Atlantis, Edda und Bibel (1925)

I read Hermann Wieland’s Atlantis, Edda und Bibel for the names, places, and dates he would set beside Plato, the Edda, and the Bible. The title page prints the title, the subtitle 200 000 Jahre Germanischer Weltkultur und das Geheimnis der Heiligen Schrift, Mit 86 Abbildungen, Von Hermann Wieland, Dritte, gänzlich umgearbeitete Auflage, the year 1925, and Großdeutscher Verlag, Weißenburg in Bayern. The next leaf dedicates the book to his German fatherland, reserves the rights and especially the right of translation, prints Copyright 1922 by Großdeutscher Verlag Weißenburg, and names the printer Benedikt Hilz at Nuremberg. The year on the title page is 1925, before 1929, so I treat the book as public domain and quote his own sentences under the dates and places. This copy is a later facsimile. Its wrapper says the Fraktur was read and proofread, that the original page numbers and page breaks were kept except in the preface, that the original edition is Weißenburg 1925, and that the reprint is Roland Faksimile, Bremen. I am not correcting his spellings from other books, and I am not lining his years up with Lewis Spence or with Churchward except where Wieland himself names a book.

The body is numbered. In this file, printed page 1 is file page 14, and the printed number after that is the file page minus 13, through printed page 264. The three prefaces and the contents list have no printed numbers. A slip after the publisher’s note corrects three lines: page 2, line 21, should read Tius und Zius; page 24, line 4, should read 50,000 years; page 182, line 5 from the bottom, should read Jesus. Where the text layer splits a word, I close the split only when the word is plain. I keep a verse number as he prints it when it does not match the verse a reader will find in Genesis.

His equation is one history told three ways. Germanic settlers from the north built Plato’s city on an Atlantic plain he calls the Idafeld. The Edda remembers that city, its well, its tree, and its gods. The Bible, on his reading, is the same report, stolen and rewritten. I will follow that claim section by section. I will not treat Hörbiger’s world ice, Wendrin’s rock pictures, or Wieland’s racial reading of Scripture as settled.

The book at a glance

• Title: Atlantis, Edda und Bibel. 200 000 Jahre Germanischer Weltkultur und das Geheimnis der Heiligen Schrift.
• Author: Hermann Wieland. The third preface is signed Wien, November 1924.
• Edition I read: Third, wholly revised edition. Großdeutscher Verlag, Weißenburg in Bayern, 1925. Copyright line 1922. Printed by Benedikt Hilz, Nuremberg. 86 illustrations. The numbered text runs from printed page 1 to printed page 264, in 38 sections, after three prefaces and a contents list.
• What he claims: Atlantis was a Germanic colony and the original of Eden, Asgard, and the holy city in the midst of the sea. Egyptian priests dated its drowning to 9564 B.C., about 11,500 years ago. The twelve Asen are the twelve tribes of Israel. Baldur is the prehistoric king later worshipped as Jesus. Ezra, about 500 B.C., assembled the Bible out of older Aryan books and put the Hebrews in the place of the Aias.

Findings worth setting beside other writers

• The sinking he wants used as a date. From the Egyptian priests, Atlantis was swallowed in 9564 B.C., about 11,500 years before him. Manetho, he says, gives Egyptian culture about 27,000 years. Humboldt’s four Mexican ages are 18,028 years. Add the 11,500 and he gets about 30,000 years of Aryan culture on Atlantis, then says the real age is hundreds of thousands (p. 73). A Persian legend and Indian secret books, as he cites them, also put the sinking at about 11,500 years (p. 134).
• A second pair of figures for the same drowning. Plato, as Wieland uses him, gives Atlantis 60 million people before it sank (p. 122). The Troano manuscript, which he places in the British Museum and dates about 3,500 years before his own time, says ten lands, including the land of Mu, sank with 64 million inhabitants, 8,060 years before that book was written (p. 134). Those two populations are close. The two clocks are not.
• An older flood that uncovers the island, and a later one that covers it. After Indian records, the previous moon Phoebus fell 800,000 years ago (p. 12). That fall, on his telling, lets Atlantis and Lemuria rise. The capture of the present moon Luna drowns them again. Under Xisuchros, Sisuthos, whom he says represents Jesus and his time, the Chaldean flood, which he also calls Celtic, is 18 Saren of 3,600 years, which he writes as 64,800 years. The Saren moon-periods he gives the Celts cover 432,000 years (p. 132). He also says parts of Lemuria lie only 75 meters (246.06 feet) under water, and that neither land will rise again (p. 135).
• The world fire and the fall of Asgard do not meet the sinking date. Egyptian priests, answering Solon’s Phaethon story, put a fire over the earth about 13,500 years ago (p. 83). The revolution that ends Asgard is about 12,500 years ago (p. 119). The priest state is about 3,500 years after the world fire and about 1,000 years before the great city in the sea goes down (p. 119). Set beside 9564 B.C., those intervals do not close. I leave them as printed.
• The voyages. The third preface, which has no printed number, says the Bohuslän pictures show Germans sailing the oceans about 200,000 years ago and planting colonies. On p. 96 the same pictures, after Wendrin, show strongly built rowing ships calculated for 90 men, and the same 200,000 years. The pictures themselves he carries back 800,000 years, over 500 kilometers (310 miles) of coast (pp. 16, 20). A Nile-delta survey map on those rocks is 50,000 years old, which is also the figure the correction slip requires on p. 24. Sea traffic with Egypt is 45,000 years ago (p. 94). A red invasion of Germany, again from Wendrin’s reading of the pictures, is about 60,000 years ago (p. 126). On p. 128 he asks whether King Michael’s victory was 11,500 or 60,000 years ago.
• Where the city is, and what he refuses. Not Jerusalem. A plain open to the east, climate like southern Italy and the Azores and Canaries, one gold-bearing river split into four, mountains he calls the Ida mountains (p. 22). The holy hill stands 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) from the sea. Three water rings, 1,800, 1,200, and 600 feet (182 meters), an island 3,000 feet (914 meters) across, a canal to the sea 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) long, 300 feet (91 meters) wide, and 100 feet (30.48 meters) deep, and a bridge 100 feet (30.48 meters) wide of white, black, and red stone (pp. 36, 39). The temple is 600 feet (182 meters) long and 300 feet (91 meters) wide (p. 49). Plato does not name the city. Wieland calls it Babylon, Thula or Thule, Asgard, and Walhalla. The continent, after the fall of Phoebus, reached England, and England was still joined to France (p. 21). West of the pillars of Hercules is the remnant Plato and the Bible describe. For Eduard Suess, Greenland is a radial cut of Atlantis, of the old red sandstone (p. 18).
• The names he equates. Aias, Aria, and Arier are the holy ones and the children of God. The twelve Asen are the twelve tribes of Israel. Wodan and Odin are the Inca Votan and Odon. Poseidon is Jeremiah’s king of the sea land. Heimdall commands 10,000 chariots. One other Ase commands 1,200 triremes (p. 30). Later he writes 12,000 warships (p. 96). Loki is the high priest. Baldur, son of Odin and Freya, is Jesus, and also Esus, Osiris, Adonis, Attis, Tammuz, Dionysus, Marduk, Krishna, Buddha, Mithras, and Siegfried. Freya is Mary, Maja, Isis, and Mylitta. The Urd spring is the well of life. Yggdrasil is the tree of life, and the cross at Palenque. Eden is the Idafeld, Mitgard, and Asgard. Noah is one man who loaded a ship, and he sets beside him Belgamer to Sweden, Xisuthrus to Chaldea, Vaivasata to India, Peirum to China, and the Atlantic priest Deukalion to Greece (p. 135). Adam is a mixed man. Ask and Embla are the shore creatures the Asen found. Gog and Magog are the North Sea and the Baltic. Israel, on his reading, is a Germanic collective name taken over by the Hebrews.

For Plato’s own city, see Timaeus and Critias. Wieland’s bibliography names Donnelly, whose book is Atlantis: The Antediluvian World. The land of Mu in his Troano quotation is a different use of that name from James Churchward’s Mu.

Preface to the first edition

The first preface has no printed number. It starts from Friedrich Döllinger’s Baldur und Bibel. Wieland says Döllinger was the first to argue that Jesus was not a Jew but an Aryan, that Christianity comes from an Aryan Germanic source, and that the culture of Palestine before the Jews, and the culture called Jewish, was Germanic. He says many Bible riddles remain, especially many psalms, the prophetic books, and the Revelation of St. John. His own pages will solve those last riddles. For 2,500 years, he writes, old Aryan writings were altered so that the Jewish people would be the master people of the world and the Germans their servants. The reader is to see the links of Atlantis, the Edda, and the Bible, and to see Aryan people as the original makers of the Bible and of culture. If Germany keeps the international ideas he assigns to Judah and Rome, he says it is lost. If it stands on the facts in this book and on Aryan Christianity and its old race laws, a bloody victory will be followed by a rise. A footnote names Hans Lienhardt, Ein Riesenverbrechen am deutschen Volke und die Internationalen Ernsten Bibelforscher.

Preface to the second edition

Also unnumbered. A second edition was needed a few weeks after the book appeared. He takes that as a sign of forces still alive in a badly sick German people. What has poisoned the Germans for 2,000 years cannot be driven out overnight. The book goes out a second time with few changes. It is to be a signpost in the war of ideas appointed to Germandom in the World War. He points to the afterword at the end of the book.

Preface to the third edition

Still unnumbered, and this is the preface of the edition on the title page. Critics had said that a prehistoric Atlantis was not historically and documentarily firm enough. If it were proved, they could agree with the book. Wieland says the astronomers Hanns Hörbiger and Hanns Fischer have proved the continent, its destruction by an earth catastrophe, the flood, and the high culture of its inhabitants. In 1923 and 1924, as if on cue, Fr. v. Wendrin in Berlin deciphered the Swedish rock-picture writings, which astronomers judge to be as much as 200,000 years old, the oldest documents of mankind. After those pictures, Germans were already bold seafarers about 200,000 years ago and planted colonies in other continents.

Nach diesen Bilderschriften steht fest, daß Germanen schon vor rund 200 000 Jahren als kühne Seefahrer die Weltmeere befuhren und in anderen Weltteilen Kolonien anlegten.

Hermann Wieland. Atlantis, Edda und Bibel (1925), file p. 10

The sense is that, on his reading of those pictures, Germanic people were already sailing the oceans about 200,000 years ago and founding colonies elsewhere. He adds Hörbiger, Fischer, and M. Valier as the new foundation, and the Swedish pictures as confirmation. The new point of this edition is the person of the historical Jesus. The investigation ends, he says, in this: Jesus was a German, and a prehistoric Germanic king. Germany, in his words, gave birth to the savior of the world. The right history of that person should lead not away from Christianity but to a pure Christianity with the Jewish element removed. He says the historical inquiries are not meant to attack or degrade any recognized religious society, only to free his people from errors and from the results of bold falsifications of history. History falsification, he writes, has hindered the German people for 1,500 years. Signed Wien, November 1924, Hermann Wieland.

Questions of prehistory

Section 1, printed pages 1 to 5, is a list of questions, not yet the story of the island. The World War has made the German people suspicious of equality, reconciliation of peoples, general disarmament, and eternal peace. He names v. Widdumhoff and H. Lienhardt. Church teaching, as he states it, makes the earth only 6,000 years old, while science speaks of millions and billions, and makes man only 5,684 years old, while man is already present in the Tertiary. The Bible’s one pair in paradise, Adam and Eve, cannot, he says, be the parents of races that differ in body and character. Hebrew adhom for Adam means reddish brown and, for him, points to a mixed person of the lowest races. Assyrian, he says, calls Adam Udumv, a name for those half animal and half human, and Jerome translated Adam outright as cattle. Beside “men” the Bible speaks of children or sons of God, Theos, who took daughters of men. He asks whether those are a higher kind, sons of the gods or of Theos, whom he writes Tius Zius, the white people, against the human-like animals of the Edda. The correction slip says page 2, line 21, must read Tius und Zius. He calls the white shining people the Aurinar race, as this copy prints it. Germans, he claims, come from the children of God. Their enemies come from animal-men or from mixed people. He points to Dr. Woltmann, Politische Anthropologie, and to Gobineau, Wilser, and Gunther. Canaan and Shem, the lower race, are to be servants of Japheth, the white race. He names the treaties of Versailles, Spa, and London.

Paradise is the next question. Where was it, and where are its rivers? Does it mean a former eternal spring? Did the gods set animal-men in God’s garden as slaves? A later flood covered the mountains. Rain, he says, could not pile up over the peaks, so the report must be an old account of an earth catastrophe. Who was Noah, of what race, and how did one family produce such different races? The holy chosen people cannot, for him, be the Hebrews. He asks who they are, and answers that they may be the children of God, the Germanic race. The holy city of God stands in the midst of the sea, on many waters, between two seas, by many islands, with the mountain of God between two seas, with borders in the midst of the sea, and with the throne of God in the midst of the sea. He sends the reader to sections 11, 30, and 31. Jerusalem, he says, can never be that city. Perhaps it is the capital of sunk Atlantis, and perhaps Atlantis is the paradise of the Bible.

He then ties Hebrew sacrifice, as he reads it, to Atlantic American Indian cult, and cites Ghillany, Die Menschenopfer bei den Hebräern, Braunschweig 1842. Spanish conquerors of Central America found baptism, the evening meal, holy water, a papacy, priestly dress, the cross, confession, and forgiveness of sins, though America had not been in contact with Europe for thousands of years. He finds the same things in Tibetan Buddhism. If a crucified figure was already honored among Aztecs and Egyptians, he asks when Jesus lived, and whether it was in Palestine. Buddha’s gospels, about 500 years older, often match the gospel of Christ almost word for word. He asks whether Jesus borrowed from Buddha or Buddha from a Jesus who lived in the gray past. The Bible, if all this holds, is not God’s word but old history reports rewritten for the purposes of Judaism. He does not answer the list in this section. He says the next sections will try, with astronomy, geology, paleontology, anthropology, race study, and newer history, to join the Bible to the German Edda and to the old sagas of the peoples of the earth, and that the drowned continent Atlantis was a chief glory of Germanic culture.

A time of terror on earth

Section 2, pages 6 to 14, is Hörbiger’s world ice, told as the terror the Edda and the Bible remember. Limestone in the Bavarian lithographic quarries, sand and clay pits, salt mines, and beds of stone coal and brown coal, often over 1,000 meters (3280 feet) deep, are for him the work of enormous floods, not of ordinary rivers. Coal is forests torn from the tropics and drifted north and south. In South America, flood marks stand at 3,000 meters (9842 feet), and above them, on steep walls, are hieroglyphs at least 1 million years old that could only have been cut from a raft. In Greenland and on Novaya Zemlya, which he prints Nowaja Semlia, flood marks stand at 1,000 meters (3280 feet). He cites H. Fischer, Weltwenden, A. Humboldt’s American diary, and R. Falb, Kritische Tage, Sintflut und Eiszeit. More than 70 flood sagas, after Andree, may have a historical ground. The astronomy is Hörbiger, Das deutsche Weltbild, Voigtländer, Leipzig, and Fischer in the same house. A footnote also names Valier, Der Sterne Bahn und Wesen, though this copy once prints Mar Valiet.

The earth was thrown from the sun as a glowing ball millions and billions of years ago. Smaller bodies were caught as moons, spiraled in, and fell. Each fall brought ice, floods from equator to pole and back, new land, coal from drifted forests, and petroleum from mass death of animals. After a fall came a new heaven and a new earth, and in the moonless time new plants, animals, races, and cultures. The previous moon he calls Phoebus. About 1 million years ago it looked much as our moon does. It closed in until its month was one day. Water piled into a girdle flood between the tropics and covered Atlantis, Lemuria, and almost all of Africa, while the caps of both hemispheres iced down to 40 degrees. Living room shrank to a few districts between the tropics. Races formed there in isolation: red, black, brown, yellow, and white, the white in south and central Europe at the edge of the killing ice, because only that blood and body could bear the cold. Finds in the valley he calls the Vezerestal come from that time. The girdle flood swung north and south every day. Phoebus then circled the earth three times a day. He reads Revelation 8:12, after Fischer, page 104 and following, as that sky. At 2 to 2.5 earth diameters the moon broke into rings: ice, hail, snow, and rain, then a mud rain of sand, iron, and clay that colored the sea blood red, then glowing rock up to the size of mountains, then hail again. He cites Revelation 8:12 and 6:12-17. The fall lasted three to five years, and the sun was darkened. That is the Edda’s five-year terrible winter, fim-bul-vetr, and three or five years of the sun’s silence. He quotes the Völuspa on a wind age and a wolf age before the world falls, and the Wafthrudirlied on Lis and Listhrasier hidden in Hodimir’s wood, living on morning dew, from whom a new race comes. Next to those lines he prints “The earth was waste and empty” as I Moses 21:2, and the spirit of God on the water as I Moses 1:12, which he translates as violent winds. Those verse numbers are his. A reader of Genesis will not find the waste earth at 21:2.

The last ring fell and there was light. The moon was gone. The tropical sea dropped by 2,000 meters (6561 feet). Water mountains 1,000 to 2,000 meters (6561 feet) high rolled north and south, covered plains and mountains except the highest peaks, and cut water marks 1,000 meters (3280 feet) up on the rock coasts of Greenland. Survivors saw a new heaven, and he derives heaven from Nordic himin, home, and a new earth. The flood saga of the Chibcha says there was a moonless time before the last flood, the one that put Atlantis under water again. He cites Fischer, Weltwende, page 81. The whole ancient world, he says, knew that our moon had not always stood in the sky.

Der Einsturz des Phöbus auf die Erde soll nach indischen Aufzeichnungen vor 800 000 Jahren gewesen sein, was mit astronomischen Berechnungen so ungefähr stimmen würde.

Hermann Wieland. Atlantis, Edda und Bibel (1925), p. 12

The sense is that Indian records put the fall of Phoebus 800,000 years ago, and that this roughly agrees with the astronomy he is using. After the water ran back, Lemuria and Atlantis stood up out of the sea. The earth’s axis stood almost straight. An eternal spring began. Genesis 1:11 and 1:21-25 are, for him, the new plants and the new animals. Very few people lived through it, more of the red race in America, very few of the white, and many sagas leave only one pair. He points to Genesis 1:26 and following. The same terror, he says, is already in the Prose Edda, now unlocked by John Gorsleben. Germanic memory reaches back over millions of years and is partly in the Bohuslän picture writings. For the astronomy he sends the reader to Valier, Leipzig, Voigtländer.

The moonless spring

Section 3, pages 14 and 15, is the happy age after that fall. A new heaven and a new earth, in his words, had literally been made. Glaciers a thousand meters and more thick, which had reached 40 degrees north and south, melted back to northernmost Norway and Spitsbergen. New plants and animals filled the earth. The climate was mild far north. Figs still grew in north Germany. People increased fast. The white race, which had lived for thousands of years in southern Europe at the ice edge, moved north because the cooler climate suited it. The colored peoples stayed in the hot countries and moved into the lands of Africa, Atlantis, and Lemuria that were now free of water. He calls it a golden time and a paradise time: land enough, no overpopulation, hunting, fishing, building where one liked, and a surplus of plants, animals, and fruit. The races spread without hindrance. Whites in Europe. Reds in America-Atlantis. Yellows in Asia. Blacks in Africa. Browns in Lemuria, and with Lemuria he names Australia, Polynesia, the Sunda islands, and Madagascar. The colored races in the tropics did not have to develop culture. The white northern race, his ancestors, did.

The white race leaves the north

Section 4, pages 15 to 17, is the migration, and the reason Atlantis fills up with Germans. Europe was smaller than now. After the girdle flood ran back, part of Russia stayed under water until the earth caught the present moon, and that water separated Europe from Asia. The northern race grew quickly, so pasture and field had to replace mere gathering. Early on, the inventive German had cattle, tillage, the plow, the wagon, the sled, and the ship, and laws for living together and for property. Assemblies on holy hills, built the same way everywhere, woke race feeling and religious life. The publisher adds that a separate essay on this will come. He quotes E. Beta, Die Erde und unsere Ahnen, Bermühler, Berlin: we must unlearn history. A footnote names Biedenkapp, Der Nordpol als Völkerheimat, Jena 1906; Tilak, 1903, on a north-polar home of the Aryans from Indian scripture; Penka, Der Herkunft der Arier and Origenes Ariacae, Teschen and Vienna, 1886 and 1883, and later papers; Wilser, Die Germanen, Leipzig 1903; Much, Die Heilnot der Indogermanen, Jena 1902; E. Krause, Thuis Koland, 1891; Guido v. List; and Prof. Dr. Stuhl, Nordlands Untergang, 1921.

The oldest documents are the Swedish rock pictures, 500 kilometers (310 miles) long, going back 800,000 years. Part of them appeared from the Folkwang press in Darmstadt as Schwedische Felsbilder, works of the original Germans. Astronomers dated them from the constellations drawn on them. The pictures show races, domestic animals, sleds, rowing ships, tropical animals and trees, and drawings of the Nile mouth, the Oder, and the Rhine. Franz v. Wendrin partly deciphered them. Germans made the inventions above and, hundreds of thousands of years ago, crossed every sea in large rowing ships, learned that the earth is a ball, and reached Egypt, Africa, Polynesia, Lemuria, and America-Atlantis. Emigration into the continent that lay between Europe and America was natural. Its climate was pleasant, and its fertility and its metal wealth, a result of the moon’s fall, were great. The name Atlantis is still carried by the Atlantic Ocean, the Atlas range, and Mexican cities, Aztlan. Here, he says, arose the prehistoric Germanic world culture of which the old sagas, the Edda, and the Bible speak. Here arose some of the history reports that reached the priestly libraries and were then used by the Jewish makers of the Bible. The following leaves will tell the Germanic culture and history of Atlantis as the old sagas, the Edda, the Bible, and the Bohuslän pictures give it.

The drowned continent

Section 5, pages 18 to 21, is his list of proofs, then the decision to tell the story in the words of Sais, the Edda, and the Bible. Schliemann’s digs in Asia Minor and Crete come first, then Frobenius in West Africa. Eduard Suess, after thorough study, concludes that the Atlantis described here existed, and that Greenland is a radial cut of Atlantis, of the table of the old red sandstone. He cites Suess, Das Antlitz der Erde, the volume he numbers 11, pages 281 and following and 370 and following, Leipzig 1888. Wegener shows that North America and Europe, and Africa and South America, once hung together and were drawn apart, leaving islands and fragments, among them sunk Atlantis. He cites Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane, Braunschweig 1920. The botanist Seeberger and Dr. Hausthal require a former Atlantic continent. Deep-sea work and cable laying give further hints. Animals and plants of the American east coast, far inland, resemble those of Europe and Africa more than those of America’s own west coast, and the oldest finds agree in the same way. He cites Fischer, Weltwende, page 135. Hörbiger and Fischer, he says, show Atlantis rising and vanishing more than once.

The historical report he trusts most is the Egyptian priests’ account, given to Solon at Sais in the Nile delta, and passed on by Solon’s pupil Plato. It agrees, he says, with sagas older than Plato, with Homer and especially the Odyssey and the Iliad, with old Egyptian and Indian tradition, with Maya, Inca, Toltec, Peruvian, and Araucanian records saved from missionaries, and with parts of the Edda and the Bible that had not been explained. Beta’s Die Erde und unsere Ahnen is named again. His own German finds of the sunk Aryan Atlantic culture will be a separate publication. The stones must speak if the books do not: from Bohuslän, 500 kilometers (310 miles) of rock pictures, first read by Wendrin. He names the Folkwang volume from Gothenburg to Strömstad, and L. Baltzer on the glyphs of Bohuslän. Astronomers take them back 800,000 years. They say Germans furrowed the oceans hundreds of thousands of years ago and planted colonies on the Nile, in Hither Asia, Africa, the South Sea, and Atlantis-America. A footnote bibliography runs through Scott-Elliot on Lemuria and on Atlantis from occult sources, Frobenius, Donnelly as Donelly, Otto Hauser, Otto Kiefer’s 1909 Jena book on Plato’s report, Zschaetzsch in 1920, Blavatsky as this copy prints Blavatzky, Suess, Wegener, Bailly, Aelian, the name he prints Broklus, Marcellus, Diodorus, Timagenes, Herodotus, Knötel in 1893 who wrongly puts Atlantis in West Africa and Morocco as Frobenius does, Olaf Rudbeck at Uppsala about 1690 who wrongly makes Sweden Atlantis, Hermann Müller in 1850 who looks in Britain, Ghillany in 1842, and others. Those older writers, he says, speak of many islands beyond the pillars of Hercules, and of a very large island Atlantis that long ruled the islands of the sea.

Atlantis after Phoebus reached as far as England and was easy to reach from Europe, the more so because England was still joined to France thousands of years ago. Writers who looked for Atlantis in the north are therefore not surprising. The Atlantis of Plato and of the Bible was the remnant of that risen continent, west of the pillars of Hercules. Wendrin, he says, assured him that the Bohuslän pictures leave no doubt about the book’s argument. Atlantis and its high prehistoric Germanic culture can now count as scientifically secure. He will describe them from the researches and the books just named, and on purpose in the reports of the priests at Sais, the Edda, and the Bible, so the reader sees that they describe Atlantis in agreement, and that the Bible often brings very old history reports, presumably copied from heathen priestly libraries. Read the Bible places he will cite as history of Atlantis, its capital, and the Asenburg, and the scales fall from the eyes, as with the apostle Paul. The teaching of Christ, he says, can only gain if it is freed from a thousand years of rubble. A new Aryan Germanic Christianity, already sketched among the Atlantic and northern Aryans, will come out of what he calls Jewish, Roman, and Atlantic heathenism.

The Idafeld

Section 6, pages 22 to 25, places the plain. The climate of Atlantis was happy, about like southern Italy and the Atlantic remnants, the Azores and the Canaries. After Plato, one great plain mattered most. Mountains ringed it, fruitful trees covered it, and it lay open to the east. He cites Genesis 2. A great stream from the mountains, splitting into four and carrying gold, watered it. Plato’s report calls the plain the Idafeld. The Bible’s related places call it, shortly, “earth.” Psalm 24 speaks of the earth on the many waters. Other places speak of the king of the earth. The fruits are figs, pisang, breadfruit, oranges, bananas, apples, and the vine. Snowy heads of the Ida mountains stand around it, and volcanoes light the night. Because it lay in the middle of the world they knew, the Atlanteans also called it Mitgard, a word of the Edda, and after their leaders, the Asen, Asgard, the garden of the Asen, the king’s garden.

Er ist der in I. Mose, Kap. 2, anschaulich und übereinstimmend mit altamerikanischen Berichten beschriebene Garten Eden, das Paradies der Bibel (Abb. 8).

Hermann Wieland. Atlantis, Edda und Bibel (1925), p. 22

The sense is that this plain is the garden of Eden in Genesis 2, the paradise of the Bible, and that the description agrees with old American reports. Wherever Germans went, they renamed mountains, rivers, and settlements after the northern home. He gives Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Neukölln, and Neuberlin as the modern habit, and then Troy in Germany, France, Poland, Greece, and India, a Kermanscha he reads as Germansheim in Persia, and an Idafeld and Ida range in Asia Minor and on Atlantis. Döllinger and Dr. Stuhl collect examples. It is possible, he says, that they called their finest settlements paradise, which he derives as Baradin, the farmers’ land of the Danes, after Wendrin, Die Entdeckung des Paradieses. The stem Bara is in the river name Barada at Damascus. By artful irrigation they turned great valleys into gardens: the Nile, the Euphrates, the Indus, the Barada. A survey map of the Nile delta is already on the Bohuslän rocks 50,000 years ago, as Wendrin told him. The correction slip also requires 50,000 years at page 24, line 4. There were several so-called paradises. On Ceylon, which he prints Teylon, they show the evergreen garden called Paradinyja, from which Adam and Eve were driven. The oldest may be the one in Germany, the emigrants’ first home, described by Wendrin. From there the paradise sign went out with the Germanic marches. He cites Wendrin, page 227.

The Germans brought the colored races, the human-like humans, not only culture but, as the Edda says, their language. The oldest culture language in the world is German. All languages borrowed from it. Nordic-sounding names in old settlement areas led to the mistaken idea of an Indogermanic race and language. The emigrants also carried their customs. On Atlantis one finds Asen kings, holy mountains, and old Germanic cult, later twisted, he says, by the lower race. The immigrant northern Aryans ate only the fruits of this giant garden. Killing animals was forbidden, so the animals came without fear. They did not stain themselves with animal blood, while the dark peoples lived like the beasts of the field. Famous Aryans of historical antiquity are again and again reported to have lived without meat, on fruit alone. He cites Robert Springer, Enkarpa, Hanover. Meat eating came in among the Aryans only with mixing and with the need the ice created. Atlantis was the island of the blessed in the writings of the ancients. The immigrants also called it Idafeld, from Ida, the original mother. The mountains, as the Troy saga shows, were the Ida mountains. Because the mythologies dwell on the Idafeld, where the first Aryan culture period was mainly played, the old songs were probably called, shortly, Idda, Edda, Veda. The name Ida is still in German place names.

The Aias

Section 7, pages 25 to 27, names the people. Whether the northern race entered the risen Atlantis at the very start of the moonless time, as Fischer thinks, still needs a closer test. Probably they stayed first in Europe, which in the moonless time had a climate of eternal spring as far as Denmark, with no marked summer and winter, and with sowing already in January, as in southern Italy. The whites moved north as the glaciers thawed and spread in Europe first. Only when the population thickened did they press to emigrate. The Bohuslän pictures say Germanic bands went to sea thousands of years ago. Indian sagas tell of whites who brought their forefathers culture. After old custom the emigrants had a leader. Probably two of the most famous were Wodan and Odin, because the names lasted even among the Indians. The Incas derive themselves from the gods, whom he equates with Goths, the whites, Votan and Odon. Both names match Wodan and Odin.

After old northern custom the Aias dedicated the new land to the All-father and therefore called it Attalantis, shortened Atlantis, the land of the father, from Atta, father and ancestor, and lantis, land. Atta means father in Bishop Ulfilas’s Gothic Bible translation, and it appears in Luther’s Bible as Abba. Dialect still has Ättig and Dada, and the place names Attel, Aktelsdorf, Attenfeld, Attenhausen, Attenhofen, and Attenkirchen. Atlantis is to be recognized in the Atlas range and in the Mexican city names Atlan and Astlan. The Aztecs in Mexico claimed to come from a land Atlan, far in the east in the sea, so from Atlantis. The immigrants bore the name Aia, Aria, Arias, against the lower races and the human animals. The land was also called Aialand. The Aias who wandered south over Siberia are remembered in Asia, which he reads as Asenland, in the Syr Darya, and in Himalaya, heaven of the Aryans. Aia is also in the Edda. The first human pair there were called Ai and Edda. Homer lets Odysseus reach Eia or Aia, the island of the sorceress Circe in the far west. The island Eia or Aiyaia and its entrance to the underworld, Hel, were to lie in the farthest west, where the sun sets and the underworld meets the earth most closely, that is where the volcanoes were. Homer can only have meant Atlantis.

What came from the Aias, and what was proper to them, was called ailig, holy. As God had made them in his image, so godlike and good, hence the name Gute, Goth, everything high was holy to them: family, freedom, law, fire, water, the cow, and their worship places ringed with one to three walls. Place names still say so: Heiligenstadt, Heiligenberg, Heilsbronn, and Heilbronn, the holy spring. They also called themselves the holy ones, and the same word in Revelation refers to that. The godhead was so holy that it was strictly forbidden to make any image or likeness. “Holy, holy is God the Lord, all lands are full of his honor” sounded from the mouths of the singers on Atlantis and on his holy mountain of God already 12,000 years ago. Old Indian records, which he postpones to section 31, likewise call the Atlantic Aryans the holy ones, as the Bible does, and their rulers kings of the light. He cites Blavatsky, Geheimlehre II, 428. Their land is the white island, the island lived in by whites. German places still carry the Ayas: Aystetten, Aiting.

Cultivating the Idafeld

Section 8, pages 27 to 29, is the canals, the four rivers, and the refusal of a Mesopotamian Eden. The Aias increased after the All-father’s words, be fruitful, fill the earth, and subdue it. Wild trees no longer fed them. They took the plow and bred useful plants, some of which became known to Europeans from Central America after the discovery of America. After Prof. Braungart’s studies of the first home of agriculture, the Aryans were already growing grain in the Tertiary. The main stream, and the waters running from the mountains on every side, were caught in a giant canal that ran around the plain and separated the Asen land from the giants, the lower race, and the animal-men living in the mountains. He points to Blavatsky and to Lanz-Liebenfels for giants in prehistory, and to Beta. Four main canals led the water over the whole plain. Those are the four streams which, after the Bible, flowed through Eden and watered it. Odin’s counselor in the Edda names the ring river Ising, which bounds the god-land against the giant people, runs open forever, and sets no ice. He says the Edda places are mostly from Genzmer’s edition. The Edda also knows the Bible’s four streams and calls them the four milk streams from the udder of the cow Audhumbla. Because of the watering there were two harvests on the Idafeld, one from rain and one from irrigation. The artificial water was as precious as if milk flowed in the streams. The Bible’s phrase, a land flowing with milk and honey, is to be applied to Mitgard-Atlantis. Aryan emigrants who founded colonies in the Nile, Mississippi, and Euphrates valleys built watering works on the Atlantic pattern. The Edda line that the Asen made the earth out of a brain-pan refers to this planned cultivation.

Greek saga knows wonderful gardens of the gods with golden apples, which he glosses as oranges, on an island in the ocean west of Europe, where the ambrosial springs of Zeus flow, the Urd well, the well of life, and the earth gives the finest gifts of the gods. He cites Petiscus, Der Olymp. The myth of the gardens of the Hesperides is a description of the fruit gardens on the Atlantic Idafeld, Eden. After the Indian Vedas, Eden lies on an island, surely Atlantis. The Jewish author of the biblical report moves it to Mesopotamia, so that the falsification, a straight descent of the Jews from the paradisal Asen land and from the Aias, would be easier to believe. The falsification, he says, is immediately visible: the Mesopotamian lowland has neither four streams, nor a stream that could flow around the whole land of Eden, nor gold and precious stones. He cites Genesis 2. Atlantis, being volcanic, was very rich in gold, silver, ores, and gems. Genesis 2 says so, and so does the tradition of old peoples who stood in relation to Atlantis. Part of the metal is the metal core of Phoebus, which after Fischer fell mainly in these latitudes. Neighboring Central America has always been so rich in noble metals that the same may be inferred for Atlantis. That wealth is a chief reason the prehistoric civilization of section 11 and following could arise.

