"This king was the first to establish the city of Memphis, making use of the mud and earth that the river deposits in its floods.
Your Earth has had the opportunity to awaken and fully integrate many times, which is common for most planets.
"The Egyptians themselves say that their ancestors, in the time of the first king, lived on what the earth produced naturally" (Histories, Book 2, 2.93).
the ideas about the possibility for man to communicate with God directly, without intermediates, without rituals… France, Germany, the Netherlands… This process was completed with the liberating wave of Napoleon, which washed out almost completely the filth of the inquisition from the Earth.
The word Cairo in Atlantis meant Earth: Earth as a living planet!*
“Atlantis was My ‘earth’.
“I am one of many Atlanteans who continued to work on the Earth after the destruction of Atlantis.
“Thus I recreated in Greece all the best from the culture of Atlantis — hoping to preserve it in the memory of people on the Earth for many centuries."
In this mountain there dwelt one of the earth-born primeval men of that country, whose name was Evenor, and he had a wife named Leucippe, and they had an only daughter, who was named Cleito.
He brought streams of water under the earth to this mountain-island, and made all manner of food to grow upon it.
Within this circle of water the earth lay spread out like a disk, with mountains rising from it, and the vault of heaven appearing to rest upon its outer edge all around." (Murray's "Manual of Mythology," pp.
They were far famed in antiquity; for it was there that springs of nectar flowed by the couch of Zeus, and there that the earth displayed the rarest blessings of the gods; it was another Eden." (Ibid., p.
It is the Slávratta, 'the celestial earth,' of the Hindoo, the summit of his golden mountain Meru, the city of Brahma, in the centre of Jambadwípa, and from the four sides of which gush forth the four primeval rivers, reflecting in their passage the colorific glories of their source, and severally flowing northward, southward, eastward, and westward."
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 rock was called 'The Place of Heaven;' there the gods first abode on earth, living many years in great rest and content, as in a happy and delicious land, though the world still lay in obscurity and darkness.
"Also, whatever fragrant things there are in the earth, whether roots, or herbage, or woods, or distilling drops of flowers and fruits, grew and thrived in that land; and again the cultivated fruits of the earth, both the edible fruits and other species of food which we call by the name of legumes, and the fruits having a hard rind, affording drinks and meats and ointments .
In Ireland the dead were buried in vaults of stone, and the earth raised over them in pyramids flattened on the top.
There can be no doubt that the pyramid was a developed and perfected mound, and that the parent form of these curious structures is to be found in Silsbury Hill, and in the mounds of earth of Central America and the Mississippi Valley.
These four sons likely represented four races, the offspring of the earth.
Sir William Jones recounts the story of Mashab-Ad, who is considered the first monarch of Iran and the entire earth:
1:2) that in the beginning the earth was without form and void, and covered with water.
1:9), "And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so." The Quiche legend says, "The creative spirits cried out 'Earth!' and in an instant it was formed, and rose like a vapor-cloud; immediately the plains and the mountains arose, and the cypress and pine appeared."
The Aztec legend says, "The sun was much nearer the earth then than now, and his grateful warmth rendered clothing unnecessary."
The name Adam is derived from the red earth, signifying a ruddy complexion.
As the stone came from the earth, it was said to have been derived from the under world, from Xibalbay, literally the unseen or invisible place, the populous realm in Quiche myth, visited and conquered by their culture hero, Xbalanque.
iii., 21): he was the first that tilled the earth, having emerged from a more primitive condition in which he lived upon the fruits of the forest (chap.
Toltec Flood Story: Describes a flood covering the earth and a close chest (toptlipetlocali) in which survivors escape.
Iroquois, Chickasaws, Sioux: All have flood legends involving a single family or person surviving and repopulating the earth.
Survival and Rebirth: Many legends involve a single family or person surviving a global flood and repopulating the earth.
The Chaldean legend's "terrible water-spout" and the Aramæan tradition's "enormous volumes of water" issuing from the earth reflect similar events.
Ogyges and Deucalion: Ogyges escapes a flood that covers the earth.
Deucalion, advised by Prometheus, survives with his wife in a chest and repopulates the earth.
In this myth, Kalumba created the world and then sent a chameleon to test if the earth was dry.
This winter, known as the "evil winter," would last for an extended period and bring severe cold, snow, and ice, threatening all life on earth.
It was large enough to accommodate a diverse selection of living beings, ensuring that the best representatives of each species would survive and repopulate the earth once the winter ended.
The preserved life within the vara began to repopulate and rejuvenate the earth, restoring balance and vitality to the world.
