... as their King. The "Secret Doctrine" states that the Atlanteans were really the first purely human and terrestrial race, those that preceded them being more divine and ethereal than human and solid. The Giant Atlanteans perished some 850,000 years ago. They were the Gibborim of the Bible. The Aryo-Atlanteans perished on the last island of Atlantis, called Plato's Atlantis, which was submerged about eleven or twelve thousand years ago. By tracing the origin of the Nephilim (Genesis vi, 4), the Giants, we could come to an understanding of the hairy men and the satyrs. "Poseidon (identified with Neptune) is not only the personification of the Spirit and ...

... vu. Cultist beliefs have been confuted countless times but bob up again as lively as ever. The idea that the earth was once devastated by a comet began in the eighteenth century with Count Gian Rinaldo Carli. It was revived in the nineteenth by Ignatius Donnelly, who also made a popular cult out of earlier scholarly speculations about the lost Atlantis. In our own times, the cometary-collision hypothesis has been revived again with stunning success by Immanuel Velikovsky. " This statement provoked a response from Professors Lynn E. Rose and Lewis M. Greenberg, both of whom sent letters to The Humanist {reproduced below). The letter of Professor Rose was published in the September/October ...

... gods", and where they daily assembled in council. In Asgard also Odin appointed the rulers, regulated the government whose rulers met at the Idavöllr or "Place of Assembly" in the midst of the divine city and erected there a temple with twelve thrones of gold, just as Plato describes the temple of Poseidon in the capital of Atlantis. In Asgard, too, they transmuted metals. Says the Voluspa: The Asar met Who raised on the Idavdll Altars and high temples; They laid hearths, they wrought wealth, They shaped tongs and made tools, They played chess on the grass-plot; They were cheerful; They did not lack anything of gold.3 It ...

... the effects of any cometary visitation is ever present, such as a tidal wave and floods, for though the surplus waters drain away eventually they result in a rising of the tides, even though imperceptible, except over long periods. Sometimes a tidal wave may permanently drown a region, or partly so, as in the classic example of Atlantis, Lyonnesse, and other similar cases. In the Timaeus Plato says of the drowning of Atlantis: "There occurred violent earthquakes and floods, and in a single day and night of rain all your (Athenian) warlike men in a body sunk into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared and was sunk ...

... mathematical proportions of the four elements, and of the influences of the motions on the stability and health of the individual. This again makes me think that in Timaeus 22 Plato was talking of an imbalance of elemental proportions induced by the stars or planets rather than of a planetary collision' in a Velikovskian sense. Finally, there remains the Atlantis issue, to which V devotes a section of WIC (p .148- 15O). According to Timaeus 25 the kings of Atlantis ruled not only their own island, but also a large part of Europe and North Africa, which they held more or less in a state of slavery. Ultimately, it was the Greeks- ...
... results. Large areas were blackened with fire, and the world was in imminent danger of utter destruction until Zeus, the All Father, slew Phaeton with a thunderbolt and he was hurled into the river Eridanus, which was thereby set ablaze. Plato, we remember, alludes to this myth in connection with the submersion of the island of Atlantis, terming it the "declination of heavenly bodies," as the cause of the vast earthquakes, floods, and conflagration on earth, a catastrophe, said he, recurring at vast intervals of time, when almost all that had gone before was destroyed. The story of Phaeton's "escapade" certainly immortalises the memory of a remarkable ...

... , to my mind, in quite as scholarly a style as Velikovsky's books. The first is Zecharia Sitchin's The Twelfth Planet', noticed in a condescendingly offhand way in WORKSHOP, and evidently considered heresy, but to me, after a second careful reading, appearing a truly remarkable work. The second book is Otto Huck's The Secret of Atlantis' which I do not think has even been noticed in REVIEW and WORKSHOP despite its accent on catastrophism, and his deep knowledge of Sumerian, Semitic and Mayan sources. The third book is The Other Atlantis' by Robt. Scrutton, also treated, I fancy, in quite a sneering and offhand manner, again as heresy, ...

... West Friesland), but I am also suspicious as regards the authenticity of the book along with John Bimson (WORKSHOP IV, p.15), especially about the story of "Jes". I propose to investigate just where the "original" is and have it re-examined. I have also read Robert Scrutton's book "The Other Atlantis", and I found him a bit too convinced of the genuineness of the OLB. As long as the "original" copy has not been re-examined with modern methods, it must remain suspect. But that the peoples of our regions sailed over the whole world, I think we may accept as true. I would point out ...

There are traces of ancient astronomical knowledges that rival our own. Monumental ruins invite never-ending speculations about those who came before: perhaps an "Atlantis" type civilization that perished in a cataclysmic flash, flood, or fill-in-the-blank? Our knowledge of humanity's past is ever incomplete, as the continued questing of archaeological and historical disciplines reveal. The past is a puzzle that can never be fully solved- because we can never be sure of what pieces we may be missing! Lots of different ...