The twelve Asen

Section 9, pages 29 to 32, is the constitution, and the equation with the twelve tribes. As in the north and among the Germans of the Baltic lands, the Aias divided Atlantis into districts, first nine, then ten when the border widened. The Edda, in the passage he calls Völstaga, knows nine worlds and nine branches on the strong trunk, the Asen trunk, in the dust of the earth. The shorter seeress’s speech has nine giant daughters, districts and lands, borne at the edge of the earth, and earth here means the Idafeld. Another strophe of the seeress’s vision speaks of nine homes and world realms. The best of the noble families were chosen as heads and judges. The office later became hereditary. They were called Asen. Ase was the title of the Atlantic Aryan princes. Old Mexican, he says, has Itzae or Itze, Chinese Itschi or Itzi. At the conquest of Mexico the princes’ title was Kaziken, which he thinks may come from Aziken, Asen. Conquerors found many caciques of the subject peoples light-colored, sometimes hardly distinguishable from Europeans. In them he sees remains of the Atlantic Aias. With Kaziken he would connect Aztec, Caesar, and Kaiser. The Asen later worshipped as gods were called Ized among the Parsis. The biblical word Isai is a copy of Ized, Itza, Ase. The prophecy that a branch from the root of Isai will bear fruit refers to the rising again of the Asen son Baldur, the Logos of the Greeks. He cites Isaiah 11:1-12. Jesaia, as section 32 will show, means nothing but “Ase of the Aias.” The Germanic burg Aseiburg in Hesse still remembers the Asei or Asen.

Growth of power required two further Asen. One had the war fleet, 1,200 ships, triremes. He cites Kiefer, Jena, 1909. The other, Heimdall, had the land force, which alone held 10,000 war chariots. The Asen were then twelve. After Plato they wore dark blue garments of the highest beauty. After the Edda, the Ase Odin wore a blue mantle. Blue was the body color of the Aryan princes and became the holy color. Blue-white and gold is the soul color of the northern race. Red is the favorite color of the lower race. He cites Dr. Harpf, Jena 1910. Among the east Germans the king and the high priest held court every Monday, which was also a holiday, in the holy grove, in the blue garment. “Blue Monday” is the memory. One prince was the supreme king. The others were about ministers and governors. Psalms 24, 92, 96, 97, 99, and 103, and a long list of Isaiah chapters, are to be read as hymns to the Atlantic Asen, or as their own proclamations. At services and high feasts the princes appeared on a white horse, in flowing white garments and golden belts. As the sign of divine descent they wore the sign of God on the forehead, the golden circlet or the golden band with the cross, which at last became the badge of all divine families. He cites Ezekiel 9:4 and Revelation 19:11. Crown and circlet of German princes are memories. Priestly dress of the Jewish priests is postponed to section 30.

Some Atlantic Asen were remembered for thousands of years among all Aryan peoples: above all Wodan, Odin, Widar, Baldur, Frigga, and Freia. The Germanic honoring of high fathers and heroes was thankful memory, not, he will say, divine worship at the start. Settlements, rivers, mountains, and hills were named after them. Pictures of the Asen Wodan and Thor, tens of thousands of years old, are among the Bohuslän rocks. One of the most famous Asen, later gods, is Poseidon, much named in Greek history. On the oldest pictures he is not the simple sea god with the trident but a ruler on a war chariot. That points to the king of a seafaring family and of a rich high culture. Poseidon is probably the king of the sea land of whom Jeremiah speaks, and the king of the islands beyond the sea. Names with Wodan, in the forms Wal, Wul, and Wil, with Thor as Tyr, and with Baldur as Bal, Bel, and Pol, are found in Germany by the thousands. They arose while the memory of those Atlantic Asen was still lively, perhaps in their lifetimes.

Signs in the sky

Section 10, pages 32 to 36, is the zodiac, the swastika, the colors, and the land law. Astronomers still name new stars after famous men. The custom is ancient. Tens of thousands of years ago the constellations of the ecliptic were named after famous Asen, or after their badge, the totem. The signs can still be partly traced in the zodiac. The Atlantic war Ase had the sign of the Waterman. Wodan’s badge and constellation is the Great Bear. The Milky Way is Wodan’s street. Wednesday, English Wednesday, which he derives as Wodan’s day, is his. A constellation is named for the Ase Orion, Arion, king of the Aryans. Virgo is named for the mother of God and queen of heaven, the virgin Maja, also Mylitta, Isis, and Freya. The sun is the sign for Theos, Zeus, Zius, Tius, which he glosses Deutsch. In Pollux the Ase Apollyon is hinted. He cites Revelation 12:14 for that name. Colored peoples of Atlantis-America took over tribal signs as mixing increased. Cortes, whom he prints Kortez, found eagle, lion, and cross on the march to Mexico, signs Germanic peoples still carry. In the war stories of the red men the tribal signs are eagle, bear, snake, dragon, and black hand. Because the mixed peoples put their signs into the zodiac, the original Germanic names are hard to see. Beta, pages 258 and following, works this out.

Whole peoples had signs too. In the Bible he finds the sign of God and of the beast, the lamb, the seal of God on the foreheads, the dragon, the old snake, the mark of the beast on forehead or hand, worship of the image of the beast, and the white horse. Revelation contains old history of Atlantis and of Germanic Asen, thrown together, often falsified, and moved from the past into the future. The sign of God, the lord of all lords, the Atlantic high king, was the old Germanic swastika. It is on the statues of the Egyptian god Osiris, on the old royal statues of Easter Island, on the Buddha statue, and it was written on the forehead or worn on a headband, to be distinct from the lower race, the great beast of Revelation. He cites Ezekiel 9:4 and 6, and R. Ph. Oreg, On the Meaning and Origin of the Fylfot and Swastika, Westminster 1884. The custom of crossing oneself still remembers it. On the Aryan sign of God he cites Schliemann, Troja, pages 133 to 137, Ilios, pages 389 to 397, and Tiryns, pages 110 to 112, all Brockhaus, Leipzig. The badges of the great beast, after the Bible and the old star maps, were snake, dragon, and wolf, tattooed on the hand. He cites Beta again.

The lamb was also a Germanic badge, the sign of good nature and innocence. It still fits the Germans. The sheep and lambs of the house of Israel mean Germans, and he equates Kelien, Thelden, and Helden. Jesus wants to bring the lost sheep of Israel together again, that is into one realm. The name Israel is an original Germanic name for Germanic tribes, already in Palestine, the Palestine range, long before the Jews, brought there by emigrated Germanic tribes. The Hebrews appropriated it so as to count as the higher race, the holy ones of God, and the bearers of the promise. The twelve families of Israel were twelve Germanic tribes, not Hebrews. Dress distinguished them too. The holy ones of God wore white, against the followers of the great beast. White is innocence, justice, and purity. Red is the color of the lower race. The German still prefers the light colors of the sky, white, blue, and gold. He cites Harpf again. White, black, and red are still political colors. The cross and the swastika, the sun wheel, are the sign of the lambs, the Germans. The Hebrew soviet star is the sign of the lower race. In 1914, he writes, the snake, Satan, was let loose, seduced the heathen at all ends of the earth, and led them to a war of annihilation against the cross and the lamb, that is against Germandom, and especially against the Germans, and not for the first time. Whoever fights the swastika fights, on this page, for the lower race and against Germandom.

The Germans honored their heroes in religious feasts and liked to look at their signs in the stars, which had already been guides to the Vikings hundreds of thousands of years ago. There was no divine worship of them. Germanic worship was only thoughtful nature feasts and memorial feasts. The lower race, to whom the Asen seemed higher beings, worshipped them, and out of that grew the star service and idol service of the great beasts and the mixed peoples. The Asen appeared in public in white clothing and on a white horse. The white horse counted as noble and was used until 1,000 years ago at sacrifice and divination. German queens still traveled on white horses a few centuries ago. The white horse was also a tribal sign. The look of the Asen is described several times in Revelation and Ezekiel, as he cites them. The hair of the pure Aryans was white-blond, the skin snow-white, the eyes like flames of fire to the lower race, the voice like thunder and a great rushing of water. For the anthropologist, he says, the Aryan origin of the Asen is beyond doubt. Revelation 12:1 describes an Asen queen. The moon at her feet points to a pictured Freya, who is Maria, as Charlemagne found her in the Freya temple at Magdeburg. Her crown was of 12 stars.

The twelve Asen provided an excellent state law and a sound land order. The soil was only a place to live and work, consecrated to the deity, so state property. He cites Psalm 24, and says Psalm 24:2 confirms that this earth, the Idafeld, lay on the sea and on the waters. Remains of the old Atlantic Aryan land law are still in the passage he prints as Moses 3:23. When the Spanish and the Portuguese conquered Central America, the ideal Atlantic Aryan land right still ruled there in part. After Plato the principles were cut on a pillar of brass in the temple of Poseidon on the Walhalla burg. The Edda mentions laws on golden tablets, found again in the grass, which had been theirs in the ancient days. He quotes that strophe from the seeress’s vision. Under those laws the Aryan state on Atlantis flowered as no state before or after. Each could live happy under his fig tree. The old traditions speak of an island of the blessed. He points to Psalms 104 and 107.

The holy city in the sea

Section 11, pages 36 to 40, builds the city on the plain. After settling the Idafeld the Aias kept an old Aryan custom and built a place of honor for the eternal, unnameable godhead, a holy height, a holy mountain of God, of the kind Döllinger’s Baldur und Bibel draws, and of which thousands still stand in Germanic countries. A small hill in the middle of the Idafeld, 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) from the sea, suited the work. It was given the wall rings used in the north, showing the sun circles and the ecliptic. As the settlement came to command hundreds of thousands of slaves, and as the Aias grew rich, the holy mountain of God became, over centuries, a building of a size, splendor, and strangeness found nowhere else. After Plato, several larger and smaller rings were made around the little hill, two of earth and three of water. The widest ring canal was 1,800 feet (548 meters) wide, and the following earth wall the same. The next ring canal was 1,200 feet (365 meters), and the earth belt the same. The innermost canal, around the island itself, was 600 feet (182 meters), and the island so made was 3,000 feet (914 meters) across. Island and earth belts had great stone walls covered with ore plates, a sort of fiery shining bronze. The hill itself was ringed with seven terraces, after the number of the original Asen and districts. On the flattened summit stood the royal burg, shining with gold, silver, gems, and bronze, the Walhalla of the Edda. The name Walhalla is still in Wallheim, Wallburg, Wallberg, Walkirch, Kirkwall, Wallerstein, and others. They also called it the heaven hill, the hill of home, from himin, home. In the Edda it is the heaven burg. The name is in Himmelstatt, Himmelsstall, and Himmelsberg, and in Himalaya, heaven of the Aia. This heaven hill or Walhall is the Olympus of the Greeks and the creation hill Meru of the Babylonians.

The burg of the Asen, the Asenburg, recalls the acropolis of Athens, except that the ring walls and ring canals are missing there, and it recalls the holy Grail burg with three ring walls shining with gold. The broad canals were used for a strange trading city. Huge storehouses stood on the harbor walls, and goods from every country piled up. The ship canals held a giant merchant fleet and war fleet. A canal 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) long, 300 feet (91 meters) wide, and 100 feet (30.48 meters) deep joined the sea to the canal rings. High bridges, under which the highest warships could pass, crossed the cuts. One bridge, 100 feet (30.48 meters) wide, built of white, black, and red stones, joined the city to the royal burg across the canals. He cites Kiefer, 1909. The Edda calls this bridge Bifrost. It has three colors, is very strong, and is built with more art than other works. Red and white stones, and black lava blocks, are still found on the Azores, the remains of Atlantis, and are still used for building.

Plato does not mention the city’s name. Probably, to judge from the Bible, and he points to Revelation 17 to 19, it was called Babylon, which he reads as Papylon, burg of the All-father, from Papas or Papi, father, and lon, burg. After Mexican traditions the world city on Atlantis was called Thula, that is Talheim, home in the valley, dialect Tul or Tol, valley. Probably the city Thula in Mexico was a daughter city named after it. Jordanes, in his history of the Goths, mentions an island in the far west, at the end of the world, Thyle. The Thula of the Mexicans and the Thule of the Edda are presumably the giant city on Atlantis. Babylon on the Euphrates was without doubt a daughter city of the trading metropolis on Atlantis. Since the Aias called their continent Atlantis, father land, it was natural to give the capital a like name, Babylon, burg of the father. The northern name Jerusalem, by which that Babylon on Atlantis was falsely called, seems to be of newer origin altogether. He derives Jerusalem as Baldur’s luck-home, from Jeru, Baldur, sal, luck, and em or hem, home. Until the conquest of the capital of the Germanic Jebusites, that city was called Zion, burg of Zius, Tius. At Melchizedek and Abraham a Salem is also mentioned, home of luck, again a new north-Germanic formation. He derives Uppsala as the high home of luck, from up, sälde, and a, home. The expression Jerusalem comes up only after David and is a false designation for the city on Atlantis. The name Babylon is an ancient Aryan expression. It is in the German place names Bamburg, Bamberg, Babenhausen, Babelsberg, Popenhaufen, Popenlauer, and Pappenheim. The element lon, shortened on, is in Arlon, burg of the Aryans, Ajalon, burg of the Aias, and Ailun.

The Urd spring

Section 12, pages 40 to 43, is the well at the foot of the heaven hill, and the customs he derives from it. There were two springs, one warm and one cold. Their water counted as very healing and holy. The biblical report on Atlantis calls the spring from the holy mountain of God the well of life and the well of living water. He cites Isaiah 47, Revelation 7:17, 21:6, 22:1, 22:18, and 47:1-12, and Isaiah 12:3 for the well of healing, and Psalms 46:5, 65:10, and 68:27. The Edda calls it the Urd well, also Mimir’s spring, and he quotes the line in which Odin knows all because his eye stayed in Mimir’s well-known spring. The water was holy. One consecrated oneself with it. Sprinkling with holy water therefore goes back to the Atlantic first time. German place names remember it: Weihbrunn, Heilsbronn, Heilbrunn, and Heilbronn. Special wells were later dedicated to the Asen in memory of the holy Urd spring, where the sick of the whole world sought healing, rescue, rejuvenation, and new life, hence well of life and fountain of youth. Asbrunn and Osabrunn are the Ase’s well, Dorsbrunnen Thor’s, Wolsbrunn the well of Wol, Wodan. At the holy Odilienberg in Alsace, likewise a mountain of God and an old Germanic cult place, pilgrims still wash their eyes. He cites Rühsel, Die 3 Nornen, Dresden 1920. The Iliad also mentions two springs, one cold as hail or winter snow, the other warm, its rising steam like the smoke of a burning fire.

Because the Urd spring was held to heal and rejuvenate, newborn children were washed in it. From that, baptism developed on Atlantis, a custom then spread among all Aryans. It was to mean that the impurities of body and soul acquired by race mixing were washed off. Germanic antiquity kept the custom until Christianity. The Edda mentions it in the Rigsmal: the child was wetted and named. In the Atlantic colonies Peru and Egypt, water baptism was in use. Of the Inca Rokka it is reported that he had the water for his son’s baptism fetched from the holy lake Titiraca, as this copy prints the name. The Christian church took over the Aryan Atlantic custom. Saga sometimes lets the Urd well become the child-well. From the old holy spring at Strasbourg minster, the Kindlbrunnen, children come, after popular belief. In the German heroic saga of Wolf Dieterich, a queen of a far land, Troya, Atlantis, leads him. She has herself baptized in the Urd well, loses her rough skin, and rises with the name Siegemine as the most beautiful woman. He reads that as the loss of a lower-race look acquired by mixing, and the rise of a pure Aryan woman. The name Siegemine, victory of love, says the change can happen only by selective breeding. The Edda calls the Urd spring a holy water.

The warm Urd spring must be pictured like a geyser in Iceland, always throwing steam. Mineral salts and radioactive substances in the water saved many sick people and led to hospitals and bath houses. The steam kept the trees green. The water fertilized the Asen garden, Asgard. He cites Ezekiel 47 and Revelation 22. The Egyptian priests tell Solon, and he cites Kiefer, that the Atlanteans used both springs, the warm and the cold, built around them, planted trees, and set bath rooms, some open, some covered for winter, the royal ones separate from the people’s. The outflow went partly into the grove of Poseidon, an Ase, so into Asgard, where trees of every kind grew especially tall and beautiful, and partly through canals over the bridge Bifröst into the outer ring walls. A temple surely stood beside the spring, so that it flowed from the threshold. Ezekiel 47:1-12, which he calls an alleged prophecy, is a travel report of a Chaldean initiate and a description of an Atlantic sight. The trees that bore fruit every month are fig trees, which in a fit climate and with good water carry green fruit, ripe fruit, and blossom at once. Indian saga therefore sets a fig tree, as the tree of life, at the Urd spring. Swans rocked on the water, the swans of the Edda and of the Lohengrin saga. A beautiful Asen daughter was abducted at the Urd spring by a mixed man, the high priest Loki. The knight who saves Elsa of Brabant is an Ase. The Lohengrin saga and the Greek rape of Helen are both, probably, retellings of that abduction and of the rescue by an Ase. Hot springs are still found on the Azores.

Yggdrasil

Section 13, pages 43 to 48, is the world ash over the spring, the cross, and the bird. Yggdrasil stood over the Urd spring and stayed evergreen from the steam. He quotes the Edda fragment: an ash he knows, called Yggdrasil, the high one, wrapped in bright mist, from which the dew comes that falls in the valleys, evergreen at the Urd well. And: the ash Yggdrasil is the first of trees. The Bible calls it the tree of life and the wood of life. He cites Revelation 22 and Genesis 2:9. After Zschaetzsch, Die Herkunft und Geschichte des arischen Stammes, Berlin 1920, Yggdrasil means tree of life or of the soul, from Ygg, Egge, oak, and Sil, soul. The Christmas tree hung with fruits, the church-ale tree, and the May tree are memories. Originally the tree was raised on holy mountains. The Yggdrasil of the Aias at the Urd well was a thoughtful memory of the polar home. There one saw the stars circle the resting pole and the earth’s axis, and compared that with a tree whose trunk was the axis and whose golden leaves were the stars. He cites Biedenkapp and v. s. Reuther, Das Rätsel der Edda, Sontra 1921.

His own reading of the picture is this. The world ash with the eagle at the top is the Germanic world realm, the eagle its badge. The snake gnawing the root is the lower race, and especially the Hebrews. Mixing bastardizes Germandom. The roots are gnawed, the tree dries, and it falls. He points ahead to section 34. Under Yggdrasil at the Urd spring the Asen held their courts, an old Aryan custom kept among the Germans until Christianization. In the Rhön, holy court places remain at Wildflecken and Schönderling, and community assemblies, things, are still held on them.

Odin hung on the tree nine days, wounded. He quotes Odin’s rune song: he knows that he hung on the windy tree nine long nights, wounded with a spear, consecrated to Odin, himself to himself, on the branch of the tree whose root one cannot see, and they offered him neither bread nor mead. The Ase Odin was badly wounded defending the Asenburg and was hanged on Yggdrasil. In pre-Christian America the life tree was shown as a cross. The Christian conquerors of Mexico found, to their surprise, a cross before the altar in several heathen temples at Palenque in Yucatan. He cites the book he here prints as Tronau, Amerika, volume I, page 70 and following, Leipzig 1896. It is the memory of the Aryan prince Odin, who left his life on the tree for his people when the lower race stormed the Aryan rule on Atlantis. Bastian reports that among the circumcised of the island Ulloa, Grijalva found worship of a cross on which one more shining than the sun had died. He cites Bastian, Die Kulturländer des alten Amerika, II, page 375. The temple at Memphis also kept a standing cross, the tree of life, at the altar. So the Aryan cross of prehistory is explained. The chief gods of old Egypt carried a cross, the symbol of life and fertility, and so did the gods of the Chaldeans, Phoenicians, Mexicans, and Peruvians, indeed of every culture people of whom old history reports. He cites Göll. The ankh stood in temples and tombs of old Egypt and in great number in the fallen cities of Mexico and Central America. It was on the breast of many bronze images from the grave field of Juigalpa in Nicaragua, probably of Atlantic time. On its meaning as a paradise sign he points back to sections 6 and 8. The high priest at Memphis wore a golden cross on a golden chain, like Catholic bishops. Far back before Christ one wore crosses as amulets and raised, on graves, tree posts, the Asherah of the Bible, standing for Yggdrasil, or stones with the cross. An old temple in Tibet has a swastika cut in it. Schliemann found terracotta crosses in the oldest, Atlantic, culture layer at Mycenae. He cites Blavatsky, volume II, and points to section 34 and to Wilser on the swastika.

That the cross in the temple of the cross at Palenque is Yggdrasil and the hanging Odin is strengthened, he says, by the bird. Saga put an eagle or a hawk on Yggdrasil. The Palenque cross also carried a bird. Zeus was shown with a long staff and an eagle at the top, a copy of Yggdrasil. The same staff returns in the Roman legionary eagles, in the scepters of Aryan kings, in the staffs of Egyptian gods, and in bishops’ staffs. The Incas’ scepters have condors on top. The eagle is in the arms of the German realm, the cross in the arms of Switzerland. The Germanic sign was the lamb. The badge of their oldest ancestor was the sun. The badge of one of their mightiest kings was the old Germanic cross in its several forms, and the cross became the sign of their rule wherever Germans planted their flags. Old Mexican culture peoples kept the custom like German noble families. Cortes found the army signs of the Tlaxcalans, whom he prints Tlaskalaner, provided with badge animals, eagles and so on, just as in the Middle Ages. The banner of Tlaxcala was a golden eagle with wings spread wide. Other field signs of those heathen, who had never met Christianity, even had a cross in the arms.

The heaven-hill

Section 14 is short, still on page 48, and it explains the biblical phrase of a third heaven and a seventh. Over the Urd spring and Yggdrasil the heaven hill rose in nine ring-shaped terraces with stairs. Each terrace was dedicated to one of the nine original Asen. Each terrace bore the name heaven. Hence the Bible’s expression, into the third and the seventh heaven. Foreign visitors climbed and described the splendors of the mighty Babylon on the great waters and in the midst of the sea, and of its holy mountain in the midst of the city. The heaven hill was small against the giant mountains in the distance. He cites Psalm 68:17. It was also called the Asen hill. Germany still has Asberg, Hohenasberg, and Asenkopf. A burg of the Hessian Chatti was called Asci-burgi, Asenburg. Old Indian reports of the white island Atlantis, sunk 11,500 years ago, call its holy mountain Asburj, Asenburg. He cites Blavatsky, Geheimlehre II, 425 and following, and a footnote here names Gronau, Amerika, volume I, page 404, for the same matter. The America book is Tronau on one page and Gronau on others. I keep both as this copy prints them.

The Asenburg

Section 15, pages 48 to 56, is the temple on the summit, the empty throne, and the cult he says Jerusalem copied. The summit of the holy mountain of God in the midst of the sea carried the fortified burg of the Asen. Its walls were very high and covered with ore plates and shields of fiery shining bronze. Sagas, traditions, and writings of the whole world dealt with it. He cites Ezekiel 27. In the middle stood the palace Walhalla of the highest Ase and a splendid temple dedicated to the All-father. After Plato this temple was 600 feet (182 meters) long, 300 feet (91 meters) wide, and correspondingly high, of a peculiar build. The outer sides were coated with silver, the pinnacles with gold. Inside, the ceiling was of ivory. There God himself stood on his chariot, driving six winged horses, so large that his head touched the ceiling. Around stood a hundred Nereids and dolphins. For the twelve Asen there were twelve chairs, and in their midst the chair of the only, unnameable God, the All-father. That chair, sparkling with gold, silver, and gems, is described in the Revelation and Isaiah places he lists. After Revelation 4, twenty-four elders in the known white Asen clothes, with crowns, sat around the throne of God, which shone like a rainbow and like emerald. The throne rested on four beasts full of eyes, gems, before and behind. The first was like a lion, the second like a calf, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was a flying eagle, and each had six wings. Copies were in the Atlantic daughter city Babylon on the Euphrates. He cites Isaiah 6:1-2. A picture of the throne and its bearers survived on an old Babylonian seal cylinder. The beasts are clan badges, not a marvel. The lion was the symbol of the Egyptian god Ra, so originally, once gods replaced Asen, the arms of the Ase Odin, now the arms of England. The holy bull was the badge of the Aryans, because the bull made tillage possible. Bulls and lions with a human face were to show the king’s strength. He cites Beta. The eagle is the eagle of Yggdrasil. A later Egyptian god is shown with a sparrow-hawk head.

The high seat of the All-father in his sanctuary on his holy mountain was originally empty. After old Aryan custom and law one made neither an image nor a likeness. He was the unnameable. The old Aryan ban on image service was the model of the first of the so-called ten commandments, so it was in force tens of thousands of years before Moses. Psalm 11 also speaks of the throne of God in heaven on Atlantis. The north Aryans, the Germans, also set the All-father empty high seats on their hills, as stone pillars or artificial mounds. The truncated cones on the Hesselberg near Wassertrüdingen in Bavaria are not barrier forts, as was once claimed, but Asen thrones. So are the Brunhild chair in the Palatinate, the three artificial hills on the temple hill of Selzertown, and certain stone pillars in the temple of Stonehenge, which he prints Stoneheng. He cites Gronau and Willy Pastor, Altgermanische Monumentalkunst, Berlin 1907. Behind the chair of the highest stood seraphim, each with six wings.

The saga of Hephaestus says he supplied the Asen with masterly smith work and mechanical devices, automata, partly golden serving women moving on wheels. He cites Petiscus. After Ezekiel 1 and 10 the cherubim had wheels and could be steered by an automaton work besides their wings. They were shaped like the beasts under heaven: cherub, man, lion, and eagle. When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them, and when they rose from the earth the wheels went with them. He asks whether the Hephaestus saga is not a historical memory of Atlantis, like Ezekiel’s, the likenesses being too striking. Ezekiel 1 and 3:13 also describe the temple interior on Asgard and the four cherub automata. It is remarkable, he says, that such descriptions are given out as God’s holy word and as revelations.

After Revelation 5, seven torches burned before the throne. After Ezekiel a seven-branched candlestick stood there, as in the temple at Jerusalem. The seven lights are a memory of the seven stars, that is of the children of the first human pair. The Atlantic custom of the seven-branched candlestick was taken over by the Jewish priestly hierarchy at Jerusalem, like much else, after they had read in Babel the old reports of the splendid temple on Atlantis. Before the throne was also a sea of glass mingled with fire, that is a basin of bronze, crystal, and glass, the bronze sea of the Jewish temple, filled with the consecrated water of the Urd spring, for baptism and for taking at services. The Spanish conquerors of Mexico and their priests saw, to their astonishment, Aztec priests dip the holy-water whisk into a basin and sprinkle the faithful, just as in the Catholic church. The Inca colony kept the use faithfully.

At sacrifices, golden bowls were used. He cites the Johannine places as printed. The Egyptian priests tell Solon that before their councils in the temple the Asen sacrificed with golden drinking bowls, drank from them, and then gave them to the temple. Germans in Germany used golden bowls at sacrifice too. He cites Kossinna, Die deutsche Vorgeschichte, and Altgermanische Kulturhöhe, Jena 1918. Golden bowls were in the gold treasure of Eberswalde. German sagas tell of golden bowls buried in abandoned old temple hills, and of little golden dishes at the end of the rainbow. The Grail saga makes the gold bowl a crystal bowl. Laws decided in the temple were published by heralds. Revelation 14:8 calls these angels, and he derives Engel from Angelois, Angles, Germans.

Priests and kings were forbidden to drink wine. They were to keep their family pure Aryan, and therefore to marry no widow and no divorced woman, but only virgins of the Asen family. He cites Ezekiel 44:21 and 23. Priests and kings were also to teach the people race difference and race care, so that the Aryans would know how to hold the difference between holy and unholy and between clean and unclean, that is between Aryans and the lower race. The most important of all Aryan laws, on race breeding, was discovered by the Jewish priests and scribes in the Babylonian exile and, after the return to Palestine, applied without mercy. Following the Aryan race laws, he writes, has brought the Jewish people enormous profit down to the present and made it the economic ruler of the whole world. After Plato the Asen met at set times for a state court. Revelation 4 is a hint of that. Only Aryans might enter the sanctuary Asgard and the All-father’s temple. If a lower-race person, called unclean and unholy in the Bible, who did not wear the sign of God, the golden circlet and the cross on the forehead, entered the temple, it counted as desecrated. He cites Ezekiel 47:7-9. From the biographer of the bishop of Bamberg we know that among the north Germans too, strangers were forbidden the sanctuaries on pain of death.

When the Asen came to the lower peoples they seemed superhuman, gods. So it may have gone with the writer of the Atlantis history in Revelation, when he saw the highest of the Asen in the temple of Poseidon in Thule or in Walhall. He lists the chapters. The natives of America took the Spanish conquerors for gods. After Revelation 14:14 the Ase, or a later copy of the Ase, on the throne of God had a golden crown and a sickle. The Greeks showed the god and former Ase Kronos with a sickle. Again, he says, Revelation is only a history report of antiquity, and the reports of the old culture peoples agree.

The sun disk in the temple, after Plato, was only a symbol of the godhead, not an object of worship. When Plato writes that God himself stood on his chariot driving winged horses, that holds only for the sun disk on the sun chariot drawn by winged sun horses. Golden sun pillars with the image of the sun were set up in honor of the godhead. The same Atlantic custom, sun chariots, sun horses, and sun pillars, is found in Germanic temples in Germany that were reconsecrated as Christian churches. The biographer of Bishop Otto of Bamberg writes that, while Christianizing Pomerania, Otto several times found sun disks in temples, so in the temples of Usedom and Vineta. The sun still plays a part in Christian cult. Pictures of Christ and Mary are ringed with the sun’s rays, and candles point to the former light and sun cult. In the first Christian church the sun and light cult still played a very large part. He points to sections 29 and 30. Because the psalms keep naming the holy mountain of God and the holy city, the guess lies close that the holy city on Atlantis is meant, and that some psalms come from the time of Atlantis and were sung there in the temple. He names Psalms 87 and 46.

Incense was used at the Atlantic services. He cites Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Revelation. The same custom is in Greek and Roman temples and, to judge from digs in Württemberg, on the Aryan Germanic people’s churches in Germany. The scent was to remind man of the high and the beautiful. Perhaps burning incense was a thank offering for fire, the gift that let the Aryans of the north outlive the ice age and made their culture possible. The Roman church took over the custom. Fire was also a symbol of the eternal godhead. Keepers of the eternal fire were the angels, temple priestesses, called Vestals among the Romans. Germans too kept the holy fire on the holy height. Place names Fyrnsberg, Pyras, and Fyrstein point to it. The holy fire is the eternal light of the Catholic church. As instruments they had harps, trumpets, pipes, and drums, as among the Germans in the high north.

Walhalla

Section 16, pages 56 and 57, is the hall on the heaven hill. The name Walhalla means, probably, the hall in which princes and kings were each time chosen. At the feasts the Asen sat on their high seats. Several palaces for the Asen stood on the heaven hill. After the Edda they were wholly of gold and precious stones. He cites Revelation 21:10-21. The gratings were golden knights’ spears. On the ceilings hung the mightily shining shields of the heroes in Walhall, so that one needed no light, not even the sun and the moon, which Revelation 21:11 and 23 also mentions. These dwellings were ringed with evergreen lovely groves, where the gods walked after the meal and after the fights. Glaadsheim was the greatest palace. In it each of the twelve gods had a seat of honor, and above all rose the thirteenth for Odin. This palace was the greatest and best building in the world, outside and inside of pure gold. The other palaces were likewise built of red gold, the roof of silver. In the Völuspá he quotes: a hall I saw, lighter than the sun, decked with gold, on Gimlé’s heights. In agreement with the Edda and with Revelation, the Egyptian priests tell Solon that the buildings dedicated to the Asen on the Asen hill teemed with silver, gold, ivory, and noble stone. Those were the palaces of the Asen on the Atlantic heaven hill. Along the walls of the feast hall ran benches for the brave Aryan battle companions of the Asen. They met there for glad feasts, to which noble guests from the Atlantic colonies and other states were admitted, and at which the Valkyries served.

Valkyries and Norns

Section 17, pages 57 to 61, is the women of the sanctuary, and the start of cloisters. The Valkyries are successors of the Norns. While the Aryan settlement was still small, three Norns lived at the holy Urd spring: Urd, that which has become, Werdandi, that which is becoming, and Skult, as he prints Skuld, the future. After old Aryan custom they kept the fire burning on the summits, nursed the sick, helped women at births, and gave wise counsel in sickness. They also performed baptism, like the wise women on old German cult places before Christianity. Emergency baptism is still done by midwives. As keepers of the eternal fire the Norns return among the Romans as Vestals and in ancient temples as temple virgins, called angels in the Bible. They wore white, and were holy and inviolable. In the stone age they lived on the holy hills and in dwelling pits, where possible beside a holy spring, for example at the Ipf. The people greatly honored the wise women. When the Roman church gained a footing in Germany it tried to displace them and persecuted them as witches. Popular saga still lets them walk in white over the holy hills of home. Where they appear as three, they are the three fate sisters Einbett, Warbett, and Wilbett. Inside the holy rings they were safe from everyone, holy and inviolable, for no one might cross the rings on pain of death, a custom which, after the biographer of Otto the Holy of Bamberg, was still practiced in northern Germany about the year 1000. German names still tell of them: Nuremberg as Nornenberg, the castle hill there the holy Norns’ hill, Nornheim in Swabia, Nordstetten in Middle Franconia, and Nördlingen. Christian names replaced the German Norns: Walburga, Ursula, Einbet, Warbet, Wilbet, Maria, Ottilie. The great estates of their holy places and their temples passed to the Christian church and the cloisters. He cites Josef Rühsel, Die drei Nornen, Dresden 1920.