Thus, under the sway of Yima, three hundred winters passed away, and the earth was replenished with flocks and herds, with men and dogs and birds and with red blazing fires, and there was room no more for flocks, herds, and men.
Then I warned the fair Yima, saying: 'O fair Yima, son of Vivanghat, the earth has become full of flocks and herds, of men and dogs and birds and of red blazing fires, and there is room no more for flocks, herds, and men.'
Then Yima stepped forward, in light, southwards, on the way of the sun, and (afterwards) he pressed the earth with the golden seal, and bored it with the poniard, speaking thus: 'O Spenta Armaiti, kindly open asunder and stretch thyself afar, to bear flocks and herds and men.'
And Yima made the earth grow larger by one-third than it was before, and there came flocks and herds and men, at their will and wish, as many as he wished.
Thus, under the sway of Yima, six hundred winters passed away, and the earth was replenished with flocks and herds, with men and dogs and birds and with red blazing fires, and there was room no more for flocks, herds, and men.
And I warned the fair Yima, saying: 'O fair Yima, son of Vivanghat, the earth has become full of flocks and herds, of men and dogs and birds and of red blazing fires, and there is room no more for flocks, herds, and men.'
Then Yima stepped forward, in light, southwards, on the way of the sun, and (afterwards) he pressed the earth with the golden seal, and bored it with the poniard, speaking thus: 'O Spenta Armaiti, kindly open asunder and stretch thyself afar, to bear flocks and herds and men.'
And Yima made the earth grow larger by two-thirds than it was before, and there came flocks and herds and men, at their will and wish, as many as he wished.
Thus, under the sway of Yima, nine hundred winters passed away, and the earth was replenished with flocks and herds, with men and dogs and birds and with red blazing fires, and there was room no more for flocks, herds, and men.
And I warned the fair Yima, saying: 'O fair Yima, son of Vivanghat, the earth has become full of flocks and herds, of men and dogs and birds and of red blazing fires, and there is room no more for flocks, herds, and men.'
Then Yima stepped forward, in light, southwards, on the way of the sun, and (afterwards) he pressed the earth with the golden seal, and bored it with the poniard, speaking thus: 'O Spenta Armaiti, kindly) open asunder and stretch thyself afar, to bear flocks and herds and men.'
And Yima made the earth grow larger by two-thirds than it was before, and there came flocks and herds and men, at their will and wish, as many as he wished.
'Thither thou shalt bring the seeds of men and women, of the greatest, best, and finest on this earth; thither thou shalt bring the seeds of every kind of cattle, of the greatest, best, and finest on this earth.
'Thither thou shalt bring the seeds of every kind of tree, of the highest of size and sweetest of odour on this earth; thither thou shalt bring the seeds of every kind of fruit, the best of savour and sweetest of odour.
Crush the earth with a stamp of thy heel, and then knead it with thy hands, as the potter does when kneading the potter's clay.'
[And Yima did as Ahura Mazda wished; he crushed the earth with a stamp of his heel, he kneaded it with his hands, as the potter does when kneading the potter's clay.
There he brought the seeds of men and women, of the greatest, best, and finest on this earth; there he brought the seeds of every kind of cattle, of the greatest, best, and finest on this earth.
There he brought the seeds of every kind of tree, of the highest of size and sweetest of odour on this earth; there he brought the seeds of every kind of fruit, the best of savour and sweetest of odour.
Yima, according to Yt9.10, made immortality reign on the earth for a thousand years.
After organizing Mother Earth, the Holy People allowed their children to use this language.
However, the children began to misuse it, moving parts of Mother Earth, causing damage and creating mountains for fun.
The story begins with the Holy People using a sacred language to organize everything in the heavens and on Mother Earth.
After organizing Mother Earth, the Holy People allowed their children to use this language.
However, the children began to misuse it, moving parts of Mother Earth, causing damage and creating mountains for fun.
First Ship-load of Egos: The first group of egos arrives on Earth from the Moon Chain.
Egos Continue to Arrive: Ship-loads of egos continue to arrive on Earth, contributing to the ongoing evolution.
All who were taken on into the fourth Root Race were the Initiates and their disciples in these bodies, and none at this stage were taken from those who had previously been evolving on the Earth Chain.
At this time arrived on Earth a ship-load of egos, in a group of whom — which kept much together — we are specially interested, as it contained many old friends, Sirius, Orion, Leo and others; some of these were ear-marked on their arrival by Vaivasvata Manu — the Manu of the fifth Eace — as part of His future materials.
In the lower spheres there was apparently a dull, groping, sense of 'want,' as though they were very dimly sensing the absence of the old friends of former lives and of the Inter-Chain interval, who were still sleeping away in the Inter-chain Nirvana, not to arrive on Earth for another 400,000 years.
