Gold and silver: the sacred metals of Atlantis

Gold and silver held sacred significance across various ancient cultures, often associated with the sun and the moon.

Gold, with its brilliant luster, was associated with the sun, while silver, with its cooler, reflective surface, was linked to the moon.

Assyria: Gold and silver were dedicated to the sun and moon, respectively.

A pyramid in the palace of Nineveh featured stages covered in different colors representing celestial bodies, with gold at the top symbolizing the sun and silver representing the moon.

in the great temple at Mitzla, 'the City of the Moon,' in Ojaaca, Central America.

Their temples were on those "high-places." The most ancient pyramids in Mexico are at Teotihuacan, eight leagues from the city of Mexico; the two largest were dedicated to the sun and moon respectively, each built of cut stone, with a level area at the summit, and four stages leading up to it.

He considers the analogy established in eleven particulars, as follows: 1, the site chosen is the same; 2, the structures are orientated with slight variation; 3, the line through the centres of the structures is in the astronomical meridian; 4, the construction in grades and steps is the same; 5, in both cases the larger pyramids are dedicated to the sun; 6, the Nile has "a valley of the dead," as in Teotihuacan there is "a street of the dead;" 7, some monuments in each class have the nature of fortifications; 8, the smaller mounds are of the same nature and for the same purpose; 9, both pyramids have a small mound joined to one of their faces; 10, the openings discovered in the Pyramid of the Moon are also found in some Egyptian pyramids; 11, the interior arrangements of the pyramids are analogous.

Incorporation of Advanced Egos: The Manu arranges for advanced egos from the Moon Chain to incarnate in the new race.

Arrival of Egos from the Moon Chain:

First Ship-load of Egos: The first group of egos arrives on Earth from the Moon Chain.

Middle Globe (D) of the Moon Chain: Existing on the physical plane, represented by the Moon today.

Animal Evolution: Mammals on the Moon Chain evolved through stages, showing advanced behaviors and interactions with humans.

Advanced Civilization: The Moon Chain featured advanced human civilizations with organized communities and sophisticated structures.

The Manu arranged with the Root-Manu to send Him large numbers of egos ready for incarnation — those from globe D of the Moon Chain who had complete causal bodies, and who had individualised in the lunar fourth arid fifth Eounds.

Nor was there any mingling of the large classes of the Moon-Men and Animal-Men.

The Seven Globes

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).

The moon's life divides itself naturally into twice seven days of waxing and an equal number of waning, and its quarters give us our week of seven days.

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.

The Venusian Scheme is reaching the end of its fifth Chain, and Venus has consequently lately lost her Moon, the globe D of the preceding Chain.1 It is possible that Vulcan, which Herschel saw, but which, it is said, has now disappeared, is in its sixth Chain, but on that we have no information, either direct or mediate.

Jupiter is not yet inhabited, but its moons are, by beings with dense physical bodies.

There are some who dedicated themselves to it on reaching Arhatship in the Moon-Chain; others who are Adepts;3 others who have passed far beyond this stage in human evolution.

Annie Besant

Beginning of the 5th Root Race

A tribe from the fifth sub-race, described as the "moon-coloured race," was isolated in the mountains north of Ruta.

He was a Lord of the Moon, taking the first step in Initiation on Globe G of the seventh round, where also He attained Arhatship.

The isolation of a tribe from the white fifth subrace (the moon-coloured race, as the Stanzas of Dzyan poetically describe it) which lived in the mountains to the north of Ruta, was the first decisive step in the building of the Race, and this took place about 100,000 B.

Turanian, in Ancient Chaldaea.

Each of the planets had as signed to it at least two great feast days in the year and the Sun and Moon appropriated considerably more than two.

With regard to Mercury, Venus, the Moon, and Mars, the Chaldsean measurements of relative size corresponded precisely with our own ; but Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, though immensely larger than the inner group, were yet decidedly smaller than they would have been if constructed on the same scale according to our received calculations.

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.

The garments of the Moon were naturally of white material, but so interwoven with threads of silver that practically it might be called cloth of silver, as the Sun's was cloth of gold.