As the settlement on Atlantis grew, more nurses were needed, and the woman question grew sharper because Asen men were much reduced by incessant fights with the animals, which is what the Bible calls the lower-race humans. Unmarried, blameless virgins of Asen family gave themselves in growing measure to public service, in nursing, in the schools, in the temple, and in the king’s palace. The Aias built not only hospitals but a well-trained school system for the Aryan young. Remains were the druid schools in the Atlantic colonies in the west of Europe and the Germanic schools in north Germany, among them the excellent school at Hildesheim, which Charlemagne abolished. Place names still remember the druids, the Druidenstein near Georgensgmünd, and Truisheim in Swabia. A hall in Walhall was called Trudheim after the Edda.

For service in the king’s palace the most reliable, loyal, and beautiful girls of the noblest families were chosen. The Edda says so in Gylfaginning: there are yet others who serve in Walhall, bring the drink, and are to keep the table gear and the ale bowls. Walküre therefore means the virgins chosen for service on Walhall. They reached the drinking horn to the heroes and Asen who had distinguished themselves. As our nurses tend the wounded, so did the Atlantic Aryans. Valkyries sometimes brought the wounded and the dead from battle on horseback to the Idafeld and to Walhall. When Babylon on the Idafeld became a giant city, and large crowds of mixed people and lower-race people settled in it, the Valkyries needed a guard, taken from the virgins themselves. Spear maidens followed the army and brought the wounded or the fallen back to the healing places at the Urd spring, or for burial in the heaven hill, in heaven. Later, Valkyrie bands may have joined the fight themselves. From that the Amazon corps among certain Aryan peoples of antiquity, for example the Scythians, is explained without strain. The Iliad too: Aphrodite, as Amazon queen, that is as a Valkyrie leader, carries the wounded Aeneas from the battle and is herself wounded. Place names remember them: Walkerszell, Walkersbronn, Walkershof. Separate houses for Norns and Valkyries are the beginning of the cloister system. Valkyries chosen for virtue, beauty, and piety also served, like the Vestals, in white before the throne of God and in his holy temple on the god-hill. He cites Revelation 14 and 15. They also provided the temple music with trombones, cymbals, harps, and drums. “Holy, holy is God the Lord” sounded from women’s mouths in the All-father’s temple on Atlantis. The holy old stone of Kivik in Norway shows the Germanic custom of solemn worship music by virgins. The names Engelstal and Engelsberg may point to the custom. In the old cults the angels are shown as genii with four wings. The wings are signs of the wind, and after Revelation they are the four winds of the earth, the hurricane and cyclone that more than once laid waste the Atlantic paradise.

Into heaven

Section 18, pages 61 and 62, explains the saying that a good dead person goes to heaven. It leads back tens of thousands of years to the Aryan paradise Atlantis. After the Edda the dead were carried by the Valkyries to Walhall and laid out. The bodies then came to grave chambers inside the heaven hill, accompanied by kin and friends. Because the heaven hill was called, shortly, heaven, the saying is explained. By rank the dead came into different parts of the hill, into the first through the seventh heaven. The bodies of kings and princes were embalmed and kept so that the body remained unchanged for centuries, and so was immortal. He cites Döllinger, Baldur und Bibel. When the sagas of the old peoples tell of immortals, the word applies to the uncorrupted bodies of the Atlantic princes whom the lower race worshipped as gods. As we visit the dead in the churchyard, the Aias visited their uncorrupted dead in the vaults of the heaven hill. Homer mentions this visit to the dead in the underworld, in Hades. As German saga lets great princes live on in mountains, Wodan in the Watzmann, Barbarossa in the Kyffhäuser, the people on Atlantis believed the Asen lived on in heaven and would one day rise and return. So arose the teaching of the resurrection of life in the mythologies of the old culture peoples, and it was taken into Christianity. Burial in temples and holy hills ran through all Aryan peoples for long thousands of years. The oldest mummy found among the Egyptians had red-blonde hair and is over 8,000 years old. The temple at Jerusalem, after the Bible, was full of death chambers, and the holy hills in Palestine held bodies of Germanic kings and prophets. The holy hills in Germany were also used for burial and cremation, as digs have shown, so on the step-hill at Thalmässing. A great number of holy hills in Germany and Europe, and the works of the mound builders in North America, show hollows and underground passages that may have served for burial and for worship. When Roman missionaries rooted out German Wodan worship, temple treasures will often have been hidden in the passages. The sagas tell of golden treasures buried there. The Christian church continued the custom and called the underground works crypts. Embalming lasted in various Atlantic colonies, Egypt and Central America. Underground passages also ran in old times from many churches to others, or to holy hills, because the first churches were usually built on holy places or were reconsecrated sun temples. The dead of the first rank are still buried in churches. So an old Aryan custom, practiced more than thirty thousand years ago, reaches into the present.

Into hell

Section 19, pages 63 to 67, is the other saying, and the book of life. Eminent Atlantic Aryans who had worked in the colonies would want to be buried in the home earth, or their kin would want it. Old American sagas, Egyptian reports and death customs, and places in the Edda and in Revelation point to the bringing of bodies to the island Atlantis. For the transport the Edda uses the ship Naglfahr, put together from the nails of the dead. The belief of the Egyptian Aryans looked for the world of the dead in the west. It lets the dead live on the island of the blessed, watched by a giant snake, which is the war fleet of the Atlanteans or their leaders. The island of the blessed is Atlantis. Not every Aryan dead person of the colonies could be buried there. The custom was limited to those who had distinguished themselves by services to Atlantis, by discoveries and inventions, by great heroic deeds, or in some other way. Germany does something like it by bringing busts to the Walhalla at Donaustauf. Records of famous men were entered in a book, by which one tested whether the dead should be admitted to burial in heaven. In Egypt this became a formal court of the dead, on which the fate of the soul at transmigration depended. In death the Egyptian celebrated his reconciliation with life, and Osiris appeared to him as the savior who solved the riddle of existence. Osiris sits on the royal chair with the scepter, which is Yggdrasil, the whip, and the crown. Beside him sits the hell hound, who watches the entrance to hell. Behind him stands a god Taati, who enters the result on a tablet, into the golden book of life. A balance weighed the good and bad deeds. The dead stands by with the cross in his hand. The goddesses of truth and justice watch. An originally necessary civic arrangement passed into Egyptian belief. The Bible mentions the court of the dead and the entry in the book of life in Revelation 20, Daniel 7, the gospel of John 5, Isaiah 4, and Luke 10:20. Whoever stood in the book of life might, as he wished, be received in the Atlantic heaven. He was carried there and came into heaven. All other dead were not buried in holy earth but burned. The many neighboring volcanoes on Atlantis suited that. One simply gave the dead to the throat of the fire-spewing mountains, the eternal fire. The dead went to Hel, hell, or, as Revelation says, into the fiery pool.

Evildoers, revolutionaries, who fought the Asen rule, seem also to have been thrown living into the terrible fiery pool. He cites Revelation 14:9-11. There they were to burn with eternal fire. So the biblical phrases hell, the journey to hell, eternal fire, and the fiery pool are explained historically. In the teaching of the Persian founder Zoroaster the souls of the dead came for three days after death into a fire of hell. This belief entered the Christian church as the assumption of an eternal purgatory. All mythologies hint at the historical explanation of this religious error. In the Edda, in Gylfaginning, all men who are well mannered shall live and be with him in the place called Gibil or Wingolf, but evil men go to Hel and then into Niflhel, down in the ninth underworld. Wingolf is the gold-shining hall of the heaven burg, to which the Valkyries carry the fallen heroes. Hel, or also Managarm, means the eternal fire burning deep in the inmost earth. Greek mythology is clearer. A ferryman Charon brings the souls to the realm of the dead, crossed by four rivers of the underworld, notably Styx and Acheron. The realm of the dead is the Idafeld, Eden, with its four rivers. The great river the ferryman crosses is the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Charon unloads the souls on the west shore of the world sea. A court of the dead then decides the way, to Elysium, the island of the blessed, heaven, or to Tartarus, Hel, hell. The acquitted were buried beside their Aryan forefathers on Atlantis, in heaven. The evil were given to the glowing abyss, Managarm, for cremation. In Tartarus the soul suffered eternal torments, as in the purgatory of the Roman church. The Greek hell hound Kerberos, the obolus put in the dead man’s mouth, and the Indian saga of the dogs the dead must pass, justify the assumption that the burial volcano was fenced and given to a watchman who kept one or more dogs. Aryans would not take the dirty trade of putting the dead or the condemned into the fiery throat. One won lower-race people for it, probably Negroes. Therefore in all traditions the devil and his helpers are marked with the dark lower race, and art shows them so: black, small of brow, with an animal-raw face, animal feet, and tailed like the apes. The word Teufel, dialect Tuifel, may name the one working in the Tuife, the depth of the crater. Devil is the pictorial expression in the Bible for the mixed and the lower race, the polar opposite of the Aryan god-man. The Edda says the high priest Loki, who overthrew the Asen rule, had three children: the Fenris wolf, the Midgard snake, and Hel. The last seems to have been given the burial business. She lives on in the German saga of the devil’s grandmother. The watch was richly paid. Every mythology says rich gifts had to be given the bodies for the ferryman and for Hel. The custom runs into the Roman church: by many prayers, rich gifts, and foundations the soul can be redeemed from purgatory. Other Atlantic matters became articles of faith whose denial brings eternal damnation and the pains of purgatory. The chosen come to heaven, the damned to hell. Christ comes again to the general world judgment and court of the dead. He will set the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Those come into their father’s realm and will shine like the sun. These come into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Christian pictures of the future world judgment strongly recall the Egyptian pictures of the court of Osiris and also show the book of the dead, the book of life. Church thoughts here touch heathen Greek ones. Zeus hurls the Titans and giants, mixed people, who want to storm heaven, the heaven hill, Asgard, on Atlantis, into Tartarus. The myth is probably a memory that rebels were sometimes thrown by the Asen into the throat of the crater. So church articles of faith lead back about 15,000 years into the history of the Aryan settlement Atlantis.

Pyramids and step-hills

Section 20, pages 67 to 73, is the building type, and the claim that the round northern sanctuary is older than the Atlantic step-hill. Wherever the Germans came they laid out holy assembly places as the cultural center of communities and districts, smaller or larger, all on the same pattern, usually one to three circular or elliptical ring walls or steps. They belonged to the honoring of the sun, which after the terrible ice-age millennia had brought them the eternal spring, and they reproduced the sun’s path as it showed itself in the northern districts of their first home. In the sunny hot south, where one fled the sun’s glowing rays, the round and elliptical form slowly became angular, and the angular step-hills and pyramids arose. They were originally sun sanctuaries, and served as temples and also as star watch-places. Only later did a strange custom creep in. When the Atlantic colony was so huge that the bodies of respected leaders could no longer be brought to the Atlantic heaven, one buried them in one’s own sanctuary, in one’s own heaven hill, in pyramids built for the purpose, as one still meets them in all colonies of the Atlantic world realm. Egyptian kings had pyramids built as burial places. From that one can infer what great stretches of time belong to the pyramids that still served the original purpose. Not only the setting by the quarters of the sky, but all measures, angles, passages, and chambers are built on numbers that presuppose an unusual knowledge of the sky. Everything points to Atlantis as the main seat of pyramid building. Most pyramids were found in the Atlantic colony Central America. The custom was inherited into the Inca time. The giant pyramid buildings of the cacique residence of the Chimu realm, destroyed by the Incas, served as graves and held passages, chambers, niches, and vaults, and also treasures of the caciques and temples. From one of these pyramids a Spanish conqueror in 1567 took so much gold and silver that he could pay the state 4.5 million marks in dues alone. Some of these artificial pyramids were up to 70 meters (229.66 feet) high and usually carried a temple on the top. He cites Gronau, volume I, page 87. Grand pyramids are especially at Itzamal on Yucatan, which he prints Itza mal and Sukatan. One of them bears the name Face of the Sun. These buildings prove the connection of the old cultures with the Atlantic culture, and that culture as the mother of the rest.

The pyramids in the colonies are angular, three-sided and four-sided, so they depart from the original model on Atlantis. The heaven hill on Atlantis was still a faithful image of the sanctuaries the Aias had raised in the polar lands, thought of as copies of the vault of heaven and of the sun’s path. That the southern copies left the circular or elliptical form, which lasted in northern Europe into Christian times, proves that those southern Aryans had lost the memory of the sun’s path as their forefathers saw it in the northern polar lands. The circular and elliptical form, of which thousands still stand in northern Europe, is ancient and older than the step-hill on Atlantis. The earth pyramids in America come, after the finds, from a time when man there still lived with the mammoth and the mastodon and was already passing from stone to copper. That forces an enormous stretch of time. Countless scientific finds in America prove that man already existed on American soil during the Tertiary and lived with prehistoric animals in both North and South America, fighting them with rough stone weapons, so that the beginnings of human culture in America can be carried back a million years and further. The culture of the Atlanteans, since the pyramid buildings are only late expressions of the Aryan Atlantic culture, goes back without doubt to a very early time. Both the religion and the ring-shaped buildings and the stepped fitting of the heaven hill recall their first home in northern Europe. Therefore Zschaetzsch’s view, that the Aryans came from Atlantis, is a mistaken one. He cites Zschaetzsch, pages 71 and following, Berlin 1920. Atlantis was only one of the many Germanic settlements, and the one most important for Germanic world culture.

In Egypt only the princes received graves in the pyramids. The other mortals had to make do with rock graves cut in the edge ranges of the Libyan desert, west of Egypt. One carried the bodies, in old memory of the passage to Atlantis, over the world sea, over the Nile, or over an artificial lake, toward the west, where the sun sinks. Whoever wants to see a well-kept artificial earth pyramid in Germany should visit the Burgstall at Kissing near Augsburg, visible from the station Kissing-Augsburg at one hour’s distance, a pyramid sanctuary with an ecliptic ellipse laid in front. The artificial earthwork, plainly from Aryan time, looks remarkably like an American earth pyramid, the Great Mound at Miamisburg in Ohio. Like the American ones, the Kissing pyramid has an underground passage. Whether it also has a grave chamber, like those, like the Atlantic heaven hill, and like the Egyptian stone pyramids, would have to be tested. It is probable. Two earth pyramids in truncated cone form are also on the Hesselberg in Middle Franconia. They were once wrongly taken for Roman barrier forts. Splendid earth pyramids from original Germanic Atlantic time still stand in German Austria: the tumulus of Groß-Mugl and the tumulus of Deutsch-Altenburg. There one also sees giant step pyramids. The Götschenberg, a step pyramid on a circular base, and the Hausberg in Lower Austria on a square ground of 12,000 square meters. The latter carries two pyramids on top, one on a circular base and one on a square base. He cites Guido v. List, Mythologische Landschaftsbilder. Even a short look at the pyramid temple hills lets one sense one and the same prehistoric culture of a peculiar religious stamp through the whole world. Sections 24 and 25 will bring proofs that it really existed.

How old the settlement was

Section 21, pages 73 and 74, is the short chronology I would set beside any other writer’s date for the end of Atlantis. The age of the Aryan settlements and of Aryan culture goes back over enormous stretches. The chronological reports of the Egyptian priest and historian Manetho give the age of Egyptian culture at about 27,000 years counted from now. Atlantis, after the records of the Egyptian priests, was swallowed by the sea in the year 9564 before Christ, so about 11,500 years ago.

Atlantis ist nach den Aufzeichnungen der ägyptischen Priester im Jahre 9564 vor Christi, also vor rund 11 500 Jahren vom Meere verschlungen worden.

Hermann Wieland. Atlantis, Edda und Bibel (1925), p. 73

The sense is that, after the Egyptian priests’ records, the sea swallowed Atlantis in 9564 B.C., about 11,500 years before he writes. On the age of the Aryan culture on Atlantis, the traditions of the Central American peoples give an answer. After them, Atlantic history covers four ages, at the end of each of which natural events badly damaged the Aias. The last age ended with the fall of the holy island. Humboldt calculates the length of the four great Atlantic world ages, after the Mexican traditions, at 18,028 years. Add the 11,500 years since the fall, and the Aryan culture on Atlantis gets a stretch of about 30,000 years. In reality the Atlantic Germanic culture goes back hundreds of thousands of years, as the rock pictures of Bohuslän prove. H. Fischer joins that view in Weltwende.

Out of the history of Atlantis

Section 22, pages 74 to 78, reads Revelation as a chronicle of earthquakes, eruptions, storms, drought, plague, and revolution on the island. Central American sagas, the sagas of the old culture peoples of the Mediterranean, Homer, the Edda, and the Atlantic chronicle in the Bible, Revelation, agree that Atlantis was visited by terrible natural events, some of which recall the Egyptian plagues. A broad belt of volcanic country lies between the tropics, always threatened by heavy earthquakes. The island Krakatau in the Pacific went down with 85,000 people. The earthquake in Japan is still fresh in memory. Deep-sea research found, a few decades ago, that where Atlantis had been there is a far-stretched rise in the Atlantic, the scene of giant volcanic disturbances within a measurable geological interval. He cites Suess, 1888, and Wegener, 1920. The remains, the Azores and the Canaries, still show lively volcanic activity. The Edda, in the seeress’s vision, pictures the earthquake as Garm howling before Gnipahellir, the wolf tearing the fetter and running. Garm is the craters. The wolf is the lava. Revelation reports great earthquakes on Atlantis in several places. After Revelation 11:13 a great earthquake destroyed the tenth part of the Atlantic Babylon and killed 7,000 people. Revelation 6:12 and 16:18 tell of mighty earthquakes. At the last and greatest, since men have been on earth, the great city was torn in three and the place of the heathen, the lower race and the mixed people, in the volcanic mountains was destroyed. Revelation 8 describes an eruption: lava went into the sea like a great mountain burning with fire, the third part of the sea became blood, the third part of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships nearby were lost. In Revelation 16 these events are told as if angels, Angelois, had poured the plagues from their bowls. That recalls the Greek saga of Pandora’s box.

The tropic belt is also the playground of destroying typhoons and cyclones. In the Sahara these whirlwinds are the terrible simoom. They destroy cities and villages, break forests, lay waste whole districts, and build and carry off hills. The winds were to be signified by the wings of the angels. Corresponding to the four chief wind directions, four angels or cherubim stood behind the throne of God. After Revelation 7:1 they were to prevent winds from blowing any longer over the sea, the earth, or any tree. The fine arrangement will not have helped much. Pylons, the wings at the entrance of Egyptian, Assyrian, and Central American temples, should also be a memory of the wind danger. Revelation 16:8-9 reports a fourth angel pouring his bowl into the sun and making it hot. A great heat arose. The water of the great stream on the Idafeld and its watering system presumably dried up. Such drought often rules in blessed India. The consequences are the same as on Atlantis: famine and pest, of which Revelation 11 reports. Glands, painful plague boils, arose on people. As always, the lower race was seized more, because of unhygienic life and blood spoiled by mixing. A fifth angel poured the plague on the throne of the beast, the animal-men, the mixed, and the lower race. Famine and the dearth that followed are Revelation 6:6, the black horse. A pale horse followed: death by hunger, mutual murder, and evil beasts getting the upper hand. After chapter 6:8 the fourth part of the people on Atlantis perished. Ezekiel 5 and 14:21 also speak of the various plagues on Atlantis.

The rule of the Aryan race and its Asen is signified by a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow and a crown and went out conquering. He cites Revelation 6:2. Under the crowned Asen the people lived happy. Because the Atlantic Aryans lived under a colored population, red, yellow, and black, many times their number, mixing was unavoidable. Mixed people, with a part of Asen spirit and Asen energy, with the brand of mixing, and filled with bottomless hate against the high Aias, threw themselves up as leaders of the lower race. The Bible calls them false prophets, beasts, and dragons of great power. They were given power to speak great things and blasphemies against God, his name, his sanctuary in heaven, and against the ruling layer living in heaven, that is on the Asenburg. Already then the mixed rabble cried for freedom and equality. He cites Genesis 3:21. The sad spectacle that has gone over the world for thousands of years in a hundred forms went over Germany too in 1918. The dregs, the mixed rabble, seized the reins and overcame the holy ones of God, the Aias. The lower race was given power over all families, languages, and heathen, and all who lived on the earth, Atlantis, and whose names did not stand in the golden book of life, worshipped the terrible dragon. They went through thick and thin with the new tyrants, as in Germany in the revolution time 1918 to 1924. These revolutions led only to the population strangling one another. The revolution is the red horse of Revelation 6:4. It is most strange, he writes, that already many thousands of years ago, when this history report on Atlantis was written, red was the color of revolution and of the lower race. It is found as the color of the Atlantic priest rule, of world Judaism, of the Roman world church, of world Freemasonry, of international social democracy, and of bloody overthrow. The favorite colors of the Aryans since immemorial times are white, blue, and gold. Hence the white clothes of the Asen and the angels, and the northern land colors.

The rule of the lower-race beast on Atlantis must have been very tyrannical. Images, signs of the new freedom, were carried, as at the great French Revolution. Whoever did not worship them was killed. Everyone was outlawed and economically impossible who did not wear the sign of the revolution on the right hand or on the forehead. He cites Revelation 13:15-17. One is vividly reminded, he says, of the revolution in Germany, where many were forced to wear some red revolutionary badge, and where the old Aryan swastika was torn from many a breast, and this became the occasion of murder, the Munich hostage murder. Under the altars in the All-father’s temple was the entrance to the grave vaults and passages, into which the murdered Aias were brought. Chapter 7 describes the lament of the survivors, that God may avenge the blood of the murdered on the lower race who live on the earth, Atlantis. From chapter 6:11 the Asen population wore white clothes to be distinct. Revelation 12:7 shows the efforts of the Asen population to win the rule back. Revelation 12:13 and Daniel 10:13 mention that Michael, the Asen king, and his angels, the Aryan people, fought with the dragon, the lower race. Revelation 12:9 and 19:20 show the terrible judgment. The false prophets, the agitators for mob rule, the leaders of the lower race, and all who wore the rebels’ sign were thrown living into the fiery pool that burned with brimstone, without doubt a burning crater. American traditions also report plagues of fire and water, of hunger and of wind, like the Bible and like the saga of Pandora’s box. Various Edda places also point to Atlantic plagues.

The world fire

Section 23, pages 78 to 85, is a comet striking the earth, read out of Daniel and Revelation, and set beside Phaethon, Ovid, the Edda, and the Avesta. He asks the reader to follow him briefly into astronomy. A shooting star, a fireball that bursts, meteorites of iron, nickel, cobalt, and other minerals, a second’s flight of 80 to 100 kilometers (62.14 miles), about the way from Nuremberg to Bamberg, faster than the fastest cannonball. Meteors are parts of comets. The head of the comet of 1811 had a diameter of 140,000 miles (225307 kilometers), about 25 times the earth’s, and he has these comets rushing at 73 miles (117.48 kilometers) a second, a way from the Bodensee to Berlin in one second. If the earth’s path met a comet, the part that touched the cloud of fireballs would go up in flame. A weak image is the regular shooting-star falls of 10 August and 12 November. Humboldt and Bonpland in 1799, on the coast of Venezuela, watched thousands of fireballs and shooting stars in four hours. A collision would surpass the most terrible drumfire on the Somme in look and in effect. Pope Clement VII laid the ban on the comet of 1533 and hoped to turn its danger from Christendom onto the Turks. Comet sermons were held in all Catholic and Protestant churches. In 1665 Duke Eberhard of Württemberg still ordered three penitential sermons because of a comet. In the far part of its path a comet usually shows no tail. Newton’s comet of 1680 drove out a tail of 30,000 miles (48280 kilometers) in three days, which grew to 56 million miles. Sometimes the tail is bent and the head seems to have two horns. Sometimes a comet splits in two as it nears the sun.

Read Daniel 8 and the Revelation places he then names, and it is beyond doubt, he says, that they are only the appearance of a comet on Atlantis, its growth, its collision with the earth, and the terrible results. It appeared on the horizon before the water, that is at the sea, and had a bent tail with two horns, one higher than the other, and the highest grew last. The horns struck west, south, and north. The head stood east, as with the comet visible here about ten years before he writes. The tail covered part of the constellations, the beasts. The comet plainly split in two or gained a double. He cites Daniel 8:5-8. A terrible collision followed. The beast, the comet’s tail, grew up to the host of heaven, threw part of it and of the stars to earth, trod them, and laid waste the dwellings of the Asen sanctuary on Atlantis. Revelation 6:12-17 confirms it. The stars of heaven fell to earth as a fig tree casts its figs when a great wind moves it. At the same time there was an eclipse and a great earthquake. The heaven departed as a book that is rolled up. Every mountain and island was moved out of its place. A hail of meteorites and fire fell on the earth, and the third part of the trees and all green grass burned. The third part of the sun, the moon, and the stars was smitten, so that the day did not shine for the third part, and the night likewise. The contact of the comet’s path with the earth’s, and the terrible shooting-star fall, happened at an eclipse, probably at the spring equinox, and lasted a third of the day and a third of the night, together eight hours. Great woe was among those who lived on the earth, the survivors on Atlantis. In Revelation 12 the comet is called a dragon. His tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven. Michael and his angels fought with the dragon and his angels, and the great dragon, the old snake, the comet, was cast to earth. A footnote on this page says that in the secret language of the Bible Michael means Saturn. Fischer’s Weltwende refers the same Bible places to the fall of Phoebus and to the capture of the present moon. Wieland is here reading a comet instead.

Because the earth turned during the eight hours, the same devastation of the world fire will have covered the third part of the earth. Hence Revelation 8:7, that the third part of the trees and of the grass burned. The kings on Atlantis, the great, the rich, and all who knew, hid in time in the clefts and rocks of the mountains. He cites Revelation 6:15-16 and Isaiah 2:10 and 13. Few in the stricken districts will have found rescue. Revelation 12 tells of an Asen queen, adorned with a shining sun disk and a twelve-pointed crown. She fled the comet dragon, which threw its weapon, its fireballs, after her. She reached a cave in time. The earth covered her and swallowed the fire stream the dragon shot from his mouth. In the cave she gave birth to a son who should rule all the heathen, the lower race, with an iron staff, so a future Asen king, Baldur, Jesus. Of the Asen son born in the cave, the sun god Mithras, Dionysus, Zeus, Adonis, Hermes, Jesus, Horus, the Egyptian, Persian, and Greek god teachings also report. At the cult of Dionysus a picture of the child born of a divine virgin mother in a cave was carried in procession. The story of Lot hiding with his daughters from the fire rain in a cave, and of Elijah on Horeb in a cave when the fire passed by, are only variations of this old history report. Elijah, clothed with Wodan’s mantle, lighting the sacrifice on Carmel with a lightning, and driving to heaven with Thor’s fiery chariot, is an Aryan saga figure and may well be that cave-born Asen son. His name Elia, Helios, sun god, already points to it.

If much older history reports and sagas say the same as the Bible, a chance meeting is not to be assumed. They all tell of one and the same catastrophe, the world fire. Greek mythology tells it in the Phaethon saga. The youth Phaethon, perhaps Wodan, once had leave from his father Helios, Elia, the bright one, the blond, to drive the sun chariot. The sun horses, meteorites, ran away with him and set everything on earth on fire. A place in Ovid’s Metamorphoses, song 2, line 40, also refers to the world fire on Atlantis: the Negro bands blackened first from blood boiling into the pores, and Libya’s fields became Saharas where the glow swallowed all moisture. When Solon told the Egyptian priests the Phaethon saga, they taught him that the true kernel was the changed motion of the bodies circling the earth, and the destruction of everything earthly by a great fire. A footnote allows that this may be a change in the position of the earth’s axis, and cites Blavatsky’s Geheimlehre for periodic changes of the axis from old Aryan records of Atlantic, Egyptian, and Indian initiates. The fire rain, after the writings of the Egyptian priests, was about 13,500 years ago. Records of Central American priests give the age of fire as the third world age. The god of fire looks down at the end of it to destroy the earth. One human pair saved itself in a cave.

A place in the Völuspá refers to the world fire and the meteor hail: the sun did not know where she had her seat, the moon did not know where he had power, the stars did not know where they had a place. The Avesta of the people he prints as Zentarier also points, like Revelation 12, to a fight between the heavenly bodies and comets, and tells of shooting stars at a lake Vourukasa. Stones falling from heaven, mostly burned black, were long honored as holy stones. Two centuries before Christ the Romans fetched from the temple of Cybele, the woman who after Greek saga was saved at the fire rain, a black stone that was divinely honored. One said it had fallen from heaven and was the image of Cybele. Probably the holy black stone in the Kaaba at Mecca, which an angel allegedly brought from heaven, and which all Mohammedans honor, is a meteorite that fell at the world fire. The comet that caused the world fire is also the stone in Daniel 2:35 that filled the whole world, that is, the comet smashed the whole culture on Atlantis.

The rescue of the Asen queen is also in old sagas. After old American writings, far older than Revelation, a single human pair saved itself in a cave. The younger Edda brings a like report. While the world perished in the flames of Surtur, two people stayed alive: Lifthasir, whom he glosses in parentheses as Lebenslieber, and a woman, glossed Leben. They hid in the wood Hoddimimir. Both became the tribal parents of the new men. He cites Joh. Minkwitz. After Greek mythology Reha fled Kronos with her newborn child Zeus into a grotto of Mount Dikte, after he had swallowed his five older sons, that is the comet swallowed the stars, and the Asen daughter fled him into a cave. The boy was fed there by a goat Amaltäa. She is found again in the goat Haidrun of the Edda and in the she-wolf that suckled the twins of Reha Silvia. The newborn child Zeus of the Asen is the Indian god Indra, the sun god Osiris of the Egyptians, and the founder of the city of Rome. The Asen queen of the Bible saved herself in the cave at the Urd well, where she lived from the tree of life, Yggdrasil, after Indian saga a fig tree, which escaped the heat of the world fire by the steam of the warm spring.

Why do the traditions of the old culture peoples and the splendid description in the Bible agree so strikingly about the world fire on Atlantis? The Germanic, Indian, Mexican, Egyptian, Babylonian, and Greek traditions, older by centuries and millennia, cannot have been copied from the Bible. The only assumption that thickens into certainty is that the Bible places cited are more or less faithful historical traditions of the world-fire catastrophe. The old Aryan Atlantic history report underlying Revelation was falsified by the evangelist St. John on Patmos, that is by the Jewish kabbalist John, into a prophecy and a revelation. He points to section 30. Presumably the Aryan Atlantic reporter, probably a Sumerian Atlantic priest, did not dream that his historical and astronomical description, which the Assyriologist Schmidt found on a cuneiform clay tablet, would be read as a divine revelation and as the epistle on St. Michael’s day, and remodeled into a prophecy of coming terrible conditions. Theologians and teachers of all schools must now examine the questions at once if they do not want the reproach of supporting a literary falsification. He cites Hans Lienhardt again, from the same Weißenburg press.

Four ages and the workshops

Section 24, pages 85 to 97, is the metal ages, the colonies’ technique, and the reach of the fleet. He holds that the Germans already brought a certain culture when they entered Atlantis. The ring-shaped plan of their sanctuary speaks for that. If one takes the proofs that man already lived in the Tertiary, before the terrible glaciation, together with Tertiary animals that the ice age wholly killed off, mammoths and mastodons, it lies near that the culture of the Aias goes back a great stretch, perhaps several hundred thousand years. He cites Gronau. Professor Otto Hauser found in southern France a circular sanctuary which on his statements reaches back 30,000 years, built on like architectural and astronomical ideas as the holy circles on Atlantis. He cites Hauser, Der Mensch vor 100.000 Jahren, Leipzig 1917, and La Micoque, 1916. Since Fischer credibly argues that human culture already existed before the previous moon fell, in the Tertiary, and since Hauser’s finds in the Vezeretal reach into the time of that moon’s girdle flood, an enormous stretch must be assumed for the age of that sanctuary, and Europe as the place of origin of the ring-shaped works. Culture on Atlantis developed extraordinarily fast compared with north and central Europe. The virgin, extremely fruitful soil and the mild climate of eternal spring gave fruit and herbs for little labor. In the old European home the German depended more on his work. As a free man among free men he did no slave service. On Atlantis, as in Egypt, a host of slaves stood ready. The northern districts were comparatively poor in useful metals. There a mighty natural wealth of metals, ores, and stones ruled.

After the immigration a blessed time came for the Aias. Their activity was marked by knowledge and use of metals and stones. By that knowledge one distinguishes four ages on Atlantis: a golden, a silver, a bronze, and an iron. He cites Daniel 2:32. As Central and South America have long been marked by great gold wealth, so Atlantis had a natural wealth of gold. Genesis 2:11 and 12 says that in the stream Pison, which watered the Idafeld, one found precious gold. This wash gold, won without labor, may first have led the Atlantic Aias to work gold. Following the streams, they sought the gold in the mountains themselves and found the minerals so important for the stone age, nephrite, jadeite, and obsidian. He cites Much, Die Heimat der Indogermanen, Jena 1904. Those stones were used for tools and are found in all continents where the Atlantic Viking ships penetrated. Hair-sharp obsidian knives were still used by the Mexican priests at the conquest, after ancient custom, at their sacrifices. Various stone tools in European stone-age graves are of rock that points to Mexico and Atlantis as the land of origin, so industry and trade in stone tools may already have been carried on in an early stone age. Material was also fetched at Rapa-nui, whose mighty stone statues with long faces point to the Aryan Atlanteans and their giant prehistoric ancestors.

