Atlantis: The Lost Continent Finally Found. – c 1997. – http://www.atlan.org/ # A novel theory on Atlantis is presented here that will, if accepted, cause a revolution in the fields of archaeology and the human sciences, rendering them fit for the encroaching Millennium. Atlantis was never found because archaeologists have all been looking in the wrong places. Geology afforded the correct, irrefutable answer where an entire sunken continent could be hiding itself: down under the South China Sea. This site is composed of different sections (Atlantis in Myths and Religion; Atlantis in the Old World; The Scientific Evidence; Atlantis in the Indies; Atlantis in the New World), organized by subjects which range from the strictly scientific (Linguistic, Geologic, Ethnologic, etc.) to the purely mythical and religious ones. Such approach to the problem of Atlantis is basically scientific and down to earth, though it do not refrain from entering the more esoteric aspects of the Occult disciplines in what can be presently divulged. In turn, each of the site sections contains a series of articles on the theme, which are will periodically renewing. A reader will have also found, as a surplus, the Garden of Eden, the Island of Avalon, the Garden of the Hesperides, the hideout of the New Jerusalem, the true location of Troy and of Lanka, as well as the Holy Land and Paradise that has been promised us all from the dawn of time. Atlantis is rising from the waves, bright as the Phoenix and clean and virginal as the Venus of Botticelli. The page contains the following articles: The Atlantean Origin of the Seven Sacraments; The Atlantean Symbolism of the Egyptian Temple; Atlantis Checklist; Corroborating Evidence on the Reality of Atlantis; Guanche Language Derived from Dravida?; The Horse Sacrifice; The Mysterious Origin of the Guanches; The True History of Atlantis; The Whirling Mountain of the Navajos.

The Atlantis Blueprint: Unlocking the Ancient Mysteries of a Long-Lost Civilization. – Delta, 2002. – 448 p. – Paperback. Author’s introduction under the title “Blueprints from Atlantis”– http://www.atlantisrising.com/issue14/ar14blueprint.html # “This book represents the next great breakthrough in study of the lost civilization that an increasing number of researchers believe existed in the distant past. Wilson and Flem-Ath go beyond everything that has been done before to explore the possible technologies, science and math of this civilization. They create a highly convincing case, and when they address the question of what happened to it, you will be riveted” (Whitney Strieber). The authors propose a single, geo-historical theory that links the Egyptian, Chinese and South American pyramids. For centuries, the Great Pyramid, Stonehenge, Machu Picchu, and other sacred sites have attracted pilgrims, scholars, and adventurers drawn by the possibility that their true spiritual and technological secrets remain hidden. Who could have built these elaborate monuments? How did they do it? And what were their incomprehensible efforts and sacrifices designed to accomplish? Now comes a revolutionary theory that connects these mysteries to reveal a hidden global pattern – the ancient work of an advanced civilization whose warnings of planetary cataclysm now reverberate across one hundred millennia. According to this argument, these civilizations received templates from Atlantis that contained crucial geodesic, geological and geometric information. Furthermore, Atlantean mariners, based in its home base in Antarctica, sailed the the oceans of the globe over 100,000 years ago and established more than 60 sacred sites and monuments around the world, such as Byblos and Jericho, to preserve and communicate the sophisticated wisdom of their culture. They anticipated that their society will be obliterated by devastating global changes but could not escape. They erected these sites, this startling evidence of an intelligent maritime society before geological disasters wiped out their civilization. The authors take us on a hectic roller-coaster ride through pseudoscientific history, complete with the requisite numerology and mythology. The authors stand proudly on the shoulders of their forefathers, Charles Hapgood featured prominently among them. Before his death in 1982, Hapgood had amassed “irrefutable” proof of civilizations far more ancient than accepted archeology allows for (see Hapgood, C.H. Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings: Evidence of Advanced Civilization in the Ice Age. – Adventures Unlimited Press, 1997. – 315 p. – Paperback; reviewed on http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0932813429/ref=pd_sim_b_1/104-9108160-1334340?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance). W. and F.-A. seem to leave no cultural, geological or paleontological stone unturned in their quest for detailed evidence, touching on everything from the origins of Freemasonry and the Ark of the Covenant, to ancient Japanese pottery in America and angels in the Book of Enoch. Frequently, they claim the interest or support of various famous people, many of whom suffered untimely deaths. Albert Einstein and John F. Kennedy, for instance, died before fully embracing earlier theories about Atlantis. Opening up a Pandora’s box of ancient mysteries, lost worlds, and millennial riddles, it is a story as controversial, fascinating, dangerous – and inspiring – as any ever told. For followers of mystical science, fantasy readers and conspiracy theorists, W. and F.-A.'s enthusiasm and conviction will be a welcoming island in a sea of skepticism. (Editorial description).

