Tekthah – The sacred symbol of Atlantis

In "Atlantis: The Book of the Angels," the four-armed Cross is a sacred symbol that holds significant religious and cultural importance for the Atlanteans.

The four-armed Cross, also known as Tekthah's standard, symbolizes the national prowess and the victorious empire of Atlantis.

This symbol is carried by the Emperor Tekthah and is present in all the major cities of Atlantis, especially in their Temples of the Sun.

The people of Atlantis, in their desperation for divine protection, even go so far as to offer the sacred symbol in blasphemous sacrifices, indicating their departure from pure worship and their turn towards idolatry .

The four-armed Cross's transformation from a symbol of national pride to an object of idolatrous sacrifice illustrates the broader theme of moral and spiritual decline in Atlantis.

Bridgman-Metchim

The book of the Angels

Noah's condemnation of the idolatrous practices and his prophetic warnings about the destruction of Atlantis highlight the tension between the worship of Jehovah and the idolatry of the Fish-god.

Azta's journey in "Atlantis: The Book of the Angels" involving her rise to power, her relationships, and her ultimate downfall.

Ambition and Power: Azta is deeply ambitious and seeks to gain power in Atlantis.

She struggles with the moral implications of her actions and the eventual rebellion and unrest in Atlantis.

The siege of the city and the ultimate destruction of Atlantis mark her downfall, as she realizes the consequences of her ambition and the role she played in the corruption of her society​​.

Final Moments: In her final moments, Azta faces the collapse of her ambitions and the ruin of Atlantis.

Role: Manipulative and influential figure in Atlantis, seeks power and control, has complex relationships with other key figures like Huitza and Mah.

Role: Prophetic figure who foresees the destruction of Atlantis, builds the ark (Mexiah) to save his family and selected animals, maintains a holy lifestyle amidst corruption .

Role: Powerful and significant figure in Atlantis, involved in political and military actions, eventually betrayed and killed in the power struggles .

Role: Engages in conspiracies and political machinations, key player in the downfall of other leaders and the eventual destruction of Atlantis .

Role: Engages in various political and military actions, sells slaves, and contributes to the corruption and violence of Atlantis .

Azta: Noah communicated with Azta, a significant character in the story, particularly during pivotal moments such as the gatherings and discussions about the future and the impending doom of Atlantis​​.

Noah's role as a leader and a prophet placed him in a position where he had to engage with a diverse group of individuals, both within his family and among the broader community of Atlantis.

Symbolism and Impact: The armada symbolizes the military might and technological advancement of Atlantis.

War for Control of Atlantis (Toltiah vs.

Motives: Toltiah seeks to establish his rule over Atlantis and claim the throne, while Shar-Jatal aims to retain his power and control over the land.

Who is Fighting: The forces of Atlantis, led by Toltiah, against rebellious factions within the city of Zul and surrounding areas.

Motives: These naval battles are part of Atlantis's efforts to maintain control over key waterways and protect their maritime interests.

Who is Fighting: Noah, preaching a holy war, leads his followers against the corrupt and morally depraved elements within Atlantis.

The floods submerge large territories, including entire provinces like Tek-Ra, creating a watery desolation across Atlantis​​.

Famine and Disease: As a result of these natural disasters, Atlantis faces severe famine and outbreaks of disease.

Divine Judgment and Prophecy: Noah and other prophetic figures in the book foresee the destruction of Atlantis as a divine punishment for the people's persistent sins and idolatry.

The narrative frequently mentions that the sins of Atlantis provoke heaven, leading to a cosmic crisis and the eventual judgment day where the fate of Atlantis is sealed​​.

Idolatry and Sacrifice: The people of Atlantis engage in extreme idolatry, worshipping various deities and making horrific sacrifices, including human sacrifices.

Environmental Catastrophes: The culmination of these disturbances is seen in the environmental catastrophes that plague Atlantis.

Noah's condemnation of the idolatrous practices and his prophetic warnings about the destruction of Atlantis highlights the tension between the worship of Jehovah and the idolatry of the Fish-god.

Noah sees the worship of such idols as a primary reason for the divine retribution that will befall Atlantis.

The people of Atlantis worshipped various idols and natural objects, including the Sun, gems, the dragon (emblem of the sun), the moon and stars, oxen, cats, frogs, and other animals.

