The Exodus to Egypt
Atlantis was a civilization settled around the islands in the Atlantic Ocean, specifically around the Cape Verde Islands, the Canary Islands, and the Azores.
Cayce’s readings reveal that Hept-Supht was among the leaders who guided a group of Atlanteans to Egypt before the final cataclysms that destroyed Atlantis.

Poseid - The name of the civilization, often associated with Atlantis, a mythical island or continent believed to have existed in the distant past with advanced technology.
Atlantis - A legendary island mentioned in various historical texts, associated with advanced technology and mystical knowledge.
Through this wisdom Atlantis found it possible to adjust weight (positiveness) to lack of weight (negativeness) so evenly that no "tug of war" was manifest.

Finally, strange and paradoxical as it may appear, this betterment is the direct child of the old-time rights extorted by might in Poseid, and to-day, reincarnated offspring of reincarnated oppression, as in Atlantis oppression sprang reincarnate from the grave of other ages gone before, previous to the wondrous memorial of Gizeh.
Aura Charts for Two Atlanteans
Chapter 6 of Edgar Cayce's "Atlantis" focuses on the concept of auras and how they relate to the spiritual and physical well-being of individuals, particularly those who have past-life connections to Atlantis.
These charts were used to diagnose and interpret the spiritual and physical states of these individuals, providing insights into how their past lives in Atlantis influenced their present conditions.
Cayce emphasized that the auras of individuals with past lives in Atlantis often contain specific patterns and colors that reflect their experiences from that time.
Cayce’s readings suggest that understanding these aura patterns can help individuals recognize and work through karmic influences carried over from Atlantis.
First Case Study: In the first case, the individual's aura revealed a strong connection to the healing practices of Atlantis.
Second Case Study: The second case involved an individual whose aura indicated a deep-seated fear of water, which Cayce traced back to a traumatic experience during the destruction of Atlantis.
Chapter 6 highlights the importance of auras as a diagnostic and healing tool, particularly for those with past-life connections to Atlantis.
Atlantean priestess Alyne
Chapter 5 of Edgar Cayce's "Atlantis" focuses on the figure of Alyne, a notable Atlantean who served as both a priestess and a physician.
This chapter sheds light on the intertwined nature of spirituality and medicine in Atlantis and how individuals like Alyne embodied this integration.
As a priestess, Alyne was deeply involved in the spiritual practices of Atlantis.
Cayce’s readings suggest that Alyne’s legacy continued even after the fall of Atlantis, as her teachings were carried forward by those who survived and migrated to other parts of the world.
Her dual roles as a priestess and physician demonstrate that in Atlantis, healing was understood as a sacred practice requiring spiritual insight and practical knowledge.
This chapter also underscores the idea that the wisdom and practices of ancient Atlantis continue to influence the present day, primarily through the reincarnation of souls who carry forward their knowledge from past lives.
It suggests that modern healers and spiritual leaders who feel a connection to Atlantis might be drawing on ancient wisdom preserved across lifetimes, with Alyne’s teachings being a significant part of that legacy.
Hept-Supht
Chapter 4 of Edgar Cayce's "Atlantis" focuses on the Great Hept-Supht, who is described as an important Atlantean figure with a role in both the spiritual and material development of ancient Egypt.
This chapter ties the legacy of Atlantis to the foundational myths and historical events of other ancient civilizations, particularly Egypt, and highlights how Atlantean knowledge and influence extended beyond their own civilization.
The chapter begins by introducing Hept-Supht as a key figure from Atlantis who played a crucial role during the later years of the civilization, particularly as it began to decline.
Cayce’s readings describe him as being responsible for some of the most significant advancements in energy manipulation, construction, and spiritual practices in Atlantis.
He was one of the few who remained dedicated to the spiritual ideals of Atlantis even as the society around him became increasingly corrupt and materialistic.
During the final years of Atlantis, Hept-Supht, along with a group of like-minded Atlanteans, recognized the impending destruction of their land due to the misuse of power and the neglect of spiritual laws.
Cayce’s readings reveal that Hept-Supht was among the leaders who guided a group of Atlanteans to Egypt before the final cataclysms that destroyed Atlantis.
This migration was part of a broader effort to ensure that the spiritual and technological knowledge of Atlantis would survive and be integrated into other emerging civilizations.
According to Cayce, this influence is reflected in the construction of the Great Pyramid and other monumental structures, which were built with techniques and knowledge directly passed down from Atlantis.
He was instrumental in the creation of what Cayce refers to as the "Hall of Records" a hidden repository of knowledge that contains the history of Atlantis, its advanced technologies, and spiritual teachings.
