Flood Stories from Around the World
With Neptune's help, he caused storm and earthquake to flood everything but the summit of Parnassus, where Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha came by boat and found refuge.
The God Odi, Woden, or Wotan
There are many things to connect the mythology of the Gothic nations with Atlantis; they had, as we have seen, flood legends; their gods Krodo and Satar were the Chronos and Saturn of Atlantis; their Baal was the Bel of the Phœnicians, who were closely connected with Poseidon and Atlas; and, as we shall see hereafter, their language has a distinct relationship with the tongues of the Arabians, Cushites, Chaldeans, and Phœnicians.
The Gods of the Phœnician also Kings of Atlantis
We find also, in the Phœnician legends, mention made of Poseidon, founder and king of Atlantis.
We have seen the Autochthon of Plato reappearing in the Autochthon of the Phœnicians; the Atlas of Plato in the Atlas of the Phœnicians; the Poseidon of Plato in the Poseidon of the Phœnicians; while the kings Mestor and Mneseus of Plato are probably the gods Misor and Amynus of the Phœnicians.
The Kings of Atlantis become the Gods of the Greeks
These deities, including Zeus, were twelve in number: Zeus (or Jupiter), Hera (or Juno), Poseidon (or Neptune), Demeter (or Ceres), Apollo, Artemis (or Diana), Hephæstos (or Vulcan), Pallas Athena (or Minerva), Ares (or Mars), Aphrodite (or Venus), Hermes (or Mercury), and Hestia (or Vesta)." These were doubtless the twelve gods from whom the Egyptians derived their kings.
Greek tradition located the island in which Olympus was situated "in the far west," "in the ocean beyond Africa," "on the western boundary of the known world," "where the sun shone when it had ceased to shine on Greece," and where the mighty Atlas "held up the heavens." And Plato tells us that the land where Poseidon and Atlas ruled was Atlantis.
And this identification of the land that was destroyed by a flood--the land of Chronos and Poseidon and Zeus--with the Bronze Age, confirms the view expressed in Chapter VIII.
13, ante) we find that Poseidon and Atlas dwelt upon a mountain in the midst of the island; and on this mountain were their magnificent temples and palaces, where they lived, separated by great walls from their subjects.
Rees, "New British Cyclopædia," art. Titans)--"such as Gerard Vossius, Marsham, Bochart, and Father Thomassin--are of opinion that the partition of the world among the sons of Noah-Shem, Ham, and Japheth--was the original of the tradition of the same partition among Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto," upon the breaking up of the great empire of the Titans.
"The learned Pezron contends that the division which was made of this vast empire came, in after-times, to be taken for the partition of the whole world; that Asia remaining in the hands of Jupiter (Zeus), the most potent of the three brothers, made him looked upon as the god of Olympus; that the sea and islands which fell to Neptune occasioned their giving him the title of 'god of the sea;' and that Spain, the extremity of the then known world, thought to be a very low country in respect of Asia, and famous for its excellent mines of gold and silver, failing to Pluto, occasioned him to be taken for the 'god of the infernal regions.'" We should suppose that Pluto possibly ruled over the transatlantic possessions of Atlantis in America, over those "portions of the opposite continent" which Plato tells us were dominated by Atlas and his posterity, and which, being far beyond or below sunset, were the "under-world" of the ancients; while Atlantis, the Canaries, etc., constituted the island division with Western Africa and Spain.
Neptune, or Poseidon, says, in answer to a message from Jupiter,
Homer alludes to Poseidon as
Ulysses's wanderings were a prolonged struggle with Poseidon, the founder and god of Atlantis.
He married his sister Rhea, who bore him Pluto, Poseidon, Zeus, Hestia, Demeter, and Hera.
47.) Juno probably regarded the transaction in an altogether different light; and she therefore united with Poseidon, the king's brother, and his daughter
Poseidon, the first king of Atlantis, according to Plato, was, according to Greek mythology, a brother of Zeus, and a son of Chronos.
He was also master of an agricultural people; "the ram with the golden fleece for which the Argonauts sailed was the offspring of Poseidon." He carried in his hand a three-pronged symbol, the trident, doubtless an emblem of the three continents that were embraced in the empire of Atlantis.
Poseidon seems to have had settlements at Corinth, Ægina, Naxos, and Delphi.
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.
POSEIDON, OR NEPTUNE.
For instance, Keleos, who lived at Eleusis, near Athens, hospitably received Demeter, the Greek Ceres, the daughter of Poseidon, when she landed; and in return she taught him the use of the plough, and presented his son with the seed of barley, and sent him out to teach mankind how to sow and utilize that grain.
Dionysos, grandson of Poseidon, travelled "through all the known world, even into the remotest parts of India, instructing the people, as be proceeded, how to tend the vine, and how to practise many other arts of peace, besides teaching them the value of just and honorable dealings." (Murray's "Mythology," p.
