As a woman, she enjoys her time with Budha, and as a man, she performs austerities.

Ila is associated with events from the ancient Hindu texts, which place her existence in the early ages of the cosmic time cycle known as Yugas.

Four Yugas

It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond, to those of modern scientific cosmology.

Longer than the age of the Earth or the Sun and about half the time since the Big Bang.

And there are much longer time scales still ”

The Codex Vaticanus

Stars and Constellations

The manuscript originally contained a near-complete Bible, but some parts have been lost over time.

"And God said, 'Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.' And it was so.

Jesus speaks of celestial signs accompanying the end times.

This apocalyptic imagery depicts cosmic upheaval during the end times.

Understanding the Ancient African Calendar

Deity: Set, the God of Chaos, represents opposition and the longest night of the year, symbolizing a time for deep reflection and inner growth.

Mkhulu Nsingiza:"Our ancestors calculated time based on the rising of the sun, unlike the Western Gregorian calendar.

February, governed by Ma'at, is the time for harvest and balance."

Mkhulu Nsingiza:"June, ruled by Set, the spirit of opposition, is the time of hibernation and introspection.

The African Calendar

I spent a lot of time watching the stars, reading about constellations, and trying to understand why the stars move the way they do.

It was how they tracked time, knew when to sow, when to harvest, and when to celebrate the beginning of a solar cycle.

Using names that don't resonate with us renders us powerless over certain aspects of our time and place.

Antoinette Bourignon

Primeval man and the birth of Eve

He was taller than men of this time; his hair was short, curled, and approaching to black.

She taught that the end times would come soon and that the Last Judgment would then fall.

Malagasy Adam Story

Zanahary shaped Andrianerinerina

Andrianerinerina lived alone on the earth for a long time, and although he had everything he needed, he felt a deep sense of loneliness.

As time went on, Andrianerinerina and Andriambavirano had many children, and their descendants spread across the land, populating Madagascar.

The Hova people, ancestors of the Merina, migrated into the highlands, coexisting peacefully with the Vazimba for some time.

The Hindu Puranic King List

It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond, to those of modern scientific cosmology.

The semi-mythical aspect of Manetho’s king list

The semi-mythical aspect of Manetho's king lists generally refers to the earliest periods of Egyptian history, particularly the First Dynasty and some parts of the Pre-Dynastic period, often referred to as the "Mythical Period" or the "Time of the Gods" and "Demigods."

Our Predeluvian History

Time: 10,800 BCE

Time: 11,800 BCE

Herodotus

Ancient Egypt – 11,800 BCE

Therefore, his "own time" would be in this period, specifically during the height of Classical Greece.

Herodotus, the ancient Greek historian, wrote that Egyptian history spanned over 11,340 years before his own time.

"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).

"In ancient times, the Egyptians had no kings, and the country was ruled by the priests" (Histories, Book 2, 2.142).

Herodotus does not specifically mention this period but notes times of strife and disorder.

This event is beyond Herodotus' time, but he sets the stage for Egypt's long history leading up to foreign rule.

Atlantis

Chronos

He is often associated with time, especially the destructive and all-consuming aspects of time.

He is often associated with time, especially the destructive and all-consuming aspects of time.

Chronos is frequently depicted with a sickle or scythe, symbolizing the passage of time and its inevitable impact.

The story of Chronos reflects the cyclical nature of power and time, highlighting themes of succession and the inevitable overthrow of the old by the new.

Time and Decline: Chronos’s association with time is used to symbolize the rise and fall of civilizations.

Donnelly suggests that the downfall of Atlantis can be seen as part of the broader cycle of time that Chronos represents.

Time and Transformation: Bridgman-Metchum uses Chronos to symbolize the transformative power of time.

Association with Time:

Symbol of Time: Chronos is universally associated with time, particularly its destructive and all-encompassing nature.

Cycle of Rise and Fall: The connection to time also underscores the themes of rise and fall, succession, and transformation.

The fall of Atlantis is framed within the broader context of time and transformation that Chronos represents.

Sickle or Scythe: Chronos is often depicted with a sickle or scythe, symbolizing the passage of time and its inevitable effects.