Yet in certain lights this Moon-robe showed beautiful pale violet shades, which much enhanced its effect.

Joseph in a Catholic cathedral, fcr one of them was consecrated to the Sun and the other to the Moon, and some of the regular daily services connected with these two luminaries were celebrated at them.

Upon this altar burnt always what was called ' sacred Moon-fire,' and this was allowed to go out only once a year, on the night before the spring equinox.

The following morning the rays of the Sun, passing through an orifice above the eastern altar, fell directly upon that at the west end, and by means of a glass globe filled with water which was suspended in their path and acted as a lens, the Sun himself relit the sacred Moon-fire, which was then carefully tended and kept burning for another year.

Atlantean Peruvian Civilization

They were able to predict eclipses both of the sun and moon with perfect accuracy, but this was not done by observation, but by use of a traditional formula; they understood their nature, and do not seem to have attached much importance to them.

San People

Creation Myth of Cagn

The Moon and the Hare: Another notable story involves how the moon came to be.

In this tale, the moon sends a message to humans through a hare, saying that like the moon waxes and wanes but always returns, so will humans die and come back to life.

However, the hare misdelivers the message, saying that humans will die and not return, which angers the moon.

As punishment, the moon hits the hare, splitting its lip, which is why hares have a split upper lip.

Phoenix

Symbolically, the fenghuang's body represents celestial bodies: the head is the sky, the eyes are the sun, the back is the moon, the wings are the wind, the feet are the earth, and the tail is the planets.

Hanns Hörbiger

The World Ice Theory

According to his ideas, ice was the basic substance of all cosmic processes, and ice moons, ice planets, and the "global ether" (also made of ice) had determined the entire development of the universe.

Hörbiger claimed that Earth and other planets have had multiple moons made of ice that periodically crash into the planets, causing cataclysmic events such as floods and changes in climate.

He suggested that our current moon is just the latest in a series of such ice moons.

The theory posits that many of Earth's geological and climatic changes, as well as historical catastrophes described in myth and legend (such as the Great Flood), can be attributed to the impacts and influences of these ice moons.

The forbidden fruit

The churning of the ocean produced various divine objects and beings, including Lakshmi (the goddess of wealth), the moon, and ultimately, the pot of Amrita.

Numerology

The moon's life divides itself naturally into twice seven days of waxing and an equal number of waning, and its quarters give us our week of seven days.

Anu was represented by the number 60, Enlil by 50, Ea by 40, Sin, the moon god, by 30, Shamash by 20, Ishtar by 15, and Adad, the god of storms, by 6.

Moon-related characters such as Uannedugga and Solon represent law, ethics, and societal change.

Uannedugga, Solon of Athens, Atri, Mencius, Isaac, Sikhi Buddha, the Master of Hungary, along with their symbolic associations with the Moon, Yao (one of the Gnostic Archons), the element Silver, and the virtue Justice, represent another cohesive group of figures whose similarities reflect their profound impact on law, ethics, and societal governance within their respective cultures.

MoonsJupiter has a large number of moons, with 79 confirmed moons as of now.

The four largest moons—Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto—were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610 and are known as the Galilean moons.

Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system, even bigger than the planet Mercury.

It is the third brightest natural object in the Earth's night sky after the Moon and Venus and has been observed since prehistoric times.

Nag Hammadi Codex I

The third Adam is earthly

The two bulls in Egypt, insofar as they indicate the sun and the moon as a mystery, exist for a witness to Sabaoth, that Sophia of the world has been exalted above the sun and the moon, from the day when she created them and sealed her heaven until the consummation of the age.

4 Heads and 4 Arms

… The number and features of these three sexes were owing to the fact that the male was originally the offspring of the sun, and the female of the earth; while that which partook of both sexes was born of the moon, for the moon also partakes of both.

Bats

According to the tale, when birds were challenged to fly to the moon, only the bat, who was initially dismissed due to its small size and lack of beautiful plumage, managed to reach the destination.

A common theme in some Aboriginal stories is the relationship between the bat and the moon.

In certain tales, the bat is responsible for the phases of the moon.

The waxing and waning of the moon are explained through stories of the bat either hiding the moon or revealing it.
