Atlantis now found in Guatemala!

At People Forum (peopleforum.cn), an article from the C.S. Monitor says that a retired German mathematics teacher has discovered an underwater ruin of a city filled with a cache of treasure. Joachim Rittstieg says that he found eight tons of gold in Lake Izabal in eastern Guatemala, which he claims is from the lost city of Atlantis. Conventional archeologists decry he is a fake.

Rittstieg says he can’t help the fact that he found the city and the experts didn’t. He says the ancient Dresden Codex and Mayan priests guided him, and claims the US Navy helped detect the exact location. “They say it cannot be. But I have the basic information now,” says Rittstieg, who is seeking funding for an excavation.

Lost City of Atlantis found – again – this time in Guatemala

Five Navy hot shot pilots disappear forever in the Bermuda Triangle

A 2003 online National Geographic News article on the Bermuda Triangle by Hilary Mayell begins:

On a sunny day 58 years ago, five Navy planes took off from their base in Florida on a routine training mission, known as Flight 19. Neither the planes nor the crew were ever seen again.
Thus a legend was born.
Bermuda Triangle: Behind the Intrigue

The Bermuda Triangle interests me because of hypnotherapy past life memories of Atlantis, which was supposed to have gone down in the Atlantic Ocean, perhaps right in the area of the Bermuda Triangle. I write about my experiences in my book When We Were Gods.

Bermuda Triangle incidents could be caused by gas hydrates

Gas hydrates are pockets of methane gas that bubble up from the continental shelf with the result that sea water loses its buoyancy causing ships to sink suddenly. Following is a 1996 diagram from the U.S. Government posted on Wikipedia showing the location of known pockets of gas hydrates, including the Bermuda Triangle off the coast of Florida:

Could the demise of Atlantis be associated with gas hydrates?

Christopher Columbus reported “Bermuda Triangle” phenomena

It hadn’t occurred to me to wonder how long Bermuda Triangle phenomena have been going on. However, I find it interesting to see that the byerly.org website reports that Christopher Columbus noted that:

To my knowledge the first documentation that anything was amiss in the area came from Christopher Columbus,
who reported compass malfunctions and a bolt of fire that fell into the sea. He also reports of a light on the horizon.
Bermuda Triangle

My interest in the Bermuda Triangle stems from the Edgar Cayce Atlantis psychic readings that say that evidence of Atlantis could be found in the Bermuda Triangle.

Bermuda Triangle Mystery

According to an online Wikipedia article, the Bermuda Triangle, which is generally considered to extend from the tip of Florida to Bermuda to Puerto Rico:

Documented evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the incidents were inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, and numerous official agencies have stated that the number and nature of disappearances in the region is similar to that in any other area of ocean.

Some who believe in paranormal activity in the Bermuda Triangle speculate that it may be caused by Atlantean technology buried in the Atlantic ocean below the area which is also called the Devil’s Triangle.

Is a buried Atlantis causing the Bermuda Triangle Phenomena?

The other day I was talking with Clair Balsley, the editor-in-chief of SunTopaz, the company that publishes my books, such as When We Were Gods.

She said that she had recently seen a television program on the Bermuda Triangle and that she wondered if Atlantis could be buried under the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.

Interestingly, Edgar Cayce said that evidence of Atlantis could be found at Bimini, a pair of islands in the Bahamas 50 miles east of Miami. Bimini is in the Bermuda Triangle.

Atlantis is the Top of the List

I am delighted to see that Atlantis is the top of the Post Chronicles’ Greatest Mysteries in History! It is certainly at the top of my list. Second on the list? Stonehenge.

Atlantean Hall of Records in the Edgar Cayce readings

Here’s a quote from America’s great psychic Edgar Cayce on the sealing of the Atlantean Hall of Records in the Great Pyramid:

The ceremony [sealing of the tomb of records at Gizeh] was long; the clanging of the apex by the gavel that was used in the sounding of the placing. Hence there has arisen from this ceremony many of those things that may be seen in the present; as the call to prayer, the church bell in the present, may be termed a descendant; the sounding of the trumpet as the call to arms, or that as revelry; the sound as of those that make for mourning, in the putting away of the body; the sounding as of ringing in the new year, the sounding as of the coming of the bridegroom; all have their inception from the sound that was made that kept the earth’s record of the earth’s building, as to that from the change.

Lost City of Atlantis screensavers search

I’m looking for Lost City of Atlantis screensavers and not coming up with the pyramids and crystal palaces I hoped for. Mostly what I’m finding are images of undersea ruins that look like Dorian columns. If Atlantis existed around 9,000 BC and it was a technologically advanced society, I would expect ruins of Atlantis to look like unusual architecture.

Lost City of Atlantis Screensaver

I got all excited at the thought of a Lost City of Atlantis Screensaver, expecting ruined pyramids and toppled crystal palaces. I guess my idea was too lofty because the image I found displays only a few ruined columns that could be Greek or Roman and a bunch of beautifully colorful fish. The fish are cute and very pretty. It’s also supposed to move around–I assume the fish.