The religion of Atlantis became increasingly licentious and imaginative, leading to the creation of a highly sensual and debased mythology.

Initially, the inhabitants of Atlantis possessed a pure faith and knowledge of God.

Ignatius Donnelly

The origin of our alphabet

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.

Ignatius Donnelly

Three Ages of European Development

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.

Ignatius Donnelly

The Aryan Colonies from Atlantis

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.

Ignatius Donnelly

Atlantis reconstructed

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.

Ignatius Donnelly

The antiquity of some of our great inventions

The invention of gunpowder might trace back to Atlantis.

This suggests that modern democratic governance may trace its roots back to Atlantis.

Ignatius Donnelly

The oldest son of Noah

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.

Ignatius Donnelly

The Colonies of Atlantis

The proximity of the western shores of Atlantis to the West India Islands made it feasible for a seafaring people to venture from island to island until they reached the mainland.

Descent from the Twelve Great Gods: The Egyptians claimed descent from "the twelve great gods," a reference likely to the twelve gods of Atlantis, including Poseidon, Cleito, and their ten sons.

Phoenician Traditions: According to Phoenician traditions, Egyptian civilization derived from the Phoenicians, who themselves owed their origin to Atlantis.

Biblical Lineage: The Bible describes the Egyptians as descendants of Ham, one of Noah's sons who survived the Deluge, interpreted as the destruction of Atlantis.

This narrative supports the idea of a common origin in Atlantis.

Civilizational Similarities: There is a significant resemblance between the civilizations of Egypt and those of ancient American nations, indicating a shared cultural and technological foundation likely derived from Atlantis.

Atlantean Knowledge: The Egyptians had detailed knowledge about Atlantis, despite not being a maritime people.

Underworld Beliefs: The Egyptian concept of the "under-world" situated in the West, across the water, aligns with the idea of Atlantis as the drowned world.

Instead, it appears to have been transported from elsewhere, likely Atlantis.

Technological and Scientific Knowledge: The advanced mathematical, astronomical, and medical knowledge of the Egyptians indicates a high level of civilization that likely developed over millennia in Atlantis before being transferred to Egypt.

Cultural Practices: Shared cultural practices, such as the use of hieroglyphs, similar religious rituals, and complex societal structures, suggest a common heritage with Atlantis.

Geographical and Mythological Connections: The descriptions of the Elysian Fields and the underworld in Egyptian mythology closely resemble the accounts of Atlantis, reinforcing the idea of a shared origin.

The hypothesis posits that a civilized maritime people from Atlantis planted colonies along the headlands and shores of the Gulf of Mexico, eventually spreading to the table-lands of Mexico and the plains and mountains of New Mexico and Colorado.

Their use of earth mounds, geometric constructions, and metalworking points to advanced knowledge likely derived from Atlantis.

The origins and spread of the Iberians suggest a connection to Atlantis and early human migrations.

Here's an exploration of their history, culture, and connections to Atlantis:

According to Professor Alexander Winchell, the Iberians from Atlantis and north-western Africa settled in south-western Europe earlier than the Egyptians settled in north-eastern Africa.

The Bretons differ significantly from their surrounding Celtic neighbors, suggesting a different ancestral lineage possibly tied to ancient navigators and settlers from Atlantis.

The Iberians, a significant ancient race, may have origins tied to the lost civilization of Atlantis.

The connections between the Iberians and other cultures around the Mediterranean and beyond highlight the far-reaching influence of Atlantis and its role in shaping early human civilization.

Examining the map of Atlantis as revealed by deep-sea soundings, one finds that it once approached closely to the shore of South America, near the mouth of the Amazon.

This connection suggests that Atlantis may have influenced or even established colonies in South America.

Barbary States: This region, also known as ancient Atlantis or the Atlas region, includes Morocco, Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, and Benzazi.

These narratives propose a connection between Ireland and Atlantis, emphasizing early settlements that date back to ancient times.

Their name, F'omoraig Afraic, implies an origin from the West (Atlantis), as Africa at that time referred to the western lands.

The Milesians' history, involving Egypt, Crete, Scythia, and Africa, reinforces their connection to Atlantis.