In the intuitional sphere, these 700-year people were in touch with the 1,200-year group, but it was only when the former arrived on the Earth that there was a time of general rejoicing among the egos in the higher mental sphere, due chiefly to the arrival of those who were the most deeply loved and revered — the future Masters.
Those immediately connected with some of the earlier group were still in that Nirvana, although others had come to earth with the 1,200-year set, among them the two future Masters who now wear English bodies.
The first ship-load containing the 700-year group arrived on Earth about 600,000 B.
Blavatsky speaks of some who came to the Earth from Mercury.
Herakles' third birth on earth was in the same tribe, in which many members of the group were re-united.
Later on these folk plotted to assassinate him, and he had them executed; thus began again, this time on earth, a long series of antagonisms not yet exhausted.
Blavatsky spoke as still admissible to human bodies, would belong to the animal kingdom of the Moon, not to that of the Earth; they took up bodies produced by the "sin of the mindless," and are the gorillas, chimpanzees, orang-utangs, baboons, and gibbons.
A great rebellion was being plotted, and a man of strange and evil knowledge, — a 'Lord of the Dark Face/ leagued with the dark Earth-Spirits who form the Kingdom of Pan, the semi-human, semi-animal creatures who are the originals of the Greek satyrs — was gradually gathering round himself a huge army which followed him as Emperor, the Emperor of the Midnight Sun, the Dark Emperor, set over against the White.
Against the White Cave of Initiation in the City of the Golden Gates was set up the Dark Cave in which the mysteries of Pan, the Earth-God, were celebrated.
Example: In the Earth's chain, Globe A would be a realm of pure spirit, where the initial spark of life is kindled.
Example: In the Earth's chain, Globe C is associated with Mars.
Example: Earth itself is Globe D in the current chain.
Example: Associated with Mercury in the Earth's chain, this globe might be a realm of advanced intellectual societies focusing on scientific and metaphysical exploration.
Earth Chain: In the current Earth chain (the fourth in the series), the third globe (C) is associated with Mars, and the fifth globe (E) with Mercury.
The Earth itself represents Globe D, the densest and most physical point in this chain.
Lunar and Terrene Chains: The previous Chain in the Earth Scheme was the lunar Chain (now our Moon), followed by the current terrene Chain (Earth).
In fact, such visitors came to our earth at one stage of its evolution, to guide and help our newly-born humanity.
The seven Schemes of our Solar System may, for convenience sake, be named after the globe D of each, this being the globe best known to us; these are : Vulcan, Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune (see Diagram I).
In the Scheme to which our Earth belongs, the Chain which preceded our terrene Chain was the third of its series, and its one physical globe, globe D, was the globe which is now our Moon; lifence the third Chain is called the lunar, while the second and first Chains are designated only by numbers; our Earth Chain, or terrene Chain, is the fourth in succession, and has therefore three of its seven globes in physical manifestation, its third globe, C, being what is called the planet Mars, and its fifth globe, E, what is called the planet Mercury.
So again later Chains were helped, and our Earth will have to provide high Officials for the earlier Chains of other Schemes, as well as yielding the normal supply for the later globes and Rounds of our own Chain.
Already from our own Occult Hierarchy two Members, within our own knowledge, have left our Earth, either to join the General Staff, or lent by the Head of our Hierarchy to the Head of the Hierarchy of some other globe outside our Scheme.
Major catastrophic events reshaped the Earth’s geography, causing seismic changes and flooding.
Even His own lieutenants were not apparently admitted to His confidence, but were simply following out His directions; among these were several who are now Masters, and others who have passed onwards, away from our Earth.
The Gobi Sea became circular, and land was thrown up, now Siberia, separating it from the Arctic Ocean; Central Asia rose, and many torrents, caused by the unprecedented rainfall, cut deep ravines through the soft earth.
Terrible rains fell almost incessantly; masses of steam and clouds of dust enveloped the earth and darkened the air.
A number of promising children were cut off, but, after all, it did not much matter, for they all went out of earth-life together, grandparents, parents and children, and were ready to come back when the'Manu founded His family.
Vulcan, the intra-Mercurial planet, was duly represented, and the place in the scheme where our earth should have come in was occupied by the temple of the Moon — a large one, though the hemisphere which crowned it seemed disproportionately small, being constructed exactly to the same scale as the rest.
Close by this Moontemple there arose an isolated dome of black marble supported by pillars, which from its size was evidently intended to typify the Earth, but there was no shrine of any kind attached to it.