Metals that occur native were worked first. Given the wealth of silver veins in the South American, Central American, and Atlantic mountains, mining of silver soon set in beside gold. All reports of Atlantis speak of an enormous wealth in gold, silver, and gems, and of great gold and silver treasures on the royal burg Asgard. He points back to section 16. It is worth considering whether the gold wealth of prehistoric Germany, which Professor Kossinna praises in various publications, is not somehow connected with Atlantis and its world trade. A great shove forward came with the discovery of the copper ores. Copper occurs native at Lake Ontario in hundredweight blocks. In ancient abandoned mine galleries at Lake Ontario one still found copper blocks dug out by miners and suddenly abandoned, presumably at the fall of Atlantis. Such copper may first have been worked into the copper tools found in masses among the mound builders of the Mississippi plain, which force one to assume a copper age for the Mississippi plain and for Atlantis, then surely closely joined. He cites Gronau, page 30 and following. The winning and working of copper still belongs to the younger bronze age.

Of mighty influence was the discovery of bronze, a mixture of copper and tin. After Plato’s report the Aias’ wealth in bronze must have been enormous, or they could not have covered their burg walls with bronze plates. The priests at Sais told Solon that the island supplied everything mining offers in native or forged ores, including a sort of brass dug in many places and valued by the Aias next to gold. Their bronze had a fire color, hence the enthusiastic reports of the ancients about the shining golden gates and walls of the holy city of God. He applies Ezekiel 27:10 and 11, Zechariah 9:2, and the Revelation places he numbers, including a 1l7 that is his printed figure. Weapons and shields of the Aryan armies were likewise of bronze. The Edda, in the seeress’s vision, says the Asen joined on the Idafeld to arch court and sanctuary high, built forges, smithed ores, and made tongs and fair tools. The priests at Sais also told Solon that foreign lands supplied the Atlantic state with many ores. The invention of bronze made a rich culture life and the building of merchant ships possible. A great merchant fleet arose, and a lively trade brought ores from all lands into the industrially flowering Babylon in the midst of the sea. The numerous gold mines of antiquity found in the gold land Ophir in southeast Africa, about 60,000, were probably already opened by Atlantic entrepreneurs. Frobenius shows that Atlantis also stood in trade connection with West Africa, Senegambia and Nigeria, and that the great light-colored Yoruba families of the holy city Ife are probably remains, gone Negro, of an Atlantic colonial population. He cites Und Afrika sprach, volume I. Schliemann’s finds also prove the Atlantic trade.

Industry took on a modern look through the discovery of iron. On Atlantis and in its colonies the use of iron set in very early. The invention is so important that it was given the Gothic Indogermanic name Aias-Eisen, which strikingly recalls the Aias. The Egyptian priests tell Solon nothing of the use of iron on Atlantis, but Ovid, in the Metamorphoses, which contain the old traditions, speaks of the golden, silver, bronze, and iron ages. The Bible reports that refer to Atlantis and come from the Atlantic time already use the word iron, so Revelation 19:15 and 12:5. So the use of iron was already known on Atlantis about 12,000 years ago. The speed of culture development differs in every continent and every land. If iron was already worked on Atlantis, it is no surprise that iron was used in Egypt already in the time of the first dynasties. The Atlanteans also brought the knowledge elsewhere. In China, about 4,000 years ago, at the city he prints Jainge-anfu, an iron pagoda weighing about a million kilograms was raised. Three thousand years before Christ, cast steel was known in India, and by 900 B.C. rust-free iron. He cites Krämer, Weltall und Menschheit, volume 5. In Palestine hot-air bellows for making iron were discovered, and the digs in Mesopotamia and Egypt brought iron tools from the lowest culture layers. After Bible reports, pre-Jewish Canaan was already very rich in iron and iron ores. He cites Döllinger, chapter 4.

With the discovery of the metals, Atlantic industry and culture climbed to a height that in very many things reached our present culture, if it did not surpass it. One sees that in the remains among the Aztecs, Toltecs, Mayas, and Incas, and among the Babylonians and the Egyptians. The Aryan builders of the Cheops pyramid, 20,000 years old after Bunsen, had a thorough admirable knowledge of statics and mechanics. The number pi was without doubt used in the plans. Relations of the pyramid to the solar year and to the precession of the equinox are unmistakable. The old Egyptians already knew the laws of the electric spark and of conducting electricity. Copper wires were found in Egyptian temples. An inscription says that masts 100 feet (30.48 meters) high, sheathed with copper, before the temples served to catch the lightning. Obelisks and copper hoods pursued the same purpose. The making of the artificial Lake Moeris, circumference 75 kilometers (46.6 miles), surface 175 square kilometers, depth 50 fathoms, was done with physical knowledge or mechanical aids of which we can form no idea. The Egyptians also had chemical knowledge that modern chemistry has not yet unriddled. Old Egyptian color chemistry is still unmatched. Already before 1600 B.C. gunpowder and paper-making were known in Egypt. The Central American culture peoples also knew paper-making. The water conduit which Solomon, with a question mark he prints, had built for the supply of Jerusalem after hydraulic laws unknown to us is one of the greatest technical feats of all times. He cites the passage as Thron. 30-32, and Krämer again. In the lowest culture layers of Mycenae, which without question come from Atlantic time, glass was already found. In Peru the presence of the cross in all forms surprises, in the small arts, on textiles, in the pottery. From Peru the cross motif radiates over South America. Favorite Indian ornaments were crosses, the dove, and fishes. He cites Alois Heim, Vienna 1891, and P. Saintyve. Silk and cotton weaves are found in the Peruvian grave chambers as in Egypt. The chief god of the Peruvians, after Indian tales, had come from an overseas land and was a great haggard figure with a long beard.

What we praise as great achievements of modern culture is often only a repetition of ancient Aryan inventions, whose knowledge stayed limited to a small circle of the knowing from the Aryan master people, and was for the most part lost when they were rooted out in the great Aryan St. Bartholomew’s night. He points to sections 27 to 29. The highly developed prehistoric cultures in Europe, Egypt, Asia, and America are so alike that they all owe their existence to one race, the Aryan Germanic, and that, given the likeness of the prehistoric Aryans and their still fairly great race purity, one and the same Aryan prehistoric culture stretching over the whole world must be assumed. One piece of evidence: among the ancient mound builders of the Mississippi plain is a most strange religious building, described in Gronau. On the so-called Serpent Mound in Ohio is a giant snake, 313 meters (1026 feet) long, formed of stones, clay, and ash, which with jaws opened 23 meters (75.46 feet) wants to swallow a giant egg, a ring-shaped bulge 40 meters (131.23 feet) long and 18 meters (59.06 feet) wide. This is the pictorial statement of the old Aryan belief that the sun of the north is drawn down into the underworld by a great dragon and held captive there for three months of the winter. The Egyptian god Knuph was shaped exactly so. After the Egyptian myth the egg was the world egg, which came from the mouth of the snake, the god Knuph, and from which all things arose. The Ohio hill is certainly the older, the Egyptian the younger. Both say that America and Egypt already stood in culture relations in the dark of prehistory, and that through Atlantis. Such a serpent hill was also found in Argyllshire, which he prints Argyleshire, in England.

The culture history of the Incas says strange things. Forts were found built of giant stones weighing up to 14,000 kilograms. How those masses were brought to the site is still unexplained. Even modern technicians find it a riddle how the monoliths, without doubt from the Atlantean time, of 200 tons, in the sun sanctuaries at Lake Titicaca, could be carried 40 to 50 miles (80.47 kilometers) and set up. He cites Gronau, pages 82 and following. Presumably the Aias knew the lifting of gravity. Only so would the setting up of the giant rocking stones in Chile, Peru, and German Austria be cleanly explained. He cites Guido v. List. Perhaps these buildings were works of giant pre-humans, of whom the Bible speaks in agreement with the Aryan holy writings. The Atlanteans will also have known and worked the sulfur and saltpeter that occur in masses in volcanic districts, and the petroleum that comes to light there. The color industry of the Atlantic colony Egypt, which far surpassed ours in beauty and durability, preferred to make cinnabar red, which requires sulfur and mercury. Sulfuric and nitric acid must also have been used. If the old Egyptians and Chinese already used gunpowder, a mixture of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal, and a sort of Greek fire for fireworks, their knowledge came from the Aryan motherland Atlantis. With a high degree of probability the Aias already knew and used powder. He cites W. Scott-Elliot, Atlantis, page 76, Leipzig 1903. Only so is it understandable that the history report in Revelation strangely tells us, at Revelation 9:14-21, that the Asen possessed a sort of cannon, three of them, in the form of horses and snakes. Compare the fire snakes of the Middle Ages and the snakes of Moses. Out of their mouth went fire and brimstone and smoke, which killed the third part of the lower race and did much damage. Without doubt the Asen used the secret of powder-making against the human animals, many times more numerous. Chapter 20:9 reports that at an attack from all quarters of the sky on the camp of the holy ones and the beloved city of God, the Asen let fire fall from the heaven hill and devour the heathen. The lower race probably also came into possession of the secret through the priests who betrayed the fatherland, and used it against the holy ones of God, the Aryans on Atlantis. He cites Revelation 13:13, and also 9:1-11, and Psalm 46:10. All sagas of antiquity are more or less faithful historical memories. When the mythology of the old culture peoples reports that a god, Thor, Zeus, Jupiter, Indra, carries the lightning in his hand, the historical fact under the saga may be that one of the Atlantic kings, Thor, knew the secret of the cannon and used it in the fight against heathenism.

All knowers of old Egyptian culture confirm that it jumped into Egypt, so to speak, already finished. That is explained only by Egypt being a colony of the Germanic Atlanteans, who transplanted their flowered culture there, as the English transplanted the new Germanic culture to Australia. In the years 1851 to 1854 borings were made at Memphis and Heliopolis, and at a depth of 20 to 25 meters (82.02 feet) bones, bricks, pottery, and so on were found, whose age is estimated at 18,000 to 40,000 years. Diogenes Laertius sets the Egyptian astronomical calculations back 48,863 years, and Martianus, whom this copy prints Eapelsa, wrote that the Egyptians had studied astronomy for over 40,000 years. Further, Bohuslän picture writings, Wendrin, Das entdeckte Paradies, page 235, report that already 45,000 years ago Germans carried on a lively sea traffic with Egypt. If Egyptian culture is demonstrably so old, how high must the age of the Atlantic motherland be rated, and if Egypt already knew electricity, lightning rods, the preparation of oils of every kind, of beer, soaps, glycerine oil, paper, glass, and perfume, how high must industrial technique have stood in the motherland Atlantis.

If the anthropologist shows that the German is the born farmer and gardener, animal breeder and plant breeder, it is believable what Plato says of the high development of agriculture and gardening on Atlantis. The breeding of domestic animals flowered there, especially of the noble horse. Not for nothing is Poseidon pictured driving as lord god on a war chariot spanned with horses. On a stadium in the holy city of the Atlantic lord and king, horse races were held after Plato. Various grains, especially maize, then the potato that comes from Peru, and further the banana, may be a breeding of the Atlantic Germans. The bananas seem to have something to say toward solving the Atlantic riddle. Breeding them to their present seedlessness surely took long stretches. Since the banana can then be multiplied only by cuttings, can it have been transplanted from Africa to America? That is excluded, for at the discovery of America one already found the banana, and Negroes are no plant breeders. The matter is the other way. The banana was bred on Atlantis and introduced from there into the Atlantic colonies America and Africa. So on Atlantis were found our best useful plants, including potato, vine, banana, coconut, fruit tree, and oranges, the golden apples of the Hesperides. Atlantis had become the culture garden of the old world and the mother of our culture.

Plato tells us there was an admirable royal power on Atlantis. In this strange state there was already writing in ancient time. It was a picture writing, as in the Atlantic colonies Egypt, Sumer, China, and Mexico. In the Mexican and Hittite picture writing and in the Maya manuscripts we can perhaps still see remains of those scripts. It is not excluded that the rune script also came up later, for the invention of the runes is ascribed by the Edda to Odin, when he hung nine long nights on the windy tree, wounded by the spear. The Portuguese archaeological finds teach that Strabo’s report of a picture writing used in Spain, over 6,000 years old, has a very high degree of probability. After the Egyptian priests there was a highly developed school system on Atlantis. Indian secret writings speak of great libraries on Atlantis. One wrote on animal skins. He cites Blavatsky II, 731. After the reports of the Wieland saga, Richter, Götter und Helden, Leipzig, and the corresponding Greek sagas, which agree with the Atlantic reports in the Bible, the art of flight was also known to the Aryan culture bearers on Atlantis, and namely gliding flight.

Trade and traffic kept pace with industry. The settlement lay literally, as the Bible says, in the midst of the sea on the many waters and in the midst of the earth. Numerous waterways led to the islands in the midst of the sea, to the islands of the heathen, and to Central America, Europe, and Africa. A lively barter set in. Raw products of every kind streamed into Atlantis. The merchant fleet grew into a giant thing. Twelve thousand warships, with a fleet admiral, provided after Plato’s report for safety on Atlantis, on the sea, and in the far countries. I note the earlier figure, 1,200 triremes, and I do not reconcile them. The two giant fleets found safe protection in the three water rings that enclosed the Asen city. At the harbors the wealth of the merchant lords from all countries piled up. The giant city, provided after Plato with temples, palaces, harbors, shipyards, holy groves, and schools of every kind, ringed with shining bronze walls, crossed by shimmering canals, and overtopped by the golden shining Asenburg, must in the ornament of its palm gardens have given a magically beautiful picture, with snow-covered giant mountains and burning volcanoes for a background. Its merchant fleet landed, to judge from ancient traditions and records, on the coasts of the Mediterranean, Africa, India, America, and Lemuria. A vivid description of the world trading city, its wealth, its traffic through the whole world, and its fleet is given by Ezekiel 27, Revelation 18 and 21, and Isaiah 41. Psalm 87 also refers to the Atlantic capital. It is strange that one had overlooked that these biblical descriptions do not fit Tyre in Phoenicia and Babylon on the Euphrates at all. The hint of the city in the midst of the sea and by the many islands, and the extremely rich trade, can refer only to Babylon on Atlantis. The falsifiers were so careless as to leave standing the very places most probative for Atlantis. If the Bohuslän pictures tell us that the Scandinavian Germans already 200,000 years ago possessed stately, strongly built rowing ships calculated for 90 men, and with them circumnavigated the whole earth in bold Viking voyages, after Wendrin, then we need no longer hold Plato’s shining description for a product of poetic imagination. The Egyptian priests, supported on their ancient libraries, from which the Bible probably comes in largest part, told him historical facts. The traditions of the Chaldeans and the Central Americans agree that white gods came to them out of the sea, out of Atlantis, and brought them culture.

The history of development shows the same biological laws everywhere, and so does the history of the Aryan settlements. With the development of trade and industry the culture of the Atlanteans took the same false direction as that of the Aryan states of the present. Trading and industrial states carry the germ of decay. Agrarian states last forever. The lust for gold and wealth is ruinous. It leads to the striving to rule other lands and peoples, and so lays the ground for incessant fights for world power and for race mixing. The knowledge of the ruinous effect of gold runs like a red thread through the Nibelung saga. Atlantis too sought to widen its political power. After Plato, and after Isaiah 41 and 42 and the Revelation chapter he numbers 27, Atlantis commanded many other islands and parts of the mainland. Besides, its power reached over Libya as far as Egypt, and in Europe as far as Italy and Sumer. The priests at Sais told Solon that Atlantis once tried to subject prehistoric Greece. But Greece became the noble liberator for all lands inside the gates of the Mediterranean. Atlantis may have had about the position of world-ruling Rome and of sea-mighty England. It was the center for the whole world. Its threatening war fleet, with the lion and the eagle, ruled all seas. The streaming in of mixed people and lower-race people from the colonies, and the slave economy, necessarily worsened the Aryan race on Atlantis, as among all seafaring nations, and this circumstance shaped its further fate with the force of natural law. The history of a people’s race mixing is at the same time its political history.

One prehistoric world culture

Section 25, pages 97 to 109, is the likeness of the old buildings, and the claim that one catastrophe cut them off. Compare the cultures of the states of the earth and one finds a Germanic stamp more or less everywhere. Germanic technique, art, and science have made their victory march over the whole world. In a certain sense one may speak of a Germanic world culture in the present. In a higher degree one may speak of a prehistoric Germanic Atlantic world culture. Compare the culture and art of the old culture peoples in America, Hither Asia, Egypt, Etruria, and Iberia, and the digs confirm it. Thousands of years before the culture we know of the old world, a culture was already there that bears thoroughly common traits and points to a common culture center, or to culture bearers of the same race, and that an Aryan one. The highest culture was always created only by Aryans. With the running out of Aryan blood, that culture too disappeared. All anthropologists have long been clear about that. He names Woltmann, Gobineau, Otto Hauser, Penka, Much, Lanz-Liebenfels, and Wilser. After Fr. Röck, in the communications of the anthropological society at Vienna, calendar, star belief, and world pictures of the Toltecs let one recognize an unbroken connection of intellectual culture between West, Central, East, and South Asia on the one side and old Mexico on the other.

The art buildings of ancient time in Central America, in Mexico, Yucatan, Honduras, Peru, Egypt, and Chaldea point to an extraordinarily high age and bear the same traits, the same building style, and the same art forms. He quotes Gronau: in several districts of Mexico, Yucatan, Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua we find ruins which in form and beauty can boldly stand beside proud Thebes and splendid Persepolis, and have comparable counterparts in only a few districts of the old world. Ornaments on some temples at Chichen Itza in Yucatan, which recall elephant heads, give rise to the guess that the buildings stand in connection with Indian ones, or come from a time when the mammoth still lived in America. The same is suggested by the prehistoric finds in North America. In the old buildings of the lowest culture layers in Sumer and at Mycenae one finds the same Aryan northern meander and spiral forms as in the ancient palace and temple ruins of America. Remains of mighty step pyramids everywhere point to one thought, and to their common model, the stepped heaven hill on Atlantis. The American pyramids are built on the same canon of proportion as the Egyptian. The measures used are the same. The temple at Palenque carries in various places the astronomical cross of the Egyptians and the Egyptian ankh, which the Egyptian gods carried in the hand and which was laid on the breast of the Egyptian dead. The cross is also on the Atlantic statues of Easter Island, in Central Asia, and in pre-Christian Sweden. He cites Blavatsky II, 58. In 1923 various pyramids were newly discovered, a whole number with stone sculptures together on the Marieta islands, and a pyramid 35 meters (114.83 feet) high, a masterpiece of old building, near the city of Mexico, buried under a hill of volcanic ash. In the Mexican province he prints Sanora, a pyramid of 1,450 meters (4757 feet) circumference of ground, 14 hectares, and 50 meters (164.04 feet) high was found in the midst of the primeval forest. It is clothed, like the Egyptian ones, with smoothed granite plates. The pyramids in Egypt, Mexico, Yucatan, and Peru are even alike in the inner arrangement of passages and rooms. In British Honduras, Mitchell Hedge found a pyramid 300 feet (91 meters) high in the midst of a ruin city. In 1924 the same traveler, with the archaeologist Dr. Gann, discovered in the interior of British Honduras the ruins of an ancient city covering several square miles. Over the valley a stone pyramid 3,000 feet (914 meters) high rises. In the Inca realm obelisks were also found, and among the Mayas metal bells. Figures in the temple at Palenque even have an Indian look. Neither technically nor methodically do the works of the Mayas differ from the works of the classical lands. He cites Dr. Kaufmann, Amerika und Urchristentum, Munich. Hebrew and Aztec writing have likenesses.

In the lowest culture layers in Sumer and Egypt, tools of iron are found. If iron tools in these lands demonstrably came into use only in historical time, where did those tools in the lowest layers come from? The fact points with all definiteness to a past earlier culture, suddenly and wholly destroyed by some catastrophe, so that the culture of mankind had to be built up anew. In the first culture layers at Mycenae and in Asia Minor and Greece, mighty cyclopean buildings show themselves, strangely of the same plan as the cyclopean buildings in Central America, made in a way often inexplicable to the technician. Long before the Inca time, giant cyclopean works were found in Peru, as at Mycenae. When the Incas pressed conquering onto the high plain at Lake Titicaca, they were struck in the highest degree by the giant buildings of Tiahuanaco. They could not explain by what technical means such monuments had been raised. The grandeur of the ruins of Tiahuanaco is remarkable for the great number of monoliths, stones up to 12 meters (39.37 feet) long and up to 4,000 hundredweight, standing at regular intervals, recalling the ruins of Stonehenge. He cites Gronau, page 81. It is also inexplicable to the modern technician how the builders of that unknown culture people could use stones for their giant works of which many a one weighs 2,000 to 3,000 hundredweight. One comes unawares to the conclusion that the technicians of that sunk culture world had succeeded in lifting gravity, and that physical laws were known to them which we do not know. Lübke comes to the judgment that old Germanic art, at the passage from the stone age to the bronze age, suffered a violent sudden end. He cites Die Kunst des Altertums, page 13, Stuttgart 1904.

All the buildings of that old culture period are covered with a picture writing not yet deciphered, which possesses a surprising likeness in Central America, in Hither Asia, and among the Sumerians. It must surprise one that 13 letters of the Maya alphabet show the clearest relations to 13 Egyptian hieroglyphs for the same letter, and that the speech of the Mayas of Yucatan is one third pure Greek. One ascribes the picture writings to the Mayas, Toltecs, Aztecs, Incas, the Hittites, and the Sumerians. It is to be assumed that that strange picture writing comes from the Atlantic culture period, was taken over by the peoples named, and was only developed further by the Sumerians and the Egyptians. In the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio plains are found the mound builders, the figure he prints as 13.00, mostly artificial holy terraced hills or step pyramids from the copper age, the period of the Atlanteans. They show a strange likeness to the terraced holy hills raised in Germany in Atlantic time and to the Egyptian and German step pyramids, and they are provided with underground passages and grave chambers just like the heaven hill on Atlantis. Research on those mound builders has shown that they reach down an extraordinarily far time, perhaps 100,000 years and more, and that their builders had to leave them suddenly, probably because of a catastrophe. If one recalls that the fall of Atlantis called forth a quite enormous flood wave that ran around the whole globe, and that for weeks cloudbursts visited the Atlantic and the neighboring lands, the conclusion lies very near that the doubtless Atlantic Aryan colony in the plain of North America was destroyed at that catastrophe. It is striking that after the discovery of America, people with red-brown hair and blue eyes were found among the Ohio and Dakota Indians, perhaps still degenerate remains of an Aryan Atlantic colonist population. Survivals of the latter are perhaps also the white-skinned giant Indians discovered in 1920 by Dr. Rice in the mountains at the sources of the Amazon, whose speech is quite different from that of other Indians. Schliemann is said to have found works of art from Atlantis in his digs. That one really has to reckon with a very old culture that once existed is proved by the digs of Sir Evans on Crete. The last culture layer of the hill on which old Knossos lay, already containing finely painted clay vessels, is estimated by him at 9,000 years. The history of Mycenae also lets one think of that catastrophe. Already before the period one calls Mycenaean, a culture is found that cannot be ascribed to the Greeks of antiquity but to another people. Today we know this people. It is the Atlantic Aryans. Extended palace complexes of every kind, with rich ornament of wall paintings, unroll before our eye, the picture of an astonishing culture and an art full of sharp observation of nature and high skill. Some terrible catastrophe must have given it a sudden end. He cites Lübke, page 115. We know the catastrophe. It is the fall of Atlantis. Lübke also says a foreign trait appears in these monuments, which makes the nationality of the people a much disputed question.

It is most strange that the old palace ruins of Central America, with their meanders, coffer and staff ornaments, and the extremely picturesque look of their facades, unawares recall certain buildings of the old Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Most striking is the perfectly like construction of the Egyptian and Central American temple gates. Only in the middle of 1923 two temples were again discovered in a primeval forest on a Mexican island, which look confusingly like the old Egyptian temples. Among the ruins of Mitla the head of Isis was found. Ornaments with column capitals in the temple ruins there are strikingly like those of Dendera in Egypt. Yucatan is the Egypt of the old world. It contains more than forty giant cities with ruins of splendid temples and palaces. Here one is dealing with old Atlantic culture, presumably destroyed by the giant flood wave that arose at the fall of Atlantis, like the mound builders. Even the most untaught man must here see the thought of an ancient world culture, resting on racial community and destroyed by a sudden catastrophe. At Lake Titicaca in Peru the conquering Incas found grave towers with niches and chambers in which bodies were laid, standing together in groups of 20 to 100. It is strange that such towers are also found elsewhere, in Iberia, Sardinia, and Asia Minor. One can see the effort to bury the bodies of respected persons as in the heaven hill on Atlantis.

All the buildings of that Aryan culture period of prehistory point to sun worship, which lasted in the cult of the old cultures. In the Atlantic temples, after Plato, giant sun disks of pure gold were set up as the symbol of the sun. Sun disks were also found in the old Egyptian temples, in the pre-Christian north German ones, and in the Central American ones. He cites Wigalois, Der Tempel von Rethra, Berlin. The successors of the Atlantic culture bearers in Central America took over the custom. Cortes robbed a golden sun disk the size of a wagon wheel from a Central American temple. For the undeniable connection of the Atlantic European culture with the Germanic in prehistoric time, these facts also speak. Both in America, for example at Lake Titicaca in the Inca state, and in northern Europe in the land of the Germans, peculiar stone circles are found, meant for astronomical observations and made after the prehistoric length measure of the foot, 16 feet (4.88 meters) equaling 4.616 meters (15.14 feet). These stone circles, as specialists have long proved for Stonehenge and Avebury in England and for Odry near Danzig, are a sort of stone calendar. Can anyone believe the like build in both continents is accidental? At the conquest of Mexico an Aztec calendar stone of 420 hundredweight was found, now walled into the cathedral at Mexico. It divides the year into 18 months of 20 days, with 5 intercalary days added, and he prints the sum as 16 times 20 and 23 and 22, equaling 365 days. It stands behind neither the Julian nor the Gregorian calendar in accuracy. How is it that the stone circles of Odry near Danzig, which arose at the end of the younger stone age and the beginning of the bronze age, show the same time division as that Mexican calendar stone? The prehistoric connection of the two cultures is not to be denied. He points to Kosmos, 1913, 1915, 1916, and 1921, and to Gronau. Very probably the puzzling finds on Easter Island in the Pacific also stand in connection with the Atlantic question and can be solved only through it and with it.

Easter Island is without doubt a remnant of the larger sunk continent Lemuria, or of the realm Rapa-nui. There too, as in the Inca states, are found mighty cyclopean walls and terraces, piled of stones often of several tons. Their purpose seems inexplicable, and still more puzzling the way the giant stones were fetched from great distances and brought into the right position. As at old Peruvian cyclopean works, the giant stones are not bound with mortar but, recalling the temples of Stonehenge, pegged and so skillfully fitted that they lie close and form a firm whole. On the giant terraces, statues of several hundred hundredweight were set up in groups of four. They are on average as high as a house. The largest is 80 feet (24.38 meters) and still lies in the quarry. The long faces have a noble nose, a well-rounded chin, and a spiritualized type that recalls the Aryan, and in no way the Negro or the Papuan. It is very striking that the statues are adorned with the Aryan cross. How does the ancient Aryan federal sign come onto these statues? A mighty work of art was to be created and was never finished. Of 500 statues hardly a third was set up. Many still lie in the quarries. Many are scattered over the island, as if their transport had been suddenly interrupted. The walls of the existing, very strange buildings, many thousands of years old, and also the walls of the quarries, show strange hieroglyphs, wall paintings, and geometric drawings that point to a picture writing, undecipherable as in prehistoric Europe and America, and, like that culture, the product of one and the same race, presumably the Aryan race that once ruled Atlantis. Strangest is this. Faces only sketched in the quarry rock and not cut out, and half-finished and wholly finished statues lying around, tell of a terrible moment in which sculptors and workers flung away their tools. What terrible catastrophe had broken in and unexpectedly interrupted the giant work? Presumably the sudden fall of Atlantis, or of the mainland of which Easter Island formed a part, whose great people, standing at a high culture stage, died a gruesome death, except for a remnant, later died out, that fled to the peaks of the mountains, the present Easter Island.

If one wants to solve the question of the origin and the connection of that old culture, suddenly changed by a strange catastrophe, one must consult anthropology. It says, with the weight of natural law, that like culture and like art forms presuppose like race. At that sunk culture, with its holy hills, ring-wall works, stone circles, monoliths, pyramids, and terraced hills, meanders, spirals, coffer and staff ornaments, one can only be dealing with Aryans, and that oldest inexplicable culture comes without doubt from the time of the Atlantic Aryans and was suddenly interrupted in its further development by the fall of Atlantis. The art forms carried further, distorted, and brought to rigidity by the American, Hither Asian, and Egyptian mixed peoples still let one guess a height of that Aryan culture that sets us in astonishment. If the anthropologist establishes that the Egyptians represented their gods, the Asen, with an Aryan body, if the Central American culture peoples call white, bearded men the bringers of their culture, and if the Vedas designate the Indian gods as blond and blue-eyed, then the Germanic origin of the creators of the Atlantic culture is not to be doubted. The Bohuslän picture writings confirm it. The claim of an Aryan Germanic culture on Atlantis and in the Atlantic colonies, especially in Central America, receives a further support in the fact that after the discovery of America, remains of a white Germanic population were seen and described. White Indians have often been seen in South and Central America, also in Alaska. In 1924 the American research expedition Marsh succeeded, on the isthmus he prints Darica, Panama, in discovering a mysterious blond-haired and blue-eyed Indian race of tender white skin covered with white down, of which one had fabled for centuries without being able to establish its existence. At the same time the expedition found the traces of an ancient civilization. In these white Indians one may see remains of the Aryan culture race from Atlantis-America. What terrible catastrophe may have roared over their people and their culture, destroying everything.

Driven out of paradise

Section 26, pages 109 to 113, reads Genesis 3 as a law that closed Eden to the mixed. All political events on Atlantis are the natural-law consequences of rapidly increasing race mixing, which the old Atlanteans, in clear knowledge of its people-destroying and state-destroying effect, forbade most strictly, but in vain. He points to the Indian race laws of Manu and the race laws of Joshua, Joshua 23:12 and 13, and the close of the commandments. The biblical saga of the expulsion from paradise may be a description of a historical event on Atlantis after the world fire. In that description, Genesis 2:22 as he numbers it, the word “our kind” must not drop out. God does not say Adam has become like “I,” but like “our kind.” A plurality of beings of equal rank is meant. “Equal to God” were only the white, shining Aryans. They were the children of God, of the Goths, in the Bible, Genesis 6:1-2, beings of a higher kind. The children of men lived like animals, without culture and without knowledge of it, ruled by animal drives, animal in behavior, look, and being. The peoples standing deepest, the African and Australian Negroes, the dwarf peoples in Africa, and some Mongolian peoples, still recall these ape-like human animals. Instead of the high Asen brow they had a low brow with hair grown in. Dark round eyes recalled animal eyes, their cannibalism the life of beasts of prey. They showed no trace of religion and culture. To the Aias they naturally appeared as animals. The Indian Aryans called the natives, shortly, apes. The lower race are therefore called, against the Aryan children of God, simply men in Genesis 6, or in Revelation beasts, monsters, and heathen. The Aias, by blood mixing, infused into them what gradually lifted them above the animal. To their own harm, for the lower race that arose is by natural law the death enemy of everything higher. The Edda pictures it thus. Three mighty mild Asen went from the assembly, found on the shore, all-powerful, Ask and Embla, without destiny. They possessed neither soul nor sense, nor blood, nor motion, nor blooming color. Odin gave soul, Hoenir gave sense, Lodur gave blood and blooming color. The sense he gives is this. When the Asen came from the northland to Atlantis they found on the shores man-like creatures, whom they called Ask and Embla. They brought them the benefits of culture and, by race mixing, first made of them a somewhat more than animal humankind with a fairer face and skin. Among the various Indian tribes of North and South America and the Negro peoples of Africa one can trace exactly in what degree Aryan blood has entered them. The slave economy of the Aias, usual in the whole antiquity, and the trade in the world city, made race crossing unavoidable.

Some of the mixed became like the Aryans. They looked like “our kind.” They also treated themselves as equals of the Aias, moved in the city quarters meant for the Aias alone, and even went into the Asen garden forbidden to the lower race. The attempt to seduce or rape Asen daughters may, despite the strict laws on race breeding, not have been rare. It helped them that high-race women quite often throw themselves away on the lower race. They even dared to eat of the tree of life, as if they belonged to the Asen. Then God, the highest Ase, thought of driving Adam and Eve, that is a mixed man named Adam and the Asen daughter Eve who followed the worse hand, out of paradise. A law was issued that forbade all lower-race and mixed people access to Eden and Asgard, and even drove out the women and children who had fallen to the worse hand. In future only those who wore the sign of God and of Aryan descent on the forehead, the Aryan swastika, might live on Eden and Asgard. He cites Revelation 7:2-3. Offenders were to be thrown into the crater after Revelation 14:9-11. In Germany too, the foreign-race were forbidden the holy hills on pain of death. He cites Wigalois on the temple of Rethra. A guard was set over Asgard and Eden. The Ase Heimdall was the commander. The Edda hints the ban in Gylfaginning. The rime thurses and mountain giants, the mixed, would climb heaven if everyone who wanted could go over Bifröst. Heimdall, in Loki’s wrangling, was given a hateful fate in the ancient time: with a wet back he must stand at night and watch Walhall. The Grimnir lay knows five hundred and forty gates in Walhall, and eight hundred Einherjar go out of each at once when it is time to fight Fenrir. At the great use of men in the Aryan fight, the Atlantic government took its bodyguards from other Aryan lands or from the colonies, and after Ezekiel 27 from Persia, Lud, and Lydia, and especially also from Arvad. They thereby showed those peoples the secrets of their power and their treasures, which in the sequel led to destroying fights of these peoples against Atlantis itself. The same course came later, by natural law, in the Roman empire, and must show itself in England. At the entrances to Asgard a sort of cannon was set up, whose working was described in the previous section. He cites Revelation 9, 13, and 19, and Psalms 11 and 18. Revolt of the lower race on Atlantis was, after Revelation and after natural law, nothing rare. Their leaders were, as still always in the fights of the lower race against Germans, Aryanized mixed people. Compare the Greek saga, the war of the Titans.

