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.

This connects the Phoenicians with the island in the remote west, in the midst of the ocean, where, according to the Greeks, the Titans dwelt.

This mirrors the Greek legend where Zeus overthrows his father, Chronos.

Chronos gave Attica to his daughter Athena, similar to the Greek legends.

Autochthon, Atlas, and Poseidon appear in both Greek and Phoenician legends.

The Greek mythology places the tenth labor of Hercules in the island of Erythea, beyond the Pillars of Hercules.

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.

The debate over the foundation of Greek mythology—whether it is rooted in nature worship, planetary worship, or something else—has been a topic of scholarly discussion.

The Greeks also worshipped the sun, as seen in the adoration of Apollo, one of their chief deities associated with the sun.

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

Immortality: Greek gods were believed to be immortal but not eternal.

Human-like Attributes: The Greek gods had human qualities, including love, pain, and conflict, suggesting they were deified humans.

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

Greek mythology, when examined closely, reveals its roots in Atlantean history.

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

American Evidences of Intercourse with Europe or 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.

Traditions

Couvade

The Ancient Greek writer Plutarch mentioned a custom in Cyprus, reported by Paeon of Amathus, in which a young man would imitate the crying and gestures of women in labor to honor the myth of Ariadne, who died while pregnant.

Couvade has been documented by travelers throughout history, including the Greek geographer Strabo.

A populated universe

So if your dad is a lion and your mom is a tiger, you’ve got no growth inhibitor, and you’ll just keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger until you’re bigger than the tiger, bigger than the lion.[37:01] Something like that apparently happened with the Bene Elohim hybridizing with human females, and their offspring became giants—referred to as Titans in the Greek tradition, as Josephus points out many ages later—the men of legend, says Genesis 6, and they are called Nephilim in the biblical story.[37:35] Nephilim may be a word for various demographics who are bigger than your average human being, and some of them left for the period of the flood and came back later.

Uranus

The Greeks had several myths involving giants.

In mythology, Uranus has a rich and storied background in Greek mythology.

He is the god of the sky, and his name, Οὐρανός (Ouranos), means "sky" or "heaven" in Greek.

This union between sky and earth was foundational in Greek cosmogony, explaining the origin of many key entities and forces in the world.

The overthrow of Uranus by Cronus set the stage for a recurring theme in Greek mythology—that of the son overthrowing the father.

Uranus' mythological narrative is fundamental in Greek mythology, representing themes of creation, conflict, and the cyclical nature of power dynamics within the pantheon of gods.

Pentacost

The name "Pentecost" comes from the Greek word "pentēkostē," which means "fiftieth." It marks the conclusion of the Easter season and is considered the birthday of the Christian Church, because it was the moment when the apostles went out into the streets to preach Jesus' message, which led to the spreading of Christianity.