XI.2. The Gondwanese metaculture

By Gondwana “I mean not the ancient continent that existed in the Indian Ocean long before the emergence of humans but rather the metaculture whose centers in Enrof were Java, Sumatra, South Hindustan, and certain cities that now lie on the ocean floor. The Gondwanese culture existed as late as the sixth millennium B.C. This culture was composed of a federation of states – a commercial oligarchy with a slave-based economy. In addition, the advanced state of Gondwanese marine navigation enabled it to establish commercial and cultural links with the coast of Indochina, Ceylon, and many Indonesian islands. As in Atlantis, polytheism was dominant, as were the same three art forms, though in Gondwana dance developed into religious drama. But the bloodthirstiness and demonic, mystic cruelty of Atlantis was alien to Gondwana. They were a sensuous, sanguine, lifeloving people, richly gifted in the arts, and possessed of a very active sex life. Sexual mysticism permeated both their religious and everyday life, and attained genuine sumptuousness at the civilization's height. Not Atlantis, not even Babylon or Egypt knew such luxury. It seems to me that the Gondwanese race could be called pre-Malaysian. In any case, taut, brown' skin covered their high cheekbones and full lips, their oblong eyes were slightly slanted, and their bodies were well proportioned and muscular, with broad shoulders, slender waists, and very strong calves. They were a people blessed with the full-blooded and passionate beauty of the south” (2: 125).

XI.3. The Ancient Egyptian metaculture

This culture, which utterly eclipsed Atlantis in size and splendor, had created, even before the end of its historical existence, a huge Synclite and dazzling zatomis. … the Egyptian belief in the Heavenly Nile was based on experience of a higher reality. The magnificent river flowing through Ialu, the mythical Land of the Blessed – that is, the metaculture's zatomis – is multiplaned: it is both the great spiritualized elemental of the terrestrial Nile and the Collective Ideal Soul of the Egyptian people” (2: 126).

XI.3.2.1. Akhenaton

(14th century BC). “The demonic powers, however, dealt it a serious blow in the fourteenth century B.C., when the Providential powers, operating through the great visionary leader and prophet Akhenaton, made the first attempt in world history to enlighten the minds of the people with the truth of the One God. If Akhenaton's reforms had succeeded and met with worthy successors Christ would have undertaken His mission several centuries earlier, and he would have done so not on the banks of the Jordan but in the Nile River valley” (2: 126). Thus “the first attempt in history was made to establish a clearly formulated, Sun-centered monotheism as a national religion. It took place in Egypt, and the giant figure of its pharaoh reformer towers to this day over the horizon of past centuries as an example of one of history's first prophets. What utter isolation that genius poet and seer must have felt, concluding his inspired hymn to the One God with the tragic plaint: "And no one knows You besides Your Son, Akhenaton!" One should not, however, take that plaint too literally. There was at least one person who shared his feeling of isolation. The role of Queen Nefertiti, his wife, as an inspirer of and participant in the religious reforms can hardly be exaggerated.. … As we know, Akhenaton's efforts came to naught. Not only the religion he founded but even the name of the reformer himself was erased from the annals of Egyptian historiography. It was only at the end of the nineteenth century, through the efforts of European archaeologists, that the historical truth was reestablished. With the failure of that plan and the persistence of polytheism as the dominant religious form, Egypt too had to be dropped from the list of potential sites of Christ's incarnation” (2: 239). A. was incarnated as a prophet and a hero of the spirit “from the bloody dawn of humanity”, in the centuries after the Atlantis destruction (2: 237). Is at present in the Elite of Shadanakar (2: 233).