The readings suggest that the Hall of Records is linked to the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx, both of which are seen as monuments to the enduring legacy of Atlantis.
Chapter 4 emphasizes the enduring connection between Atlantis and ancient Egypt, with Hept-Supht serving as a critical link between these two great civilizations.
His efforts to preserve Atlantean knowledge ensured that it would not be lost entirely with the destruction of Atlantis but would continue to influence human development through other cultures.
Past-Life Readings for Reincarnated Atlanteans
For example, individuals who were involved in the misuse of power or technology in Atlantis might now face difficulties related to authority, ethics, or the responsible use of knowledge.
Conversely, those who were spiritually advanced in Atlantis might find themselves naturally inclined toward mystical or healing professions.
The concept of karma is central to these readings, suggesting that the actions taken by individuals in Atlantis have consequences that carry over into their subsequent lifetimes.
Individuals who feel an inexplicable attraction to Atlantis, or who have recurring dreams or memories of a lost civilization, might also be experiencing echoes of their Atlantean past lives.
This often relates to the idea of completing unfinished work from their time in Atlantis, such as bringing forth lost knowledge or helping to guide humanity through similar challenges that Atlantis faced.
Cayce suggested that understanding one’s past life in Atlantis can be crucial for healing present-life issues.
By recognizing and addressing the karmic influences from Atlantis, individuals can work to overcome deep-seated fears, phobias, or obstacles that may have their roots in past-life traumas or misdeeds.
Cayce’s readings suggest that many of the people who were reincarnated from Atlantis are now in positions of influence in modern society, particularly in fields related to technology, science, spirituality, and governance.
These individuals may be unconsciously repeating patterns from Atlantis, both positive and negative.
He also proposed that the resurgence of interest in Atlantis in modern times might be linked to the reincarnation of Atlantean souls, who feel an innate pull towards rediscovering and reconnecting with their ancient heritage.
The chapter includes numerous case studies where Cayce provides specific details about individuals' past lives in Atlantis.
Some case studies highlight individuals who were involved in the catastrophic events leading to Atlantis's destruction.
Chapter 3 emphasizes the importance of recognizing and understanding past-life influences, particularly those from Atlantis.
By learning from their past, these individuals are in a unique position to contribute positively to society, helping to steer humanity towards a future that avoids the pitfalls that led to the downfall of Atlantis.
Crystal Technology & Spiritual lessons
Cayce warned that the misuse of crystal technology contributed to the downfall of Atlantis.
The overuse and misuse of these powerful tools led to the destabilization of the continent’s energies, which ultimately triggered natural disasters that destroyed Atlantis.
A central spiritual lesson from Atlantis, as conveyed by Cayce, is the principle of oneness.
Cayce suggested that many souls who lived during the time of Atlantis have reincarnated in modern times to resolve karmic debts and to relearn the lessons of responsibility and spiritual integrity.
Another significant spiritual lesson from Atlantis is the importance of maintaining a balance between material advancements and spiritual wisdom.
Humanity today faces similar choices, and the spiritual lessons from Atlantis urge us to use our free will wisely, in alignment with higher spiritual principles.
Healing Practices in Atlantis
Healing in Atlantis was not just physical but also mental and spiritual.
Atlantis Readings
Chapter 2 of Edgar Cayce's "Atlantis" explores readings that, while not originally part of the dedicated Atlantis series, provide additional insights and information on the fabled continent.
These readings are scattered across various sessions Cayce conducted for different individuals or groups, and they touch on various aspects of Atlantis, ranging from its technological advancements to its spiritual and moral teachings.
This chapter gathers readings that were given in response to queries not specifically focused on Atlantis but which nevertheless contained valuable information about the lost continent.
These readings were later recognized for their significance and were compiled to provide a more complete picture of Atlantis.
The readings often emerged in response to questions about personal health or past lives, where Cayce would reference the individual's connection to Atlantis, thereby revealing more about the civilization's practices and beliefs.
Cayce discusses how power struggles, greed, and the misuse of their technological capabilities ultimately led to catastrophic events, mirroring the themes explored in the dedicated Atlantis series.
These readings also touch on how survivors of Atlantis carried their knowledge to other parts of the world after the continent's destruction.
A recurring theme in these readings is the concept of reincarnation, where Cayce links the past lives of individuals to their present circumstances, often tracing their souls back to Atlantis.
This includes dealing with unresolved issues, rediscovering lost knowledge, or overcoming tendencies that led to Atlantis's downfall.