Assuredly the former, the one which to this date remains recorded in the traditions of all the peoples, from the remotest antiquity; the one that finally swept away the last peninsulas of Atlantis, beginning with Ruta and Daitya and ending with the (comparatively) small island mentioned by Plato. This is shown by the agreement of certain details in all the legends. It was the last of its gigantic character . . . Noah's flood . . . at least, only, a moral connection."[2 ] Within ...

... one acutely aware that many of the book's eight major sections are related to each other in one fashion or another. As it is, this reviewer is personally acquainted with some of the contemporary protagonists and subjects mentioned in the various controversies surrounding these mysteries. So let's chat about and outline a few of them just for the exercise. On Atlantis: The authors refer to the Greek geologist Angelos Galanopoulos' epiphany of 1969, namely, that Plato's mythical land was actually the Mediterranean volcanic island caldera of Thera, which explosively erupted sometime around the mid-16th century BC, and that the date given to Plato by his uncle Critias, via the latter's grandfather Solon, was off by a ...

At one time it was thought that both LM IA and LM IB were buried beneath the paroxysm of Thera [e .g ., J. V. Luce, Lost Atlantis (N .Y ., 1969), p.200] . Now we know that it is just LM IA; and, as it happens, LM IA began before the start of the 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, perhaps around 1600 B.C . according to present conventional chronology [P . M. Warren, ...

Atlantis strikes again The New York Times Book Review, date unknown In a scathing review of Atlantis literature, which drags in Velikovsky along with mystics and clairvoyants as outdoing even the quasi historians' who write about Atlantis, Robert Eisner ridicules Ignatius Donnelly because he equated Atlantis with the Garden of Eden, the Elysian fields, Mount Olympus etc. ...

... the major part of the Pleistocene have been marked by a succession of sinkings of which the definite result has been to open between Europe and America the pit of the North Atlantic. . . . From that, perhaps, a vague memory has been preserved in the memory of the first men and gave place in changing to the legend of Atlantis.* Alluding to the same epoch Paul Combes fils says that the North Atlantic must have been occupied by one or more lands.** Professor Heer, in his survey of the Drift Period, which as he explains was that period of the Pleistocene Age when the "succession of sinkings "occurred, connects the building of the ...
120. Cattigara - Legend and History by Stan Hall (Reviewed) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... legendary city of Cattigara marked on the far side of the Pacific Ocean on a map of the Graeco-Egyptian geographer Ptolomeo. The captain believes in the sunken continent of Mu, which he describes as having been destroyed in a single night by a new planet born from the head of Jupiter. Cattigara is eventually reached and proves to have connections with Atlantis, but an Atlantis to which the author has given a new and interesting twist. The 2nd part of the book details the author's research in which he identifies Cattigara as Chan Chan, a ruined city on the coast of Peru. In Part 3 he investigates theories of catastrophism and chronological revisions, with a strong leaning to Velikovsky, ...

... change is "inconceivable"; rather, I regard it as unsupported by physical evidence. He asserts that "there does not seem to be any real shortage of geological records of catastrophes of this sort", yet he gives no genuine example and I, for one, am unaware of any. The "very speculative" example of Atlantis hardly qualifies since its putative location is unverified. The uniform drop in sea level cited by Velikovsky in EARTH IN UPHEAVAL does not indicate a change in rotation rate. An increased spin rate would lower sea level in high latitudes and raise it in low (KRONOS VIII:1 , pp.94-5 & SISR V:3 , p ...

... Who Built the Moon?) that the Moon is so peculiar and essential to life on Earth that it was either an unbelievable coincidence, or had been deliberately built! At this point, to judge from later questions from his audience, he had obviously left most SIS boundaries behind. The next speaker was Paul Dunbavin, author of The Atlantis Researches (see C&C Review 2004:2 , pp. 20-22). Dunbavin plunged straight in to a more Velikovskian scenario, by stating that ice ages' were caused by pole tilts. He is also an advocate of taking myth seriously, regarding universal themes, as fossils' which can shed light on the past. ...

... Pacific Ocean grew chunks of the continents which, together with their young ranges of mountains, were inundated by it." If this is indeed the case, we are faced with suppositions that, in earlier times, areas of the globe which are presently ocean were continental, and this leads to the probability of such highly disregarded concepts as Atlantis and Mu, as outlined by Ignatius Donnelly and James Churchwood. In this respect, N. F. Zhirov, a Soviet academician, marshalled the data in his book Atlantis citing Belousov that the summits of mountains in the Pacific were once a continent. Thus, a whole new study of oceanographic questions arises. For example, in ...
