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
On May 6th, I wrote:
Last night I had three dreams telling me to work on the “Behind the Scenes” Bonus Feature of the Yucatan Travel Movie.
Behind the Scenes Yucatan Travel Movie Dream
So, that’s what I did. Today, I am happy to say that I finished “Behind the Scenes” of the Yucatan Travel Movie. I really enjoyed making this short video because it shows how we coped with the roads being ripped up on our second shooting trip to Izamal.

Could this be our tour guide Victor Olalde, proprietor of Posada Olalde, the budget guest house close to the Mayan ruins in Chichen Itza? It sounds like Victor. Meera Dattani writes in the timesonline:
My tour guide Victor has Mayan roots and is worth every peso for his desire to inform, elaborate and entertain.

It sure sounds like Victor for his vast storehouse of knowledge and his willingness to share it with us. He also took us to a Maya home where I shot footage for the Yucatan Travel Movie.

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?

Such a fun article by Carolina Muscle, or “Yer Ole Uncle Nuts” about his Yucatan travel adventures. I can attest to problems with all the speed bumps from my experiences in Yucatan while filming the Yucatan Travel Movie.
The drive was long – about 5 hours from Cancun, or 3 hours from Costa Maya,
but the roads were great—
— if you disregard the hundred-some speed bumps on the highway – –
In the United States, we use radar to control speed-
…. in the southern Mexican state of Quintana Roo, they use speed bumps.
The speed limit on the Federal Highway was 100 KMH–
–but you had to slow down to about 5 when you got to the bumps.
And they weren’t the small ones either-
— these would tear the tranny right outta yer Jeep if you hit em too hard.
fun with yer ole Uncle Nuts in the Yucatan76

He also writes about visiting one of the Mayan ruins, including a description of his tourist guide, who is a retired Mexican teacher and very proud of his Mayan roots. Take a look at the article for a bunch of great photographs.

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?

This article claims to be scientifically based. It examines NASA evidence, as well as other scientists, and comes to the conclusion that a magnetic (not physical) pole shift is imminent. Then, it asks questions about what to expect:
If trends can be used as parameters, scientists believe that we are fast approaching another magnetic pole shift, but not a pole shift in which the North or South Poles will switch locations with other continents on the Earth.
Global disruption in the way things go on Earth may also happen. Migratory animals and birds, both in the seas and on land, may experience disorientation. Our planet, itself, may be stripped off the protective field that shield us from destructive cosmic rays and planetary bodies. And if the crust of the our planet is displaced, scientists fear that we would plunge into the oceans. Entire cities, particularly those that lie in the coastal areas, may leave no trace of their existence on earth save for the remnants that are buried in the sea. Even the very existence of our civilization may hang by a thread. Our civilization could be likened with the lost city of Atlantis, engulfed by the seas, and forever lost.
Polar Reversal NASA – Pole Shift and Magnetic Pole Reversal
I found this a bit unsettling. I already knew that the magnetic poles were shifting and I also knew that the study of the magnetic field of rocks has shown that the earth’s magnetic poles have shifted numerous times in the past.
However, it didn’t occur to me to think that there might be consequences such as, according to this article, the possibility of the migration of birds and butterflies being sent off kilter or that the earth might be stripped of its “protective shield,” whatever that means.