Something is it also of encouragement to him to know a little of the glory and the beauty that have been on this grand old earth of ours, and to know that that is but a pale forecasting of the glory and the beauty that are yet to be.
Astronomy held a special place in their knowledge, with an understanding of planetary movements, eclipses, and the shape of the earth.
It is a little difficult to give an idea of the physical appearance of the race inhabiting the country, for no race at present existing on earth sufficiently resembles it to suggest a comparison, without misleading our readers in one direction or another.
Such representatives of the great third sub-race of the Atlantean Eoot Race as are still to be seen on earth are degraded and debased, as compared with the Eace in its glory.
Another point of similarity between this ancient system and our own is to be found in the exceeding care with which the land was surveyed, parcelled out, and above all analysed — the chief object of all this investigation being to discover the exact constitution of the earth in every part of the country, in order that the most appropriate crop might be planted in it, and the most made out of it generally.
First, they kept up the splendid temples of the Sun all over the land — kept them up on such a scale that many a small village shrine had golden ornaments and decorations that would now represent many thousands of pounds, while the great cathedrals of the larger cities blazed with a magnificence which hap never since been approached anywhere upon earth.
They knew that before this final consummation many other long periods of existence must intervene, but we cannot find that they realised with certainty that any part of that future life would be spent upon this earth again.
He pointed out that both these actions were absolutely continuous — that though sometimes the Sun was hidden from the sight of His child the earth, yet the cause of such temporary obscuration was to be found in the earth and not in the Sun, for one had only to climb far enough up the mountains in order to rise above the overshadowing clouds, and discover that their Lord was shining on in glory all the time, entirely unaffected by the veil which seemed so dense when seen from below.
They understood that the planets differed from the rest of the stars, and spoke of them as the sisters of the earth — for they recognised that the earth was one of them — or sometimes 'the elder children of the Sun.
' They knew that the earth was globular in shape, that day and night were due to its rotation on its axis, and the seasons to its annual revolution round the sun.
Other towns on the plains were protected by immense earth banks faced with metal plates, forming nearly impregnable barriers against contemporary weapons.
Their knowledge extended to manipulating natural forces for propulsion and construction, even achieving feats such as making heavy objects repel the earth's gravity.
On the summit of this hill lay the Emperor's palace and gardens, in the centre of which welled up from the earth a never-ending stream of water, supplying first the palace and the fountains in the gardens, thence flow-
Other large towns, built on the plains, were protected by immense banks of earth, sloping towards the town, and sometimes terraced, while, on the outward side, they were faced with thick plates of metal, clamped together; these were supported on great beams of wood, the uprights being driven deeply into the earth; when these were in place, and connected with heavy crossbars, the plates were attached to them, overlapping like scales, and then the space between the earth-work and the barrier was filled with earth, solidly rammed together.
Forces, the knowledge of which has been lost, were known to the science of the day; one of these was used for the propulsion of both air-and water-ships; another for so changing the relation of heavy bodies to the earth, that the earth repelled instead of attracting them, so making the raising of gigantic stones to a lofty height a matter of the greatest ease.
They were more often alchemically produced than sought for in the crust of the earth, and were often very artistically introduced to add richness to schemes of decoration, carried out in brilliant colours.
Croll identified cycles of varying eccentricity of the Earth's orbit, which he estimated to occur roughly every 100,000 years.
This cycle affects the shape of Earth's orbit, ranging from more circular to more elliptical.
He discussed the precession cycle, where the Earth's axis wobbles like a spinning top.
Precession affects the timing of the seasons relative to the Earth's position in its orbit.
Croll noted changes in the Earth's axial tilt, which occur over a cycle of about 41,000 years.
Professor James Croll's seminal work, "Climate and Time in Their Geological Relations: A Theory of Secular Changes of the Earth's Climate" (published in 1875), presents a groundbreaking theory on the long-term changes in the Earth's climate.
Croll proposed that variations in the Earth's orbit and axial tilt, known as Milankovitch cycles, significantly influence long-term climate patterns.
These cycles affect the distribution and intensity of solar radiation received by the Earth, leading to periods of glaciation and interglaciation.
Eccentricity of Earth's Orbit:
He highlighted the importance of changes in the eccentricity (shape) of the Earth's orbit around the sun.
Croll examined the effects of the precession of the equinoxes (the wobble in the Earth's rotation) and changes in the obliquity (the tilt of the Earth's axis).

Father Seán also extends this concept to the planet itself, proposing that Earth has seven levels:
One could say that, similar to the general populace, a race arose in this realm of the earth that was very dissimilar to present-day humanity.