In several readings, Cayce provides cautionary advice for the present day, drawing parallels between modern society and Atlantis.
Cayce predicts that as humanity evolves, there will be a reawakening of the wisdom and technologies that were once Atlantis's hallmarks.
Numerous Readings: The readings in this chapter come from various sessions that were not specifically focused on Atlantis, yet they provide substantial details about the continent.
Case Studies: Many of the readings are tied to specific individuals who had past lives in Atlantis.
These case studies illustrate how the soul's journey through various incarnations, including those in Atlantis, influences their current life path, challenges, and opportunities for growth.
Applications to Modern Times: Cayce often links the information from these readings to contemporary issues, suggesting that the lessons of Atlantis are highly relevant to modern society.
The Atlantis Readings Series
In Chapter 1 of "Atlantis," Edgar Cayce delves into a specific series of readings that explore the lost continent of Atlantis, offering detailed accounts of its existence, development, and eventual destruction.
The chapter is part of a larger body of work where Cayce's readings—conducted in a trance state—describe various aspects of Atlantis, focusing on its history, culture, and significance.
The group was particularly interested in understanding the history and influence of Atlantis on the world.
Cayce asserted that Atlantis was not merely a myth but a real continent that existed thousands of years ago.
According to the readings, Atlantis played a crucial role in early human history and was a highly advanced society, far ahead of its time in terms of technology and spiritual understanding.
The readings describe Atlantis as a society that had mastered advanced technologies, including the use of crystals for energy, airships for travel, and even devices that could harness and manipulate atomic energy.
The readings describe multiple cataclysms that led to the sinking of Atlantis.
An important aspect of Cayce’s readings is the idea that many souls who lived in Atlantis have reincarnated in modern times.
He suggested that these individuals are often drawn to certain fields, such as technology, mysticism, or spiritual healing, because of their past lives in Atlantis.
Cayce’s readings also include prophecies about the future, suggesting that the knowledge of Atlantis would resurface in the modern era.
He predicted that certain parts of Atlantis might physically rise again, and that humanity would rediscover and apply the wisdom of the Atlanteans.
364-1 Reading: Cayce introduces the concept that Atlantis was not just an isolated civilization but had connections with other ancient cultures.
He mentions the possibility of rediscovering artifacts that would prove the existence of Atlantis, particularly in regions like Bimini.
364-4 Reading: The reading goes into the timeline of Atlantis, detailing how the civilization existed for tens of thousands of years before its ultimate destruction.
It also covers the geological changes that occurred during the various phases of Atlantis’s demise.
Bloodlines of Noah, Lake Van & the Anunnaki.
Their conversation spanned topics from ancient Sumer to the enigmatic sites in Turkey and beyond, linking these with civilizations in Atlantis, Peru, and Bolivia.
Matthew LaCroix responded by highlighting how his research had been focused on connecting these ancient flood stories with other global narratives, particularly those of Atlantis, Peru, and the Sumerian civilization.
The interview between Paul Wallis and Matthew LaCroix painted a picture of a lost chapter in human history, one that connects the ancient civilizations of Atlantis, Khem, Sumer, and the Americas.

Atlantis Connection To Abydos
This timeline stretches back to a period associated with the figure known as Zeptepi, the first era, which some researchers believe connects the legends of Atlantis with ancient Egypt.
The complex at Abydos includes the Temple of Seti I and the mysterious Osirion, an ancient structure partially submerged, which some believe to be a connection to the lost civilization of Atlantis.
This technology, they suggest, could have been brought from Atlantis, further linking Osiris, the god associated with the afterlife, to the lost city.
The legacy of Osiris, linked to the ancient civilization of Atlantis, suggests a broader narrative about the struggle for freedom, knowledge, and the cycle of life and death.
The teachings associated with Osiris and Atlantis may hold keys to ancient wisdom, urging humanity to recognize its potential and the deeper truths that lie within our shared history.
Thus shall Babylon sink
The First Babylon: Poseidi, the Capital of Atlantis
Atlantis and Poseidi: According to this theory, the first Babylon was actually Poseidi, the capital city of Atlantis.
Atlantis, as described by Plato, was a highly advanced civilization with significant technological and cultural achievements.
The Cataclysmic Event: Approximately 12,000 years ago, a cataclysmic event, possibly linked to rising sea levels or a massive earthquake, caused the sinking of Atlantis.
Atlantean Refugees: After the destruction of Atlantis, survivors of this advanced civilization fled to various parts of the world.
They brought with them the architectural and technological knowledge that they had developed in Atlantis, laying the groundwork for the advanced civilizations that would later arise in these regions.
