of God phase in Atlantis.
According to Cayce, we were still androgynous “Sons of God” during the early Atlantean era, hundreds of thousands of years ago — specifically in the time of Amilius, before the first major destruction of Atlantis (~50,000 BC) and before souls became fully locked into separate male and female physical bodies.
In Edgar Cayce’s readings, “sons and daughters of men” (or “sons of men” / “daughters of men”) carries both a specific historical/esoteric meaning tied to Atlantis and pre-flood times, and a broader spiritual meaning referring to ordinary incarnated humanity.
He places this drama in Atlantis (which he called the “Eden of the world”).
The mixing (“pollution of lineages”) between the spiritual “Sons of God” and the more material “daughters of men” is portrayed as a major cause of Atlantis’s moral decline, internal divisions, wars, and eventual physical destructions.
Outside the Atlantis story, Cayce uses “sons and daughters of men” more generally to mean human beings living in the material, physical world — incarnated souls dealing with karma, doubts, fears, ego, and earthly limitations.
In Cayce, “Sons of God” directly names the spiritually superior group in the Atlantis drama.
This fits into broader early Egyptian history and the esoteric and Atlantis-related topics I research (e.g., Manetho's lists, predynastic transitions, and legendary unifiers), where such kings bridge mythical "god-kings" and historical rulers.
The people of Atlantis, living at a fifth-dimensional frequency, worked with twelve chakras or spiritual energy centres.
When our spiritual connection lessened, during the fall of Atlantis, the three upper chakras fell dormant.
Many beings from different parts of the galaxy visited Atlantis, including those from Egypt and Europe.
Working through twelve advanced Beings (collectively called the Alta) they set up the new Atlantis in twelve regions.
Atlantis and the new consciousness
Because of the Veil of Amnesia, the people who were incarnate in Atlantis were unconscious that they were participating in a divine experiment.
They maintained intergalactic contact, reporting on the progress of the Atlantis experiment to the Great Council and taking decisions with them about the future.
The great High Priest, Thoth, channelled the Seven Spiritual Laws for Atlantis and a great many subsidiary laws.
Amongst the first 84,000 volunteers for Atlantis were those who carried the necessary skills and qualities to act as priests and priestesses.
All levels of the priesthood were the guardians of spirituality within Atlantis.
As Atlantis evolved, suitable beings who had the knowledge, wisdom and experience appropriate to command the experiment at that time were invited to take on this role.
Those who were there at the beginning and end of this phase of Atlantis were Thoth, Isis, Horus, Ra, Sett and Imhotep.
When Atlantis started to devolve, temples were more elaborately decorated and the clothing of the priests became richer.
Visions of Atlantis about Frederik Oliver's book
Witchcraft was a popular occupation in Atlantis and Atlantean witches carried their techniques with them as they moved from their country; segments of their know-how survived and were practiced in widely separated areas contiguous to the Atlantic Ocean.
Atlantis is the only possibility.