The fallen Asen daughter Eve had a special punishment after the Bible. She was to bear children with pain. Birth in marriages of the same kind goes easily and without pain. In race-mixing marriages it is full of danger for the high-race woman. The lower-race man was to be her lord. Will-less, she was to be subjected to a heartless sensual tyrant and be his slave, while with the Aryan, who honors the woman as a higher being, she was the equal lady and companion. The lower race were to eat their bread in the sweat of their face, that is they were subjected more strongly, had to do slave service again, and till the field for the Aryans. The animal-men, once one had recognized how dangerous their up-crossing had become for the Aryans, were to be left in their animal state. They were to eat earth again as before. Earth eating is a custom among some Indian and Negro tribes. They were to crawl on the belly henceforth, that is remain in the posture of the ape-like human animal, which does not have the beautiful upright gait of the Aryans. God, the highest Ase, set enmity between them and the Aryans, since their love of the animals and of the human animals was ill repaid. An Aryan, Baldur, will tread the snake on the head, that is root out the lower race. She will sting him in the heel, that is animal blood will enter the Asen family and wound it. After the rock pictures of Bohuslän, the expulsion from paradise was the expulsion of the Hebrews, a mixed people, from Atlantis. That agrees with the researches of the learned Nuremberg city librarian Ghillany, whose book he here dates Nuremberg 1842, having earlier said Braunschweig 1842. So it is also explained how they came to the ancient reports from Atlantis in the Bible, and to the Bible falsifications.

The fall of Asgard

Section 27, pages 114 to 119, is the Edda’s twilight of the gods as the revolution that ends the Asen rule, and Daniel’s kingdom as the priest state that follows. The Edda reports the fall of Asgard. The gods, the Asen, with Odin at their head, were the maintainers of the universe. As long as they continue, the sum of all things lasts. For protection against Loki and the giants they have Asgard walled and the Bifröst bridge sharply watched. Loki’s three children are burned, and he is fettered. But the fall of Asgard cannot be held back. Great wars will rage, heavy sufferings strike men, poverty and unchastity rule, and an age of wolves and axes will come. The wolf Fenris gets free from a magic grotto and goes about with jaws open. He calls the Midgard snake to the fight against Asgard. Muspel’s sons come riding out of their world, and from the south comes King Surt. The sons of the fire world draw toward the plain Wigrid on the Idafeld, and the last fight with the Asen begins. Heimdall blows the Gjallarhorn. The Asen wake, arm, and ride with the brave army of the Einherjar out of the many hundred gates of Walhall, Odin at the head with the golden spear and harness, in his hand the never-failing lance Gungnir. The Fenris wolf hurls himself on Thor. Thor is struck down by Surt. All the Asen fall, except Widar and Wali. Surt pours fire over the earth and Asgard burns. The Troy saga reports something like it. It too was originally a report of the fall of Atlantis and was then mixed with the later fights of the Greeks against Ilion, Troy.

The historical course, corresponding to the Edda picture, shaped itself about thus. Race symbiosis produced an ever greater mixing, favored by industry and trade, as still everywhere in the industrial states. The lower race increased visibly after Mendel’s rules. The number of the Aias crumbled. Their race purity lessened, since animal blood had flowed into them when the snake stung them in the heel. Through the mixing arose violent men, tyrants, giants, Titans, Giganten, who wanted to seize the political rule and with it the wealth of the state. He quotes the seeress’s vision: it ferments among the giants, the sound of the old Gjallarhorn announces the end, Heimdall blows bright, the horn juts up, Odin murmurs with Mimir’s head, Yggdrasil’s trunk stands trembling, the tree-old one rustles, the giant gets loose. From the mouth of the mixed went unclean spirits like frogs, spirits of the devils and of darkness. They spoke blasphemies against the Asen and their holy name, against the ruling Aryan race, against all who dwell in heaven, and stirred the proletariat against the possessing Aryan race. He cites Revelation 13:6 and 16:15. The Asen were continually involved in wars against the rebels in the provinces. As always in world history, mixed men were the leaders of the lower-race Fenris wolf, as for example Attila among the Huns. The Greek saga of the war of Zeus against the Titans and giants is a historical memory of those fights. With the mixing grew selfishness, sensual enjoyment, mammonism, and unchastity. The mixed man always inherits the bad qualities of his parents. Asen tried to halt the wildness by wise laws. The stream of disaster could no longer be dammed. He quotes the Edda again: brothers fight and bring each other death, brothers’ sons break the clan, the world is wicked, adultery terrible, not one will spare the other.

Already then the racial and therefore economic difference of the estates was used to stir the people. Great beasts and false prophets, gifted power-hungry mixed men, burrowed secretly and openly against the state order, against the monarchy and the social Aryan constitution, threw themselves up as alleged defenders of human rights and general human dignity, preached equality and general freedom, and demanded the death of the Asen and the Aias, especially the death of the clever Ase Baldur. Mixed blood had also entered the royal families, spoiled their character, killed the feeling of belonging with the Aias, and raised ugly selfishness. This showed especially in Loki, the high priest on Atlantis, who was married to a giantess, a descendant of a mixed man, and had three mixed children. Loki, in a way that betrayed the fatherland, sought only his own goal, and that goal was nothing less than the expulsion of the Asen, the rule of the Atlantic state, and its conversion into a priest state, a church state. With the cunning of the Vanir he scented that he could reach his plans only if he leaned on the people, flattered them, and for appearance’s sake paid homage to the democratic phrases of general equality and freedom. Loki was the first priest democrat. His ever growing party flattered the lowest instincts, sought to weaken the fatherland’s power to defend itself, and to stir the people against the princes. He cites Loki’s wrangling in the Edda. The clever Baldur sees through the game and has him taken prisoner. He quotes the seeress: bound he saw, in the spring wood, the body of Loki the cunning. But the weed seed comes up. Loki’s helpers carry his work further. The Spartacist communist poison eats deeper, and the Fenris wolf opens his jaws greedily for the Asen, demands the removal of the kingship and the destruction of the Asen, the Aryan aristocracy, and the bourgeoisie. To the horror of the Asen, Loki escapes his fetters. Now the baiting of the heroic race begins in earnest. The Asen and Aryans, who were Aryan and free-minded against the state religion that was becoming more heathen out of regard for the lower race, are suspected as godless and anti-religious, as people who by their free-religious mind called down the revenge of heaven. To the proletarian slogan of freedom and equality was joined the ancient slogan of a selfish priest caste and a fanatically whipped-up crowd. So Loki won the mass of the people. With that alone he did not trust himself to overthrow the Asen rule, which rested on a well-organized military power. He sought allies. Into the whole world he sent his messengers with glittering gold and shining offers. Most of the helper bands he recruited in the east, from the Atlantic colonies in North Africa and in the lands of the Mediterranean, from which part of the Atlantic mercenaries and the Aryan bodyguard also came, Ezekiel 27:10, and from the south, that is from North and West Africa. He quotes the seeress on Hrym from the east, the snake, Naglfar, a keel from the north, Hel’s people, Loki steering, and Surt from the south with scorching glow.

The war fleets in the colonies are stirred to revolt. Loki’s sons and their own Aryan kin are won against the tribal brothers. From all continents the false Atlantic pope fetched the hosts to get Asgard into his hands. The day of the Atlantic world war drew near. The keels came from the east, a dragon rose from the sea, that is a mighty war fleet appeared in the roadstead of the Atlantic Babylon, probably also Viking ships with dragon beaks and dragon sails. That was the sign for the rising of the lower-race mountain peoples and of the proletariat. The startled Asen hurry to the fight, called by Heimdall’s army horn Gjallar. The bridge Bifröst breaks under the weight of the fighters. On the Wigrid field the main battle is decided. The Asen fall except for Odin’s favorite son Widar. The gold-shining, ore-girded Asenburg is stormed. Surt sets fire to it. Heaven goes up in flame, and Troy, the city of spear-mighty Priam, who is Odin, stands in flames. The treasure chambers of King Priam, filled with gold and ore, his countless herds of sheep, cattle, and horses, became the prey of the booty-greedy enemies. A terrible bloodbath follows in the whole city, a St. Bartholomew’s night, and in the land. Aryan children were smashed in the streets, Aryan girls divided as booty among the animal war hordes and proletarians, and the leaders of the Aias, so far as they stayed alive, laid in chains. He cites Nahum 3:10. Whoever could flee, fled. The Troy saga reports the flight of an Aryan prince Aeneas, ancestor of the Asen, into the Ida mountains. The description in Ezekiel 12:11-16 agrees. On the fall of Asgard and of the gods, a teaching of the Buddhist Brahmans points, after which the gods do not remain eternal but, after a series of years, perish with the world and sink back into the original being. After old Indian writings, Atlanteans also fled to India under the leadership of the great old adepts, one of whom was Vaivasvata Manu. He cites Blavatsky II, 443, and Genzmer’s Edda, Jena 1920.

Too late the foolish masses, the blind Hödur, who had helped the Jesuit Loki, saw how blindly they had betrayed their fatherland. They received the just reward. World history knows nothing new. Because the events are natural-law consequences of race mixing, they are always the same. As France in the Huguenot wars and in the great French Revolution lost its best Aryan blood, so Atlantis in the world war and in the revolution about 12,500 years ago. The Aryan rule was destroyed. The unscrupulous Loki triumphed, as Lenin and Trotsky after the wiping out of the Aryan layer in Russia. Loki’s allies were paid off with rich booty, the spokesmen of the proletarians with lucrative state posts, and the priest’s helpers with Asen estates. The Asenburg was built new. A new burg and city and a new temple, described at length in Ezekiel 40 to 48, arose from the ash. Loki and his priestly helpers seized the rule and set up the Atlantic priest state, the church state, about 3,500 years after the world fire and about 1,000 years before the fall of the mighty city in the midst of the sea. This strictly organized priest state the Bible calls, in Daniel 2:44, the kingdom God will raise from heaven in the time of such kingdoms. Revelation 20 calls this alleged kingdom of God the thousand-year kingdom of God on earth, that is on the Idafeld. As with us and in Russia the proletarians made long faces when the rule of the false prophets began, so on Atlantis. The priesthood ruled as dictator with unlimited fullness of power and the bloodiest severity. After Revelation 20 it bound the old snake, that is it forced the lower race into the old position of bondage, and went with the greatest ruthlessness against those who did not submit. Whoever resisted the priestly prescriptions was thrown into Tartarus, the fiery pool, that is straight into the crater.

Only by a terror rule and by stupefying the people could the priests keep their tyranny. To divert the people from revolts they made wars against foreign lands and sought to subject the mighty settlements of the culture world of that time, as Plato reports. They had to cut the people’s education. The priests set themselves on the chairs of the Asen, and their highest, the Atlantic pope, had himself honored by the stupid crowd as a mighty god. Ezekiel’s report, and he prints the name Aasaki-els, is plainly written by an eyewitness. After Ezekiel 1 to 4 this man visited Atlantis himself, was led about, and also saw the Atlantic priest god, the pope, sitting on the All-father’s chair. Ezekiel was to draw the new priest city of brick there, Ezekiel 4:1, and go into the Atlantic colonies and call them to loyalty. The people, raised in ignorance and in fear of gruesome gods, could bear the iron fist of the Atlantic pope only with difficulty. As in the Roman church state, revolt followed revolt, and the priests were at last beaten with the same weapons with which they had destroyed the monarchy and the Aryan constitution. Leaders of the people called foreign peoples to help, and again the Idafeld saw the armies of the whole world gathered on its flowering fields around the beloved city of God. The heathen at the four ends of the earth, and Gog and Magog at the North Sea and the Baltic, in number like the sand of the sea, drew up on the breadth of the earth and ringed the camp of the holy ones and the beloved city. Ezekiel 38 and 39 report the fights with Gog and Magog in the midst of the earth on the great day of Armageddon, which he prints Hermagedon. After Ezekiel 39 the strangers must have suffered a terrible defeat. After Plato’s report, old Athenians also took part. Neither party could enjoy the victory, for both were surprised, after the agreeing reports of the ancients, by the fall of Atlantis, and only a few will have escaped the earthquake.

The robber state

Section 28, pages 120 to 128, is a separate invasion story, dated by him about 60,000 years ago, and it is the section in which his racial abuse is thickest. I will keep the names, places, and the date, and not carry his insults forward as if they were evidence. The people of Atlantis, the bastards of animal-man and children of the sun, Theos, of the lower race and of Germans, became evil from youth up. Intelligent red beasts arose through the Germanic blood inflow. When the reds and the other colored people had seized the rule, the culture state Atlantis became a robber state, as in historical time, through the predominance of dark blood, Carthage, Phoenicia, Rome, England, and France. The priests at Sais told Plato that Atlantis made raiding marches to the east, to Europe, and to Greece several times. Irish sagas tell that inhabitants of an island lying westward also pressed Germany hard and were at last beaten by the Germans. Of the eastern Iberians, who boasted a past 6,000 years old, the Greek Strabo tells that they made the enormous wandering from the end of the world to Europe. This is the break-in of the red race into Europe. One of the Atlantic army kings seems to have been Poseidon, of whom Greek saga reports. His picture is often found on ancient coins. That he came everywhere on his bold sea voyages is proved, Wieland says, by his army sign, the trident, being found in all lands of the Mediterranean, even in India and Mexico. Plainly he fought with reds against Germans. Sven Hedin found his sign even at Lop Nor in Asia. The mighty ruins of cities in Central and South America and the mound builders of North America tell that America-Atlantis in far prehistoric time possessed enormous, mostly red, masses of peoples. He cites Gronau. After Plato, Atlantis alone had 60 million before the sinking. At overpopulation these masses had to move, and they flooded Africa, Asia, and Europe in wild raiding marches. For anyone who has learned to think in race history, he says, it is certain that these marches were raids of the worst kind, and that the leaders carried a higher percentage of Germanic blood than the great mass. Germanic mixed blood always had the leadership in the fights of the lower race against the Germans. He recalls the leaders of the Romans, Mongols, Huns, and Czechs, who after Otto Hauser, Politik und Rasse, were Germanic mixed men.

E. Beta, with great industry, brought the proofs that the Atlantean Americans really made destroying raids to Africa, Asia, and Europe. The strangers came in part from Tarshish, to which belonged Thule, Toltec land, Uphas, and Ophis, the land with the sign of the snake. In cuneiform the land was called Amuru. The reddish man-eating Mangbetu in Africa, whom he prints Mangbattu, and other Negro tribes may still be looked on as descendants of the intruders. Egypt was repeatedly hard visited by the red scoundrels, his word. Colored wall paintings in old Egyptian buildings give the black-haired redskins in true color. Some tribes of the red robber bands are found again in the present Jews and Gypsies. He says the proofs are in Gunnar Sungaard, also printed Gunar, Das jüdische Staatsgeheimnis. He lists the same traits in Indians and Jews, and a New York crime percentage I will not repeat. After Beta a giant army march went out from North Africa, with Negroes and Asians mixed in, over Italy, then still joined to Africa before the flood that arose at the capture of the present moon, to Germany, which then embraced all Europe. Burned forests and cities announced that the wild army of the Aztec Atlanteans was on the warpath. Beta still derives the woodless places of Italy from that. Their totem was the dragon and the snake, both mentioned in the Bible, in Revelation and in the paradise report. Saga still speaks of the wild army of these beasts, as they are called in the ancient Sibylline books. They housed more horribly than their cousins the Huns and Mongols. Forests and houses went up in flame. Women and girls were raped. Blond-locked children were sacrificed, eaten, or burned alive as burnt offerings, after the old Indian, Mexican, and Hebrew rite, in honor of the Indian god he prints as Jahowa-Jehova, devil, so as to obtain long life. He cites the commandment as I Moses 11:20, another of his verse numbers. The chief mark of these Atlantean Hebrews was bloody human sacrifice and cannibalism. Their ceremonies were raw and cruel. Their so-called sacrificial meals were gruesome cannibalism, as still today in their secret societies in America, Africa, and Asia.

In Mecklenburg the terror times which the white race, Angelois, angels, the Angles of the Bible, had to endure under the Atlantean Hebrews are still remembered. An ancient song in the Harz still sings of the wild red Indian Hebrew hunter. There, perhaps, was also the great liberation battle at the birch or the pear tree, of which the Lehnin prophecy tells, under the German king Michael, the archangel of the Bible, who drove the Atlantean Hebrews, with their army signs star, dragon, and snake, out of Germany. The terrible liberation fight of the angels, the Germans, from the rule of Satan, the Atlantean Hebrews, must have lasted for years. He points to section 34. The decisive fights were mainly in north Germany. The chief fortress of the Hebrews was the city so important in German prehistory, Goslar. As chief fighters against the snake are named George, Michael, Orion, Arier, and Feridus. The memory of George and Michael lives in St. George and St. Michael. In the chief church of Goslar there still stands a most remarkable thing, the so-called Krodo altar. After Beta it was a work of the red Taifals, the red devil worshippers, their federal sanctuary, their ark of the covenant, most probably one of those portable bronze ovens in which the victims, children, girls, and youths, were burned alive, and the bones of the burnt offerings carried before the army as a fetish. Decades of oppression may have preceded the expulsion. After Fr. v. Wendrin, Das entdeckte Paradies, Berlin 1924, Westermann, the Scandinavians are said to have come to the Germans’ help, and their intervention decided the battle for the Germans. On the ground of the Swedish rock pictures, Wendrin establishes that the events described took place about 60,000 years ago. E. Beta comes to similar results. The numerous red Atlantic population, multiplying like rats and mice, his simile, flooded the neighboring continents in enormous raids with the natural force of a stream leaving its banks.

The expulsion of the Atlanteans from all Europe seems not to have wholly succeeded. Presumably they killed the men of the white population especially in south and west Europe, took their women, and crossed themselves upward. Only the larger present Germany seems to have become wholly free of them. Remains of their blood are found here and there in Germany, not quite rarely, though Aryanized by the mixing. In larger amounts the descendants of the expelled Atlantic mixed race sit in south, east, and west Europe. Their blood, he claims, lives strongly in the French, the Italians, the Czechs, the Croats, and other South Slavs, and above all in the Jews, the Hebrews, whose cult, as Sungaard argues, is wholly a continuation of the bloody cult of the Atlantean Aztecs, whose blood brothers they are. After the Bohuslän pictures the Atlantic intruders must have been monsters. They mixed sexually even with animals, with dogs, sheep, and pigs, which is why they received the name swine, Eberer, Ebräer, Hebrews. The name Juden, he says, comes from Gute, Goth, because G in Nordic was also spoken as J. Compare Jutland, Gutland, Gothland. The name Israelites, a collective name for Germanic tribes, the sly Ebräer stole so as not to be recognized. These facts, he says, are kept very much alive among the Hebrews and stored in their writings. They know well that they were called animals and swine, but in their holy writings they designate not themselves but the Germans, and in the World War they took care that their real name was laid on the Germans in the whole world. The decision battle in the German paradise, and there were several paradises founded by the Germans, did not decide the fight between red-black on one side and white on the other. It has raged uninterruptedly since. From the tale of the priests at Sais we know that great Germanic bands fought in Atlantis itself with the red Atlantic Hebrew devil race and sank with Atlantis. The fights with the Atlantic mixed race and its crossed descendants in France, Italy, Russia, and Asia lasted into historical time and into the present. The Germans had unceasingly to ward off the raids of the cruel robber descendants of the Atlantean Aztecs of the Roman empire and of France, and the storms of the Huns and Mongols. Unspeakably much of the best blood of the sons of God has run away in vain in these fights, and flowed into the devil’s children to our harm, because they forgot the ancient teachings of their leader Esus, to root out the children of darkness. He points to chapters 37 and 38. Our folly, to look on the children of darkness and of Satan as brothers, we paid for in the World War, in which the whole animal-humankind of the earth, under the leadership of the Ebräer, again took the field against the children of God. Will we once more, like King Michael 11,500 or 60,000 years ago, be victors in the fight of despair, or go under?

It lies near that the white race, originally wholly white of skin and hair, took up much dark blood by mixing with the intruded lower race, and that much misery, sickness, and moral ruin, also much heathenism and superstition, entered the god-family. Saddening experiences therefore moved the Germans, already tens of thousands of years ago, after scientific knowledge, to practice strict pure breeding and to protect their race by strict race laws. The ancient Indian race laws of Manu, of the man, are probably a part of them. It is very questionable whether the rescue of the Germanic race from bastardizing, or from destruction by the numerically over-mighty Atlantic race, would have been possible if this race had not been in large part destroyed by a mighty earth catastrophe. The fall of the great Babel, Atlantis, the great whore on the sea, that is of the accursed mixed race, was to become of the greatest importance for the white race.

The end of Atlantis

Section 29, pages 129 to 135, is the drowning itself, and the date in the heading is the world destruction 11,500 years ago. Because Babylon on Atlantis was the only world trading city, and culture streamed from it into all the world, a colorful race mixture arose there, worse from century to century, and turned into a true race chaos when Atlantis became the thousand-year priest state. The priests, in the interest of their rule, were forced to favor the bastardizing of the subject peoples and to switch off the Aryan race laws. Babylon became the purest race exhibition and race menagerie. Everything paired without choice, like rats and mice. It may have been still worse than in the world trading cities of our day. Otto Hauser, the anthropologist and literary historian, pictures the cause and effect of the gruesome race mixing on Atlantis in his mighty epic of the same name, in which, independently of Wieland, he comes to the same thoughts. He cites O. Hauser, Atlantis. Der Untergang einer Welt, Weimar, A. Dunker. After Genesis 6:2 the children of God looked on the daughters of mankind, that they were fair, and took to wives whomever they would. Race mixing always brings a boundless ruin of character, for the mixed usually inherit the bad sides of the parent pair. Genesis 6:5 reports vividly that the wickedness of men was great on earth and every imagining of their heart was only evil continually. The Aias no longer heeded the old Aryan race laws. The Edda pictures the arising moral ruin in agreement with the various biblical prophets: brothers fight and bring each other to death, brothers’ sons break the clan, the world is wicked, adultery terrible, not one will spare the other. The Bible therefore quite rightly compares Babylon on the waters in the midst of the sea with a great whore. He cites Revelation 17. Had Atlantis continued, a boundless race mixing and with it moral ruin would have come over the whole world, and the purpose of creation would not have been fulfilled. Therefore it repented God that he had made men on the earth, that he had let the Aias bring culture to the animal men and allowed their mixing. He wanted to wipe out again the men, the human animals, whom he had created, with all the beasts on Atlantis. For the earth was corrupt before God’s eyes and full of outrage, and all flesh had corrupted its way on earth. He cites Genesis 6:4-13. The great whore Babylon on Atlantis had become a habitation of devils, human animals, and a hold of every unclean spirit and every unclean bird, full of immoral mixed people and lower-race people. He cites Revelation 18:2.

He then prints Plato’s picture in the Critias of the Germanic Atlanteans before and after their mixing with the animal-humankind. Through many generations, as long as the divine, the higher-race blood, stayed alive in them, they were obedient to the laws, pious, and god-fearing. They lived peaceably with one another and bore the fates that struck them with gentleness and sobriety. For virtue’s sake they held all earthly things of small account and looked on their wealth in money and other goods as a burden. They did not intoxicate themselves in wanton mood with wine, but lived sober. They saw that if all are virtuous and hold together in friendship, wealth and prosperity grow of themselves, but if one strives for them on purpose, they perish of themselves. With such a mind, and because the divine nature, the Goth nature, stayed alive in them, all their affairs throve and they became rich and mighty. But when they fell away from God, mixing with the colored, and the mortal nature, the lower-race blood, gained the upper hand in them, they became vicious, and God wiped them out.

The cause of the fall, after Fischer, Weltwende, and Hörbiger, Das deutsche Weltbild, is this. The moonless time had been for the earth a time of geological quiet and undisturbed culture development. That was suddenly to become otherwise with the appearance of the present moon Luna, and to end with a terrible catastrophe for the earth and its culture. The planet Luna had come nearer the earth in the course of millions of years and, when it came near on its path, was caught by the earth and forced to move about it, and now with it about the sun. The former star suddenly appeared to the earth’s inhabitants about in its present size. But the beautiful spectacle had a very evil afterplay for the inhabitants of the southern latitudes. The enormous attraction of the approaching moon drew the floods of the world sea off from the polar regions into the warmer latitudes, so that Atlantis and Lemuria were covered by the sea. At the same time the ball shape of the earth was remade. The poles flattened. The girdle between the tropics arched up more strongly. That this did not happen without heavy earthquakes at the same time is self-evident. So far the explanation of Hörbiger and Fischer. The earth’s axis had to take another position under the moon’s attraction, which astronomers of antiquity confirm. He cites Blavatsky II, 421. This had to call forth shifts of every kind and another distribution of water and land, and the climate of the temperate latitudes had to worsen. The great moon-capture flood happened, after the Chaldean, which he glosses as Celtic, flood saga, under Xisuchros, Sisuthos, who represents Jesus and his time. After the calculations of the Chaldeans the flood was 18 Saren of 3,600 years, equaling 64,800 years. The Saren moon-periods recorded by the Celts at all cover together 432,000 years. The moon-capture flood had a special meaning for Europe. The climate became harsher. The reasons one should read in Fischer. In addition the land bridge between Europe and Africa was set under water. The Mediterranean, which consisted of two separate basins, became one. The inroad of the reds and blacks into Europe was cut off, and the Germanic race could develop more undisturbed. After the reports of the Egyptian priests, agreeing with the geological findings, and after the Indian secret teachings, the vanishing of Atlantis happened in different stretches of time and in parts.

The fall was a gruesome-beautiful spectacle of terrible grandeur, a spectacle only the almighty creator himself could give. Like a drunkard, trembling in every joint and swaying unceasingly, the earth went back and forth. The mountains hopped up and down like lambs. He cites Psalms 107 and 114. They grew ever smaller. Dully, gruesomely, and unceasingly the thunder rolled at the collapse of the hollows. Fire sheaves rose sky-high from the craters. Old ones lived again. New ones showed themselves. Glowing gases, water vapor, and sulfur vapor filled the air, darkened the sky and the sun, and made the day into night. He cites Isaiah 13:10. Lightning unceasingly shot through the gruesome twilight, and to the thunder inside the earth was joined the thunder in the clouds. Crater walls tore, and the red wolf, the lava, rolled destroying over the fields of Atlantis. He quotes the Edda on the high-red cock Fialar singing in the bird wood, Gullingambi waking the heroes at the army father, and another black-red cock singing under the earth in Hel’s halls. Cock is the designation for volcano. And again Garm howling before Gnipahellir, the fetter tearing, the wolf running. Garm is the volcano. The fetter tears, the crater walls split, and the wolf, the lava, flows out. Heaven, the heaven hill, bursts. The dead in it stand up to the terror of the living. He cites Revelation 20:13. That is, the mummies are flung from their vaults by the earthquake. The gold-beaming temple on the heaven hill collapses and buries the crowd of the faithful seeking help, and the Atlantic pope on the holy chair of God. The houses crack. The giant city becomes a heap of rubble and a sea of fire, in which thousands find a terrible grave. Whoever can flee rushes into the open full of death terror. Millions plead to heaven for mercy and rescue. He cites Psalms 104 and 107. In vain. Whoever seemingly escapes death from behind is seized by it from in front with tenfold force. Many seek rescue on ships, but the high sea smashes these like glass. In a few terrible days and nights the All-father breaks his misshapen creation as a child breaks its toy. The earth’s crust sinks and bursts. The floods of the sea rush in, and the fountains of the deep break up. He cites Genesis 7:11. The land seemingly sinks and is covered by the sea. The water streaming onto the earth’s core is turned to steam and flung to heaven in giant clouds. Heaven bursts, that is the atmosphere, oversaturated with steam, lets it rattle down in unceasing terrible rain gushes. He cites Genesis 7:12 and 7:19 and 23. The mountains grow visibly smaller and melt like wax. He cites Psalm 97:1-5, Isaiah 40:4, and Micah 1:4. At last all the high mountains were covered with water, and all flesh, beast and man, went under. In one hour, Revelation 18:17, the culture of tens of thousands of years had sunk into the deep, and the dull, smoking, steaming floods of the ocean rolled over the grave of 64 million people. Terrified, the few saved on ships watched the terrible spectacle and lamented the losses in goods and in human life. He cites Psalms 18 and 107.

The island Pascua, west of Chile, carries on its peak a high stone pillar. A human face cut into it looks sadly north. After the saga the pillar was set by the saved, in thanks to the godhead. Ezekiel too pictures the sudden fall of Atlantis, chapters 27:36 and 28:19. Since these chapters speak of the city in the midst of the sea, whose borders are in the midst of the sea, whose prince sits on the throne of God in the midst of the sea, on the holy mountain of God, and since this city is expressly designated as the one that is in God’s pleasure garden, Eden, the Idafeld, paradise, and rich in gems of every kind, only Babylon on Atlantis can be meant, and no other. We may be grateful to the falsifiers of the history of Atlantis that they left the fitting places standing and so handed us the history. The book of the prophet Ezekiel seems altogether, like Revelation, to occupy itself in the main only with Atlantis. These reports are of course often torn, changed, and mixed with insertions of the falsifiers. Among the Mayas of Yucatan, about 3,500 years ago, a report of the fall of Atlantis was written. The manuscript is still extant and is found as the Troano manuscript in the British Museum in London. After it the fall shaped itself thus.

Die Gegend der Schlammhügel, das Land von Mu, war das Opfer: es wurde zweimal emporgehoben und plötzlich war es über Nacht verschwunden.

Hermann Wieland. Atlantis, Edda und Bibel (1925), p. 134

The sense of the sentence he prints from that manuscript is that the district of the mud hills, the land of Mu, was the victim: it was lifted twice and suddenly, overnight, it was gone. The passage around it says that in the 6th year Kan, on the 11th Muluk in the month Zac, terrible earthquakes began and lasted without a break until the 15th Chuen. The sea was continually churned by volcanic forces. The land sank and rose several times in various places within a certain border. At last the surface gave way, and ten lands, with his exclamation mark, were torn from one another and scattered. Unable to stand against the mighty convulsions, they sank with their 64 million inhabitants, 8,060 years before the writing of that book. In the saga treasure of old Persia, which also contains the history of Atlantis, the report is likewise made that Atlantis sank about 11,500 years ago. A like statement is found in Indian secret writings, after the researches of Blavatzky, as this copy prints the name. These reports agree with the other flood reports of the old culture peoples, also with Gallic and British ones. That is quite explainable. No historical event made so great an impression on the mankind of that time, for thousands of years out, as the fall of this center of the whole world. Just as doubtless, the eyewitnesses who saved themselves on ships brought the terror news into all the world, especially into the colonies Egypt, Troy, Sumer, Iberia, Italy, America, and to the northern Aryans. After the old sagas an Atlantean named Belgamer saved himself by an ark, a ship, to Sweden, a Xisuthrus to Chaldea, a Vaivasata to India, a Peirum to China, and the Atlantic priest Deukalion to Greece. He cites Blavatzky II, 818, as this copy prints the name. It is also well thinkable that knowing Aryan astronomers foresaw the earthquake catastrophe, fled to ships in time, and waited out the disaster there, far from the strand. So the saga of Noah with the ark is explained without strain. A clever man may have brought his family and stores for many months, and also animals and seeds, onto a ship, and saved himself. Psalms 18, 33, 42:7-8, 45, 65, 67, 89, 93, 96 to 99, 103, and 107, which contain a quite clear hint of the events at the fall of Atlantis, are without doubt a thank-song of survivors for their rescue. The biblical tale of the rescue of one family, Noah, is found in all the old sagas, also in the Greek, and so long before the Bible arose. Greek tradition lets Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha escape the great flood and become the tribal parents of a new humankind. To the flood reports in all the world an Upper Bavarian saga also joins, after which a human pair saved themselves from the great flood onto the Watzmann. He cites Dr. Sepp, Altbayerischer Sagenschatz, 1876.

A rising again of Atlantis and Lemuria, of which last some parts are covered with only 75 meters (246.06 feet) of water, is no longer possible. The prophecies about the next years do not correspond to the astronomical facts. Rather, after Fischer and Hörbiger, the matter is this. The present earth moon will screw itself ever nearer the earth, call forth the same terrible ice age and other appearances as were pictured in section 2, and in about 1 million years, dissolving, fall onto the earth. The water mass of the earth will thereby be so enlarged that Atlantis and Lemuria can never rise again, not even at the great return flood. The dwelling districts of the earth in the following new moonless time will presumably be considerably more reduced. The observed slow, apparent sinking of Heligoland and of the district of Hadeln on the North Sea, 5 centimeters in 100 years, and the slow rise of the mean water at the gauges of the Rhine and North Sea harbors, are perhaps to be traced to the hardly noticeable, growing girdle flood of the earth called forth by the moon’s approach. With that hangs also the slow lessening of the earth’s speed of rotation. Perhaps science and technique will one day find a means to prevent the death-bringing approach of the moon.

What the sinking left

Section 30, pages 136 to 145, is the economic collapse, and then his story of how the Bible was made in exile. The fall of Atlantis was for civilization, for many thousands of years out, an irreplaceable loss. Whether for the Aryan race, is hardly to be affirmed, rather to be denied, for the race mixing and race ruin going out from Atlantis would have drawn the still race-pure Aryan tribes in the north into its whirl, and the purpose of creation would have been wholly lost. The meaning of the fall for the culture world of that time can hardly be pictured. From Ezekiel 26, 27, and 28 and from Revelation one can somewhat see what a mighty economic importance Atlantis had for the first culture period of the earth. A weak comparison is perhaps Carthage, Rome, England, or the present America. The fall of some present culture centers would be felt, but not irreplaceable. Otherwise with Atlantis. One gets a right picture if one compares this wonderland and its culture relations, stretching over the whole world, with a spider’s web, in whose middle the city of God in the midst of the sea sits as the busy spider, fastening her threads at all the ends of the world. Suddenly this net is torn and wiped out, and only a few shreds still hang at the ends of the old culture world, in Egypt, Sumer, Italy, west Asia Minor, America, West Africa, India, and Europe. With the death of the spider sank the possibility of tying the torn threads again. Only our time was reserved the task of finding the traces of that first Aryan culture glory and joining them into a magically shining picture. With Atlantis the light of the whole world had gone down. Discoveries, inventions, and economic knowledge the Atlantic Aias had kept as secrets, and so they were mostly carried to the grave with them. Only in Egypt and Sumer were remains preserved by the Aryan priest caste. With the fall, and through the enormous flood wave that roared over parts of the neighboring continents, a considerable fraction of the Aryan population of the earth was also rooted out, and further by the destruction fights against the Aias that set in in the colonies when Aryan power and the Aryan motherland vanished. At the fall, great troop masses from the Aryan lands, from Gog and Magog, that is from northern Europe, had gone down with Atlantis into the gruesome deep. The fall therefore also means a heavy loss of men for the Aryan world, felt for thousands of years. Hence the moving lament in Isaiah, seven widows seek one man. The destruction made itself felt at once everywhere. The great city of God in the midst of the sea had been the factory for the whole world, from the stone axe of nephrite to the finest gold ornament, and to the finest weaves and the best tools. At one stroke the world source of goods dried up. Only with labor did bad imitations succeed in the colonies, and since the growing inventive blood of the Aias was missing, technique decayed, art stiffened and coarsened, and in some lands was wholly missing for thousands of years, so that a fall back into the barbarism of old days is unmistakable. Only so is it explainable what culture history and art history report of a sudden catastrophe that entered thousands of years before our era and before the culture of the old Egyptians, Americans, Greeks, and Etruscans. He cites Lübke, 1904.