The Tower of Babel: According to the Bible, the people of Babylon attempted to build a tower that would reach the heavens, symbolizing their desire to regain the power and knowledge of Atlantis.
Seeing their efforts as a challenge to divine authority, Yahweh intervened to prevent the completion of this tower, symbolizing the destruction of any attempt to recreate the power of Atlantis.
Divine Judgment: In this theory, Yahweh’s intervention is seen as a continuation of the divine forces that had already brought down Atlantis.
The destruction of the Tower of Babel and the scattering of the people can be viewed as Yahweh ensuring that no civilization would ever again reach the heights (both metaphorically and literally) of Atlantis.
For in one hour is thy judgment come.” Babylon is portrayed as a mighty and formidable city, similar to the advanced and well-fortified Atlantis described by Plato.
Atlantis in Plato’s Descriptions:
Atlantis’ Structure and Wealth: Plato describes Atlantis as a powerful empire, with a grand capital city (Poseidi) surrounded by concentric rings of water and land.
The Fall of Atlantis: According to Plato, Atlantis eventually fell out of favor with the gods due to its people’s hubris and was submerged by the sea as a divine punishment.
Isaiah 13:19: “And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.” This verse emphasizes Babylon’s glory and grandeur, similar to Plato’s description of Atlantis as a wealthy and powerful city.
Jeremiah 51:53: “Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the Lord.” This highlights Babylon's ambition and strength, which parallels the might of Atlantis.
For in one hour is thy judgment come.” Babylon is portrayed as a mighty and formidable city, similar to the advanced and well-fortified Atlantis described by Plato.
The downfall of Babylon as described in Revelation 18 and the mythological downfall of Atlantis share several thematic similarities.
Here’s a comparison, followed by alternative translations of the Revelation verses that align with the narrative of Atlantis:
Atlantis: According to Plato, Atlantis was a highly advanced and wealthy civilization, but over time, its people became corrupt, greedy, and morally bankrupt.
Atlantis: Atlantis, according to the myth, was destroyed by the gods as a punishment for its people’s hubris and moral decline.
Atlantis: While the myth doesn’t emphasize lamentation in the same way, the loss of Atlantis represents the fall of a great civilization, and its memory serves as a warning against the dangers of hubris and moral decay.
Atlantis: The destruction of Atlantis by submersion in the sea serves as a metaphor for its complete obliteration, erasing it from the map of the world.
Below is a full translation of Revelation 18, adapted to align with the narrative of the downfall of Atlantis, while maintaining a literal approach to the original Greek text.
The focus is on subtle reinterpretations that emphasize technology, industry, and the advanced nature of the civilization, akin to the myth of Atlantis.
standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Atlantis, the strong city!
Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great monolith and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Atlantis, the great city, be thrown down with violence, and will be found no more;
"Technology or industry": Incorporates the idea that Atlantis was known for its advanced technologies and industries, which will no longer be found.
"Monolith": Replaces "millstone" to evoke the grandeur and technological achievements of Atlantis, reflecting the significant structures or technologies that are now lost.
The Worship of the Sun
If we consider the hypothesis that the Atlanteans worshipped the Sun and that one of their central places of worship was a Temple of the Sun, this could provide a fascinating angle in the exploration of Atlantis, particularly when viewed through the lens of biblical prophecy and narratives like those in Ezekiel.
If we connect this biblical theme to Atlantis, one could speculate that if the Atlanteans were a powerful civilization engaged in sun worship, and if Yahweh desired their worship and loyalty, their devotion to the Sun rather than to Yahweh could have been seen as a major spiritual transgression.
Archaeological Clues: If exploring potential sites for Atlantis, especially in areas associated with sun worship, archaeologists might look for large temple ruins or structures oriented towards solar phenomena (e.g., solstices).
Comparative Religion: Understanding the religious practices of Atlantis, if it indeed existed, could offer insight into why their civilization might have been judged and ultimately destroyed.
Divine Judgment Parallel: The destruction of Atlantis could be interpreted as a form of divine judgment, similar to the biblical accounts where entire nations or cities were destroyed for their idolatry and moral corruption (e.g., Sodom and Gomorrah).
If Atlantis was destroyed because of its devotion to a Sun god rather than to the one true God (Yahweh), this might parallel the theological themes seen in Ezekiel and other prophetic books.
Identifying Worship Sites: If sun worship was central to Atlantean religion, the search for Atlantis could focus on finding ancient sites aligned with solar worship, which might have been significant cultural or religious centers.
