There is so much information in this blog post on the Lost City of Atlantis that I decided just to copy and paste the whole article.
Some of it I have read about elsewhere, such as that the submerged land of the Atlantic Ocean was once above sea level and was Atlantis.
Some of it is new to me such as that 12,000 years ago our present North was South and our present South was North. Intriguing. Does this mean there was a pole shift?
Here’s the article. It’s by Edziomek, posted on May 27th, 2010 at http://community.history.com.
The Spanish researchers, and several of the posters have correctly explained that there are so many underwater former human habitats, that it will be difficult, but not impossible, to isolate just one location as the “real Atlantis”. I certainly encourage the Spanish researchers to try, and they may be right!
I am in the same boat as the speculators. As 10,000 persons before me, I am suggesting that the “Atlantic” is “Atlantis”, the continent. To find the explicit 20 by 40 mile habitat section called Atlantis, the city, under the mud is very difficult. As mentioned before, all ocean floors, the floor of the Med, the floor of the Gulf of Mexico, the Bay of Bengal, they are all showing organized, probably advanced, human habitat formations of the most extreme antiquity, probably 60 to 100,000 years ago.
As many before me have probably done, I took the time to overlay the most common ancient Atlantean map, with titles “upside down”, and overlaid the Atlantic ocean topography. Azores is the highlight still above water, and it stands for “O-siris”. The map depicts the mid-Atlantic world in the epoch of time when “North” was today’s “South”, and that would be 12,000 years ago.

In addition, remember what the ancient Egyptian priests told Solon, that “You Greeks are like children, you don’t even know your own history”. The Egyptian priests were explaining…”You too were Atlanteans, and you don’t even know it!”
I am convinced that the ancient Greeks had maps of those lost lands, and they hid these facts in their mythologies: The helmet of Athena was the area west of Ireland. The discus thrower encompassed Azores, and Northwest to Greenland. The disc itself is the “Aten”, an area south of Greenland.
There were two oceans, Atlanticos towards Spain, and Oceanos in the Bermuda area, with the Mid-Atlantic ridge area above water and showing massive habitats of extreme antiquity all the way down to Antarctica. Somewhere in the transition between Atlanticos and Oceanos, where the straits were narrow, was the city of Atlantis.
In my opinion, this was the ancient homeland area of some of the Greek tribes, Athenians for instance. The “sparkling white mountain” was Bermuda.

There are laser beam roads all across these ocean floors, indicating the entire world topography seems to have reversed, what is ocean floor was above sea level, and vice verse.

Here’s some strange information on Atlantis and Lemuria supposedly from Helena Petrovna Blavatsky‘s The Secret Doctrine. The following quote is
from a detractor who calls Madam Blavasky‘s book, “The Stupid Doctrine:”
Apparently the “elect” from the lost continent of Lemuria were to be found on Atlantis, before they made their way to Shamballah in the Gobi desert. When Lemuria was destroyed, Atlantis appeared (II, 402).

In my May 18th and 19th blog posts, I examined the report, Dr. Ray Brown’s Subterranean Pyramid Diving Experience, on Crystalinks that a Dr. Ray Brown came upon a submerged 120-foot tall pyramid in the Bahamas.
I found this report especially intriguing because Edgar Cayce, America’s amazing seer, also known as “The Sleeping Prophet,” said that there were three places in the world where the Atlanteans had left records of their civilization. One was near Bimini in the Bahamas.

I’ve been thinking about that article I mentioned in yesterday’s blog post from Crystalinks. In the article entitled, Dr. Ray Brown’s Subterranean Pyramid Diving Experience, Dr. Ray Brown was a scuba diver from Mesa.
He goes off by himself, away from his friends, and, without anyone around to back up his story, comes upon this underwater pyramid. After his experience, does he bring his friends to the pyramid? No. Was there really a pyramid?
This is the part that makes me wonder. He says that it was 120 feet high – Did he measure it? How did he know? And, here’s the real kicker. He also says that only 90 feet of the 120-foot-high pyramid was sticking out of the sand. Really? Did he measure it? Did he dig down?
I love a good lost continent of Atlantis story. I have past life memories of being in Atlantis that I wrote about in my books, When We Were Gods and Arrival of the Gods in Egypt, and, I really, really want to believe that someone has found what could be the ruins of Atlantis submerged in the Bahamas.
But, even I have to wonder how a lone scuba diver could know that only 90 feet of a 120 foot tall pyramid was sticking out of the sand and that 30 feet of the pyramid was buried. Do you know how deep 30 feet is? That’s about as tall as a three story house.
He dug that far down to the base of it? With his hands? Is this a dream or a fairy tale?

