Kurimeo Ahau reads a 1943 Spanish study by Jose Luis Melgarejo Vivanco, kept at the University of Veracruz. The names behind Atlantis, he says, sit in the Americas, the region he thinks excavators are least willing to search. Local names share a root like atlan, and Greek or Latin only adds tis. A paragraph he translates speaks of America rising while another center sinks, and of old animal links between Brazil and Africa under the ocean. He takes that as an origin on this side of the water. Columbus, in the passage, found a city called Atlan on the Gulf of Darien. A glass reported from Troy, naming Kronos king of Atlantis, becomes a pointer to Panama, and an owl on it becomes the mark of Queen Moo of the Maya. An early Egyptian, he says, sent people to seek Atlantis because his ancestors came from there, the same pattern he gives Thoth. From a related reading he says Maya groups linked with India founded Babylon and the lower Nile, and that shared images were carried outward from here.