Given the importance of Atlantis, it is no wonder that it lives on for thousands of years in saga and history of all culture peoples. Those who could write sought to hand the world event to posterity in the picture writing then usual. In state, temple, and palace libraries the precious treasures were carefully guarded. The libraries of the Sumerians and of their successors, the Akkadians, Babylonians, and Medes, were apparently full of old sagas and history reports. These were written on soft clay tablets, which one then burned to preserve them. To all appearance the author of Ezekiel was sent to Atlantis to bring home an exact report on burg, city, and temple. He cites Ezekiel 4. After Ezekiel 4:1 the reporter even scratched a plan of the capital of Atlantis, in the usual way, on a clay tablet. Valuable news from Atlantis was also kept in the Egyptian temple libraries, especially at Sais, or the priests there could not have laid before Solon the most exact historical reports, agreeing with the Edda and the other traditions. Excellent reports are without question also in the records of the Mayas in Central America. See the Troano manuscript in the library in London. Unfortunately, fanatical monks and bishops burned whole wagonloads of Maya manuscripts after the conquest of Mexico by Pizarro. By Bishop Merida and by the Jesuit Landa alone, 27 manuscripts written on deerskin, and 197 other writings of various size, so that only four of these manuscripts have been preserved, which at present belong to the most precious treasures of the libraries of Dresden, Paris, and Madrid. He cites Gronau, page 70.

Most important for us were the records in Sumer and Egypt, through the following events. Nebuchadnezzar in 588 has the Jewish realm, which had become inconvenient to him, conquered, and drags the noblest of the land, among them scribes and priests, into captivity. The latter succeed in reaching influential posts, in learning Chaldean speech and writing, and in getting access to the libraries. Here they find the remarkable writings on Atlantis. Then one among them, Ezra, has a genial plan, which he and scribes of later generations carry out. A Jewish priest state is to be raised on the pattern of the Atlantic priest state, and its capital is to be Jerusalem, to which one attaches the name of the holy city of God on Atlantis, while one calls the Asenburg Asgard on Atlantis the burg Zion. In Jerusalem a temple is raised on the pattern of the All-father’s temple on the heaven hill in Atlantis, recorded on old clay tablets. The people of the Jews is to be called the people of God in place of the wiped-out Aias. Their famous Ase Baldur is to be stamped as an allegedly promised Messiah of the Jews. Since the red Hyksos, the Hebrews, thrown out of Egypt, have only a history full of dirt behind them, the history of the Aias and of their twelve Asen families is to be falsified into a history of the Jewish people, so that this people may appear to the other peoples as a people with an imposing, mighty, historical, and god-graced past, and so that the necessary national pride may awake in it, which can drive it to win world rule. The history of the twelve Asen becomes a history of twelve alleged Hebrew tribes. Out of twelve Asen chairs become the chairs of the twelve families of Israel. Out of the rabble and Gypsy people of the Jews, his words, becomes the people Israel, the holy people of God. The robber Jewish people thrown out of Egypt is let grow from twelve sons, allegedly immigrated into Egypt, of a man Jacob from Canaan, although one knows from history that the Jews broke into Egypt as a robber people and settled there. To prove the alleged Aryan descent of the rabble people, the family tree of its alleged patriarchs Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham is led back to Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden on Atlantis, and the old Aryan traditions and prophecies are referred to them. The old Aryan history reports of world creation, paradise, fall, flood, Atlantis, and Baldur the Messiah are set up as revelations of the Jewish desert god and national idol Jahwe. This one is given out for the kind and wise unnameable, the eternal, the All-father of the Aryans. Allegedly at his command Moses hurls the known gruesome ban curses, which he cites as II Moses 26, orders the Jewish cult on the Atlantic pattern, and after the same, II Moses 25 and following and III Moses, probably also the profitable temple taxes, redemption and atonement moneys, then the human sacrifices usual among the red human race after ancient custom.

It is quite strange, he says, that until now no one has taken the trouble to examine more closely the Bible places he has cited. One would have had to find that the holy city of God in the midst of the sea, on the many waters, between two seas, by the many islands, in God’s pleasure garden, with the little springs of God, with the worthy holy mountain of God between two seas, with the borders in the sea, with the throne of God in the midst of the sea, cannot possibly be the Jerusalem in Canaan, for there springs, God’s pleasure garden, islands, water, and sea are missing. He cites Ezekiel 27, Revelation 17:1, Daniel 11:45, Ezekiel 47, Psalm 46:5, and Ezekiel 28:2. One would have had to see at once that the description of the high holy mountain of God in the midst of the sea and on the many waters does not fit Mount Zion, but that all these descriptions fit most exactly the Atlantic capital and its heaven hill. One would have had to see to whom the islands in Isaiah 41 and 42 and in Ezekiel refer. The falsifications are so clumsy that it is not hard to see which is the original text, what is inserted, falsified, renamed, or put in at another place. Zechariah 2:9 is a memory of the fiery bronze wall of the Asenburg. Zechariah 9:9-10 is a place from the report of an Atlantic king to a daughter colony. Revelation is only in smallest part by John, perhaps only chapters 1 to 3, except for sundry places. All the other chapters are nothing but reports of Atlantis and its history, mixed up helter-skelter. The question of the origin of the Old Testament books has occupied many researchers for years. English Egyptologists, Flinders Petrie at their head, want, on the ground of their digs, to have come to the same result as the Assyriological cuneiform knowers: the assumption that the Old Testament writings come in part from an Atlantic and Chaldean Median, so from an Atlantic Aryan, source. Chamberlain too, in his foundations of the nineteenth century, comes to the view that a thoroughly invented, artfully thought-out, uncommonly complicated religious and culture history was forced on the Jewish people by purposeful men as an ancient hallowed tradition. The present writing, Wieland says, supplies sufficient proofs for this assumption. A footnote points to Arthur Ungnad, Die Religion der Babylonier und Assyrer, Jena 1921, for the connection of Old Testament writing with the old Babylonian, and to Otto Hauser, Weltgeschichte der Literatur, Leipzig 1910.

Out of old Aryan stories, Aryan and Germanic sagas and poems, Jewish twistings and falsifications, and by insertion of genuinely Jewish lies and immoralities, there gradually arose the lied and stolen history of an allegedly chosen holy Jewish people, which with the help of this fraud has held the peoples for fools for 2,500 years and, under the cover of the name people of God, exploits and roots out its host peoples without mercy. The historical report of the great city of God on the many waters and on the sea, and of its temple, is falsified into prophecies of a Jerusalem rising again, of the building of the second temple, and of a splendid future of the people of the Jews. The saga of the returning Ase Baldur is stamped into the prophecy of a mighty messianic Jewish king ruling the world, and is at present spread in the people, in the interest of Jewish world rule, by the Jewish-led society of the International Earnest Bible Students. Returned to Jerusalem, Ezra and Nehemiah set to work. A book of the old covenant and of the lawgiving, put together from Aryan literature, Jewish poems, and falsifications, which they and their helpers had without doubt composed in the captivity, is read to the people. He cites Nehemiah 8 and 9. Every Jew is provided with the sign of the old covenant, circumcision. Circumcision, a religious ceremony still usual among various lower-race peoples, may, like the scheußlich phallus service, be an invention of the sensuality of the lower race, and was introduced by the Atlantic priests as the sign of their covenant, against the sign of the Asen. Otto Hauser’s epic is cited again for this view. The temple is raised on the pattern of the temple of the holy city of God and on the holy mountain of God in the midst of the sea and on the many waters, and the priests’ clothing is fixed on the Atlantic pattern. They receive garments of white linen and of blue purple, like the Asen. He points back to sections 6 and 7. The high priest is even adorned with the golden forehead circlet, the golden forehead plate, of the Asen, with the inscription “Holy to the Lord.” On the breast he wears, on a golden chain, a little official shield made of the most various and precious gems and set in gold, containing the names of the twelve families of Israel, in order to fake descent from the twelve Atlantic Asen. He cites II Moses 39. Race mixing is forbidden according to the stolen Aryan race laws. He cites Ezra 9 and Nehemiah 10:31. The divorce of the race-mixing marriages is carried through, to make the Jewish blood uniform, Ezra 10. Hate of peoples is infused into the Jews, and this criminal people, his words, is raised to a mad, measureless self-conceit. For after the stolen and falsified Aryan promises, now referred to the Jews, world rule is allegedly to come to them. The old Aryan race laws were applied among the Jews with inexorable sharpness and were in the sequel to become the mightiest lever to secure, for the Jewish people scattered in all the world, an eternal life and world rule. To secure those laws to the Jews as their sole good, the Aryans are to be brought, by a suggested phrase-fog of equality of peoples and of men and of general brotherhood, to throw the same laws away. He points to section 35. To this day the enormous fraud works. The Jews appear to the Christian peoples as the holy, untouchable, chosen people of God. To the Jewish people itself a thought was suggested that gave it a mighty driving force for winning economic world rule.

He remarks expressly that Judaism knows the historical truth and the criminal falsifications it has undertaken. It is in possession of the most excellent German wisdoms and of the most important records of the history and culture of Aryan Germandom, and it keeps the Aryan history documents carefully in three chief synagogues, while it had such documents destroyed in the libraries of antiquity and in the German Irminen and Armanen schools by compliant tools, of which the Roman church counted as the most important, so that no ray of the light of truth might fall on the cheated Germans. Christianity on its dogmatic side has without doubt arisen from Judaism, for Aryan Christianity is without dogmas, and the Christian communities of the first centuries were mostly Jewish, which laid the weight of religious life on the dogma. Among the Jewish philosophers of that time the effort appeared to set the Bible in agreement with Greek philosophy. It was a Jew, Philo Judaeus, who created the dogma of the resurrection and of the Logos. Jewish philosophers and rabbis in the Christian community applied all their sharpness to building out the dogma in the newly arisen Jewish, that is Christian, sect. The barely born Christian church was Judaized and became a Jewish instrument for the Judaizing and enslaving of the peoples in the service of Jewish capitalism. Professor Sombart, certainly no opponent of the Jews, confirms that in the Jewish religion, and so in the Christian, the same leading ideas are found that characterize capitalism. The church father Origen himself confirmed that many people, Jews, had no hesitation in making additions and cuts in the holy text of the gospels. Further evidence of Bible falsifications the reader finds in Pastor Andersen, Der Deutsche Heiland, Munich 1921, and in Döllinger. Out of the rich treasures of the library at Alexandria and out of the traditions, the Christian Jews may well have seen the literary falsification that had been undertaken with the old Aryan writings in favor of their people. But since their peoplehood stood above everything, a new falsification was undertaken so that the Aryans should not notice the danger. One lets the German Jesus honored by the Christians appear as a scion of the Jewish king David, as the promised western savior who bears the sins of the world, and one presents him as the son of the Jewish god Jahwe. The reports of the prophets and of the apocryphal book of Enoch about the Ase Baldur and about Atlantis are so falsified that they appear as prophecies of the coming Logos, the Messiah, and of the coming world events. How the same were used to cheat the German people, the reader finds in Baldur und Bibel, chapter II, and in Hans Lienhardt. It is understandable that the Catholic church forbids its faithful the study of the Bible, that Pope Pius VII, about 1814, cursed the Bible societies and called them the pest of Christendom, and that the Jesuits at their council at Chiari called the Bible a creeping snake from whose eyes fire sprays. He cites Gioberti, Eger 1909. The falsifications of the Bible, heavily damaging to Aryan and Germanic being, were not to be uncovered. The German people is to be kept, like the Atlantic Aias, in the slavery of the post-Atlantic priest state.

With the fall of Atlantis, not only the only industrial and trading center of the world had gone, but also its financial center, easily explainable given the gold and silver wealth of Atlantis. The destruction brought a financial catastrophe without example over the whole world. Collapses followed blow on blow in all industrial and trading cities and worked into the smallest economic relations. Trade and industry stuck for lack of capital. A giant, never before seen dearth was the result. Revolutions raged through the culture lands and ended with the slaughter of the Aryan population where it was in the minority. That the changed economic and climatic conditions also brought a great mortality is obvious. The financial means for rebuilding world culture were now also missing. So too is explained, without strain, the catastrophe which, after the dig results in the Orient, must suddenly have broken over the oldest culture there. A weak image of that Atlantic flood catastrophe was given in 1923 by the great earthquake of Japan, which had similar consequences for Japan: countless people died, numerous cities were broken in a few moments like a toy and burned, an enormous flood wave destroyed numerous coastal cities and ships of the war fleet and the merchant fleet, whole island groups vanished without a trace, Japan’s industry, capital, and credit were heavily damaged, and his misfortune necessarily brought an overturn of the political grouping in the Far East, finding its first expression in the American ban on Japanese immigration. Had all the Aryan tribes then gone down with Atlantis or been rooted out, the history of human culture would have been at an end, and mankind would have sunk again into the animal state out of which the Aryans, after the agreeing traditions of the old culture peoples, had pulled it by teaching and by blood mixing, and the creation would have been in vain. The mighty Atlantic world tree had crashed to the ground, yet some life remained in the root stock, and in a few places shy new shoots showed, which after thousands of years unfolded into mighty trees and made a new Aryan culture flowering possible. One Aryan tribe, the Germans in Europe, luckily stayed untouched by the fall. Blond Germans drew as consecrated springs, or as Vikings, into the former Atlantic colonies in southern Europe, Asia Minor, Babylonia, and Egypt, and infused new life by their blood into the dying old culture. On the oldest culture layer in Hither Asia and Assyria a Germanic culture then arose, about 6000 B.C. until the year 1000 B.C., and with it a second flowering. The page continues into the next section’s opening: life, new green ivy rankled about old ruin walls. Here also begins the history of the Germanic tribe of the Gaal-Scythians, pictured in the writings of the Eolus and in the yearbooks of Gaelag. He cites L. Albert, Die Urbibel der Ariogermanen, Berlin 1921. The second Aryan culture flowering too was destroyed by the mixing of its culture bearers with the lower races. At the beginning of our era the Aryan blood that had flowed south was already so far spoiled that in the classical culture lands of the Mediterranean the same conditions ruled as on Atlantis at the time of the rising of the mixed and the lower race against the Aias. The culture peoples of the Mediterranean rotted from inside and could be smashed with light trouble by the comparatively small Germanic bands in the first centuries of our era. The same regrettable course repeated itself a third time. They infused new life by their blood into the dying Roman Oriental mixed peoples and so kindled a third culture flowering, whose center gradually shifted north, to Germany, because there the stock of the Aryan population still present was purest. World culture has since had a Germanic stamp. But for 2,000 years Germanic world culture and the whole Germanic people have been threatened in their existence. Unceasingly the lower-race beast with its two heads works at the throwing down of Aryan being, and in 1914 it struck the last blow against the burg of Germandom, against Asgard-Germany. He points to section 36.

Atlantis and the Bible

Section 31, pages 146 to 156, is the literary history of that theft, and the claim that the Bible is an extract of the old Aryan secret books. From the previous section it already appears that Atlantis and the Bible stand in a very near connection. The following pages will try to make the connections clear in short strokes and to show the origin of the Bible. The science and culture of the Aryan Atlanteans was exceedingly high and rich. Aryan Atlantic knowledge spread through the whole world, as Germanic knowledge does in the present. In the old Indian literature of the Brahmans it is said that a learned astronomer, astrologer, and magician from Atlantis, named Asuramaya, left works in India on which the chronology and the calculations of the Brahman scholars rested. Epic literature points to Asuramaya as one of the oldest astronomers in Aryavarta, the cradle of the Aryans. From him the Egyptian priests had the knowledge of the zodiacs. In south India, fragments of immeasurably old works assigned to the Atlantic astronomer Asuramaya were found. He cites Blavatsky II, 53 and 54. Asuramaya is called a pupil of Surya, the sun god himself, so after the secret speech of the ancients he was a god’s son, an Aryan. In his works he often mentions the Atlantic islands. The learned Jesuit Father Kircher, after studying the Oriental languages and writings, comes to the conclusion that all legends of Atlantis must at bottom be only the unveiling of a great truth. Literary remains of Atlanteans were without doubt also found in Assyrian Babylonian, Central American, and Egyptian libraries. It is to be assumed as sure that the Chaldean and Persian magi were Atlanteans or descendants of them, as also the Celtic and Germanic druids.

When the persecution of the Aryans on Atlantis began and the Aryan Atlantic scholars were driven out by the lower-race mob, they kept their knowledge secret and shared it only with such Aryans as they held worthy to be their pupils. A veil of secrecy was to be thrown over the historical, scientific, and religious knowledge, so that the unworthy would not desecrate it. The terrible events on Atlantis had taught the Aryans that it would be equivalent to suicide to equip the beasts and the heathen any longer with knowledge that those would use only as weapons. We Germans, he says, made like experiences in the World War. Goethe too hid part of his knowledge, so in Faust. Christ warns against casting pearls before swine and veils his true teaching in parables and pictures. The results of Aryan research in race study had all the more to be taught in secret. Those initiated into the Aryan wisdom formed a brotherhood spread through the whole world, after the manner of the Freemason order. As a rule they were priests in the temples they led and teachers at the initiate schools. The latter were on holy hills, in holy grottoes and groves, and in pyramids and temples through the whole world. He will prove this in a separate work. Among those initiated into Aryan wisdom in Germany were the Irminen and the Armanen, the priests, teachers, and keepers of the Aryan wisdom. If Germany is today the scientific center of the whole world, in the oldest time the foundation of Aryan wisdom likewise came from the Germany now so despised, from its Irminen and Armanen schools, later roughly destroyed by Charlemagne. Reception of the hierophants into the secret bond of the initiates or adepts followed set outer forms, under a rite partly preserved in Freemasonry and in the church. In Egypt the novice, after a row of heavy tests, had to lie down in the porphyry sarcophagus inside the great pyramid. It was the font in which the neophyte was born again and became an adept. The giant monoliths, towers, ring walls, stone circles, and step-hills, later often places of wild idol service, and also the underground passages and crypts of the sun temples and holy hills, were places of initiation. He cites Blavatsky, volume II.

Their mighty knowledge, increased over millennia, the Atlantic Aryan wise men laid down in a mysterious picture writing known only to them, with which they described monuments and temple and grave chambers, and which understandably shows a great likeness everywhere. They also eternalized their wisdoms in holy, carefully guarded writings, whose number gradually increased into the enormous. What scientific works the destroyed temple libraries of Assyria, Chaldea, Babylonia, Persia, India, Egypt, Gaul, and Central America contained is inestimable. One gets a weak idea of the number if one recalls that Caesar burned a giant library of the Celtic druids, descendants of the Atlantic Aryans, at Alesia in France, Leo the Isaurian 300,000 manuscripts at Constantinople, Diocletian in 296 the esoteric works of the Egyptians and their books on alchemy, and in 389 the Christian mob, at the instigation of the Jews and of the Christian archbishop Theophilus, no fewer than 700,000 rolls of the world-famous Alexandrian library, and later the Mohammedan conquerors the rest. The losses are inestimable. We must laboriously find again what those wise Aryans had left in those writings. Luckily, remains of those secretly kept Aryan teachings stayed to us in temple and grave inscriptions, in numerous clay tablets of Assyrian Chaldean libraries, and above all in ancient Indian secret writings and Egyptian papyrus rolls. New papyri are continually discovered. The best-known writings of antiquity still extant are the Egyptian Book of the Dead, Assyrian Babylonian tablets and cylinders in cuneiform, the Rigveda, the oldest Aryan reports of the history of the Aryans in the grayest prehistory, the Indian Upanishads, the Mahabharata, which he prints Mahabarratha, the Puranas, the Persian Zend-Avesta, the teachings of Confucius and Laotse, the books of the Greek wise men, the sagas of Homer, the laws of Manu, the mighty Babylonian god epic which he prints Inuma ila, the Edda, the Aeolian yearbooks, and the Babylonian creation story of Berosus. Their common content, shortly, is the origin of the heavenly bodies and of the earth, of the organic world, of men and animals, the history of the human races, of the peoples, and of the earth, geology, culture history, mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, astrology, healing, the meaning and use of the secret psychic forces, hypnotism and magnetism, magic, immortality of the soul, the origin of the gods and their true meaning, the knowledge of the true God, that is the divine nature force living everywhere in nature and working creatively after eternal laws, called the one, unnameable, eternal, unchangeable, counsel for leading human life in harmony with God and the natural laws, ethics and morals, honoring of the eternal creator principle, religion, prayers, hymns, and knowledge of the rite for initiation into the mysteries.

This rite became, for the great ignorant crowd, the real religion, and for the knowing, the initiates, adepts, and hierophants, only the outer shell for the Aryan secrets inherited through millennia. So there was an outer, exoteric religion for the great mass, and a secret, esoteric one for the initiated. To the latter belonged the wise of all the old Aryan culture peoples. That explains why the teachings of the old Aryan culture bearers sounded alike everywhere, and why their cult was similar in the whole world, so that the conquerors of Mexico in 1520 naturally had to find there a cult like the Catholic one. So that the high Aryan spiritual good should not fall into the hands of the rabble, it was not handed on word for word in the old holy writings, but in fables and parables, in likenesses, and in words whose real sense only the initiated understood. Whoever does not have the key sees in them only ridiculous, absurd stuff. A genial woman, H. P. Blavatsky, as this copy prints Blavatzky, succeeded, after years of study of the ancient Aryan Indian and Persian writings, in finding the secret key. She laid her researches down in a four-volume work. The German is by Norbert Frobe, Leipzig, W. Friedrich. Independently of her, the learned Cistercian priest Dr. Jörg v. Lanz-Liebenfels came to the same results by another way, mainly through the Greek and Latin classics and the writings of the Christian church fathers, to whom, so far as they were themselves initiates, like Origen and Clement of Alexandria, the secret key was known. Compare those old Aryan writings with the Bible and one sees, to one’s great surprise, that the Bible, apart from falsifications and additions, is nothing else than an extract and a part of those ancient Aryan secret writings, and that it contains a fullness of Aryan Atlantic wisdom. Lanz-Liebenfels has brought irrefutable proofs, in a long row of publications, the Ostara library, Mödling near Vienna. There the reader finds the secret speech of the Bible explained, dictionaries of the secret speech, and a large literature list. Proofs are also in Blavatsky.

For us the following facts suffice at first. The church fathers named knew, and the Jewish rabbis know, that the true meaning of the Bible texts is other than the one taught to the people. Therefore the Jewish philosopher Maimonides recommends strict silence about the true meaning of the Bible. The Hebrew philosopher Philo says the literal sentences of the Bible are fabulous, and in the allegory we must recognize the truth. The Jewish kabbalists know very well what the biblical tales are supposed to mean, which one coolly expects us Christians to believe literally. And one expects us to believe much, for example that the measures of Solomon’s temple building given in the Bible were fact, while the Jewish Bible falsifier simply copied the measures of the great Cheops pyramid. He cites Blavatsky III, 274. The church father Origen expressly grants that much in the Bible is only fable and must be understood symbolically. The apostle Paul, likewise an initiate, says in Galatians 4:22-31 that some things in the Bible, for example the story of Abraham and his sons, are only a likeness. The Christian Gnostics, the recognizing, the knowing, also knew the fact of the Bible’s secret speech. Jesus too, as an initiate, knew it. He cites Matthew 12:39. He calls the fable of Jonah’s being swallowed by a fish merely a sign. Those church fathers also knew well that the real content of the Bible is the same as that of the ancient Aryan writings. They interpreted it wholly alike. Where does the Bible come from? The ancient teachings common to all Aryan tribes, on the origin of the world, the history of the earth, of mankind, and of the races, the fall of Atlantis, and so on, which were laid down in the Chaldean, Akkadian, and Egyptian libraries and in Greek writings, were at last worked by the Jews, and first by Ezra, about 500 B.C. It is, after the confessions of the Jews themselves, a historical fact that Ezra, in the time of the Persian king Artaxerxes, put the Jewish, biblical books together in his own way out of the Chaldean writings and made of them a seemingly harmonious history of creation and of the Jewish race. He cites Blavatsky III, 173. It can be hardened by facts that the biblical pseudo-persons and their history are borrowed from Aryan myths. He cites Koch, Die arischen Grundlagen der Bibel, Berlin 1914. Certain parts of the Old Testament are, after Lanz-Liebenfels, taken from the works of the Greeks Musaeus and Orpheus. Jewish biblical history is nothing but a collection of historical facts, worked from other people’s and peoples’ history in a Jewish garment, in order to let the Jewish Chandala people appear as the first and most important, god-descended and chosen people of the earth. So a wholly worthless literary theft and fraud and a falsification of documents by Jewish priests and scribes. In addition the Jewish falsifiers shot the old Aryan writings through with a dirt that has worked in a high degree to unmoralize our German people. The book of Job too is ancient and not a Jewish product of the mind. It tells of extinct animals that lived in the Tertiary. He cites Beta, page 118. After II Kings 22 an ancient, presumably walled-in book was found in the temple, which the Hebrew high priest Hilkiah could not read. Plainly it had been written in the speech of the original Germans subjected by the Hebrews, and had first to be translated by the scribe Shaphan. So Germanic reading came into Hebrew hands.

For the Old Testament the reader will have to let the literary theft and the falsifications pass without further ado. The results of the digs in the Orient cannot be denied even by the Jews and the orthodox clergy. How does it stand with the New Testament? Jesus himself was initiated into the ancient Aryan Atlantic wisdom. He too did not give his teachings to the public, but uttered them only in parables, fables, and allegories. He cites Matthew 13, Mark 4, and Luke 8, and the warning not to cast pearls before swine. He expressly forbids the disciples to say that he is a Chrestos, that is an adept, an initiate, and that he possesses and uses the magnetic healing forces known to the initiated. After the Clementine Homilies, Peter said Jesus had commanded his disciples to keep, for him and the sons of his house, the Aryans, the secrets he explained to them in confidence. Plainly Jesus also knew the ancient book of Enoch, because it has some likeness to the gospel of John. So too is explained the remarkable kinship, and in part the sameness, of his high moral teaching with that of Confucius, Laotse, Buddha, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, and the psalms. These were common good of the Aryan initiates and in content essentially alike. Since the Hebrew priests feared he might say the truth and put an end to their people’s fraud, he had to die. He cites John 11:50. Paul saw in Christ only an embodied idea. How his allegorical words are to be interpreted, one should read in Lanz-Liebenfels. A footnote says Goethe too hid his most important knowledge, from fear of the Illuminati and Jesuit order that threatened him with death, and cites Rector Ahlwardt, Mehr Licht, Dresden 1910.

The book of Revelation of St. John, a Jewish kabbalist declared holy by the Christian church, is a version, a translation and alteration, of the book of Enoch, an apocryphal book not taken into the Bible by the later Christian church, well known to the initiates and the Jewish kabbalists, and the Chaldean copy of a still older Aryan work. Chapter 12 of Revelation, with the epistle for St. Michael’s day, comes without doubt from Babylonian legends and is preserved on a clay-tablet fragment found by the Assyriologist George Schmidt. He cites Blavatsky II, 401. That book of Enoch, in which parts of the gospels are also found, also pictures the history of the chosen Aryan people, for whom the Jews fraudulently give themselves out, refers expressly to the initiated Atlantic Aryans, pictures the punishment of the Atlantic Aryans who sinned against the race laws, and the fall of Atlantis. The apostle Jude and many church fathers mention it as a holy book, and the first Christians took it among the holy writings. After Blavatsky II, 84, the book of Enoch is originally of Indian origin and goes back to the time before the destruction of Atlantis. The alleged prophecies in Revelation are nothing else than Atlantic Aryan history and secret teaching written in the tense of the future. Therefore the book of Enoch was not taken among the biblical books, and the people were forbidden to read the Bible. The truth was not to be learned, so that Judaism, degrading the church to its tool, would not be hindered in reaching its plans of world rule. Therefore the church also, everywhere, in the roughest way, destroyed writings of Aryan-wisdom content in old Germany as heathen and devil’s works, and so also in Central America whole wagonloads, and in Granada in Spain 80,000 irreplaceable Arabic manuscripts.

For the fact of the Jewish Bible falsifications he gives a few pieces of evidence. Acts 15:5-11 reports that already in the apostles’ time the attempts at Jewish Bible falsification had begun. Again and again the great mass of baptized Jews, as zealots in the law of Moses, strove to turn Christ’s religion into a Jewish one. Certain complaints of Paul, which he cites from Corinthians and Philippians, let one see how the Jewish influence grew. Not in vain had Jesus himself expressly and repeatedly warned against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. And these knew very well why they had themselves baptized. The Christianity that was becoming very dangerous to Judaism was to be made harmless by Jewish Bible falsifications, and by Judaizing made a will-less tool of the finance Judaism already mighty in the whole world. The devil’s work succeeded only too well. The churches know it and, quoting Harnack, do not find the strength and the courage to give truth the honor. Origen, born A.D. 185, confirmed that many people, Jews, had no hesitation in making additions and cuts in the holy text of the gospels. The widely known theology professor Harnack, in his book on the Greek Marcion, published by Hinrichs in Leipzig, tells this historical fact. That Christian Greek Marcion proved, in agreement with what has just been set out, in A.D. 144, at the first Roman synod, before the assembled presbyters, that immediately after Christ’s death a grand Jewish conspiracy against the truth had set in, and that the Jews brought the teaching and the tradition of Christ into confusion and contradiction, so that it should appear as fulfillment and completion of the Jewish law, that further the whole Old Testament has nothing to do with Christ, and that the four gospel reports, the Pauline letters, Acts, Revelation, and the letters of various authors who appeared under the names of apostles and apostolic disciples, as they lie before us, are all, in title and content, falsifications of the Jews, and so church Christianity is a Jewish one. Mighty was the success of his unveilings. The Judaized church was in the greatest danger. With boundless energy it stepped to the fight. It destroyed Marcion’s ingenious writings and his communities. The reformer Dr. M. Luther came to the judgment that the Jews, these right liars and bloodhounds, his quotation of Luther, have from the beginning until now without ceasing twisted and falsified Scripture with their lying glosses. He cites Luther, Von den Juden und ihren Lehren, page 120, and Luther’s plea to the Hebraists to clean the holy old Bible of the Jews’ dirt.

Chief pastor Andersen in Flensburg, in Der deutsche Heiland, Munich 1921, page 47, calls the falsifications of the gospels so thoroughly Jewish, raw, and superstitious that one turns with a formal breath of relief to the Syrian text of the Codex Lewisianus, a Syrian original of the gospel, found on Sinai in 1892, in which still in the first quarter of the fifth century the place Matthew 1:16 honestly reads: Joseph, to whom the virgin Mary was betrothed, begot Jesus. Andersen suspects that Jesus and Mary were of Aryan blood and enters the sharpest protest against the bold attempt to bring Jesus into sexual connection with Judaism or even to make him a son of David. We now know, Wieland says, that the Old Testament was put together by Jews out of ancient Aryan books for their political purposes, and that the New Testament too, beside Aryan Germanic wisdom, contains gross Jewish falsifications. Ignorant Christian priests veiled the truth from the people, also the truth taught by Jesus, gave out as religion, truth, and revelation what is only allegory and symbolism, fairy tale, fable, parable, and falsification, and forced the Christian peoples, with all the means of the cruelest inquisition, to believe as truth and divine revelation what is only poetic clothing of basic truths or bold falsification by a criminal society. One leaves the bandage on the people’s eyes and gives the exoteric, the shell, out for the esoteric, the kernel. The rite of the church, which is supposed to interpret the Aryan wisdom symbolically and which formed itself out of the mysteries of the old Aryan religion, is taught to the people as dogma and revelation. In addition the church, the Catholic as well as the Protestant, supports the efforts of the Jewish Bolsheviks to gain world rule, by designating the Jewish people, against the truth, as the chosen people. The same reproach must be made to the school. From utterances of clergy who have read Baldur und Bibel it is known that thousands of them suspect the truth and wait longingly for the day on which they may say it and free our people from an enormous lie. If that does not happen, there is the danger that the people will throw away the kernel with the shell. If the Bible is now interpreted after its real, secret sense and freed of the Jewish falsifications, then it becomes, as the last section but one will prove, a mighty history of the origin of the world and of mankind, a lofty book of Aryan Germanic wisdom and of Aryan Germanic race ethics and race politics, whose god-willed application guarantees the German people, with natural-law necessity, a shining resurrection and future.

