... or lack of oxygen. The Andes, a new chain of mountains, has sea shells on top that Darwin could not explain. Then we also have a city which was apparently a seaport but now exists about 11,000 feet above the sea. There is evidence that during this catastrophe, with the sea level rising 300-500 feet. Atlantis and other coastal cities sank; their ruins can still be seen. There were also even earlier catastrophes, one about 18,000 B.C ., one about 50,000 B.C ., and others farther back. My planned chronology will begin at 50,000 B.C . but will have references to ...

' ' This is perhaps a link-a frail one it may be-between the heaven, the paradise-mountain, and the island-paradise which appears in so many Western forms,; the chief of which' of course, is the lost Atlantis" the tale of which, according to Plato, came from Egypt. This is far from being a "" safe " subject, and has beers a food deal scouted ; but there can be no harm in remarking that its name at all events connects it with Atlas' which has already been treated (p . 884) ...

... From: SIS Workshop Vol 3 No 2 (Oct 1980) Home | Issue Contents Letters On Circe and Atlantis Dear Sir, Ms. Bekker's letter ( WORKSHOP vol.2 . no.3 , p.12) suggests that some reflection on the provenance of Circe in Greek mythology and further reflection on basic facts of etymology would not go amiss. For Ms. Bekker's benefit, Circe was accounted the daughter of Helios and the ocean nymph Perseis. Of the same union were born Pasiphae and Aetes, according to the earliest versions. Pasiphae's union with Minos yielded Ariadne and (later versions) others, some with disputed paternity (such as the Minotaur). Aetes ...
... . Yet the "father of history" was dubious about the river Endanus or the Cassiterides, the Tin Isles, off Cornwall. Mythology insists that the Cimmerians inhabited the banks of the flaming river Eridanus, related to the famous "escapade" of Phaeton, by whose ill-starred deed, it is hinted in Plato's Timaeus, the destruction of Atlantis was caused. We may recall the story of how Phaeton, "the Shining", drove the steeds of his father Helios for a single day along the track of the heavens, but they bolted with him, and plunged madly, close to the Sun himself, and then so near to earth that Zeus, perceiving that great ...
... acquired the name of Israelites, and of the Bible peoples generally. All I can say in apology is that one cannot squeeze a quart measure into a pint pot. At this present parting of the ways, what then have I attempted to establish? The Flood of Noah, or the Deluge of Deucalion, identical with the submergence of Atlantis, has been the basis of various conclusions, as likewise the legendary war between the Gods and the Giants, all pointing to one outstanding fact, namely that the arena was set in the British Isles and Scandinavia. Cognate with it is the classic myth of the fall of Phaeton in the region of the river Eridanus in the country ...

... was the case with the Egyptian Apis bull in relation to Osiris. In Crete, the Dionysian rites are said to have featured the tearing apart and raw feasting of a bull by frenzied worshippers (5a) Poseidon also had intimate associations with the bull, Taureos being one of his epithets. In Plato's famous description of the island kingdom of Atlantis, it was Poseidon who was honored by the sacrifice of sacred bulls.(6 ) In ritual, Poseidon was frequently represented by a bull, and some mythographers held that the white bull which ravaged Pasiphae was actually a tauriform Poseidon.(7 ) In fact, some ancient writers identified Minos with Poseidon; others considered the great ...

... primeval figures is associated the collapse of a Golden Age and/or a great celestial kingdom. As the Edda states with regard to the fall of Baldur: "This was the greatest misfortune ever to befall gods and men."(45) A classic example of the collapse of the primordial kingdom is that of the mysterious disappearance of Atlantis as related by Plato. It is my opinion that the swallowing up of Tantalus?primeval city-kingdom during a great deluge should be seen as a parallel to the Atlantis legend, as should the watery disappearance of Kekrops' city of Athenae.* [* In a future essay I hope to discuss the fall of Saturn's celestial city, ...
... of Isaiah, but seems here to represent the lava stream. At its base is observed an immense cave entrance like MacKinnon's.17 Whether coincidence or no, the resemblances are striking, and it is evident that Mt. Culhuacan, or Serpent Mountain, meant as much to the Aztecs, whose country Aztlan bears more than a resemblance to Atlantis, as did Prometheus to the early Pelasgi or the Greeks. The Miztecs, another instructed Mexican tribe, described Culhuacan as the "Place of Heaven", where the gods erected a sumptuous palace and dwelt therein. A "great deluge" occurred there in which "many of the sons and daughters of the gods perished." ...
262. A Conversation with Barry Fell [Journals] [Horus]
... me to treat catastrophism's ideas seriously - but, of course, one shouldn't throw away the baby with the bath water and, undoubtedly there have been catastrophes - great catastrophes which perhaps affected the course of civilization. Everybody talks about the one that apparently wiped out the Minoan civilization, - possibly in Santorini that may correspond to the story of Atlantis. That kind of idea is much more acceptable to me than the story of Atlantis as it's commonly presented in which some island in the mid-Atlantic is supposed to have gone down. I can't accept that. The seafloor of the Atlantic ocean is such as to make it quite impossible that anything like that could have happened within the course ...

