Atlantis Novel Explores Present-day Correlations with Ancient Destruction

Spanish author Javier Negrete locates his fictional Atlantis on the Greek island of Santorini, where, many believe, the largest volcanic eruption in human history occurred. In Negrete’s Atlantida (Atlantis in Greek), he interweaves the story of the destruction of this Santorini Atlantis with our present-day situation, in which we stand on the brink of another possible Atlantis-like destruction.

FIRA, Greece – Spanish writer Javier Negrete explores people’s fascination with natural disasters in “Atlantida” (Atlantis), a novel that transplants the tale of that mythical submerged civilization to the modern day.

Atlantis Found off the Coast of West Africa?

Well, it looks like it’s happened again! Someone has found Atlantis! This time, they’re sure they really found the mysterious lost city. We’ll see. They do have some intriguing photographs!

There are so many claims that Atlantis has finally been found.

According to the article excerpted below, even Google Maps mappers thought they had found the underwater streets of the lost city of Atlantis off the coast of Africa until they realized that their mapping boat had made the marks.

A group of ‘undersea archaeologists’ have become the latest to claim they have uncovered the lost city of Atlantis.
The scientists – who have refused to identify themselves – have released a series of images taken beneath the Caribbean.
They insist the snaps show what appear to be the ruins of a city that could pre-date Egypt’s pyramids, which appeared after 2600BC.

Sculpture from Atlantis in West Africa?

Take a look at this article about magnificent ancient sculptures judged on a level with ancient Italian and Greek artwork. I love how, so often, explorers attribute their finds to having come from the lost continent of Atlantis, especially when they don’t know who created the works of art.

When the German explorer Leo Frobenius went on an expedition to West Africa 100 years ago and discovered beautiful terracotta sculptures and brass heads from Ife, he thought he had found Plato’s lost city of Atlantis.

Divers Study Bimini Road

Here’s a blog report of a snorkelling trip to the “road” from the Lost City of Atlantis off the coast of Bimini Island.

With a nod to the affirmative, snorkellers zipped tight into wetsuits are ready to slip into the sea in search of the Lost City of Atlantis.

Since the 1970s when a prediction made by American psychic Edgar Cayce in the 1930s appeared to be realized, the site has been explored by thousands of divers, scientists and TV crews.

Lord of the Rings Past Lives

I saw Peter Jackson’s marvelous Lord of the Rings, Return of the King, again last night and wondered how much of our resonance with the J.R.R. Tolkien story comes from past life memories of our time during the Middle Ages. But also, with the immortal elves and the evil orcs, I wonder if our fascination with the Trilogy of the Rings harkens even further back to the time when we were immortal, during the time before death when we were in Atlantis.

Chief Chester Moore’s Totem Pole

Totem pole carving is not a dead art only relegated to ancient totem poles displayed in museums. Totem poles are living things created by modern-day master carvers such as Chief of Chiefs Chester Moore.

We interviewed Chester on videotape in his home village of Kinkolith, on the mighty and cold Nass River, which empties into the Pacific Ocean south of the Alaska panhandle.

The Nisga’a tribe, of which Chester is a member, is separated into four clans: Wolf, Eagle, Raven, and Killer Whale. Chester is Chief of Chiefs of the Frog Clan which is interrelated with the Raven clan.

Knowing that there is a frog clan makes me feel good since I had memories of being a frog / human mixture during my past life regressions of Atlantis. I wrote about my memories of Atlantis in both my books: When We Were Gods and Arrival of the Gods in Egypt.

Here are my photographs of a couple of the amazing animals carved on Chester’s magnificent totem pole.

Two fierce ravens adorn the top of the totem pole. They look over to the snow-capped mountains on the other side of the Nass River in Northern British Columbia.

Chester pointed out to me that this is a metaphysical frog since it has human faces in its eyes.

Wonderful Gathering in Portland, Oregon

Well, the “Atlantis and its Colony in Egypt” seminar is over. Most of the people have gone home. A few linger behind – friends, new friends, chatting, exchanging information.

I feel happy to have met them all. It was a lovely gathering. Thank you Nobie and Raymond Tarpey for hosting this event.

Portland in July – Anchorage in August

As you know, I will be presenting Atlantis and its Colony in Egypt in Portland, Oregon, this Saturday, July 18th at Raymond and Nobie Tarpey’s place, 2481 Marylshire Lane, Lake Oswego, Oregon, contact Nobie Tarpey at (503)697-8341, nobtarpey@yahoo.com.

More information about this and the following program in Anchorage Alaska can be found on my speaker web site at http://www.CaroleChapman.com/Events.html.

You may not know that I will in Anchorage, Alaska presenting a new program on August 14, 15, and 16. It is called Everyone Has a Book in Them. This seminar is both an opportunity to explore your creativity with both writing and photography and also a practical “how to” get your ideas into a book, published and promoted.

I decided to create this new program because of the emphasis Edgar Cayce puts on creativity as an expression of soul that is as powerful as the psychic. Since everyone can write, I thought it was a good place to start.

Because I am a non-fiction spirituality writer, I am also bringing my friend, national award-winning mystery writer Jean C. Keating to talk about the fiction end of book authoring.

Perhaps you’d like to join Jean and me in Alaska on August 14, 15 and 16 at the A.T.O.M. Center on 425 Raspberry Road in Anchorage, Alaska. It is a lovely time of year to vacation in one of the most beautiful wilderness destinations in North America.

Make a week of it and explore Alaska as well as your creativity! After the class, you can practice your writing and photography while vacationing in Alaska. You can write about your experiences and take photographs to illustrate your writing. Or just use your experiences in Alaska to relax your mind so you can more easily write that book you’ve been meaning to write.

For details about fees and the schedule of the Alaska program, go to the Everyone Has a Book in Them web site (there’s an early registration discount special!).

Preparation for Atlantis and its Colony in Egypt

Continuing to prepare for my Atlantis and its Colony in Egypt presentation in Portland, Oregon this Saturday, July 18th.

If you found Atlantis, how would you know?

In reviewing my notes for my talk next Saturday in Portland, Oregon, on Atlantis and its Colony in Egypt, I wonder again, how would you prove some ancient civilization actually was Atlantis?

It isn’t as if there would be a sign that said, “Atlantis.” Who knows what Atlanteans had called themselves or what, if any, language they used? Maybe they had no written language at all or anyway, no language like any on earth at this time. How would you know it was Atlantis and not some other ancient civilization?
