Another fantastic day working on the Yucatan Travel Video. I love remembering my visits to the wonderful colonial town of Izamal where the town’s people, modern-day Maya, live among the ancient Mayan ruins . Alas, an overzealous Spanish bishop, during the time of the Spanish Inquisition, dismantled one of the pyramids and used its stones to construct a convent. Obviously, the location is a powerful sacred site. As it turns out, the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary at this convent is attributed with having been an apparition because legend has it that the statue could not be moved from the convent. When we were there in December, the town had a huge celebration on her behalf complete with a carnival, a procession, and refreshments stands. Pope John Paul II made a pilgrimmage to the site.

Here’s a link to a number of images of Itzamna, the great god of the ancient Maya: http://images.google.com/images?q=itzamna&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&oe=utf8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=4HLFStLoM4ee8AaSpKQ5&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4
He is usually toothless, sits in a lotus position, sometimes has a beard – very unusual since the pure blooded Maya do not have beards. Verrry interesting.
Today, I am including the search for an image of Itzamna at Chichen Itza in the Yucatan Travel Movie.

Itzamna was a very important god of the ancient Maya. He is one of their founder gods who oversaw all the other gods.

Last night I heard a fantastic speech on Lemuria and Atlantis at the Edgar Cayce Forum in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Una Marcotte‘s lecture included visuals showing the location of Atlantis and Lemuria. I especially loved her description of the Atlanteans and Lemurians. She is so good at describing the root races, which I discussed in my books When We Were Gods and Arrival of the Gods in Egypt.

Today’s and yesterday’s . . . and tomorrow’s . . . Yucatan Travel Movie editing time will be spent on Izamal, one of my favorite destinations in the Mexican state of Yucatan. Not only does this beautiful colonial city have the highest pyramid in the state of Yucatan, but also, it has a gorgeous historical convent, the site of an apparition of the Virgin Mary. Izamal also used to be the headquarters of the ancient Maya creator god, Izamna. I love the place. It’s beautiful and it is sacred ground.

Today, I met with a woman who is becoming a friend. We have talked about 2012.
I have told her about my interviews with Mayan shamans, experts on the Maya and their Long Count Calendar, and Mayan people in the Yucatan.
She knows that my research among the Maya in the Yucatan is that the world is NOT going to end on December 21, 2012.
Instead, the Long Count Calendar will be starting on Day One December 22 IF present-day archeologists have correctly translated ancient Mayan glyphs and IF present-day archeologists have correctly correlated the Mayan Long Count calendar with our Gregorian calendar.
My friend told me that she had met a woman yesterday who proclaimed to her that on December 21, 2012, the world was going to end. Fortunately, my friend was able to assure this distraught woman that the world was not going to end on that date.

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?

Today, I reviewed the videotape from my seminar in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in May of this year on Atlantis and its Colony in Egypt.
I had planned to make a DVD of this seminar, especially since a number of people have asked me for a copy. I expected to see poor visuals. However, the visuals looked pretty good. Since I spoke in a church, the background was lovely, with a stained glass window, plants, and a wooden lectern/altar.
However, the audio part of the video turned out to be a disappointment, as so often is the case with videotapes. Fortunately, I have purchased a wireless microphone that will plug into my camcorder. I will use it for the videotape of the same topic next weekend in Portland, Oregon. It should make a much better recording.

Yesterday, I copied the notice of my upcoming July 18th event in Portland, Oregon on Atlantis and its Colony in Egypt. In the announcement, I said that my talk would be a day-long event and then said it would last from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon.
Well, that’s just half a day. And, although originally Nobie Tarpey, the organizer of the event who can be reached at (503)697-8341 or nobtarpey@yahoo.com, had asked me to speak for a half day, a little while later she decided to make the event a day-long seminar since a half day was not long enough to cover all the information. I guess I need to change the “Events” page on CaroleChapman.com, my speaker web site.

“Also there will be the opening of the temple or hall of records in Egypt and those records that were put into the heart of the Atlantean land may also be found . . .”
(Edgar Cayce reading Number 5750-1)
“See, most of the people had tails then!”
(Edgar Cayce reading Number 5748-6)
What kind of people were these Atlanteans that they had tails? Why did the Atlanteans create the Hall of Records in Egypt? What was the world like when Atlantis was in existence? What happened to Atlantis? Where is it now?
These questions will be answered in the Saturday, July 18th Seminar Atlantis and its Colony in Egypt.
Topics discussed will include:
- The reason the Atlanteans chose Egypt for a colony
- What was Egypt like when the Atlanteans arrived?
- Who was Hept-Supht and why did he leave Atlantis for Egypt?
Does your interest pique whenever you see information on Atlantis? Could you have been an Atlantean?