... of the memories of these cataclysms into the unconscious. But instead of addressing themselves to this most provocative and potentially important concept, critics continue to either ignore collective amnesia, or misconstrue it to mean an ad hoc argument ex silentio. To illustrate that this situation has not yet changed, one need only note the aside in an article on Atlantis by Arturo F. Gonzales Jr., in the May, 19 72 Science Digest, in which he points out that "A Russian cosmologist named Velikovsky insisted that Jupiter erupted millenniums ago and spewed up a fiery comet which sped past the earth in 1600 or 1500 B.C ., swamping Atlantis in the same roaring tide which ...

... of M. M. III" a "great earthquake" occurred (ibid., Vol. II, pt. I, 1928, p. 362). I would suggest synchronising this earthquake with that which occurred on Thera some while before the LM I eruption of the island volcano (cf. J. Mavor: Voyage to Atlantis, London, 1969, p. 249). That the LM I eruption of Thera belongs to the 10th century BC in the revised chronology has already been shown by I. M. Isaacson: "Some Preliminary Remarks about Thera and Atlantis", Kronos I:2 , pp. 93-6. 20. Hayes, op. ...

... without actually destroying it. Down the centuries precisely such a source has been repeatedly advocated to account for traditionally catastrophic events like Noah's Deluge, the loss of a primaeval Golden Age, the advent and also the demise of the Ice Age, the sudden refrigeration of the Siberian/Alaskan mammoth fauna and even the foundering of legendary realms such as Atlantis, Lyonesse, etc. [126-135]. Variously identified as a great comet, an asteroid, an itinerant star, a massive meteor swarm, or a former moon - dated, equally variously, from as long ago as 25,000BC to as recently as just a few centuries before the birth of Christ - none of these ...

... ; but are they really? Shinn describes several "beach rock" formations in the area, some exposed and some submerged under a few feet of water. This beach rock, as his photos demonstrate, has a natural tendency to fracture in rectangular blocks, creating strips of pavements-like blocks essentially identical to the famous Bimini walls. Proponents of Atlantis and other radical archeological theories do not deny the similarity of the formations or even that the natural and supposedly man-made blocks are of the same composition. The Atlanteans obviously made use of readily available materials and beach rock was their choice. Shinn goes on to prove to his satisfaction that the Bimini block formations are still in place right where ...

... and natives all dwelled in close proximity. In fact, ethnic diversity in the New World was so pervasive that Father Gregorio Garcia concluded in the 17th century that the natives had come from many nations of the Old World: "Some are probably descended from Carthaginians; some are descendants of the ten lost tribes of Israel; others came from Atlantis, Greece, Phoenicia, and China." [27] It is easy to conclude from all the evidence that various ancestors of the American native peoples arrived in the New World in boats, having sailed to this new land from the maritime societies of Africa, Asia, and Europe. In 1862, campesinos clearing brush in Mexico ...

... miles north of the Arctic Circle and dated at 30,000 years old. The earliest previous dating of a site in the area was at 11,000 years. This new dating means that people could have populated the Americas earlier than the generally accepted 12,000 years ago; a date which is coming increasingly under attack. ARCHAEOLOGY Atlantis Revisited (Focus, no. 134, Jan. 2004; Daily Telegraph, 29.9 .03.)

He rails against the "occult/new-age and pseudoscientific writers" now taking an interest in these maps- (which category has he put me in, I wonder?)- and he has a point with some of them, even though I get the impression that many of the "Antarctic/Atlantis" theorists have been as superficial in their study of the maps as he has himself. Life would certainly be much easier if we could find a way to justify dismissing the evidence in Hapgood's maps as bogus or irrelevant, but for this to happen, I think we shall need something much better than what Sean Mewhinney has given us ...

We move on to Merneptah, who in his year 5 defended Egypt against the Libyans and assorted Mediterraneans, the Peoples of the Sea. The A-group Nubians are said to have disappeared to Atlantis. Disregarding, along with many others, Plato's time-scale, Weche places Typhon's fight with the heavens, bringing to an end Atlantis, in 1187, calling it a Mercury shift. There was a Napatan king called Atlanarsa, which is interpreted as Arsa the Atlan[tean]. XII 1187-1117 Having the Hyksos spread over most of the ...

... to political science because it reveals the conditions under which the elitist political philosopher such as Plato will choose raison d'etat over truth. The argument was not resolved, although to Deg it seemed clear enough that Plato was wearing the two caps of scientist and political ruler. When he played wearing the one, he had to recognize the catastrophe of Atlantis and other disasters, and exhibited little confidence in the stability of the heavens. When he played the role of custodian of public morals, he recognized, as few did afterwards, that men behave in imitation of the sky gods.When the gods misbehave, so do men. Hence Plato would severely chastise those who rendered the gods ...

... , when it again appeared in the sky, the Egyptians or those of a later time said that Seth was Typhon and Typhon was Seth, i.e ., that they were one and the same body. They also appear to have had a tradition that this same body had been seen at a yet earlier time when catastrophe overtook Atlantis; but it is not so clear what the Egyptians named this body - possibly Ptah was an early name for it, though this is more represented as a bull-like form, also Sebek, Sebau, Hai and Rerek, later called Apep. The Sumerians associated the name Tiamat with this body, but not c.1500 BC: ...