Sun-Worship: The initial religion was sun-worship, aligning with other ancient cultures derived from Atlantis.

Druidism in Ireland and its spread to England and France highlight several practices linked to Atlantis:

The round-towers, similar to structures in America, Sardinia, and India, suggest a widespread architectural influence originating from Atlantis.

Irish legends and traditions of a land in the Far West, preserved among the descendants of the Tuatha-de-Dananns, suggest an ancient memory of Atlantis.

Ignatius Donnelly

Gold and silver: the sacred metals of 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.

Ignatius Donnelly

The Pyramid, the cross and the Garden of Eden

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.

Ignatius Donnelly

The God Odin, Woden, or Wotan

It is plausible that the Scandinavian Olympus was Atlantis.

The mythology of the Gothic nations, like the flood legends, connects them to Atlantis.

Their gods Krodo and Satar were akin to Chronos and Saturn of Atlantis.

This interconnected mythology and language hint at a common origin, possibly Atlantis, suggesting a shared heritage of these ancient civilizations.

Ignatius Donnelly

The Gods of the Phoenicians also kings of Atlantis

Not only were the gods of the Greeks the deified kings of Atlantis, but we also find that the mythology of the Phoenicians was drawn from the same source.

According to Sanchoniathon, Ouranos was the son of Autochthon, and, according to Plato, Autochthon was one of the ten kings of Atlantis.

The Phoenician legends also mention Poseidon, founder and king of Atlantis.

This ancient rite, practiced by the Atlantidae of both the Old and New Worlds, dates back to Atlantis.

This not only connects the Phoenicians with Atlantis but also shows the relationship between Egyptian civilization and both Atlantis and the Phoenicians.

This Atlantean sailor reopened the path of commerce and colonization, closed since Atlantis sank.

The Phoenician gods and their myths show a deep connection to the kings and legends of Atlantis.

Ignatius Donnelly

The kings of Atlantis become the Gods of the Greeks

Lord Bacon once said, "The mythology of the Greeks, which their oldest writers do not pretend to have invented, was no more than a light air, which had passed from a more ancient people into the flutes of the Greeks, which they modulated to such descants as best suited their fancies." This insightful observation hints at the profound influence of an older civilization on Greek mythology—a civilization that may well be Atlantis.

This form of worship likely represents the religion of Atlantis.

The Greeks converted the kings of Atlantis into their gods and depicted Atlantis as the heaven of the human race.

The mythology of Greece contains references to gods who acted and behaved like humans, pointing to the historical kings of Atlantis.

Olympus, the home of the Greek gods, is reminiscent of Atlantis:

Location: Situated "in the far west" and "beyond the ocean," similar to Plato's description of Atlantis.

Inhabitants: The gods of Olympus, like those of Atlantis, were twelve in number, including Zeus, Poseidon, and others.

Poseidon: In both Greek mythology and Plato's account, Poseidon was a significant figure associated with the sea and Atlantis.

Atlas: Represented as holding up the heavens in the far west, directly linking him to Atlantis.

The myths of Greece also speak of the decline and destruction of a great civilization, mirroring the fate of Atlantis:

Golden Age: The period of peace and prosperity in Atlantis is reflected in the Greek mythology's Golden Age.

Flood: The deluge that destroyed Atlantis is paralleled by the Greek story of Deucalion's flood.

Ignatius Donnelly

Ad-, Atl-, At-, Atlantis

In exploring the mythologies of ancient civilizations, we find recurrent references to a mysterious and ancient civilization, often interpreted as Atlantis.

These Adites, likely referring to the people of Atlantis, are depicted as a powerful and advanced race.

Shedd-Ad-Ben-Ad: A great antediluvian king associated with Atlantis.

Irem: Shedad built a magnificent palace and garden called Irem, reminiscent of the celestial Paradise, hinting at an attempt to replicate the grandeur of Atlantis.

This story parallels the destruction of Atlantis:

The Persians also possess traditions that echo the Atlantis narrative.

Further connections to Atlantis are seen in the Greek and Hindu mythologies:

Chaldean legends, as deciphered from Babylonian tablets, mention an original race of men called Ad-mi or Ad-ami, who were distinct from a "light race." This race's fall and subsequent deluge echo the destruction of Atlantis:

Ad-mi (Ad-ami): Referred to as a fallen race, providing another instance where the prefix "Ad" suggests a link to Atlantis.