Interpreting Myths and Legends: Myths about Atlantis might be reinterpreted in light of biblical narratives.
The fall of Atlantis could be seen not just as a natural disaster but as a divine act of judgment against a civilization that strayed from divine truth, similar to the prophetic condemnations of Israel and its neighbors.
If we accept that the Atlanteans worshipped the Sun and built grand temples dedicated to this deity, this could indeed provide valuable clues in the exploration of Atlantis.
By drawing parallels with the biblical accounts of idolatry and divine judgment, particularly in Ezekiel, we can hypothesize that Atlantis might have been a civilization that, like many others, fell due to its moral and spiritual failings.
This approach offers a unique and theologically rich perspective for understanding the potential fate of Atlantis within the broader context of ancient religious history.
Atlantis in the Old Testament
Given the recent discoveries and mounting evidence, it is now beyond question that Atlantis was not merely a myth but a real, ancient, and wealthy civilization that once existed.
The discovery of the Mount Los Atlantes seamount off the coast of the Canary Islands in 2024 has provided concrete geological evidence of a landmass that closely matches descriptions from Plato’s writings about Atlantis.
When we accept the reality of Atlantis, these "islands" can be interpreted as references to ancient, influential civilizations like Atlantis.
Atlantis, known for its incredible wealth and advanced society, fits the description of the distant lands referred to in Isaiah.
The Bible often speaks of powerful nations and their eventual judgment or redemption, and Atlantis could well be one of these nations, whose story was known and integrated into the cultural consciousness of the ancient world.
With the confirmation of Atlantis as a real place, biblical references to distant lands or islands can now be understood as potentially including Atlantis.
If we consider Atlantis as a historical reality, it provides a richer context for understanding the references to distant lands, wealth, and divine judgment within the prophetic books of the Old Testament.
With the acceptance of Atlantis as a real, highly advanced civilization, we can interpret these references more concretely.
Isaiah 23 (The Oracle Against Tyre): Tyre, a wealthy island city-state known for its trade and influence, could be seen as a historical counterpart to Atlantis.
The description of Tyre's eventual downfall due to its pride and reliance on wealth may echo the fate of Atlantis, suggesting a broader divine principle that no matter how powerful, all nations are subject to divine judgment.
With Atlantis in mind, these passages might not only be seen as specific to these cities but as reflecting a broader divine pattern where civilizations that rise to great heights can also fall due to moral failings.
The story of Atlantis’s destruction, submerged under the ocean due to divine displeasure, parallels the biblical narrative of the Great Flood:
If Atlantis was a real civilization destroyed by a great flood, this could add historical depth to the Genesis narrative, suggesting that the biblical flood story may have roots in collective memories of multiple cataclysmic events, including the destruction of Atlantis.
This "apocalypse" could be seen as reflecting memories of the catastrophic destruction of Atlantis, which serves as a historical example of divine judgment against human corruption on a grand scale.
The prophetic books are rich with symbolic language that could be reinterpreted in light of Atlantis:
Islands as Symbols of Distant and Forgotten Civilizations: Throughout Isaiah and other prophetic texts, references to "islands" or "coastlands" could symbolically include Atlantis, a distant and powerful civilization that was known in the ancient world but eventually forgotten or mythologized.
These narratives may be seen not just as specific historical events but as part of a larger pattern that includes the destruction of Atlantis—civilizations that reach the height of power but fall due to moral decay.
The existence of Atlantis can be woven into the biblical narrative as part of a broader story about divine judgment and the fate of nations:
Atlantis could be seen as a historical illustration of this theme, where an advanced and powerful civilization was brought low because of its hubris.
If Atlantis is included in this prophetic framework, it can be seen as one of the great civilizations that rose and fell, paving the way for the ultimate establishment of a divine kingdom.
The Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age of Atlantis
The legend of Atlantis, as recounted by Plato, tells of a highly advanced and prosperous civilization that eventually became corrupt and arrogant.
The people of Atlantis, once virtuous and in harmony with the divine, grew increasingly greedy, immoral, and power-hungry.
Their hubris led to their downfall when the gods, displeased with their corruption, caused Atlantis to sink into the ocean, wiping it from the face of the earth.
Similarly, the story of Atlantis illustrates the downfall of a civilization that fell victim to its own pride and moral corruption.
Just as the lofty towers and fortified walls in Isaiah are brought low, so too were the great structures and achievements of Atlantis destroyed by divine intervention.
In both Isaiah and the Atlantis narrative, the destruction is portrayed as a direct result of divine retribution.