Today I thought I’d just check out Crystalinks to see if there was anything new on that site that I haven’t seen before on Atlantis. Well, I am glad I did because I found this amazing article about a Dr. Ray Brown who evidently found an amazing crystal inside an underwater pyramid in the Bahamas while scuba diving. You’ve got to read the article.
I am amazed that Dr. Brown had the hutzpah to go inside this strange pyramid. Maybe scuba divers are naturally braver and more curious that ordinary folk.
If it was me and I came across a totally never-before-seen pyramid sticking out of the earth, I wouldn’t go charging inside it.
When I visited the Great Pyramid in Egypt, even seeing the three great pyramids from a distance awed me to my bones because they are so absolutely strange compared to any square or even dome building I’ve ever seen before.
I can’t imagine approaching and climbing into something that unusual without at least calling some friends to join me. And, why didn’t he take pictures? Don’t scuba divers bring underwater cameras with them?
Furthermore, this Dr. Brown had the audacity to take away a crystal he found held by life-size hands that appeared to be burnt. I think I’d be fainting about now. Life-size hands that appear burnt inside an underwater pyramid! Run away, run away!
And, whatever you do, do NOT touch the crystal! Oh no, but not only does Dr. Brown have to touch the crystal in the weird hands, but also he has to take it away! It supposedly has been examined by someone at the Smithsonian Institute. Is this for real?
Here’s the beginning of the Crystalinks article. The rest of the article is at the link below.
Allegedly in 1970, Dr. Ray Brown, a naturopathic practitioner from Mesa, Arizona, was scuba diving with friends near the Bahamas, in an area 20 miles from the edge of a submarine drop-off called the Tongue of the Ocean.
During the dive, Brown became separated from his companions, and in trying to rejoin them, suddenly saw a strange pyramid shape looming up against the aquamarine light. The pyramid was situated 22 fathoms down, stood 120 feet high, with only 90 feet projecting out of the sea floor shifting sands. Brown was at first struck by how smooth and mirror-like the stone surface of the structure was, with the joints between the individual blocks almost indiscernible.
Dr. Ray Brown’s Subterranean Pyramid Diving Experience
I remember an incident when I was speaking at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, Virginia, for the Edgar Cayce Forum. Since my topic dealt with Edgar Cayce’s psychic readings on Atlantis, I opened by asking the audience to name a number of places that have been publicized as “Atlantis Found.” I received suggestions from numerous people such as in the Atlantic Ocean by the Sargasso Sea, the Azores Islands, the Caribbean Sea around Bimini Island – all mentioned in the Edgar Cayce readings as locations where Atlantis once existed. In the middle of this introduction, one man stood up, and he would not sit down but he insisted that Atlantis was in the Indian Ocean in Indonesia.
Well, today I found what may be the source of that man’s certainty that Atlantis had been in the Indian Ocean. This theory is based on the work of Professor Arysio Nunes dos Santos who says that the world during Atlantean times was very different. He reminds us that much of the time during the existence of Atlantis, the world was in the Pleistocene era, a time when the Ice Ages dominated the earth. Because of the ice, the water level was much lower than it is now. He also says that there was much more ocean and much less land at that time (which doesn’t really make sense if the water level was much lower, there would have been much more ocean floor exposed) and that the Atlantic Ocean would have extended into the Indian Ocean.
I only viewed the first part of the videotaped interview with the professor. However, I find his theory intriguing and thought you might also. Here’s the link: http://www.atlan.org.

I enjoyed the well-written summary of Plato’s information on Atlantis in the following blog. It especially interested me because Plato evidently said that Atlantis conquered parts of Africa.
This information agrees with my past life regressions in which I had past life memories of travelling from Atlantis to Egypt. My story is in my book, Arrival of the Gods in Egypt. In 2000, I traveled to Egypt to look for evidence of Atlanteans in the paintings in the pharaoh’s tombs in the Valley of the Kings.
The Greek philosopher Plato was the first to acknowledge the existence of Atlantis in his dialogues “Timaeus” and “Critias”. Plato’s accounts have Atlantis lying “beyond the pillars of Hercules” and being a island of great naval power that conquered parts of Africa and Western Europe.
The Ongoing Search For the Lost City of Atlantis
Here’s another excerpt from that marvelous article on seven factors in the Atlantis quest. I quoted it previously in my April 28th and 30th posts.
In order to find the colonies of Atlantis, or even the capital city of the island empire itself, diving equipment will be required. Sea level was about sixty meters lower when Atlantis supposedly sank, so those colonies may be closer to the old, submerged coastline. And the capital city is likely under three kilometers of ocean water.
The sentence that really intrigues me is that “Sea level was about sixty meters lower when Atlantis supposedly sank . . .” Wow! Why was the sea level so much lower then than it is now?

Tiahuanaca is 12 miles south of the southern tip of Lake Titicaca in Peru. There are ruins at Tiahuanaca which point to a technologically advanced civilization that existed in prehistory, some calculate at 12,000 years ago, which is a date consistent with Plato‘s 9,000 BC date for the demise of Atlantis.
An article at List of 10 Little Known Advanced Ancient Civilizations describes 10 ancient civilizations that are not as popularly known as the ancient Egyptians, Greek, Roman and Carthiginian.
Evidence shows that this civilization was capable of lifting and transporting rocks that weighed 200 tons. Sound familiar? The ancient Egyptians could evidently accomplish similar feats.
Interestingly, according to Edgar Cayce, America’s great psychic, Atlanteans made colonies in Egypt, Yucatan and Peru.
Could Tiahuanaca be the remains of an ancient Atlantean colony?

Could the study of genetics possibly contribute to the quest for Atlantis? The following excerpt explains it:
We have clues from biology that link the Basques with some Native American tribes. The genetic link, though, shows a separation of at least twelve thousand years, and this is just right for our Atlantis Quest. The minimum date of genetic separation is that of Plato’s date for the destruction of that long, lost island empire.
The Basques are people who live in the region of Europe on either side of the border between France and Spain. Interestingly, they have a language that does not seem to be related to any known language on earth. Here is an excerpt from the Wikipedia article on the Basque language:
Little is known of its origins but it is likely that an early form of the Basque language was present in Western Europe before the arrival of the Indo-European languages to the area.
Basque Language
Could their language be derived from the Atlantean language? Could they be genetically related to the North American Indian because of their common origin: the lost continent, Atlantis, that once occupied the present-day Atlantic Ocean?