Atl-tona-ti-uh: The Mexican calendar stone refers to the sun as Atl-tona-ti-uh, linking it to the deluge and again to Atlantis.

Ignatius Donnelly

Genesis Contains a History of Atlantis

It has been shown that the story of the Deluge plainly refers to the destruction of Atlantis and that it agrees in many important particulars with the account given by Plato.

Ignatius Donnelly

American Evidences of Intercourse with Europe or 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.

Ignatius Donnelly

The Identity of the Civilizations of the Old World and the New

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.

Ignatius Donnelly

Conclusions of the Great Flood story

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.

Ignatius Donnelly

Civilization – A shared Origin

Many essential arts and inventions date back to Atlantis or the ancient Egyptian civilization, which was an offshoot of Atlantis.

Instead, it is suggested that all civilized nations have inherited these from an ancient, advanced civilization—Atlantis.

Every advanced civilization can trace its roots back to a common source—Atlantis.

Legacy of Atlantis: Many essential arts and technologies date back to Atlantis and early Egyptian civilization.

Inherited Civilization: Advanced civilizations trace their roots to a common source—Atlantis.

Ignatius Donnelly

The Deluge Legends of America

Alfred Maury noted that American flood legends closely resemble those of the Bible and Chaldean records, suggesting a common origin from Atlantis rather than migration from Asia.

Atlantis had longstanding interactions with the Americas, with its colonies spread across the continent.

Migration from Aztlan: The Toltecs migrated from Aztlan (Atlantis), a beautiful land, after a great flood.

Quiche Legends: Mention migration from the East, across the sea, after a great flood, indicating a connection to Atlantis.

Cultural Echoes: Names and themes in these legends echo those from other flood myths, suggesting a shared origin or influence from Atlantis.

These flood legends from the Americas show remarkable similarities to those from the Old World, indicating a possible common origin from the lost civilization of Atlantis.

Atlantis, believed to have been destroyed by a volcanic convulsion, likely had volcanoes, as indicated by the volcanic activity along the mid-Atlantic ridge, stretching from Iceland to St.

This volcanic activity, combined with earthquakes, would have contributed to the destruction of Atlantis.

Plato described the mountains of Atlantis as lofty and precipitous, a description that aligns with the Azores' current elevation.

Plato mentioned that navigation ceased in the area of Atlantis due to the mud left behind after its sinking.

Ignatius Donnelly

The Deluge Legends (I)

Atlantis Connection: Many legends, including those of the Greeks, indicate an Atlantean origin for the flood myth, with references to Poseidon (Neptune) and the "three worlds" of Atlantis.

Egyptian Silence: Egyptian records do not mention a flood, suggesting they preserved an accurate history of Atlantis's destruction and did not create flood myths.

Cosmos's Maps: Medieval maps by the monk Cosmos depicted a world surrounded by water, with lands beyond the ocean where pre-flood people lived, hinting at an awareness of Atlantis.

These legends collectively point to an ancient, widespread memory of a great flood, potentially linked to the historical events surrounding the destruction of Atlantis.

Ignatius Donnelly

The Chaldean Deluge

Key points linking these legends to Atlantis include:

Chronos (Saturn): The god who warned of the flood is linked to a great civilization in the Atlantic, matching Atlantis’s description.

Cataclysmic Nature: The Chaldean flood involved multiple natural disasters, akin to Plato’s description of Atlantis’s destruction.

Man: Whence, How and Whither

The Fourth Root Race

Establishment of Atlantis:

Founding of Atlantis: The young Race takes possession of its continent, Atlantis.

200,000 B.C.: Second great catastrophe leads to the fragmentation of Atlantis into the islands of Kuta and Daitya.

75,025 B.C.: Final catastrophe submerges the remnants of Atlantis, ending the Toltec civilization's dominance.

After this many generations passed before the young Race took possession of its continent, Atlantis, but from this point onwards ship-loads of egos begin to come in from the Inter-Chain Nirvana, to inhabit the fourth Race bodies.

The founding was about one million years ago, one hundred and fifty thousand years before the first great catastrophe which rent the continent of Atlantis.