Baldur’s death and return

Section 32, pages 157 to 165, is the Edda’s Baldur read as the Bible’s messianic promises, and as one man. With the death of the wise and just Baldur and with the fall of the land, Atlantis lost its shine, its power, and its golden age of the Arias. A wreath of sagas formed about the people’s favorite, Baldur, which has lasted, and the mighty Ase Baldur on Atlantis is meant. The younger Edda occupies itself carefully with Baldur, the only son of Odin and Freya, and pictures his character. The Bible reports of Baldur in almost the same words. The book of the prophet Isaiah can tell us of Baldur. He takes that allegedly prophetic book as the writing down of the Baldur saga. After Isaiah 4:3 Baldur is the wisest, the fairest, and the best known. The mixed man Loki, the high priest on Atlantis, stood in the way of the Asen rule’s end, or rather Baldur stood in the way of Loki’s end goal. First Baldur and the Asen rule were thoroughly slandered among the credulous people. He cites Isaiah 53:1-3. The Edda agrees. Baldur bore the insults with silent contempt and did his duty like Ludendorff and Hindenburg. Baldur fought heroically. The Nibelung saga makes of Baldur the blond Siegfried, and of Loki the black Hagen. Loki, after the Edda, prepares Baldur a terrible fate. He has the badly wounded Baldur killed. The spiteful Atlantic pope Loki triumphed. The hated Asen rule was broken. The holy ones of God on Atlantis were thrown down. With the throwing down of the Aryan rule on Atlantis, the golden age was gone. The people on Atlantis longed, out of the priest rule, for the just and mild government of Baldur. Visitors from the colonies on Atlantis felt that and made report. In northern Europe the memory of the mighty Ase Baldur remains. He gives place names of the light god Bol, Baldur: Bolzingen, Bolstatt, Bullnheim, Bela. As one lets a saga found a new German realm, so the saga lets Baldur return. He cites places in Isaiah, Ezekiel, and elsewhere. Baldur takes the chair of God, of Odin, and rules. Naturally Baldur is of the family of the Asen. Isaiah designates him as a son of Isai, of the Izeds, that is of an Ase. Baldur will also come again to judgment and will judge the peoples. He quotes the Edda: a strong one from above, who rules everything. Baldur will gather the holy ones of God, the Aryans, about him. Bible and Edda here speak of Atlantis and Baldur, for the islands belonging to Atlantis are expressly meant. Baldur will create a new earth and a new heaven. He cites Isaiah 65:17. After the Edda the earth rises green from the sea. They live again on the Idafeld, united with the Baldur who comes from the dead, and the dragon Nidhögg sinks. Baldur will wipe out all the gods, and all the islands of the heathen, the islands belonging to Atlantis in the midst of the sea, must worship him. In the Bible and the Edda, Baldur will make everything new. He will bring the world peace and will rebuild the palace. Through all the biblical reports of Baldur runs the lower race. Baldur will gather the Aryans, the holy ones of God. Isaiah 60:5 and 9 speaks expressly of Atlantis on the sea and of Baldur. He also cites Micah 5 and Ezekiel 11:15-21. Out of the Aryans a great people will arise, Isaiah 60:22, into whom Baldur will infuse a new spirit. Psalm 72 refers expressly to Baldur and Atlantis between the seas. Under Baldur’s just government, Zechariah 9:2, power will again be given. The savior Baldur will have a world rule. Given Baldur’s historical importance, his worship followed. Among the religious sagas of antiquity that occupy themselves with Baldur, the Babylonian Persian captivity is where the material was taken up, toward a goal no less a man than Jesus himself announced. The Aias’ lament for their king Baldur, and their never-failing hope of his return, is the ground. Who will be their savior and rescuer from need and death, who will be their Baldur, who will smash the heathen round about with an iron staff? No less a one than Christ, the true Christ, as sections 34 and 37 will show.

Baldur worshipped as a god

Section 33, pages 165 to 171, is the same figure under other cult names, from the fall of Atlantis to the present, and the claim that the Roman church continues the Atlantic priest state. Why the Atlantic Ase Baldur, lifted to heaven by the Atlantic priests and honored by the people as a god, was especially honored in all times, has been discussed enough in section 32. The god-father Odin, the god-son Baldur, and the mother of God Freia played, under other names, a great part in all religions from the decline of Atlantis to the present. The preference for Baldur in the cults of the old culture peoples is fairly uniform. Only Baldur’s name and the manner of his worship differ. He cites Minkwitz, Göll, and Petiscus. In Egypt, Baldur was honored as the sun god Osiris, and the mother of God as Isis. Osiris spread good morals in the whole land and gave excellent laws, and after Egyptian teaching died in highest bloom and strength. His death was celebrated in Egypt in unbridled mourning feasts. But Osiris, in the opinion of the Egyptians, had not died. He is risen again. His resurrection was celebrated every year in the spring in roaring feasts. The Osiris-Serapis service and the worship of the mother of God Isis, who in Babylon was called Maya, entered under the Roman emperors at the same time as Christianity. He calls attention to the likeness of the two cults. The unmoralized, racially degenerate Romans sought atonement and cleansing in the Egyptian cult of the mother of God, in its consecrations, feasts, processions, and temple visits, and in joining the outer customs. The participants wore as a federal sign a secret mark, an amulet hanging at the neck, and namely a cross, the old Aryan Atlantic sign. The reader may himself test how far the Osiris and Isis cult is found again in the Roman papal church. A footnote cites Hermann Schneider, Kultur und Denken der alten Ägypter, Leipzig 1907, pages 549 to 554, on the building of the Christian religion out of the Egyptian heathen through the cooperation of Jews from Alexandria.

After the teachings of the Indian holy books, the Rigveda, Vishnu, who is Baldur, is to appear at the end of the present age on a white horse, to reward the good, root out the sinners, and let a new world arise on the ruins of the old. He points to Revelation 6:2 and to the like-sounding reports of the Edda and of Revelation. The place of Vishnu-Baldur is also taken by the Indian fire god and sun god Agni. In his honor the faithful, after the Rigveda, united in a common meal, a consecrated bake of flour and butter, and the soma drink. One thought Agni would dwell unseen in both substances. One therefore enjoyed in bread and soma drink the body and blood of the god Agni and felt oneself in communion with him. We shall meet the same sacramental custom in Hither Asia, Palestine, and Rome. If Catholic priests, on the occasion of the conquest of Central America, also found it among the culture peoples there, the conclusion is justified that the religious practice of receiving the body and blood of the sun god in a sacramental meal is an institution of the Atlantic papacy and so of the lower race. It can in fact also be traced to ancient customs of low-standing human races. One ate the flesh and blood of parents and of killed enemies, to share their strength and their spirit. This custom and ritual murders for these purposes are still frequent in Africa. He cites Frobenius, volume I, page 46 and following. I am not carrying the ritual-murder claim beyond the fact that he makes it and cites that page. The Atlantic priesthood that sprang from the lower race took up the custom and inserted it into the highest acts of worship, by giving the mass, with consecrated bake and wine, the body and blood of the sun god to enjoy.

In all Hither Asia, Baldur was honored under the names Adonis, Tammuz, Attis, Dionysus, and Marduk as a youthfully beautiful god who is killed, but by his death enlivens nature anew and rises splendidly again. The resurrection feast of this god was celebrated every year in the spring, especially in Antioch, the favorite city of the apostle Paul. There his image was buried most solemnly under the lamentations of the women, and on the following day the risen god was greeted with the jubilee cry, the Lord lives, Adonis is risen again. One let his image rise from his grave by a mechanism, similar to what is still done in the Roman Catholic church. He cites Drews, printed here Drems, Die Christusmythe, Jena 1910. In the other Hither Asian cults one held the feast of the resurrection of the god Baldur only on the third day, or on the third day after his death. How strangely like the biblical report of the death and resurrection of Christ sounds. Is it not thinkable that Christian missionaries told those heathen in Hither Asia that their Christ was that god Adonis, Tammuz, Attis, and the rest? One needed only to add that God became man, Christ, in order to be able to offer himself as an atoning sacrifice for mankind, and the new Christian religion was fixed in its ground lines. And strange: just that Paul, who fused the Baldur legend with the Christ idea, had not seen Jesus himself and knew nothing of a historical Jesus. The plain Aryan Jesus would not have dreamed that he would enjoy divine worship in the place of Baldur, Adonis, Attis, and the rest. How he, who expressly called himself only the Son of man, who was against every outer cult and against all outwardness and wanted a religion of the spirit, would have resisted this heathenism.

Even in Jewish circles, already before Christ, the belief in a died and risen anointed one, called Chrischna, Chrestos, was present. Judaism borrowed this view in the captivity from the Parsi religious teaching and from the cult of the Parsi sun god Mithras. As at the services of Adonis and Mithras in Asia Minor, blood sacrifices were also offered in certain Jewish sects at the worship of the died and risen anointed one. The ritual murders of the Hebrews, confirmed by judicial investigations, his claim, rest apparently still on those heathen superstitious customs. He cites A. Fern, Leipzig 1920. I record the citation and do not repeat the charge as a finding. Consecrated meals are also found among Jewish sects already before Christ, of bake and wine, offered to the queen of heaven and to other gods, just as among the Indians and as in the Mithras mysteries. He cites Jeremiah 18, 19, 32, and 44, with the verse numbers as printed. The Essenes and other Jewish sects also practiced the old custom of the holy meal. The evening meal is therefore already an institution of those Jewish sects that honored Baldur and the mother of God, and out of which Christianity developed. In Persia, Baldur appears as the sun god Mithras. His worship happened mostly in secret, in caves and grottoes, and at the time of Christ spread also in the west, and preferably in Rome. As in the sun cult of the Hither Asian sun god Attis, so also in the Mithras cult, for atonement or rebirth, an animal was slaughtered, and often a lamb. The believer attained new life by the sacrificial blood, washing off of all sins, and cleansing and healing of souls. At the Mithras cults, human sacrifices are said not to have been excluded. Even the Roman emperor he prints Eommodus, after his biographer’s report, stained the Mithras sacrifice by a real murder of a man. It is strange that in the Christian church of the first century too, as in the Mithras church, a lamb was solemnly slaughtered and its blood caught in a cup. This lamb was set equal in the Christian church with light and life and with Christ. Therefore Christ was also called the Lamb of God that bears the sins of the world, and light and life. In the first centuries the lamb, in connection with the light and the fire, belonged to the favorite images of church speech. The lamb is also joined with the cross, and a ray-shine of the sun surrounds the lamb’s head. Still now one finds Christ and his sign, the lamb, surrounded by the rays of the sun. That points to the heathen origin of the customs and to Christ as sun god. The church father Tertullian confessed: many believe with probability that our service is sun-god service. And it remained long in the consciousness of pope and church fathers that the Christian cult had stepped into the place of the sun cult, and that Roman churchdom had developed out of the Parsi cult of the sun god Mithras, so out of Atlantic Oriental heathenism. The Christians of the first centuries believed Christ, who like the sun god Mithras was shown with an oval ray-wreath signifying the ecliptic, the sun’s path, was the sun. The church fathers fought the honoring of Christ as the sun with all their powers. Exhaustive proofs are brought by Prof. Andrzey Niemojewsky, Astrale Geheimnisse des Christentums, Frankfurt 1913. Into the sixth century one prayed, Our Lord, the sun, which was later altered to, Our Lord, the God. He cites Blavatsky, volume III.

How the papacy itself thought about Christianity, a few samples. Pope Leo IX once said to Cardinal Bambus: how much the fable of Christ has already brought in to us and to ours is known to all the world. He cites Corvin, Der Pfaffenspiegel. The licentious Pope Alexander VI, 1492 to 1503, living in blood shame with his beautiful daughter Lucretia, laughed at the Christian faith and confessed himself to Prince Pico of Mirandola as no Christian. He designated the stupidest religion as the best. King Philip of France accused Pope Boniface VIII of having said it is insipid to believe in one and in a threefold God. These are Wieland’s reports of speeches, cited from the same kind of book. I set them down as his citations, not as speeches I have checked. By baptism, by the holy meals, by its teaching of the resurrection of the flesh, and by the outer representation of the Mithras cult through a Mithras pope in Rome into the fifth century A.D., the Mithras cult has a very remarkable likeness to the Roman Catholic church and the Roman papacy, and the Christian church later, not without clever calculation, moved the birth feast of Christ to 25 December, that is to the birthday of the unconquered sun god Mithras. The worship of Mithras and of the mother of God played a significant part in Rome in the first centuries of the Christian era. Under the Antonines he came into favor there in earnest, and the emperor Septimius Severus and his sons made the Mithras cult one of the official imperial cults. At the beginning of the fifth century the Christian poet Paulinus mentions the black Mithras caves. The Mithras cult was again related to the gruesome cult of the Etruscans in Italy, played in dark caves, many of whom reached the Roman imperial and papal throne. He cites Grünwedel, Tusca, Leipzig 1922. Only gradually could the Christian church gain a footing in Rome. But already in the third century, the theologian Harnack remarks aptly, Christianity with its priests, sacrifices, and holy mysteries could compete with the most pompous heathen cult. When a fusion of the Isis and Mithras religion with the Roman papal church entered cannot be said for sure, and is carefully kept silent by the latter. The following facts give us much to think about. Pope Hormidas, 514 to 523, bore a Persian name, Ormuzd, Ahura Mazda, and kept it as pope. The holy father bears the name Papas of the Persian, Central American, and Atlantic pope. He sits on the holy Vatican chair, that is on the chair of the holy Mithras pope, adorned with the star signs of the zodiac, and wears the tiara proper to that pope and to the Atlantic pope, and the miter, on his head. The bishops have the staff of the Egyptian gods in the hand, and the Catholic priests still cut their hair, the tonsure, in the manner of the Egyptian Isis priests. On the same Vatican hill, on which the heathen Mithras pope offered the bloody atoning sacrifice for the faithful at the resurrection feast of Mithras-Baldur, and on which the palace of the Parsi popes stood, stands also the palace of the Roman pope and of St. Peter’s, in which the pope offers the holy mass sacrifice. He cites Otto Hauser, Die Germanen in Europa, Dresden 1916, page 110 and following. So the Roman Catholic church appears as a continuation of the heathen Mithras, Osiris, and Isis cult, and has apparently borrowed from the Aryan Christ only the addition “Christian.” Despite the undeniably mighty progress in civilization and culture, there still exists in the main the Atlantic priest state, hostile to Aryans and to culture, the Aryan Atlantic papacy, and the dark heathenism of poor people held in slavery for many thousands of years. The church of Rome has indeed lessened the number of the gods. One lets the faithful pray to a host of patron saints and to the mother of God, and, as among the heathen Slavs, to a godhead consisting of three persons. A footnote says the first Christian church denied the godhead of Christ: Bishop Paul of Samosata at the council of Antioch, Bishop Arius in 325 at Nicaea, 300 bishops at the council in Milan. Still in 358 it was decreed at the council of Ancyra, and confirmed by Pope Liberius, that the Son is not of the same being as the Father.

The historical Jesus

Section 34, pages 171 to 199, is the longest, and it is the section in which he refuses a Jesus in Palestine about 1,900 years ago and puts a Germanic king Esus either on Atlantis or in Germany, at Goslar, before the flood. After the preceding facts it is beyond doubt that the sagas of the Edda about Baldur and the so-called messianic prophecies of the Bible have the same historical background, the son of a Germanic Ase, and refer to the same person, plainly a historically most important personality, a Germanic king or king’s son. Not only because the content agrees, but also because the so-called prophetic books were taken by the Jewish Bible and history falsifiers, in the main, from ancient Atlantic Germanic holy books and documents and reworked for their purposes. Unobjectionable historical evidence for the life of a Jesus in Palestine 1,900 years ago cannot be brought at all. A number of well-informed theologians and historians deny his existence altogether and refer the whole Jesus story to the realm of saga and fable. Prof. Drews, Die Christusmythe, designates the whole story of Jesus, on the ground of thorough investigations, as a myth. Andrzej Niemojewsky, after thorough presentations in a two-volume learned work, Gott Jesus, Munich 1910, calls it an astral myth. At all the learned investigations, a few points seem perhaps not yet, or not enough, appreciated. As set out in the preceding sections, the most important parts of the Catholic rite and a foundational part of its teachings are already found thousands of years before Christ in the Atlantic world religion, and before our era among Central American Indians and in various Hither Asian cults. The first messengers of the Christian church in Tibet recognized, to their greatest astonishment, their own Roman cult trait for trait in Tibetan heathenism. The Grand Lama, the Tibetan pope, offers bread and wine in small amounts, eats and drinks and distributes. That is the evening meal. He wears the tiara, the three-stepped papal crown, like the pope in Rome. Even the crooked staff, bell, and key are not missing. He cites Sven Hedin, III, 281 and following. Add cloisters and altars, monks and nuns, celibacy, incense and holy water, relics of every kind, confession, forgiveness of sins, and the rosary, as in the Catholic cult. Sven Hedin, who visited Tibet himself, sees a catastrophe for the church coming from these facts. Baptism, and namely water baptism and fire baptism, was already usual long before Christ in the Egyptian cult, as old Egyptian pictures sufficiently prove. At reception into the Mithras communities the entrant had to undergo ceremonies which one called sacraments. First he was baptized under the lighting of lights, that is dipped in water, and received a holy sign on the forehead, after the reliable reports of the church father Tertullian a cross, tattooed, which is found drawn on Christian sarcophagi and pictures of the first centuries and on a bishop’s miter of the eighth century. Crossing oneself is an ancient Aryan Germanic custom. Paul himself wore a cross on his body and boasted of it. He cites Galatians 6:17. The cross, worn as a golden, silver, or ivory amulet at the neck, or tattooed on forehead, neck, or breast, or woven into the clothes, counted among the Mithras, Attis, and Adonis communities as a recognition and federal sign. A like custom is found in the present. That Paul wore the cross on his body must not surprise one, since just his birth city Tarsus in Asia Minor was a chief seat of the Adonis, Attis, and Mithras cult. After the baptism a sacramental meal took place, at which the priest blessed, by holy formulas, the unleavened bread, provided with the cross sign, and the cup. One celebrated this communion in memory of the sun god’s last supper before his journey to heaven. He cites Niemojewsky, Gott Jesus, I, 39 and 169 and following. How can a Jesus in Palestine about 1,900 years ago have instituted the sacraments of baptism and the evening meal, if they were already custom long before him? How can he be the founder of the Christian church, if this was in the main already there before him? The Christian church then appears as nothing else than a continuation of the Hither Asian cults of Attis, Adonis, Mithras, and Osiris. The teaching of Jesus is nothing else than shining, native, beautiful embroidery out of foreign riddle stuff. He quotes Beta, page 188.

This is confirmed by no less a one than St. Augustine, with the words: that which is now called the Christian religion existed already among the ancients and was never missing from the beginning of the human race, until Christ came in the flesh. Meant, probably, is an incarnation of a man who had lived earlier. Since then one began to call the true religion, which already existed, the Christian. He cites Niemojewsky, I, 170. After the clear testimony of St. Augustine, the Christian church was already there before the biblical Jesus. Only the name had become other. For the life story and the teaching of Jesus being found long before 1,900 years ago, a few more pieces of evidence. The mother-of-God stories, annunciation, conception, birth, homage, and the flight of the mother of God on a she-ass, are found after Niemojewsky already long before in Egyptian, Indian, and Hither Asian religious sagas. A good knower of Indogermanic mythology, Paul Koch, Die arischen Grundlagen der Bibel, Berlin 1914, comes after thorough investigations to the result, page 158, that the life course of Jesus agrees strikingly with that of all the other sun gods, only with the difference that it shows Jewish insertions and has then been brought into harmony with the mythical tales of the Old Testament and its prophecy, so, Wieland adds, by Jewish falsifications. The miracles of Jesus differ in nothing from the deeds of the other sun gods and can be shown to be ancient sagas. Koch, page 167. Common to the pre-Christian cults is also the worship of a queen of heaven and mother of God, pictured much as the mother of God Mary. The goddess Diana of the Ephesians is hard to distinguish from the picture of the mother of God on a church seal at Salzburg. Both wear a cross on the head, and to left and right of them are sun, moon, and stars. Mostly the queen of heaven is so pictured that she has the moon at her feet. Revelation 12:1. It is quite significant that Freia was so pictured by the pre-Christian Germans too. German history tells that Charlemagne destroyed a heathen temple in Freiaburg, Magdeburg, in which was a wonderful image of the goddess Freia that looked exactly like that of the mother of God Mary: the moon and the snake at her feet, the star crown on her head, and the apple in her hand. It is remarkable that among the Greeks the mother of God and queen of heaven was called Maja, and the mother of Buddha bore the same name. Maja is our German Maria. Still more remarkable, in some places still today, so at Annaberg in Upper Silesia, a Madonna with two children is prayed to. It is the heathen queen Latona, who flees a snake. On some Christian Madonna pictures the second child is hidden. One sees again how the Christian Mary cult is only the continuation of ancient heathen cult, and how it too points to events in the gray prehistory. The cult of the queen of heaven and mother of God Maja, Mylitta, Isis, was intimately tied to that of her son Buddha, Adonis, Attis, Osiris. His death and resurrection were already, long before Christ, dramatically presented at the Easter feast in Antioch in Syria, so where the first Christian community arose, and a journey to hell is pictured in one of the finest graves at Biban el-Muluk in Upper Egypt. The researchers Rudolf Seydel, Leipzig 1882 and Weimar 1897, and G. A. van den Bergh van Eysinga show that the life story and teaching of Jesus agree almost wholly with those of Buddha, who yet lived 500 years before him. Even the sermon on the mount and the beatitudes Buddha has, and of the latter 7 instead of 9 in Jesus. In the story of Buddha and Krishna we have the life of Jesus. The teachings of Buddha written down in 108 great volumes in the Tibetan language contain in their world view the whole foundation of Christianity. The king’s son Buddha is himself only again a thoroughly saga-like person, pointing back into gray times. Beta brings evidence that he lived before the last flood. After the facts so far reported, the teaching of the Christian church, that Jesus lived 1,900 years ago, cannot be maintained. Alleged historical proofs of it have turned out to be forged.

Did Jesus, whose teaching was able to exert so great an influence on the culture world before the beginning of our era, never live at all? Does one believe the Hebrews are chasing a phantom when they curse and insult Jesus in their holy books? They know quite exactly that a historical personality is in question. Should the gospels, which, rightly understood, are of enormous reach and high moral meaning, be poems of any men whatever? Poems of Jews? Excluded. The high moral spirit shining from the gospels, which Goethe already could not praise enough, cannot have sprung from a Hebrew brain. That is attested by every race researcher. The Hebrews would besides have taken good care not to hurl teachings like those of Jesus, which are opposed to their world view and threaten them with ruin, into the Germanic world they hated. Jesus was none of theirs. His world-overturning teaching, resting on deep knowledge of nature, of the rooting out of the human weed, could have sprung from no Jewish spirit, but only from a Germanic spirit, the spirit of a god’s son, a Goth’s son. He points to section 37. The bottomless hate of the Jews against him and his teaching and against the cross, which shows itself in a blasphemous way in their holy writings, has without doubt a historical background. He cites Theodor Fritsch, Der falsche Gott, Leipzig, Hammer press. This Jesus must have been a Germanic personality of surpassing importance, and direction-giving for the Germanic world through tens of thousands of years. Without doubt he was one of those who, in a time of distress of Aryan being, pointed to the terrible danger of mixing with the children of the devil and demanded their rooting out, and also took the field against their bloody sacrifice laws and customs. It also lies near that he was therefore persecuted with rage and hate by the whole Hebrew being. Jesus and his teaching did not spring from Judaism. Whoever disputes that denies all political, race-study, and natural-law facts.

Who then was Jesus? The Germans practiced the custom of honoring famous ancestors, heroes, Asen, and kings, and of naming constellations after them, of setting them in and on the starry sky, out of which the god worship of the lower race gradually arose. If Niemojewsky explains the whole story of Jesus as an astral myth, he is not wrong, only he has overlooked that historical persons and facts underlie it. The Germans, on their colonization marches, brought their history and saga and the tidings of the deeds of their high ancestors into all the world, also to India and to Atlantis-America. In the persons identical with Jesus, Baldur, the wise, the shining, from bal, bel, white, shining, shimmering, Osiris, Adonis, Attis, Marduk, Krishna, Buddha, and the rest, a high original Germanic personality is to be seen, since sagas are faithful traditions of old history, a personality that in teaching and life must have been of the greatest influence on the shaping of the fates of the Germanic peoples. Let us return to the cradle of the Christian church, to Asia Minor and Palestine. There, since 1000 before Christ, Germanic bands had immigrated in uninterrupted marches by the land road and had founded settlements. Therefore Asia Minor is a chief find-place of the Germanic swastika. He cites Schliemann again, the same pages as before. To their greatest surprise the crusaders found in the Lebanon range still blond, blue-eyed inhabitants with German-sounding speech. All Hither Asia and the northern fruitful part of Palestine, Galilee and Samaria, were flooded with Celts, Chelden, heroes, Hellenes, the blonds, who after Döllinger, here once printed Völlinger, brought their home culture, their religious customs, their sagas, and their history. These Celts were also called Chatti, Cheti, Gedi, Goths, Chaldeans. Among their ancestors they especially honored the king, the god, Esus, in religious feasts that melted together with the Mithras and Adonis cult. The blessed cup, the community of the bread, the old Germanic love meal, was no novelty to them. What is more natural than that the name of their king, their god, Esus, Jesus, stepped into the place of Adonis? The old cult stayed. Only the name changed. The name Jesus is not foreign to the Bible knower. It is found in Jesus Sirach 49:14, a piece likewise falsified by the Hebrews, an original Germanic writing, presumably an old Germanic collection of sayings. The name Jesus was known in the whole antiquity as that of a health bringer and patron of physicians, and as such shows everywhere a remarkable likeness to the Christian Jesus. Not only the name Jesus was taken up by the Christian church, but also his tribal sign, the lamb in connection with the original Germanic cross in its various forms. The original Germanic tribal and race sign is found not only on the bishop’s miter mentioned at the start, but also in older Christian churches, so at Lellenfeld in Bavaria and on the Viborg cathedral, and in the midst of the so-called Christian cross in the Vandrup church near Golding. This was already joined with the son of God thousands of years B.C. The tribal sign of Theos, Zius, his father, the sun, is also brought into connection with the other signs, and so we find in the Christian church Jesus Christ joined with his original Germanic badges, cross and sun, and with the sign of the Germans, the lamb. He is therefore, after the interpretation of the old clan, tribal, and people signs, to be regarded as a German king. That is not to be doubted. The name of the Celtic Germanic king, god, Esus Jesus, and his sign and the lamb, point us definitely to the Germanic descent of Jesus, and so does the story of Buddha. Buddha came from the family of the Caken or Cakja, the Saka. He is designated in Indian hymns as Sakhymuni, that is as the man of the Saka. We know that the ruling caste of the Indians were immigrated Germans. He cites Dr. Biedenkapp. The noble family from which Buddha Jesus sprang were Germanic Saka, whose original home was north Germany. Something like it is said by Buddha’s byname Gotama, which may mean the one coming from the Goth home and from the Goth family. His mother bears the old Germanic name Maja. In Greek mythology the mother of God Maja is designated as the daughter of Atlas, so as the daughter of a Germanic Atlantic Ase. If one finds on Buddha statues the totem of Jesus, the swastika, one need not wonder. Buddha is the saga personality for the Chelden king Esus, Jesus, provided with that totem. The totems will first put us on the right track. It is also quite explainable that the Celts and Suebi who immigrated into Galilee, the land of the Galatian Celts, practiced there in their many communities the honoring of their great ancestor, and that his story gradually attached itself to the places they occupied, which they often named with home names, for example Tabor, Jerusalem, Jerichow, Capernaum, Nazareth after Nasserreit in Tyrol. He cites Dr. Stuhl, Nordlands Untergang. In Bethlehem there was, as Jerome reports, an old grove and a sanctuary of the god Attis, father, Adonis, father of the Danes, Esus. And it is quite remarkable that the Christian church lets Jesus be born just there. The hill Golgotha was likewise an ancient cult place of the Canaanite Germans subjected by the Hebrews, so that the connection of the evangelical Jesus with the place of the skull need not surprise one. Among the Germans of Palestine, Jesus bore various names. One called him the divine son, the Messiah or Christ, the anointed, which points to royal descent, the archangel Michael, or also Joshua, that is God help, savior and redeemer. He cites Drews. After Jesus, or after the branch from the root of Jesse, that is after the king from the family of Esus, there named themselves in Canaan Essenes and the Jesaeans, who were related to the Essaeans or Nazareans, if not the same. As Epiphanius witnesses, these were already there long before Christ. They were called Nazarenes because they honored the divine son as keeper and watcher, Syriac nas arpa, Ase of the Aryans. Jesus was one of the noblest of the sect of the Nazarenes, and these are designated as his first followers. The Nazarenes wore, like the Essaeans and the Germanic free men, long hanging hair, the sign of the free and the noble. Jesus too is so pictured.

Revelation can also give us some information about the ancient historical events. It is a piece of astronomy, earth history, and race history. Its presentations rest wholly on the old star signs and star maps, and these again on the old people and tribal signs and on ancient race and people history. Whoever does not understand the peculiar manner of presentation sees these ancient history and saga books as mad, absurd stuff. So the seven trumpets and the puzzling torch beasts are badges of the Atlantic American robber tribes, which fell upon the lamb, the Aryans, Elohim, Hellenes. He cites Beta, page 322. The seals of Revelation are likewise tribal arms, so the first and the sixth seal, that of Orion, Arion, Jesus, Israel. Beta, page 321. The white horse signifies the white race, the red the red race, the black the Negro race, and the pale the Mongolian race. All fell upon the Aryans, the fifth seal, the holy ones of God, the children of Israel, and murdered them. The name Israel is a collective name for Germanic tribes and was stolen by the Hebrew Bible falsifiers, to let the Hebrews appear as the master people. At the time of Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, the Antichrist lived, that is the old snake, Satan. Those were the colored devil peoples, Taifals, breaking into Europe from Atlantis, America, and Asia in devastating raids. Revelation praises the Son of man, Esus, as the rescuer of the lambs, the Germans. With the advancing mixing of the Galilean and Samaritan Germans with the Jews in the south, their history and saga books came into the hands of the latter. In order to gain influence among the Germans of Hither Asia, who were hostile to them, Jews had themselves received by baptism into the community of the Germanic honorers of their ancestor Jesus, and falsified the history and saga of Esus and the family registers of Jesus so that the same appeared as a Jewish scion and the snake and dragon people as the chosen holy people of God, a political chess move of the first quality, which in the sequel became disastrous for Germandom in every respect.

If this presentation is right, then the Jesus saga would also have to be found in Germany. Certainly. The ancient traditions of an old Irmin family, guarded as a secret, which he may now communicate, say that before the great flood, in Goslar, Idarvalla, Jöruvalla, a German king’s son, Esus Jesus, was bound to a tree and martyred. Thuringian sagas report something like it, communicated in Beta, page 97. Among the purely Germanic original people of the Cimmerians, compare the Cimbri and the Chiemgau, who after Homer lived in the north, a crucified original godhead, a royal ancestor, was already honored long ago in pre-Christian time. He cites Dr. Sepp and Erich Jung, both Munich. The pictures of the crucified holy Kümmernis still recall it. It is significant that the figure of the martyred one wears a royal crown and a cross, the badge of Jesus, on the breast, and that the lily at the cross is also still a Germanic, Frankish, tribal sign, still found in France. What the picture is supposed to mean, the name of the bound one tells us. He is called Kymini, which is supposed to mean the king of the Cimmerians or Cimbri. The medieval legend, in ignorance of the historical meaning, made St. Kümmernis of it, or was it intentional falsification, to cover the true history? One is inclined to assume the latter when one hears that in the last centuries the many original Germanic Kymini pictures were allowed to vanish inconspicuously. The consequences of discovering the historical truth would have been too terrible. In the Vatican, in whose library very many of the German history documents confiscated at the Christianizing of Germany vanished, one knows the historical truth very well, as well as the fact of the origin of the church of Rome from the heathen Mithras cult. In Dante’s time one still heard in Italy the cry of need, may the holy Volto help me. In Aosta in Italy a triumphal arch bears his name, St. Voult, Vul, Volto. This one was a king, and the crucified one whom saga and picture have preserved for us from the farthest time. He is the crucified lord named by Revelation, who lived before the flood, probably before the last flood, the flood arising by the capture of Luna, and the flood after him is called the flood of Vul. The Odin saga also belongs here. And the Baldur saga, after Bugge, Nordic studies, brings many a hint of Christ. Osiris was wounded by Set-Typhon, Satan, so by Satan Hebrews, and thereby, like Jesus, received a mark on his body. Remains of the life story of Esu are found in Gothic gospel manuscripts. The Heliand, the Adam manuscript, and the Saxon Genesis are, after Beta, not a poetic reworking of the gospels but Germanic poetry of older Germanic sagas. It says everything for the origin of the Christian church that the first Christian communities formed just where Germanic immigrants, Celts, people of Trier, Galatians, Galileans, sat most densely, and where the Attis, Adonis, and Mithras cult was most eagerly practiced. The Christology was finished before Christ was allegedly born 1,900 years ago.

