Great Flood Stories World wide
The Colonies of Atlantis
Dêsiré Charnay, a prominent explorer, noted that the Toltecs were fair, robust, and often bearded.
The Toltecs practiced a pure and simple religion, engaged in farming, weaving cotton, and cultivating fruits.
Similar sun deities and sun festivals (e.g., Rama in Hinduism, Rana among the Toltecs, Raymi in Peru, and Rayam in Yemen) indicate a widespread Atlantean influence.
Genesis Contains a History of Atlantis
Lord Kingsborough says: "The Toltecs had paintings of a garden, with a single tree standing in the midst; round the root of the tree is entwined a serpent, whose head appearing above the foliage displays the face of a woman.
American Evidences of Intercourse with Europe or Atlantis
Quetzalcoatl was a high-priest and god of the Toltecs, credited with various cultural advancements such as gem-cutting, metal-casting, and the invention of the Mexican calendar.
The Annals of the CakchiQuels
The occurrence of the Aztec name of the City of Light, Tulan (properly, Tonatlan), in these accounts, as they were rehearsed by the early converted natives, naturally misled historians to adopt the notion that these divine culture heroes were “Toltecs,” and even in the modern writings of the Abbé Brasseur (de Bourbourg), of M.
The term "City of Light" or "Tulan" in the context of Mesoamerican mythology and history often refers to Tollan, also known as Tula, which was the capital of the Toltec civilization.
The Toltecs were a pre-Aztec civilization in central Mexico, and their capital, Tollan, is thought to have been a major urban center and a place of cultural significance.
The whole alleged story of the Toltecs is merely an euhemerized myth, and they are as pure creations of the fancy as the giants and fairies of mediæval romance.
In the first volume of this series I have discussed their appearance in the legends of Central America, and need not refer to them here more than to say that those who have founded on these names theories of the derivation of the Maya tribes or their ruling families from the Toltecs, a purely imaginary people, have perpetrated the common error of mistaking myth for history.
The Deluge Legends of America
Toltec Flood Story: Describes a flood covering the earth and a close chest (toptlipetlocali) in which survivors escape.
Migration from Aztlan: The Toltecs migrated from Aztlan (Atlantis), a beautiful land, after a great flood.
The Fourth Root Race
Development of the Toltec Sub-race: The Toltec sub-race, known for its splendor and imperial nature, is established.
Formation of the City of the Golden Gates: The City of the Golden Gates is founded by the Toltec sub-race.
Rise of the Toltec Sub-race:
Ruling Race: The Toltec sub-race becomes the ruling race due to its superiority.
Conquests and Civilizations: The Toltec establish an empire, subduing various regions and integrating different populations.
75,025 B.C.: Final catastrophe submerges the remnants of Atlantis, ending the Toltec civilization's dominance.
After the race-type was fully established, He thus had the materials for the rich red-brown of the Toltec, the third sub-race, the most splendid and imperial of the Atlantean peoples, which ruled the world for tens of thousands of years.
Some of these came into the Tlavatli sub-race, and some later into the Toltec, when it was evolved ; and then He again incarnated in the latter, and founded the City of the Golden Gates, the first of many successive cities of that name.
The Toltec was at this time the ruling Race, by virtue of its great superiority.
Even in the City of the Golden Gates, only the aristocracy and the middle class were Toltec ; the lower classes were of mixed blood, and were largely composed of men and women taken captive in wars with other sub-races, and reduced to servitude by their conquerors.
Unconscious as he was of the tie between them, he was yet influenced by it, and treated the tribe kindly: instead of carrying them off as slaves, he introduced various improvements and incorporated the tribe into the Toltec Empire.
Sirius took several births in the Tlavatli sub-race, and then passed into the Toltec.
Beginning of the 5th Root Race
The pyramids were built, and the Toltecs ruled Egypt.
Their religion was different from that of the Toltecs living in the plains, and the Manu took advantage of this to isolate the sub-race.
Suffice it that a splendid Toltec civilisation was flourishing in Egypt when our emigrants passed along its borders, and the Egyptian Ruler, following the Toltec tradition that other races existed in order that the Toltecs might exploit them, tried to bribe them into remaining in his land.
Some succumbed to the temptation and remained in lower Egypt, in defiance of the Manu's command, to become, a little later, slaves to the dominant Toltecs.
Atlantean Peruvian Civilization
Toltec, in Ancient Peru
In the thirteenth millennium B.C., the civilization of Peru closely resembled that of the Toltec Empire at its peak.
so closely resembled that of the Toltec Empire in its zenith, that, having closely studied that period, we utilise it here as an example of Atlantean civilisation.
Egypt and India in their Atlantean periods, offered other examples, but, on the whole, the chief features of the Toltec Empire are best reproduced in the Peru which is here described.
The Civilisation of Atlantis
The Toltec land system, detailed in chapters on Peru, fostered general well-being and the absence of poverty through universal primary education.
This system was believed to be the best for the people during the prime of Toltec civilization.
In the days of the Toltec greatness there seems to have been no real poverty — even the retinue of slaves attached to most houses being well fed and clothed — but there were a number of comparatively poor houses in the lowest belt to the north, as well as outside the outermost canal towards the sea.
The land system of the Toltecs will be described in the chapters on Peru, and the absence of poverty and the general well-being of the population were largely due to the provision therein made for universal primary education.
Government was autocratic, and in the palmy days of Toltec civilisation under the Divine Kings, no system could have been happier for the people ; but as the unchecked powers They wielded passed into the hands of younger souls, abuses crept in and troubles arose ; for here, as everywhere, decay began in the corruption of the highest.
We have chosen two daughter civilisations which grew up in later days, far from the great centre of the fourth Root Eace — one descended from the third sub-race, the Toltec, the other from the fourth subrace, the Turanian — in order to give a more vivid and detailed picture of the level reached by the Atlanteans.
The Destruction of Atlantis
Lord Kingsborough says: "The Toltecs had paintings of a garden, with a single tree standing in the midst; round the root of the tree is entwined a serpent, whose head appearing above the foliage displays the face of a woman.
The Tlavatli Race
Simultaneously, a fusion of Tlavatli and Toltec races inhabited the western islands.
The first, was during the Rmoahal era around 3,000,000 years ago, and the second in the Toltec era, around 850,000 years ago.
Atlantis experienced two major glaciations: the first during the Rmoahal era about 3,000,000 years ago and the second in the Toltec era around 850,000 years ago.
Lord Kingsborough says: "The Toltecs had paintings of a garden, with a single tree standing in the midst; round the root of the tree is entwined a serpent, whose head appearing above the foliage displays the face of a woman.
In one form of the Tower of Babel legend, that of the Toltecs, we are told that the pyramid of Cholula was erected "as a means of escape from a second flood, should another occur."
Temple of Cholula
The temple complex was built by the ancient Mesoamerican civilization of the Olmecs and later expanded by the Maya and Toltecs.

At this first map period they also--as just stated--peopled the northern coasts, whilst a mixture of Tlavatli and Toltec race inhabited the western islands, which subsequently formed part of the American continent.
