He Walked the Americas: Science Fiction or True Native Legends?

This is a hard one. Is the book, He Walked the Americas by L. Taylor Hansen researched anthropological fact based on Native legends or is it merely cleverly-crafted fiction?

I’m reading He Walked the Americas by L. Taylor Hansen in preparation for my September 29th talk, THE YUCATAN CONNECTION TO ATLANTIS AND LEMURIA USING CAYCE CLUES AND MYTHOLOGY for the Edgar Cayce Forum in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

However, as fascinating as the stories in the book appear, there are details that seem absolutely outlandish such as that this Pale Faced Prophet knelt to pray. The rendition of the Lord’s Prayer, Native American-style seems concocted rather than a true translation from a Native American tongue.

Therefore, I did a Google search to see if I could find a biography of L. Taylor Hansen and discovered that she made her living as a science fiction writer. Therefore, could it be that He Walked the Americas a cleverly crafted science fiction novel a la Michael Crichton’s Congo?

I also went to Amazon’s listing of the book to see if I could come across research by other readers and discovered that a reviewer that gave the book a one-star rating had contacted Stanford University and discovered that L. Taylor Hansen had never been a student there as her biography on the back of the book says.

In addition, her own Amazon review (posthumously posted on Amazon from her autobiographical memoir) says that she went to University of California at Los Angeles, went to a northern dog-sled adventure and then returned to school, I assume to Stanford but she does not say in her own autobiography. Did she, or did she not go to Stanford?

These are just some of the confusing details that make me wonder if her book is science fiction rather than actual anthropological research.

The book sure did get me excited that the Natives of the Americas had recollections of Atlantis (“the Old Red Land“) in their traditions. But, like I said, it might all be fiction.

Photo of Santorini Possible Atlantis Location

I’ve mentioned Santorini, a Greek island, before. It is thought by some to be the location of the lost city of Atlantis. Here’s a great photo of the Santorini Harbor from the cliffs above.

Santorini Island, Greece

Ships are seen in the waters below the towering cliffs of Santorini. A Greek island of unmatched beauty, Santorini is thought by some to have been part of the lost city of Atlantis.

The photo is by Dr. Hubert Dellinger from his article, Reader Travelogue: Strands of history intertwine on tour of Mediterranean islands, that appeared in the online newspaper, the Commercial Appeal from Memphis, Tennessee.

The Atlantes and Atlantis

A coincidence or what! In Yucatan, among Mayan ruins, there are ancient statues that are supposed to be holding up the world called Atlantes. Is that Atlantes or Atlantis? Where did these Atlantes get their name? What difference, if any, is there between the pronunciation of Atlantes and Atlantis. It could very well be only a difference in interpreting the spoken word. They are probably the same word!

Pyramid Builders Could Have Built the Queen’s Pyramids NOT the Great Pyramids

In my June 13th post entitled, I said that:

Another important discovery on the Giza Plateau in Egypt, which is the location of the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx, is interpreted as a the discovery of the graves of the builders of the Great Pyramid.

Pyramid Builders’ Tombs Discovered in Giza

However, as I said in my book, Arrival of the Gods in Egypt, I wonder if any and all graves of pyramid builders uncovered by archeologists are builders of the Great Pyramid or of other pyramids on the Giza Plateau such as the Queens Pyramids.

Take a look at this magnificent award-winning Wikipedia image showing a map of the Great Pyramid in relationship to the other pyramids on the Giza Plateau:

Wikipedia Giza Pyramid Complex Map

Map of Giza Pyramid Complex

Notice the three smaller pyramids in the bottom left called, “Pyramids of Queens,” or the three smaller pyramids in the middle right of the map to the right of the Pyramid of Khufu, the Great Pyramid. I am curious to know whether the archeologist know for sure which pyramids the pyramid builders built.

In my past life regression of the building of the Great Pyramid, also described in my book, Arrival of the Gods in Egypt, I saw the Great Pyramid under construction not by pyramid builders but by mind power.

Wizardry takes over Lost Continent at Orlando

Is this a trend? Harry Potter is getting more interest than the Lost Continent . . . meaning, I supposed, Atlantis, at Orlando theme parks. Is this a trend for the world? Greater interest in Harry Potter than in Atlantis? Oh my!

According to the Orlando Sentinel:

Scott Smith, a professor in the University of Central Florida’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management, predicts that Universal will eventually opt to convert the rest of the Lost Continent section of Islands of Adventure into an expansion of Wizarding World.

Universal has already turned two Lost Continent rides into Potter-themed rides — the renamed Dragon Challenge and Flight of the Hippogriff roller coasters. That leaves only two significant attractions — Poseidon’s Fury and the Eight Voyages of Sinbad Stunt Show — to anchor Lost Continent.

One of a Kind? Harry Potter’s Success in Orlando Could Lead to More Parks

I guess ya gotta keep moving and changing those attractions to keep them customers comin’ back!