The Baldur saga and the Adonis saga are wholly related. Baldur and Adonis are the king’s son who was wounded by a boar and martyred on a stake, later replaced by his tribal sign, the cross. An ancient picture in Goslar shows a high personality fettered to a tree with ropes, martyred with arrow shots. Beta, page 141. After the old reading, the cross of Jesus was a tree, a green wood. He cites Bugge on Baldur’s death, I, 46 to 51. Ancient pre-Christian drawings in a Mexican manuscript present something similar. On pre-Christian Mexican pictures the crucified one is fallen upon by Indian Egyptian vultures, and behind stand wolf and flying snake, totems of Indian tribes. In the Maya codex, Troano II, 10a, one finds the picture of a stag spitted on a tree. The stag was, beside the lamb, the sign of the Hellenes, the blonds, and of Esus and Orion. So one is dealing with a king of the whites, pinned to a tree by Indians with a lance and martyred. Revelation 5:6 and following speaks of the seven-horned lamb, that is the totem stag of the Germans. A bronze amulet in the Vatican museum shows the birth of Jesus, the holy three kings, and stags as Jesus’s tribal sign underneath. A Germanic Asen godhead, a king, with the stag sign on the head is found on the silver cauldron of Gundestrup. The king, Esus, strangles the old snake, the Hebrews. Stones with ancient Germanic runes and the stag sign were found in dolmens at Alvao in Portugal, a proof of how far back the tribal sign stag and its history already reach. The stag steps on the snake. That means that the crucified Germanic king treads the snake, the people of the Hebrews. These pictorial, or perhaps more rightly picture-writing, presentations are irrefutable documentary proofs from old time for the fact that the crucified one was a Germanic king. On the ancient Gosforth cross in Cumberland one sees as the crucified a man with belt and horn, that is, after the star-picture speech, Orion, Arion, the king of the Aryans, pressed by two fishes, the army sign of an Atlantic bastard people. With belt and horn, Revelation also pictures the Son of man, that is Esus Jesus, and so Orion Arion is also shown on old star maps. In Swiss grave fields, bronze buckles with pictures were found. Wolves, the totem of tribes hostile to the Germans, bite a man, who has the posture of one bound or crucified, in the feet. Other ancient pictorial presentations from the Magdalenian time show a rider, presumably Esus, whom a snake, the totem of red tribes, the old snake of Revelation, bites in the heel. The Indian god Krishna, who is equal to Baldur Esus, is struck in the heel by an arrow shot. All memories of Germanic prehistory. Compare Genesis 3:15. In Jewish Freemason lodges in America and France a picture of the crucified one, pierced in the side, the spleen, with a lance, is shown, and higher grades wear a cross burned into the sole of the foot, so that they must step on the tribal sign of Jesus. The Jews know the historical background of their hate against the carpenter’s son. The Anglo-Saxon poem Satan lets Jesus be wounded by arrows. This recalls the torture stake of the Indians and an ancient Jesus picture in the town hall at Goslar, on which the martyred one is covered from top to bottom with arrow wounds. In agreement the Attis and Adonis saga reports that the king’s son Attis was struck by arrows and a lance. On an ancient relief one sees foreign signs, red tribes, fighting against the sign of the eye, that is against Germandom. For the sign of the Germanic ancestor king Theos Tius is an eye surrounded by a triangle and by sun rays and clouds, as one still sees it on Christian altars and gravestones. One is also reminded of the picture of the fettered Prometheus, who was wounded in the side by a vulture. The book he prints as Worfae brings a picture of the crucified one, over whom is the sign Hand of the Indian Mexican enemies of the whites, which hints that he fell into their power. Jesus was also called the conqueror of the mountain giants at the Urd well. The holy history is ancient. Ancient coins have in ancient script the word d’Esu, and on the reverse a kneeling woman. The god and king of the Celts is Jesus. His name Esus is found on an ancient stone in the Notre Dame church in Paris, where he is pictured as an ancestor godhead, and in Celtic it means the brave one. He and his disciples spoke Galilean, that is a Celtic dialect, and his story was originally written down excellently in Celtic Germanic speech. After Beta. That the gospel manuscripts were mostly recorded in the Greek language is explained by Greek being, at the beginning of our era, the chief traffic language of Asia Minor. Jesus came, after the Bible, from the Germanic tribe Jesse, Esus, of the Asen. The Sigurd saga also contains ancient holy stories, and so does the Siegfried saga. It is significant that it lets the sun’s son Siegfried be struck to death by the lance throw of a bastard, Hagen. He cites Icelandic folk sagas of Arnason, German by Lehmann Filhes, 1889.

Mythology can tell us still more about the history of our savior Jesus. Baldur and Siegfried fought the dragon. Marduk likewise, and the snake. Jason likewise. Adonis, Esus, the boar. Osiris, Seth, Satan. The archangel Michael, Satan the dragon. Christ, Satan, and as the knight George the dragon. He cites Isaiah 51:9, Isaiah 27:1, Revelation 12:7-9, and the temptation places in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Mary, Maja, the queen of heaven, steps, after Christian and pre-Christian presentations, victoriously on a snake, a worm. Hand, dragon, snake, worm, star, moon, and boar were, after Beta’s unobjectionable investigations, the army and tribal signs of Asiatic, American, and Atlantic robber peoples, who, laying everything waste, broke into the formerly Germanic Europe. Who does not think of the Chinese dragon, which already often, in the shape of Hun and Mongol armies, laid Germany waste in a gruesome way, and of the soviet star, the sign of the Ebräer. The arms of the Ebräer, the Hebrews, is also the snake, which Moses had raised in the desert and even worshipped. On the Externsteine, under the cross of Jesus, a flying dragon and a snake are the guilty. Hebrews and Mongols are his murderers. The queen Latona, his mother, flees the snake, that is the Hebrews. Jesus therefore had, in the gray prehistory, to fight the Jews and their allies, the Taifals and the Satans, and to suffer from them, and not in Palestine, but either on Atlantis itself or in Germany. Paul, who wore the sign of Jesus tattooed on his body, says himself to the Galatians that Jesus was crucified among them, that is in the Celtic land. He cites Galatians 6:17. In 1916 there appeared in Berlin, at Bartels, a remarkable writing, a 200-year prophecy of the World War, from the manuscript made in 1717 by a Tyrolean monk of the cloister Waldrast, found in 1821 at the farmer Purtscheller in the Stubai valley. The content of the alleged prophecy is, like the Lehnin one, nothing but the description of those years-long fights, mentioned in section 28, of the lamb and the cross with dragon, snake, star, moon, trident, and hand. The historical content, using the text as closely as possible, the additions in parentheses being the author’s, is this. From the morning land and the evening land and from the south the peoples stood up against the peoples who lived in the middle, of Europe, Germany, and toward midnight, the north. Disaster raged against them at all ends and corners. They were visited by terrible chastisements, and lamentation was at all ends. Nine realms from the morning land and the evening land had marched out against the lands of the bearded peoples, the Germans. The war was kindled by the malice, baseness, and slander of a small people, presumably the people of the snake, which murdered a noble prince and his consort, see Latona, and slandered him and his people. His own friends were against him. The prince was cruelly murdered with his consort, but seems only to have seemed dead and to have become well again, because he is designated as victor in the coming fights. Under the field cry, With God forward, and with the cross on the breast, he took up, at the head of his white-clothed army, the decisive fight against the peoples of the whole world. A terrible fight burned from one sea to the other, the like of which the world has not seen and will never see again. The seas colored themselves with blood, so sea battles too, and a fight burned from the highest mountains to the bottom of the sea. The prince of the sea was beaten with his heathen and Moors, and his land, Atlantis, came into deep misery. His own peoples stood up against him, and the princes of the desert, Africa, turned the sharpness of the sword against him. Presumably the peoples subjected by Atlantis used the defeat of the sea king for a rising against him. Compare section 27. His ships, the feared Atlantic war fleet, were burned with fire, and his friends left him. The monsters of the deep rose and ate his grain, and fiery dragons burned his treasures. The land in the west, Atlantis, was laid waste, and the children of the east, Mongols, the dragon, had to draw into misery, and many died of hunger on the way and became food for the wolves and the fire. The last cruel battle was fought between four cities with four like towers, there where a cross stood between two lime trees. Compare the Lehnin prophecy. The victor wore a cross on the breast, the sign of Jesus, and thanked God with arms spread for the victory. The war began in autumn and ended in spring. The princes of the Germans closed a bond for the protection of the following 100-year peace and became rulers over lands and seas. The kingdom of God, the kingdom of the Goths, of the lamb, is what he reads there. The errata says that on page 182, line 5 from the bottom, the word must be Jesus. I do not guess which word on that page was wrong.

The section goes on, through nearly twenty further pages, stacking the same identifications onto images and local cults: the crucifixion as a pre-Christian Germanic and Mexican picture, the Goslar martyr, the Kümmernis, the Volto, the Gosforth cross, the Gundestrup cauldron, the Alvao dolmens, the Externsteine, and the Tyrolean manuscript just quoted. I have given the names, places, and the two dates he is willing to use, Atlantis or Germany, and before the last flood. The rest of the section repeats that the church’s Christ is this older king with a new name. It adds no second sinking date.

From Atlantic Christianity to the Atlantic papacy

Section 35, pages 199 to 218, is the cult after the fall of the Aias, and the claim that later churches continue the Atlantic priest state. I will not rehearse every parallel. The new claims that belong beside the earlier sections are these. When the organized Atlantic priesthood had the animal-men in fear, the Atlantic colonies in Central America, Egypt, China, India, and Babylonia were full of animal service. Religion sank to beast service. Ezekiel 8:10 pictures the beast service in the Atlantic temple, and various psalms, presumably Atlantic, do the like. The same customs in the other Atlantic colonies are, for him, the proof of one Atlantic priest state and of its spread through the whole world. Among post-Atlantic Indian tribes one finds sprinkling, and the requirement that a victim be of the land and without fault. The devilish aim, his word, was gradually to wipe out the last traces of Aryan blood on Atlantis and in the Atlantic colonies, so as to rule the remaining mass. The customs of the Atlantic priest state naturally entered all the Atlantic colonies after the throwing down of the Aryans, and are found, after many court judgments, still today among the people he derives from Atlantis. Sacrifice in the temple is why Jesus called it a den. He traces the Jewish Atlantic custom of human sacrifice into later religion. Heathen religion spread in all the Atlantic colonies, and Atlantic papism, both practice the rite of circumcision, also among some Negro tribes of former Atlantic colonies. The historical continuation of the blood-dripping Atlantic papism is found in all post-Atlantic religions, including the doctrine of sins. Ancient Atlantic, Indian, and Hebrew views. In the god processions in Babylon the statue of Thor is carried. Precious priest garments, which in the whole Atlantic world the three priest ranks wore, prove the existence of the old Atlantic priesthood. The Atlantic high priest already dared a further building out. Little different forms of the old Atlantic priest state were probably formed on the pattern of the Atlantic priest state. The popes’ striving from of old is the idea of the Atlantic priest state. To spread the idea of the world rule of the Atlantic god state, Atlantic papism and its two chief representatives sowed the phrases. A mixed rabble arises that willingly submits to the Atlantic power of the church. He quotes a line about being brought under the power of the church, of Atlantic papism. Atlantic papism is like an enormous polyp. In Jesus the Aryan spirit reared up against the rape of the Aryan people by the Atlantic priest state. The former Jesuit Count von Hoensbroech is named against the papacy. The high priest Loki’s aim on Atlantis, the rooting out of the Aryan race, is the aim he assigns to the later church. The savior of the Aryan world from the gruesome beast of the Atlantic priest state is the figure of the earlier sections. The work of the Vandals, he says, is the devilish work of Atlantic Rome. Bavarians and Thuringians were led against the Wodan-believing Saxons. The section’s close sets Germanic being and Atlantic papacy opposite each other as two races and two directions: the god-man and the human of the Bible, the holy ones of God and the human animals, the realm of the Aryan Christ and Atlantic heathenism, the Aryan Christian realm of the spirit and the Jewish mammonist worldly realm of the Atlantic papacy, the old Germanic sign of God and the sign of the great beast, snake and dragon. The new Atlantis fact in this stretch is not a new date. It is the claim that animal worship, human sacrifice, circumcision, three priest ranks, and the carrying of Thor’s image are Atlantic, and that later churches inherited them after the Aias fell.

The fall of the Aias and the World War

Section 36, pages 218 to 236, says Germany’s war is the Atlantic story over again, and it gives the only new numbers, the seven-year cycles. In race-mixed bodies the hereditary masses of the higher and the lower kind wrestle constantly for the rule. If the lower-race blood is weakly mixed in, the nobler race wins. Otherwise the lower race gets the overweight. The lower-race blood works on the nobler kind as poison and solvent. The body therefore seeks to excrete it by sicknesses, mostly in the seven-year circles, so most strongly in the years divisible by seven. With increasing age, if the admixture is stronger, the lesser kind strikes through. If a noble-race family mixes in several generations with the lower race, it sinks to the lesser kind. Exactly so in the life of a noble-race people, since the people is composed of the single cells of the families. Small admixtures of bad blood are at first still absorbed and excreted. When the admixtures heap up and grow larger, sicknesses enter the people’s body, which one calls revolutions, and in the single body fever. These increase in frequency and strength, and their intervals shorten, in the measure of the saturation with lower-kind blood. This happens with natural-law necessity and regularity in periods of 7 times 70, equaling 490 years, which he also writes 500, and 7 times 21, equaling 147 years, which he also writes 150. Those are the true causes and driving forces of the events calculated and predicted from history by Stromer-Reichenbach, Oswald Spengler, and Kemmerich. He cites Stromer-Reichenbach, Deutsche, verzaget nicht, Ludwigshafen on the Bodensee, and Spengler, Untergang des Abendlandes, Munich 1918. He suspects Spengler’s aim is to lame the German’s strength and to present his planned destruction by the Atlantic papacy as a natural law. The history of a people originally higher in race, and ruined by race mixing, will repeat itself in a like way in another people that is likewise worsening by race crossing. So the death of many Aryan cultures is explained, and the victory of the lower race on Atlantis. The throwing down and rooting out of the Aias was possible only when the noble race blood of the Aias was already spoiled and saturated, when the Aryans had lessened in number, and when the lower race, soaked with Aryan blood, was capable of a greater feat of strength against the Aias. It needed only the purposeful leadership of the revolutionaries by the priests to bring Asgard to a fall and to destroy the Asen. Revolutions are race fights. Even a superficial comparison shows a remarkable likeness of the events on Atlantis and those of the World War. As in the cities on Atlantis, so in the German cities. On Atlantis the organized Atlantic priesthood took the leadership of the lower race. In the World War, Judah and Rome in secret union. Both wars were, from of old, of the Atlantic papacy. The English and French fleet blockaded the Germans as at Atlantis. As on Atlantis, one slandered the Aryan leaders. On Atlantis it was pretended that only the throwing down of the monarchy was in question. No freedom followed, but the pressing rule of the Atlantic priest state. The Atlantic priest state demands, through the fiery pool, the throwing in of its enemies. He also speaks of the blood guilt of the other Atlantic tool. The most important tool of the Atlantic papacy is the press and the parties. The rest of the section applies the parallel to named German politicians, to Reims, and to the Center. It adds no new place for the island and no new year for the sinking. The likeness he wants kept is the one already told in section 27: a priest leads a mixed majority against a thinned Aryan ruling layer, a fleet blockades the city, and the end is not freedom but a priest state.

The secret of Scripture

Section 37, pages 236 to 255, is the esoteric reading, and he says part of it is taken from Lanz-Liebenfels and corresponds to the views of the old church fathers. If one reads the Bible after the explanations of the Christian church fathers and after the secret keys made by the theologians Lagarde and Jörg v. Lanz-Liebenfels, one finds that this most precious book of all books is in its real meaning the same as the esoteric teaching of the Egyptian, Roman, Chaldean, Assyrian, Babylonian, the people he prints as Kranian, Indian, and Atlantic initiates, and of the Armanen, Brahmans, and Templars, so of the Aryan Germanic priesthoods. Old and New Testament and Christianity are thus Aryan spiritual good, apart from additions and falsifications. He cites the Bible commentaries of Philo, Josephus, Origen, Jerome, and Augustine, Lanz-Liebenfels on the Greek and Latin Bible versions, Leipzig 1908 and 1909, and Lagarde, Onomastica sacra, Göttingen 1870, a sort of lexicon of the biblical secret speech, put together from old sources. The secret of the Bible, hidden in parables and allegories, is in short strokes the following. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word. The Word, after Revelation, is Christ, after the Greek translation the Kyrios, the Logos, that is, after the Gothic translation of Bishop Ulfilas, Frauja, the all-Germanic Fro, the god of pure-kind love, the tribal god of the Aryans, the genius of the Germans, their tribal ancestor, and the founder of the city of Goslar. He cites Lanz-Liebenfels, Ostara no. 83, page 10, and Beta. This Logos is the principle of begetting, maintenance, and world government, the uninterruptedly creative world energy, the radiating ether of modern science, which was in the beginning. By its condensation the world bodies arose, and plant and animal life, also on our earth, first in lower, then in ever higher forms. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. That is, out of the animal beings there gradually developed the pre-human, the highest being of the earth, the god-man, equipped with electromagnetic forces which we no longer possess. Thanks to his equipment the ancestor of men, as the best part of creation, held the predominance in the Secondary and the Tertiary. The pre-humans were called, in the whole original Christian and old literature, gods, firstlings, firstborn, protoplasts, stars, heaven, and at last and most often angels, which he derives as Angelois, Angles, whites. These angels, recalling the flying saurians of the Tertiary equipped with hands, were beings standing near to men. Their descendants, called sons of gods in Genesis 6, the children of God, mixed sexually with man-like animals and begot with them half-human, half-animal monsters, giants. Thereby the animal-human race was bred upward and became a dangerous enemy of the white Aryan god-man race, which inversely worsened in body and mind by the inflow of animal blood. That was the fall of the Bible, which brought the god-man original sin, that is hereditary evil and the curse of race mixing. Genesis 3. The human animals are the ancestors of the black, brown, red, and yellow human race. The Germans are the descendants of the god-men. Remains of them are the Germans in all the world, including the German Swiss and the German Austrians, the Baltic Germans, Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, and Dutch. The English have already become mixed. The mixed races, Slavs, Mediterraneans, Jews, are a middle thing between god-men and animal-men. God set, after Genesis 3, eternal enmity between the Aryan god-man race on one side and the mixed and the lower race on the other. The greatest crime the Aryans commit, after the Bible, is that they mix sexually with the lower race, strengthen them in their fight, and animalize their own kind by taking in inferior blood. That is the sin against God and the holy spirit. The fight of the races began after they arose. Cain slays his brother Abel, that is the animal-humankind falls upon the family of the Aryan god-man race chosen by selective breeding and seeks to root it out. This family gets replacements. God saw with anger that these Adam men, animal Udumum men, became more like the Aryan sons of gods. It repented him that he had created the black, brown, red, and yellow beasts, that is had let them arise by mixing marriages. By geological events a part of them was destroyed, the fall of Lemuria and of Atlantis. Whoever wants his family to become godlike again must abstain from the sin, the mixing with heathenism, the lower race, and must practice race pure-breeding. Then the light of the world comes again, the Logos, Kyrios, Frauja, Fro, the Germanic ancestor, and gives him power to be called a child of God. To him he also promises grace and everything good to the thousandth generation. Those who hate God and his race law, that is who do not follow it and mix with the beasts and the heathen, he punishes their sins on the children to the third and fourth generation. Perhaps the cult meal, the evening meal, of the old Aryans was meant as a constant warning not to slacken in following the old covenant law. Again and again the Bible preaches the blessing of pure breeding and ties high promises to it, while it threatens race mixing with heavy punishments. He cites Exodus, Joshua 23, and Deuteronomy 28. It even demands the merciless rooting out of the Udumu descendants by the coming leader, the savior, of the Aryan family. After Ignatius’s translation God says, I will keep you from human animals. To the Aryans, Japheth, he promises that if they practice race pure-breeding they shall dwell in the tents of Shem, and the lower human races, Ham, shall be their servants. By the sinful mixing with the animal-men the god-man, Aryan being, has crucified himself and done himself much harm, has gone to hell, that is has come under the lower race. Redemption he attains, exoterically, by the drink from the Grail cup, the cup of the Lord, Frauja, that is, after the secret speech of the Bible, by race pure-breeding and by taking in divine Aryan blood. He is called to the royal and priestly office, and is to redeem Aryan mankind by pure-kind love from the devil, the animal-humankind, and lead it back to divinity and holiness. The idea of pure, pure-kind love and of its divinizing force was the chief content of all ancient mysteries, religions, philosophies, and poetries. First Corinthians 13 is to be understood in that sense. To the holy people of God, spoiled by race mixing and scattered under the beasts and heathen, a leader and savior will arise at the end of days, when the need is highest, Helios, Baldur, Christ, who will pasture his people and root out the dangerous animal-humankind. He cites Ezekiel 34:25 and section 32. He is the Siegfried of German saga, the St. George of the church, who slays the dragon, the lower race. Hagar, the picture for the lower race, is to be driven out and is not to attain the Aryan inheritance. The old Christian initiated church fathers and the original Christians regarded the Logos as the representative of the white Aryan race, who will and must defeat and root out the other races in order to preserve that one. Mary, the mother of God, the Freya of the Germans, was for them, as Freia was for our Germanic forefathers, the sign of the race-pure, blue-eyed and gold-blond, chaste, Aryan ideal woman. As such, Mary was still always, unconsciously, pictured by all artists. She is to be the mother of the Logos, of the god-man, that is the mother of a purely bred Aryan family, is therefore a virgin, unstained by contact with the lower race, and is to conceive by the holy spirit, that is to give us a future pure Aryan Germanic god-humankind. The known race laws are those of Manu, Mannus, perhaps Jesus, whose fitness modern race research has long confirmed, then the Saxon, Ripuarian, Lombard, and Gothic race laws.

The rest of the section, to page 255, applies this key to the World War and to Germany’s future. A verse from a patriotic poem closes the page before the next heading: heaven helps, hell must yield, plant the freedom flag, and when the people stands wreathed with luck in the victor’s shine of its prehistory, do not forget the dear dead, and adorn our urn too with the oak wreath. The Atlantis claims already stated are not added to. Lemuria and Atlantis are named once more as the geological destruction of part of the mixed peoples. Goslar is named once more as founded by Fro, the Logos.

Theses

Section 38, pages 255 to 264, is the summary he wants used, and then a political program. I report the theses that restate the equation. I do not turn the program into instructions.

What we now know. The last riddles of the Bible are solved. What clouded our view for 2,000 years has flown off as a fog veil. The Bible rests on an Aryan Germanic foundation. Its most valuable parts were falsified by Jewish priests, so that their people might appear as the holy, chosen people of God, receive world rule by this swindle, and not be hindered by the misled Aryan being. The reports of world creation, paradise, fall, and flood are original Germanic. The allegedly prophetic parts of the Bible, the prophets and Revelation, are reports of Atlantis and Baldur and of the history of the Aryans, trimmed for the purposes of Judaism and provided with many additions. The psalms come, except for a few, partly from the Aryan Atlantic and partly from the Germanic literature. The books of Joshua, Job, Judges, Kings, Ruth, Jesus Sirach, Wisdom, and Ecclesiastes are for the most part literary products of the Germans in Canaan who were subjected by the Jews and ruined. The gospels again are so completely an expression of Aryan spirit and Aryan religious feeling that they stand in the sharpest opposition to Judaism and were always rejected by it. Indian Hebrew, and coming from Atlantic heathenism, are the Mosaic blood laws and human sacrifices. Jewish priests and scribes composed a history of Judaism out of Aryan history and saga, in order to let Judaism appear, in place of the Aryans, as the chosen holy people of God. The Bible teems with unheard-of Jewish falsifications. Believing them has brought the Germans and the Germanic world into misery. The Jewish people, originally a despised Indian pariah people, a sort of Gypsy, has by the falsification of the Bible made itself the master people of the earth and us its slaves. The most important thing from the falsified Aryan writings, the old Aryan race-breeding laws, the law of the old covenant, the Jews have kept for themselves and applied, and have hidden from us or set down as ridiculous. By strict following of the Aryan race-breeding laws they have attained world rule. Us Germans they have, by their unscrupulous history falsifications, robbed of our inheritance, as Jacob robbed Esau. The Bible must not be taken literally. In fairy tales, fables, and parables a secret sense is hidden, which was well known to old church fathers, but is carefully hidden from us. The church forces us to take the wording of the Bible and the Jewish Bible falsifications and dirt for God’s revelation and for truth. It demands that we regard the Jewish literary thieves, history falsifiers, and frauds as the chosen holy people of God and tolerate them among us. It thereby makes itself unconsciously an accomplice in a fraud on the German people. So it becomes an institution of Judaism for Judaism’s glorification and protection, and works against the good of the German people. The Christian religion becomes, after the words of the Jewish English minister Disraeli, Judaism for the people, against the will of Christ. The hidden content of the Bible is a history of the Aryan Germanic race, its high song, and it also shows us the race-ethical, race-hygienic, and race-political conditions for its maintenance and spread. To this most highly developed human race, as the chosen holy people of God, the world is promised. The Aryans, the Germans, are after the Bible the children of God. The other races are designated by the Bible as beasts, monsters, and dragons. The Aryan race is, after the will of the Bible, to root out the lower and mixed races that press it, and to settle the world. The church on the contrary demands the sparing of the lower race and its furthering. The Bible demands sharp separation of the Aryan race from the lower race, its higher breeding, and thereby its divinizing. The church, against God’s will, furthers race mixing and race chaos in the interest of Judaism, by preaching the all-world neighbor love, the choiceless race mixing, and the love foreign to one’s kind. The Bible demands, with natural-law necessity, the differentiation of the kinds, and so also the folk and race thought. The church works against the race thought by its international ideas. Jesus was no Jew, but a German. His true teachings he likewise hid, like the Aryan wise men of antiquity, in parables, fables, and likenesses. Beside Aryan wisdom and morals he teaches the ancient Aryan race laws in sharpest form. He did not come to dissolve them but to fulfill them. He is a chief representative of the Aryan biblical race ethic, race morals, race breeding, and race politics, and he demands the rooting out of the lower race. The church has not understood his teachings on this, or has taught them falsely, has hidden their real sense, and has thereby made itself an accomplice in the ruin of Germandom. True Christianity does not stand in opposition to science and to the life needs of the German people. It rests on the contrary on the clearly recognized life necessities of the Aryan Germanic race, on unchangeable natural laws, on anthropology, race study, race ethics, and race politics, and must therefore work, determining and direction-giving, on inner and outer state politics. The state must become Aryan Christian through and through. The Christian church, if it de-Judaizes itself and reshapes itself in the way he demands, becomes an exceedingly important culture factor of the German future. In that case it has to be a state church. The true teachings of Christ will bring the German people rescue and redemption from need and death. Jesus is the mightiest champion of the Aryan race. By Rome and Judah he is to this day nailed to the cross. His immortal work waits first for the resurrection in a pure-kind German and Germanic being. With the preaching of his true teaching the confessional opposites will vanish. One God and one faith in Germanic Christian Germany will be the glad result. To be truly German and Christian minded is therefore no contradiction, but one and the same. The German people, together with our northern brothers, is the last remnant of the Aias, that is of the Aryan race. If this race goes down in the present and coming fights of the World War, then it is over with human world culture for all time, for the Aryan race alone is the creator and bearer of culture at all. The peoples that remain will, for lack of fertilization by Aryan blood, after Mendel’s rules of inheritance, sink back into animality. Mixed people, Slavs, Romanic peoples, Mediterraneans, Jews, and lower races, Mongols, Negroes, redskins, are the death enemies of Aryan being, the grimmest among them the mixed. This enmity rests on natural-law presuppositions and lies in the different blood and in the unlike body and brain construction, and in a mutual polar repulsion arising from that. All assertions of the equality of all men opposed to the above findings, all alleged efforts to reconcile the races and peoples, are contrary to nature, error, or swindle, and knowing fraud, for the purpose of lulling the Aryan race, robbing it of its power of action and its weapons, so that it may the more surely come into the strangling nets of the Atlantic papacy and let itself be slaughtered defenseless. In the World War the whole lower-race and mixed being was planfully cleaned, under the leadership of Rome and Judah, as on Atlantis, in order to destroy the remains of the Aryan race. The head of the lower-race beast and the leader of the mixed and the lower race is the Atlantic priest state, that is its continuation, the world Jewish state secretly led by a priest king, and political Rome. The Judaized Protestant church too is a tool of Judaism. Judah and Rome are most closely bound to capitalism and are of the same being with it. The Jewish Roman church, resting on the Jewish Bible falsifications, is a creation of Judaism for reaching its plans of world rule. If the Jewish priest state has reached its world-rule goal, it will, after its clearly spoken goals, destroy the church, set the Jewish religion as world religion, and set a Jew as king of the Jewish world realm. He cites Döllinger, chapter 11, and Lienhardt. Judah and Rome pursue in close alliance the same secret goal, the raising of a world-spanning priest state. As a presupposition they need the herd animal-man and the mongrelizing of mankind. They must necessarily root out the Aryan Germanic race, since this alone, as bearer of the thought of independence and as keeper of Germanic Christian ideals, does not let itself be spanned into the clerical and Jewish slave yoke, and alone is able to see through the devilish cunning of the Atlantic papacy and to tear its nets. In pursuit of this goal the World War was prepared long beforehand by Rome and Judah. It is the most proper work of Judah and of Rome. The World War was to be, for the Aryans, one should think of Russia, Hungary, and Munich, a St. Bartholomew’s night and a heretic court of the greatest style. The occupation of Germany with blacks is the continuation of that night. The German people is to be planfully bastardized and turned into an easily ruled animal mestizo people. Rome and Judah are therefore the sworn, irreconcilable death enemies of the Aryans. After the destruction of the German people comes that of the northern states. The national Christian thought is irreconcilable with Jewish Roman internationalism. The one presses toward the god-willed differentiation of the kinds and so toward the highest forms of existence, the god-man. The other leads, after definite natural laws, to general bastardizing, to race chaos, to lower life forms, to the herd animal-man. Rome and Judah are poisonous climbing plants that can thrive only on the swamp soil of internationalism. Both have the tough effort to smother the folk and race thought in our people. He then glosses the slogans he rejects: equality of all men, general brotherhood, humanity, the League of Nations, the brotherhood of mankind, courts of arbitration, disarmament, goals of mankind, and communism. The Atlantic Roman Jewish priest state has created special tools for carrying out its plans. Judaism, the Freemason order it founded, and the democratic, liberal, and social-democratic parties led by Jews. A footnote says the symbols and rites of this order come in large part from the Atlantic Egyptian initiate lodges, the mystery cults of the Hither Asian religions of antiquity, and Judaism. Tool and guard troop of clerical Rome are the various religious orders and the party of the Center, in Austria the Christian Social party. Judah and Rome also seek to get the whole school system into their hand. He cites article 146 of the Reich constitution, the Reich school-law draft, and the Bavarian concordat. Both seek to master the press. The named political parties work, secretly steered, at the ruin of Germany.

What now to do. Whoever does not want to make himself an accomplice in the murder of his fatherland is to leave at once the parties and orders led by the Atlantic papacy. In place of the present popular representation the representation of the estates is to be set. All estates are to unite in a working community. Out with the Jewish and Rome press from the German Christian houses. The parole is, loose from Rome, loose from Judah. That does not mean enmity to religion and church, but on the contrary a striving toward Jesus and toward a German Christian religion corresponding to the needs of the Aryan race, and a German Christian people’s church, as the center of a racially and folkishly sharply marked culture. Not away from religion, but toward it, but away from the Atlantic Egyptian Oriental heathenism still mummified in the church, and away from Jewish Roman Atlantic clericalism, toward the Aryan free Christianity and its race ethics and race politics. Necessary is the immediate abolition of all Roman orders, of Freemasonry, and of celibacy. He demands of the clergy of all confessions that they reshape the church into a German Christian national church, free of Jewish and heathen elements, a center of German Christian culture and of Aryan race care, as the old Germanic people’s church was. If the clergy refuses to say the truth, the fate will overtake it which Judaism wants to prepare for it through the Bible Bolshevism of the International Earnest Bible Students, whom it pushes. For the schools of every kind he demands that everything Jewish and all Jewish history be removed from religious instruction and from the schoolbooks. Religious instruction is to be a Christian one, that is to refer only to the teachings of Christ. The Old Testament is to drop out entirely. German Christian religious instruction in the sense of this book is a required subject in all schools. Those not of German blood, or not Germans, are to be excluded from the schools. In the upper classes of all schools, race study, race morals, and race hygiene in the sense of the old Aryan Germanic race laws and of the Bible, and the history of the Aryans, are to be taught. He says chief pastor Andersen of Flensburg raises these demands in Der deutsche Heiland, Munich 1921, and so does chief pastor Katzer at Libau, 1893. Heathenism and priest rule are essential properties of the lower race. With the Aryan race, on the contrary, higher religion, Aryan Christianity, and the freedom of a Christian man preached by the Aryans Luther and Christ are closely tied. Race mixing means gradual lessening of the noblest human kinds and animalizing of mankind. Care of the Aryan race leads to its ennobling, to the narrow way, to likeness to God, and to becoming one with God. We must therefore apply the Aryan race laws offered us in the Bible and consciously practice race care and race breeding. Race care is thus one of the most important religious affairs. Let no one believe the religious question is a side matter for the rebuilding of the Aryan world. It is at the same time a culture question and a race question and a serious life question for the German people. Only Aryan Christianity will sharply separate us from the lower race and from heathenism and from the international Jewish and papal power that represents them. The leaders of our enemies know that. They fear, trembling, the discovery of the Bible falsifications and seek to keep the rule of the Atlantic papacy with all the means of lies and deception. What the Bible falsified by Jews teaches us is to be our rule and plumb line. A merciless fight against the lower-race and mixed being that presses us round about, after the demands of the prophets, of Revelation, and of the gospel. No more pity for the lower-race peoples that suck the heart’s blood of us Germans. The cleaned Aryan Bible on the heart and the German sword in the hand, we want to destroy the dragons and the beasts and fetch back our stolen inheritance. Germany must never become a pure industrial and trading state, for the mammonism tied to that furthers the lower race and papism. Gathering of the remains of the Aryan population in a pan-Germanic union of states, to be raised and continually widened by the sword, after the will of the Aryan Bible. Against the thousand-year storm of heathenism and of the lower race, no more time is to be lost. Let each in his circle provide for enlightening the people by spreading this writing. The truth will make us free, Jesus tells us, and it will let a new earth and a new heaven arise for us, in which Aryan justice dwells. And so the solution of the Bible riddle will lead to the truth and to a shining rise of the German people. He closes, God with us.

The publisher’s afterword

The publisher’s note, unnumbered, is not Wieland’s argument. The Großdeutscher Verlag at Weißenburg asks the reader to notice that the unveilings in Atlantis, Edda und Bibel are still essentially completed by the books listed afterward, which appeared from the same press, and that it is advisable to read these too if one wants to know the truth fully and to learn the events which the Atlantic papacy and its helpers, after carefully prepared plans, will still bring on for the destruction of our people. Then comes the correction slip already named: page 2, line 21, must read Tius und Zius; page 24, line 4, must read 50,000 years; page 182, line 5 from the bottom, must read Jesus. Later leaves advertise Döllinger’s Baldur und Bibel and other books, including works of Max Valier. They add no further date for the island.
