The Kings of Atlantis become the Gods of the Greeks

In the "Iliad" Poseidon appears "as ruler of the sea, inhabiting a brilliant palace in its depths, traversing its surface in a chariot, or stirring the powerful billows until the earth shakes as they crash upon the shores.

Ignatius Donnelly

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

The Egyptian priest of Sais told Solon that the myth of Phaëthon, the son of Helios, having attempted to drive the chariot of the sun, and thereby burning up the earth, referred to "a declination of the bodies moving round the earth and in the heavens" (comets), which caused a "great conflagration upon the earth," from which those only escaped who lived near rivers and seas.

Civilization an Inheritance

The Scots, according to Tacitus, used chariots and iron swords in the battle of the Grampians--"enormes gladii sine mucrone." The Celts of Gaul are stated by Diodorus Siculus to have used iron-headed spears and coats-of-mail, and the Gauls who encountered the Roman arms in B.C.

Plato

Timaeus & Critias

And they placed therein golden statues, one being that of the God [Poseidon] standing on a chariot and driving six winged steeds, his own figure so tall as to touch the ridge of the roof, and round about him a hundred Nereides on dolphins (for that was the number of them as men then believed); and it contained also many other images, the votive offerings of private men.

So it was ordained that each such leader should provide for war the sixth part of a war-chariots equipment, so as to make up 10,000 chariots in all, together with two horses and mounted men; also a pair of horses without a car, and attached thereto a combatant with a small shield and for charioteer the rider who springs from horse to horse; and two hoplites; and archers and slingers, two of each; and light-armed slingers and javelin-men, three of each; and four sailors towards the manning of twelve hundred ships.

Mauro Biglino

Flying Chariots

Mauro Biglino discusses parallels between the Bible and Homeric poems, particularly focusing on the subject of flying chariots.

In his speech, Biglino begins by discussing the Homeric gods' flying chariots as described in the Iliad.

He refers to a scene where Athena and Hera use a chariot in battle.

The chariot, described with a sound "high up" and pulled by horses, leads Biglino to draw comparisons with technological machines.

Biglino transitions to biblical references, notably from the Book of Ezekiel, where he draws parallels between Homeric flying chariots and the "chariots" described in the Bible.

Biglino cites passages from Ezekiel where flying chariots are detailed.

Biglino concludes by highlighting similar descriptions of flying chariots in other ancient religious texts, including those from the East.

Revelation 18

Thus shall Babylon sink

and cinnamon and spice and incense and perfume and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and cargoes of horses and chariots and slaves and human lives.

Isaiah 66

The Last Days of Atlantis

15 See, YHWH is coming with fire,and his chariots are like a whirlwind;he will bring down his anger with fury,and his rebuke with flames of fire.

15 "For behold, YHWH will come with fire, and His chariots like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire."

20 And they will bring all your people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to YHWH—on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels,” says YHWH.

20 "And they shall bring all your brothers out of all nations as an offering to YHWH, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to My holy mountain Jerusalem, says YHWH, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of YHWH."

Chariots Driven by Divine Beings

In Homer’s works, specifically in the Iliad, there are mentions of celestial chariots driven by horses that produce noise as they fly above.

These chariots are described as covering vast distances in an instant, a concept that parallels descriptions found in the Bible.

The chariots are often accompanied by clouds, reinforcing their supernatural nature.

Elijah and others are aware of his impending ascent in a chariot of fire, pulled by horses of fire, a description that parallels the divine chariots in Homer’s works.

Alalu skillfully put the chariot's wings around the earth's bowl to make a circle.

With his heart raising, Alalu decided to think about will he crash and die if he let his chariot fall on the dry land, should he go straight into the water where he might sink into oblivion.

Alalu was not moving in the eagle seat and he gave the chariot the faith.

The chariot moved faster because it moved faster in the earth's net, its spread wings lit up, and the air around the earth was like an oven.

Then the chariot started to shake, making a terrible thunder sound.

The chariot crashed suddenly and all of a sudden it stopped.

Phaethon, eager to prove his divine lineage, asked his father to let him drive the sun chariot across the sky for a day.