They were ruled over by Poseidon and Atlas.
The Question of Complexion
Herodotus tells us that there was a nation of Libyans, called the Maxyans, who claimed descent from the people of Troy (the walls of Troy, we shall see, were built by Poseidon; that is to say, Troy was an Atlantean colony).
Corroborating Circumstances
Plato tells us that Atlantis and the Atlantic Ocean were named after Atlas, the eldest son of Poseidon, the founder of the kingdom.
Plato surrounds the great statue of Poseidon in Atlantis with the images of one hundred Nereids.
A holy king, named Satyavrata, then reigned, a servant of the spirit which moved on the waves" (Poseidon?), "and so devout that water was his only sustenance.
In seven days the three worlds" (remember Poseidon's trident) "shall be plunged in an ocean of death." .
American Evidences of Intercourse with Europe Or Atlantis
The empire of Atlantis was divided into ten kingdoms, governed by five couples of twin sons of Poseidon, the eldest being supreme over the others; and the ten constituted a tribunal that managed the affairs of the empire.
Some Consideration of the Deluge Legends
In the Hindoo legend we find the fish-god, who represents Poseidon, father of Atlantis, helping Manu over "the Mountain of the North." In the Chaldean legend Khasisatra's vessel is stopped by "the Mountain of Nizir" until the sea goes down.
"Now, the relations of their governments to one another were regulated by the injunctions of Poseidon, as the law had handed them down.
These were inscribed by the first then on a column of orichalcum, which was situated in the middle of the island, at the Temple of Poseidon, whither the people were gathered together.
The Deluge Legends of Other Nations
As we have seen, Poseidon, the founder of the civilization of Atlantis, is identical with Neptune, who is always represented riding a dolphin, bearing a trident, or three-pronged symbol, in his hand, emblematical probably of the triple kingdom.
tell us that in their time there were seven islands consecrated, to Proserpine, and three others of immense extent, of which the first was consecrated to Pluto, the second to Ammon, and the third to Neptune.
Atlantis was also consecrated to Neptune."' (See Humboldt's "Histoire de la Géographie du Nouveau Continent," vol.
Atlantis, Pyramids, Astrology, Solar Energy, ETs and more! (Part 1)
The Atlantean civilization had deep connections to the ocean and believed in gods like Poseidon, with water being a central element of their worship and energy systems.
Atlantis, Fallen Angels, and Archaic DNA
Zeus, seeing their corruption, gave Atlantis to Poseidon, and the city was eventually swallowed by the sea.
Selestor’s Men of Atlantis
The men of Neptune!" cried he loud, at last.
March the Neptune foemen at advance on leaving ships, well guarded at their anchorage.
As he spake a rush of icy air encircled, a fall of seeming forms, and where the men of Mars stood red enrobed or Neptune's blue, or white like lily leaf, stood shadows—one for every warring man.
They charged impartially upon Mars and Neptune—seemed to smite with shortened axes to the left and right and fought in line of single, compact hordes; each line a wall of bristling marble seemed, with not one break.
Next Neptune's fuller charge, impotent, broke not the ranks.
Helpless fell the hand that held the spear, and to their air boats rushed old Neptune's sons while Mars’ stood helpless, dumb!
Timaeus & Critias
.Concerning the allotments of the Gods, that they portioned out the whole earth, here into larger allotments and there into smaller, and provided for themselves shrines and sacrifices, even so Poseidon took for his allotment the island of Atlantis and settled therein the children whom he had begotten of a mortal woman in a region of the island of the following description.
And when this damsel was now come to marriageable age, her mother died and also her father; and Poseidon, being smitten with desire for her, wedded her; and to make the hill whereon she dwelt impregnable he broke it off all round about; and he made circular belts of sea and land enclosing one another alternately, some greater, some smaller, two being of land and three of sea, which he carved as it were out of the midst of the island; and these belts were at even distances on all sides, so as to be impassable for man; for at that time neither ships nor sailing were as yet in existence.
And Poseidon himself set in order with ease, as a god would, the central island, bringing up from beneath the earth two springs of waters, the one flowing warm from its source, the other cold, and producing out of the earth all kinds of food in plenty.
And they had built the palace at the very beginning where the settlement was first made by their God [Poseidon] and their ancestors; and as each king received it from his predecessor, he added to its adornment and did all he could to surpass the king before him, until finally they made of it an abode amazing to behold for the magnitude and beauty of its workmanship.
In the center there stood a temple sacred to Kleito (Cleito) and Poseidon, which was reserved as holy ground, and encircled with a wall of gold; this being the very spot where at the beginning they had generated and brought to birth the family of the ten royal lines.
