Existence of the Lost City of Atlantis goes against conventional archeology

These are just a couple of paragraphs of a fantastic answer to the question: Do you believe in the lost city of Atlantis? If you’re interested in this topic, I suggest you follow the link and read the whole article. The online name of the author is “Dubbs.” The question was posed on the Yahoo! Answers UK and Ireland website.

With science accepting this as our basis for the premiss of existence, it will interfere many other branches of science. Archeology isn’t about discovering the truth of our past anymore, it’s about upholding the accepted version of what we call prehistoric fact. The history books have already been written, so when somebody comes across an anomalous find that just won’t fit into the accepted data it’s usually refuted, lost and forgotten. There have been numerous archeological finds that challenge what we know about history and it’s never accepted, it would change things.
So when Plato was told about the existence of Atlantis by the Egyptian priests, of course it was refuted. If a technological advanced civilization existed 9000 years ago as he was told, it would raise too many unanswered questions. Timeas and Critias, the two priests that relayed the tale to Plato, told him of an island continent in the Atlantic Ocean, beyond the Pillars of Hercules (Straight of Gebralter), that once waged war against the rest of the world. While attacking Athens a cataclysmic event caused this continent to become swallowed by the ocean. The survivors fled to Egypt and taught the Egyptians how to build the pyramids.

Atlantis could have been been matrilineal and matriarchical

According to Atlantis Quest – Uncovering the Secrets that Prove Plato Right, both Native American tribes who live on the West side of the Atlantic Ocean and the Basques who live on the East side of the Atlantic Ocean share the same mitochondrial DNA haplogroup X–giving rise to speculation that they both spring from a common ancestor who lived on a landmass in the Atlantic Ocean, the lost continent of Atlantis.

Interestingly, many Native Americans tribes are often matrilineal (inheritance and descent spring from the female line) and matriarchal (ruled by women).

Could the Native Americans derive their rulership and inheritance traditions from the same place their derived their mitochondrial DNA haplogroup X?

Was Atlantis ruled by women?

In yesterday’s post, I wrote that I have discovered that the word, Atlantis, means “the Daughter of Atlas.” This is especially interesting to me, because I think read somewhere, perhaps  in Edgar Cayce’s psychic readings of people who had had past lives in Atlantis, that the Atlanteans were a matriarchal society. Do you know anything about this?

Meaning of the word, “Atlantis”

I am enjoying reading the description of Atlantis on the Annoyz View website. For example, I did not know that:

 In Greek the word Atlantis means “daughter of Atlas”.

The Lost City of Atlantis

 

How will we know it’s Atlantis?

I often wonder: When we finally find Atlantis, will there be a large sign saying, “Atlantis” so we know we have found the right place? Because, if it’s only a ruin, it could be anything! And, if there is a marquee, will the name be listed in English? (I hope you realize this is all tongue-in-cheek.) Even though I am kidding, the kernel of truth within it is that with every claim that some explorer has found the lost city of Atlantis–and there are so many–I wonder how will the archaeologists prove that this particular ruins is Atlantis?

Super-volcanoes could bring about a 2012 doomsday scenario

As we enter 2012, and wonder about the Mayan prophecies: Are they about the end of the world, a new beginning, or what? Here’s some information about super-volcanoes:

Each of the world’s roughly one dozen super-volcanoes is capable of spewing out thousands of times more magma and ash than any eruption ever recorded in human history.

Can scientists predict volcanic eruptions? Mythical Atlantis may hold the answer.

Fly-by from a bald eagle

Today, a bald eagle flew–no, soared–right over my head. If you’ve read When We Were Gods, my book about past life memories of the lost city of Atlantis, you’ll know why the eagle’s fly-by was especially important and exciting for me.

Are the ancient supercontinents of Gondwana and Pangaea related in any way?

I wondered if Gondwana had anything to do with Pangaea the ancient supercontinent. According to Wikipedia, the supercontinent of Gondwana, which was originally called Gondwanaland, joined with Laurasia to form Pangaea. Gondwana existed from 510 to 180 million years ago.

I’m interested, because I wonder if there is evidence that points to previous lost continents such as Atlantis and Lemuria.

Speaking Events: The Advent of the Fifth Root Race

It’s been another day of writing descriptions of seminar topics. Today, one of the topics I wrote about is called, The Advent of the Fifth Root Race. The “root races” are an extremely “far out” topic associated with the types of people that populated Lemuria and Atlantis. The Austrian occultist Rudolph Steiner and the Ukrainian mystic Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky also wrote about them. My main source for information on the root races are the psychic readings of Edgar Cayce. As far out as this topic is, there are many people who are intrigued by it. I will be discussing the root races, and specifically the advent of the fifth root race, on Thursday, April 18th, in the evening, in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada.