Atlantis’s destruction can be seen as a parallel to this, where the gods punish the Atlanteans for their hubris, leading to their complete obliteration.
The moral decline of Atlantis is central to its narrative.
Isaiah 2:16-17 mentions the destruction of "trading ships and stately vessels," which can be symbolically linked to the wealth and power of Atlantis, emphasizing that no amount of human achievement can stand against divine judgment when moral corruption takes root.
Evidence of Atlantis was found in August 2024.
Recent discoveries have brought new insights into the legend of Atlantis, particularly with findings off the coast of the Canary Islands in 2024.
The discovery has led some scientists to speculate that this area might have inspired the ancient legend of Atlantis, as described by Plato.
This discovery aligns with Plato’s account of Atlantis, which was supposedly located beyond the "Pillars of Hercules" (the Strait of Gibraltar).
While this doesn't conclusively prove the existence of Atlantis as a historical fact, it adds a dimension to the ongoing exploration of ancient myths and their possible real-world origins (livescience.com, The Independent).
Critias, the story of Atlantis
The dialogue Critias by Plato is primarily focused on the story of Atlantis.
However, the specific sections that deal directly with Atlantis are as follows:
Critias 108d - 109a: This section introduces Atlantis as part of a broader narrative related to the ancient Athenian state.
Critias 109b - 112e: Here, Critias begins describing the origins of Atlantis, its geography, and the divine nature of its inhabitants.
Critias 113a - 121c: This portion of the dialogue elaborates on the details of Atlantis, including its government, society, military power, and its impressive wealth and resources.
Critias also discusses the layout of Atlantis, describing its concentric rings of water and land, and the grand temple of Poseidon at its center.
109b-109cCritias mentions that Solon, after visiting Egypt, heard from priests about an ancient conflict between Athens and Atlantis.
Athens was under the protection of Athena, while Atlantis was under the domain of Poseidon.
Meanwhile, Atlantis was under the rule of Poseidon.
The men of Atlantis, who were now ruled by Poseidon, were among these people.
111a-111bPoseidon then divided the territory of Atlantis among his sons.
111c-111dThe land of Atlantis was fertile and produced an abundance of resources.
112d-112eThe society of Atlantis was highly organized, with a strict division of labor and a hierarchy of classes.
Poseidon divided the island of Atlantis into ten parts, giving each of his sons a portion to rule.
113c-113dThe capital city of Atlantis was an impressive metropolis with a unique layout.
The kings of Atlantis would meet regularly in the temple of Poseidon to discuss matters of state and to renew their oaths of loyalty to each other.
See Bull Atlantis connection
For many generations, the kings of Atlantis maintained harmony among themselves and with their subjects.
Zeus, the king of the gods, called a council of the gods to discuss the fate of Atlantis.
The dialogue ends abruptly here, leaving the details of the gods' decision and the ultimate destruction of Atlantis untold.
118a-121cThis section primarily details the riches, infrastructure, and military power of Atlantis.
This moral decline angered the gods, who decided to punish Atlantis for its hubris.
The dialogue cuts off at this point, leaving the fate of Atlantis to be inferred from other sources.
This translation covers the main points of the passage, including the description of Atlantis's society, its infrastructure, and its eventual decline due to moral corruption.
Destruction of Babylon
The association of "Babylon" with "Atlantis" is not explicitly stated in the text of Revelation, but there is a symbolic parallel in how both are portrayed as powerful civilizations that meet a sudden and catastrophic end due to their moral corruption and opposition to divine will.
Atlantis, as described by Plato in the dialogues Timaeus and Critias, is an advanced and powerful civilization that becomes corrupt and is ultimately destroyed by divine forces through a catastrophic event—often interpreted as a great flood or earthquake.
The story of Atlantis serves as a moral and philosophical allegory about the dangers of hubris, corruption, and the consequences of deviating from divine or natural law.
While Revelation does not directly equate Babylon with Atlantis, the two share significant symbolic elements:
Atlantis similarly falls into corruption and decadence, abandoning its original virtues and falling out of favor with the gods.
Atlantis is also destroyed by divine forces, as a punishment for its pride and moral decay.
Both Babylon in Revelation and Atlantis in Plato's account are destroyed suddenly and completely, leaving a lasting impression of the consequences of corruption.
Some interpreters may draw a parallel between Atlantis and Babylon as both symbolize the fall of great civilizations due to moral decay and divine retribution.
Allegorical Reading: In a broader allegorical sense, one could interpret "Babylon the Great" in Revelation as representing any civilization or system that, like Atlantis, rises to power but eventually falls due to its opposition to divine principles and moral order.