Thither also they brought year by year from all the ten allotments their seasonable offerings to do sacrifice to each of those princes.And the temple of Poseidon himself was a stade in length, three plethra in breadth, and of a height which appeared symmetrical therewith; and there was something of the barbaric in its appearance.
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.
And the outflowing water they conducted to the sacred grove of Poseidon, which contained trees of all kinds that were of marvellous beauty and height because of the richness of the soil; and by means of channels they led the water to the outer circles over against the bridges.
But their authority over one another and their mutual relations were governed by the precepts of Poseidon, as handed down to them by the law and by the records inscribed by the first princes on a pillar of orikhalkon, which was placed within the temple of Poseidon in the center of the island; and thither they assembled every fifth year, and then alternately every sixth year--giving equal honor to both the even and the odd--and when thus assembled they took counsel about public affairs and inquired if any had in any way transgressed and gave judgement.
In the sacred precincts of Poseidon there were bulls at large; and the ten princes, being alone by themselves, after praying to the God that they might capture a victim well-pleasing unto him, hunted after the bulls with staves and nooses but with no weapon of iron; and whatsoever bull they captured they led up to the pillar and cut its throat over the top of the pillar, raining down blood on the inscription.
The Oera Linda Book
If we find among the Frisians a belief in a Godhead [xx]and ideas of religion entirely different from the Mythology of other nations, we are the more surprised to find in some points the closest connection with the Greek and Roman Mythology, and even with the origin of two deities of the highest rank, Min-erva and Neptune.
The other, Neptune, called by the Etrurians Nethunus, the God of the Mediterranean Sea, appears here to have been, when living, a Friesland Viking, or sea-king, whose home was Alderga (Ouddorp, not far from Alkmaar).
Myth or Lost Alien Civilization
According to MacGillivray, Atlantis was a city founded by Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, and was designed with concentric rings of water and land.
MacGillivray shares a unique interpretation of the myth, suggesting that the accounts of Poseidon fathering twin sons could point to genetic engineering.
He explains that the city of Atlantis, described as having been built around a mountain, included a temple of Poseidon and a series of moats wide enough to accommodate large warships.
These creatures were said to have raised Poseidon and used advanced metallurgy to create his trident.

Le Grand Voyage
The lights outside the windows were started, our speed modified to suit the element, and then we all gathered in the salon by the windows, darkness within and the waters lit without, enabling us to see curious tribes of Neptune which crowded about the strange illumination in their midst.
Critias, the story of Atlantis
Critias also discusses the layout of Atlantis, describing its concentric rings of water and land, and the grand temple of Poseidon at its center.
Athens was under the protection of Athena, while Atlantis was under the domain of Poseidon.
Meanwhile, Atlantis was under the rule of Poseidon.
The men of Atlantis, who were now ruled by Poseidon, were among these people.
The most important temple was dedicated to Poseidon and Cleito, and it was surrounded by a golden enclosure.
The temple was richly decorated with precious metals, and its interior featured a colossal statue of Poseidon driving six winged horses.
113a-113bThe Atlantean kings were descended from Poseidon and Cleito, who had five pairs of twin sons.
Poseidon divided the island of Atlantis into ten parts, giving each of his sons a portion to rule.
These kings governed according to the laws set down by Poseidon, and they remained faithful to their divine heritage for many generations.
The city was full of magnificent buildings, with the most important being the temple of Poseidon.
This temple was richly decorated with gold and silver, and it housed a colossal statue of Poseidon driving six winged horses.
The kings of Atlantis would meet regularly in the temple of Poseidon to discuss matters of state and to renew their oaths of loyalty to each other.
They would sacrifice bulls to Poseidon, and their rituals were conducted with great solemnity.
115e-116cThe kings ruled their territories justly, according to the laws set down by Poseidon.
The Phoenician history
From Pontos came Sidon, who first discovered how to sing a song because of her superlative voice, and Poseidon.
In addition, Kronos gave the city Byblos to the goddess Baaltis who is also Dione, and the city Beirut to Poseidon and to the Kabeiri, the Hunters and the Fishers, who made the relics of Pontos an object of worship in Beirut.

Poseidon and Erymanthos
Despite living near a river, they did not give proper veneration to Poseidon, the god of the sea, earthquakes, and water.
Whether out of negligence or an intentional preference for other deities, the people of Erymanthos failed to offer sacrifices or prayers to Poseidon, overlooking his dominion over all waters, including rivers and lakes.
Poseidon, who was known for his volatile temper and his demand for respect from mortals, took great offense at this slight.
In his anger, Poseidon decided to punish the people of Erymanthos.
The people of Erymanthos, who had not shown the proper reverence to Poseidon, were forced to flee their homes or perish in the flood.
The once-thriving region was reduced to a watery wasteland, a stark reminder of the power of Poseidon and the consequences of neglecting the gods.