This imagery reinforces his association with the destructive and cyclical nature of time.

Atlantis

Poseidon

Civilization’s Peak: Bridgman-Metchum highlights the peak of Atlantean civilization under Poseidon’s influence, depicting it as a time of unparalleled prosperity and technological advancement.

Nahuasco and Chanoc: These characters were part of Noah's circle, assisting him in strategic decisions and discussions, especially during times of war and conflict​​.

At the same time, the followers of the Fish-god embody corruption and defiance of true worship.

The transition from ornate hieroglyphs to simplified alphabetic characters illustrates the evolution of writing systems over time.

The antiquity of some of our great inventions

It was known in Europe before the time of Berthold Schwarz and used in various forms in ancient China, India, and the Arab world.

The art of silk manufacture, known in China and India from ancient times, implies a high level of civilization.

The process was likely passed down from Atlantean times.

The Colonies of Atlantis

Over time, these navigators discovered and explored the mouth of the Mississippi River, planting colonies along its fertile and salubrious shores.

The Berbers, an ancient people dating back to the times of Menes and Phoenician navigators, have historically been a dominant force in the region.

These narratives propose a connection between Ireland and Atlantis, emphasizing early settlements that date back to ancient times.

Their name, F'omoraig Afraic, implies an origin from the West (Atlantis), as Africa at that time referred to the western lands.

These towers, some dating back to pre-Christian times, indicate an advanced and shared building tradition.

The Pyramid, the cross and the Garden of Eden

No revolution or other casualty has wrought any perceptible difference in their several forms or delineations; they have passed from one hemisphere to the other intact; have survived dynasties, empires, and races; have been borne on the crest of each successive wave of Aryan population in its course toward the West; and, having been reconsecrated in later times by their lineal descendants, are still recognized as military and national badges of distinction.

In the Purânas of the Hindoos we read of pyramids long anterior in time to any which have survived to our day.

"That Sabian worship once extensively prevailed in the New World is a well-authenticated fact; it is yet practised to some extent by the wandering tribes on the Northern continent, and was the national religion of the Peruvians at the time of the Conquest.

Those accompaniments, however, are disposed without any particular regard to order, but the four arms of the cross, nevertheless, severally and accurately point to the cardinal quarters, The same regularity is observable on a much smaller but not less curious monument, which was discovered some time since in an ancient Peruvian huaca or catacomb--namely, a syrinx or pandean pipe, cut out of a solid mass of lapis ollaris, the sides of which are profusely ornamented, not only with Maltese crosses, but also with other symbols very similar in style to those inscribed on the obelisks of Egypt and on the monoliths of this country.

Indeed, but for the fact of such monuments of patient industry and unexampled skill being still in existence, the accounts of some others which have long since disappeared, having succumbed to the ravages of time and the fury of the bigoted Mussulman, would sound in our ears as incredible as the story of Porsenna's tomb, which 'o'ertopped old Pelion,' and made 'Ossa like a wart.' Yet something not very dissimilar in character to it was formerly the boast of the ancient city of Benares, on the banks of the Ganges.

So that it appears that the base of the Teotihuacan structure is nearly as large as that of Cheops, while that of Cholula covers nearly four times as much space.

We find the emblem of the Cross in pre-Christian times venerated as a holy symbol on both sides of the Atlantic; and we find it explained as a type of the four rivers of the happy island where the civilization of the race originated.

The Gods of the Phoenicians also kings of Atlantis

During a time of plague, Chronos sacrificed his son to Ouranos and circumcised himself, compelling his allies to do the same.

Though we do not know that primitive language from which the Semitic dialects diverged, yet we know that at one time such language must have existed." This highlights the linguistic connections among the ancient civilizations.

Genesis Contains a History of Atlantis

The Hebrews are a branch of the great family of which that powerful commercial race, the Phoenicians, who were the merchants of the world fifteen hundred years before the time of Christ, were a part.

The Hebrews carried out from the common storehouse of their race a mass of traditions, many of which have come down to modern times in that oldest and most venerable of human compositions, the Book of Genesis.