While Revelation 17 and 18 do not explicitly identify Babylon as Atlantis, the symbolic parallels between the two can be drawn, especially in terms of their representation of corrupt and powerful civilizations that face divine judgment and destruction.
Jerusalem
According to Plato, the Atlantis story had its origins in the Egyptian city of Sais, in the Nile Delta.
Was Plato’s statement a hint at Jerusalem where the Temple Mount represented the central hill in Kritias 113 on Atlantis?
The Last Days of Atlantis
Plato’s Atlantis (from Timaeus and Critias):Plato's account of Atlantis describes the divine judgment that falls upon the island due to the moral corruption and hubris of its inhabitants.
Initially, Atlantis is portrayed as a powerful and advanced civilization, but as the people grow prideful and morally degenerate, they lose favor with the gods.
The gods decide to punish Atlantis by sending catastrophic floods and earthquakes, ultimately causing the island to sink into the ocean, erasing it from existence.
In Isaiah, God judges the people for their insincere worship and moral failings, while in Plato's narrative, the gods judge Atlantis for its hubris and corruption.
In Isaiah, the judgment comes upon those who engage in abominable practices, while in Atlantis, the destruction is a consequence of the people’s pride and moral failure.
Plato’s Atlantis:In Plato’s account, the gods are also portrayed as having ultimate control over the world, including the fate of entire civilizations.
The destruction of Atlantis demonstrates the gods' ability to bring about the rise and fall of empires according to their will.
The gods' actions in wiping out Atlantis are a reminder of the limits of human power in the face of divine authority.
In Isaiah, the question "Where is the house that you will build for Me?" underscores the futility of trying to contain the divine, while in Atlantis, the civilization's downfall serves as a stark reminder that human achievements are insignificant when opposed to divine will.
Plato’s Atlantis:The people of Atlantis, once virtuous and just, become morally corrupt over time.
The destruction of Atlantis is portrayed as a direct consequence of their moral failings.
In Isaiah, the people’s insincere worship and disobedience lead to divine retribution, while in Atlantis, the civilization’s moral decline leads to its ultimate destruction.
Plato’s Atlantis:Plato’s narrative does not offer a direct counterpart to the restoration of the righteous.
However, the destruction of Atlantis can be seen as a purging act, restoring balance to the world by removing a corrupt civilization.
The survivors of Atlantis (if any) are not mentioned, and there is no indication of restoration.
While Atlantis is utterly destroyed, Isaiah holds out hope for the faithful, emphasizing the dual aspect of divine justice: punishment for the wicked and reward for the righteous.
Absence of Restoration in Atlantis: The complete destruction of Atlantis without mention of restoration underscores the finality of divine judgment in Plato’s narrative, in contrast to Isaiah’s message of hope for those who remain faithful.
Plato’s Atlantis:The destruction of Atlantis serves as a testament to the gods' ultimate victory over human pride.
By erasing Atlantis from the world, the gods reassert their control and maintain the cosmic order, ensuring that no human civilization can rival divine power.
The destruction of the wicked in Isaiah and the obliteration of Atlantis both underscore the consequences of defying divine authority.
Isaiah 66:1-24 and Plato’s description of the downfall of Atlantis share common themes of divine judgment, the consequences of moral decay, and the ultimate authority of the divine.
The Bible and Atlantis
Certain themes and descriptions in the biblical verses, particularly those concerning the downfall of powerful cities or nations, can be symbolically linked to Plato’s account of Atlantis.
Below are some parallels between specific biblical verses and Plato's descriptions of Atlantis:
Connection to Atlantis: This passage speaks of a city being overwhelmed by "great waters" and becoming a place of desolation, never to be inhabited again.
This mirrors Plato's description of Atlantis, which was swallowed by the sea in a single day and night of misfortune, leaving it lost and unreachable beneath the ocean.
Connection to Atlantis: Plato describes Atlantis as a powerful maritime empire.
The image of a great seafaring nation being broken apart by forces of nature, its riches and people sinking into the sea, is reminiscent of the destruction of Atlantis.
Connection to Atlantis: This verse speaks of a sudden, unforeseen catastrophe that cannot be avoided or mitigated, which parallels the fate of Atlantis.
Atlantis, according to Plato, was destroyed in a single day and night by catastrophic events, a fate that even its great wealth and power could not prevent.
Connection to Atlantis: The imagery of the sea overwhelming a powerful city, leading to its complete desolation, is closely related to the myth of Atlantis, which was submerged by the ocean and left as a barren, unreachable place.