The Message of the Sphinx: A Quest for the Hidden Legacy of Mankind / 1st Pbk edition. – Three Rivers Press, 1997. – 384 p. – Paperback . # Is the Sphinx of prehistoric origin? Why was it built? In this provocative, rigorously argued historical and archaeological investigation, revisionist Egyptologists Hancock and Bauval (The Orion Mystery) join forces to answer these questions and more to present hard evidence that the Sphinx, the Pyramids, and the other monuments at Giza are of far more ancient origin than previously believed. The authors examine the Sphinx and its relation to the other monuments of the Giza plateau. Working from the premise that the Giza complex encodes a message, they begin with recently discovered geological evidence indicating that the deep erosion patterns on the flanks of the Sphinx were caused by 1000 years of heavy rain. Such conditions last existed in Egypt at the end of the last ice age, about 10,000-9,000 B.C., meaning that the Sphinx may be more than 12,000 years old (not the generally accepted 4500 years). The authors go on to suggest, using computer simulations of the sky, that the pyramids, representing the three stars of Orion’s Belt, along with associated causeways and alignments, constitute a record in stone of the celestial array at the vernal equinox in 10,500 B.C. This moment, they contend, represents Zep Tepi, the “First Time,” often referred to in the hieroglyphic record. They show how the initiation rituals of the Egyptian pharaohs replicate on Earth the sun’s journey through the stars in this remote era, and they suggest that the “Hall of Records” of a lost civilization may be located by treating the Giza Plateau as a template of these same ancient skies. These daring theories will raise the hackles of orthodox Egyptologists? but that doesn't mean they're wrong. Complete with evidence of a conspiracy between the Egyptology establishment and various confidential organizations to keep the secrets of the Pyramids from the world, The Message of the Sphinx is also a modern-day detective story.

XI.4. The Babylonian-Assyrian-Canaanite metaculture

This metaculture “arose, it appears, in the fourth millennium B.C. The seven-tiered temples/observatories, which were the centers and pinnacles of the great cities of the Tigris-Euphrates region, mirrored, like a terrestrial reflection, the grandiose heavenly city built by the Synclite … But the ziggurats in the cities of Babylonia and the collective of initiates who absorbed the radiations of the cosmic powers of Light on top of their mystical observatories were also not shielded from the extremely harmful radiations coming from the galactic anticosmos, whose center in Enrof is located in the Antares system. That tainted the already ambivalent religion even more and injected a subtle poison into the essence of those exposed, encrusting and weighting their inner self with doubt and pessimism. The Babylonian metaculture was the first in which Gagtungr was able to effect the incarnation of a Witzraor, a powerful demonic being, in the subterranean four-dimensional plane … To a significant degree the Witzraor was to blame for the general spiritual decline that distinguished the culture in Enrof. And although Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, was defeated in the end by Astarte, the goddess of Light, who, in a burst of sacrificial love, descended to the Babylonian transphysical planes of torment, their beliefs about the afterlife of all human souls, excluding those of kings and priests, was nevertheless steeped in a pessimistic, almost nihilistic despondency: it was an intuitive understanding of the paralyzing power of the demonic(2: 126–127).

          Nergal. Igvas first appeared in the shrastr of the Babylonian-Assyrian metaculture. Another race, the ancestors of the contemporary raruggs… inhabited the older shrastrs. … although no human monads are demonic by nature, it sometimes happens … that a person will at some point in his or her journey voluntarily become an igva. To do so requires a strong desire, tremendous clarity of mind, and singular ability in specific areas. Such was the founder of antihumankind, an individual who lived in a very real sense in Erech and Babylon, where he was a priest of Nergal, and behind whom stretched a long chain of incarnations in more ancient cultures and in the Titan humankind. The igvas originated from the union of that person with Lilith(2: 179).

Theme-based subject rubrics on the Chinese metaculture

          Shan Ti (in Russian Øàí-Òè) “is the zatomis of the Chinese metaculture, which has existed in Enrof since the second millennium B.C. It began to grow significantly in strength in the last centuries prior to Christ, when Confucianism created a lasting code of morality and everyday conduct that enabled the people's overall moral level to rise. However, a very low ceiling was placed on the free development of the higher aspects of the soul. Confucianist law, in gradually fossilizing, became not so much a vehicle for ascent as a brake to it. This explains why the size and strength of the Chinese zatomis, in spite of its long history, are not as great as one would expect. Another zatomis that coexists with Shan Ti encroached upon geographical China after the spread of Buddhism. In the last few centuries it has admitted many more enlightened souls than the national Chinese zatomis(2: 127).