Blavatsky speaks of the founding of the fifth Eace as occurring one million years ago, though it was only led out from Atlantis 79,997 B.

C., some 250,000 years after the first great cataclysm which rent the continent of Atlantis.

The spread of black magic in Atlantis led up to the second great catastrophe of 200,000 B.

During the next hundred thousand years, the people of Atlantis flourished abundantly, and built up a mighty, but over-luxurious, civilisation.

The story may be told, as it throws light on the conditions which brought down later upon Atlantis the heavy doom pronounced by the Occult Hierarchy.

Annie Besant

Beginning of the 5th Root Race

They had brought seeds of various kinds from Atlantis, and some of these were suitable to their new home; they grew some tasteless fruits resembling apples, and, on the slopes of the hot part of the valley, they raised a very large fruit, as large as a man's head, which, in stickiness and general messiness, was like a date.

In Atlantis the reincarnated Metal-Man was again ruling, none the wiser, apparently, for his previous experiences.

Man: Whence, How and Whither

Turanian, in Ancient Chaldaea.

This idea of the use of coloured light to promote growth was common to several of the old Atlantean races, and was part of the teaching originally given in Atlantis itself.

Man: Whence, How and Whither

The Civilisation of Atlantis

Atlantis influenced many countries and built grand civilizations.

In this summary, we'll explore some of the remarkable aspects of Atlantis, with details provided by Mr.

Scott-Elliot in his work "The Story of Atlantis."

The immense wealth and luxury eventually undermined Atlantis, leading to its fall.

Despite their achievements, Atlantis fell due to the misuse of their advanced knowledge.

The legacy of Atlantis passed on to the Aryan race, which continues to build on its foundations and may surpass its glory in the future.

Autocratic System: Atlantis was governed under an autocratic system where the Divine Kings held absolute power.

ATLANTIS peopled many countries with its subraces, and built many splendid civilisations.

*A good account of this may be read in The Story of Atlantis by W.

Hence Atlantis fell, despite the glory of its achievements and the might of its Empires ; and the leading of the world passed into the hands of a daughter Eace, the Aryan, which, though it has to its credit many magnificent achievements in the past, has not yet reached the zenith of its glory and its power, and will, some centuries hence, rise even higher than Atlantis rose in its palmiest days.

Ignatius L. Donnelly

Babel Story of Cholula

Both legends were probably derived from Atlantis, and referred to some gigantic structure of great height built by that people; and when the story emigrated to the east and west, it was in the one case affixed to the tower of the Chaldeans, and in the other to the pyramid of Cholula, precisely as we find the ark of the Deluge resting upon separate mountain-chains all the way from Greece to Armenia.

Ignatius Donnelly

The Destruction of Atlantis

The destruction of Atlantis is reflected in various flood legends across multiple ancient civilizations.

It posits that the catastrophic sinking of Atlantis, which Plato described, left a profound impact on the collective memory of humanity.

Plato linked "the great deluge of all" with the destruction of Atlantis.

The Egyptian priest told Solon that before this great deluge, Athens had a noble race that resisted Atlantis's attempt at conquest.

The same cataclysm that sank Atlantis also affected many Greeks, indicating a shared memory of this massive disaster.

The text concludes that these interconnected flood legends across different cultures provide compelling evidence for the historical existence and catastrophic end of Atlantis.

I have shown that the story of the Deluge plainly refers to the destruction of Atlantis, and that it agrees in many important particulars with the account given by Plato.

Father Seán ÓLaoire

To Gaelic Tír fo Thuinn was an advanced civilization

Father Seán ÓLaoire explains that, according to Gaelic mythology, Atlantis, or Tír fo Thuinn (the Land Under the Waves), was an advanced civilization that sank under the Atlantic Ocean.

Survivors of Atlantis are believed to have spread across different regions, including Ireland.

Father Seán connects these mythological events to the spread of advanced knowledge and spirituality from Atlantis.

He suggests that survivors from Atlantis, who possessed advanced mental and possibly technological capabilities, sought to elevate the consciousness of the populations they encountered, who were often reduced to more primitive states due to the catastrophic events that led to the sinking of Atlantis.

Association with Atlantis: In some interpretations, Tír fo Thuinn is equated with the concept of Atlantis.