Connection to Atlantis: The fall from great heights due to pride and hubris is a common theme both in this passage and in the story of Atlantis.
Atlantis was said to have fallen because its people became greedy, corrupt, and overreached in their power, leading to their ultimate destruction.
Connection to Atlantis: This verse describes divine intervention over the sea, causing the downfall of kingdoms associated with maritime power, similar to how Atlantis was destroyed as a result of divine punishment for its hubris and corruption.
Connection to Atlantis: This passage speaks of Nineveh, a great and powerful city, being utterly destroyed and left desolate.
And there is none besides me.") mirrors the hubris of Atlantis, which according to Plato, led to its downfall.
The desolation and transformation into a place inhabited by wild creatures reflect the fate of Atlantis, which was said to have vanished under the sea, leaving no trace of its former glory.
Connection to Atlantis: The imagery of a powerful city being swept away and turned into a desolate place, such as a swampland, parallels the story of Atlantis being submerged and lost beneath the sea.
The "broom of destruction" symbolizes a thorough and irreversible judgment, similar to the fate that befell Atlantis due to its corruption.
Connection to Atlantis: The imagery of the earth melting, rising, and then sinking, along with the waters of the sea being poured out over the land, can be symbolically linked to the destruction of Atlantis.
Plato described Atlantis as being swallowed by the sea, a sudden cataclysm that wiped out an entire civilization.
Connection to Atlantis: The image of Death swallowing the nobles and masses, leading to the humbling of the arrogant, parallels the fall of Atlantis, a society that Plato described as having become arrogant and corrupt, leading to its destruction.
Connection to Atlantis: The imagery of a great city being thrown into the sea, never to be found again, is strikingly similar to the fate of Atlantis.
Atlantis was described by Plato as being swallowed by the sea and disappearing without a trace, much like the fate of Babylon in this apocalyptic vision.
The parallels between these biblical passages and Plato's account of Atlantis are primarily thematic, revolving around the sudden downfall of powerful cities or civilizations, often due to divine judgment, natural catastrophe, or moral failure.
The recurring imagery of the sea as an agent of destruction, the fear and awe of surrounding nations, and the irreversible nature of these events are motifs that resonate with the legend of Atlantis.
While the Bible does not explicitly reference Atlantis, these themes are shared across many ancient texts and myths, reflecting a universal concern with the fragility of human power and the consequences of hubris.
The Deluge of the Chaldeans
When we consider these two forms of the same legend, we see many points wherein the story points directly to Atlantis.
His name is connected, in the mythological legends, with "a great Saturnian continent" in the Atlantic Ocean, and a great kingdom which, in the remote ages, embraced Northern Africa and the European coast of the Mediterranean as far as the peninsula of Italy, and "certain islands in the sea;" agreeing, in this respect, with the story of Plato as to the dominions of Atlantis.
Here, then, we have convincing testimony that the country referred to in the Chaldean legends was the land of Chronos, or Saturn--the ocean world, the dominion of Atlantis.
In those respects wherein the Chaldean legend, evidently the older form of the tradition, differs from the Biblical record, we see that in each instance we approach nearer to Atlantis.
This would show that Khasisatra dwelt in a far country, one only attainable by crossing the water; and this, too, seems like a reminiscence of the real site of Atlantis.
Islands mentioned in the Bible
The biblical references to islands and coastlands that could be connected to Greek mythology and the legends of Atlantis are primarily those that mention distant and possibly mythical lands.
The mention of distant, unknown islands aligns with the idea of legendary places like Atlantis, which was said to be a powerful and advanced civilization that existed far beyond the known world.
While not directly connected to Atlantis, Rhodes was considered one of the prominent islands of the ancient Greek world and could symbolize the far-reaching influence of ancient maritime powers, similar to the legendary Atlantis.
The description of Tyre as a "gateway to the sea" and its trade with "many coasts" can evoke the idea of powerful, seafaring civilizations like those described in the Atlantis legend.
The mysterious nature of Tarshish and its association with distant islands might parallel the mythical Atlantis, which was also described as a distant, prosperous island civilization.
The legends of Atlantis, as described by Plato in his dialogues "Timaeus" and "Critias," describe a powerful island nation that existed beyond the "Pillars of Hercules" (modern Strait of Gibraltar) and was eventually destroyed by a cataclysmic event.
While the Bible does not directly mention Atlantis, the idea of distant, powerful islands mentioned in biblical texts could be seen as resonating with the myth of Atlantis, particularly in the context of ancient civilizations known for their maritime prowess and wealth.
