Bermuda Triangle Mystery

According to an online Wikipedia article, the Bermuda Triangle, which is generally considered to extend from the tip of Florida to Bermuda to Puerto Rico:

Documented evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the incidents were inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, and numerous official agencies have stated that the number and nature of disappearances in the region is similar to that in any other area of ocean.

Bermuda Triangle

Some who believe in paranormal activity in the Bermuda Triangle speculate that it may be caused by Atlantean technology buried in the Atlantic ocean below the area which is also called the Devil’s Triangle.

Is a buried Atlantis causing the Bermuda Triangle Phenomena?

The other day I was talking with Clair Balsley, the editor-in-chief of SunTopaz, the company that publishes my books, such as When We Were Gods.

She said that she had recently seen a television program on the Bermuda Triangle and that she wondered if Atlantis could be buried under the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.

Interestingly, Edgar Cayce said that evidence of Atlantis could be found at Bimini, a pair of islands in the Bahamas 50 miles east of Miami. Bimini is in the Bermuda Triangle.

Atlantean Hall of Records in the Edgar Cayce readings

Here’s a quote from America’s great psychic Edgar Cayce on the sealing of the Atlantean Hall of Records in the Great Pyramid:

The ceremony [sealing of the tomb of records at Gizeh] was long; the clanging of the apex by the gavel that was used in the sounding of the placing. Hence there has arisen from this ceremony many of those things that may be seen in the present; as the call to prayer, the church bell in the present, may be termed a descendant; the sounding of the trumpet as the call to arms, or that as revelry; the sound as of those that make for mourning, in the putting away of the body; the sounding as of ringing in the new year, the sounding as of the coming of the bridegroom; all have their inception from the sound that was made that kept the earth’s record of the earth’s building, as to that from the change.

Tom Cruise in the Riviera Maya Yucatan

Tom Cruise and his family visit the Riviera Maya in Yucatan so often, that the owners of the resort they frequent have build a special suite just for him, Katie Holmes, and their daughter Suri.

The online article titled Mexico’s Riviera Maya: What Celebrity Families Vacation There? says that Julia Roberts, Mark Wahlberg, Salma Hayek, Anjolina Jolie and Brad Pitt also enjoy the Riviera Maya.

The Yucatan Travel Movie shows vacation hot spots, such as Tulum where Mick Jagger visits.

Lost City of Atlantis screensavers search

I’m looking for Lost City of Atlantis screensavers and not coming up with the pyramids and crystal palaces I hoped for. Mostly what I’m finding are images of undersea ruins that look like Dorian columns. If Atlantis existed around 9,000 BC and it was a technologically advanced society, I would expect ruins of Atlantis to look like unusual architecture.

Lost City of Atlantis Screensaver

I got all excited at the thought of a Lost City of Atlantis Screensaver, expecting ruined pyramids and toppled crystal palaces. I guess my idea was too lofty because the image I found displays only a few ruined columns that could be Greek or Roman and a bunch of beautifully colorful fish. The fish are cute and very pretty. It’s also supposed to move around–I assume the fish.

Wikipedia’s article on Plato’s description of Atlantis in the Critias mentions the ocean

A Wikepedia article, Atlantis, describes Plato’s Critias and includes an excerpt that makes reference to Atlantis being in the ocean:

But at a later time there occurred portentous earthquakes and floods, and one grievous day and night befell them, when the whole body of your warriors was swallowed up by the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner was swallowed up by the sea and vanished; wherefore also the ocean at that spot has now become impassable and unsearchable, being blocked up by the shoal mud which the island created as it settled down.[11]

So why does the Hispanic-Cuban investigator in yesterday’s post say that the Critias does not mention the ocean?

Hispanic-Cuban Investigator believes Plato’s Critias did not place Atlantis in the Ocean

I have not read Plato’s Critias in which he refers to the lost city of Atlantis. However, according to Spanish-Cuban investigator Georgeos Doaz-Montexano, Plato did not specifically say that Atlantis was located in the ocean. The following excerpt is from Tartessus – Atlantis. They look for its rests in Andalusia. Unfortunately, the article has been very loosely translated from Spanish to English. Therefore, I would imagine that the word “rests” in the above article title has been incorrectly translated and actually means “reamins,” hence: Tartessus – Atlantis. They look for its remains in Andalusia. Here’s the quote:

an erroneous concept of which the Atlantis was beyond the Pillars of Hercules, in middle or center of the Atlantic Ocean, when Plato not even mentions the Greek word ?kean?s (the Ocean). Plato says of very clear way that the Atlantis was located in the Atlantic Pelagus (Atlantikou Pelagos) or Atlantic Sea-Arm, in the lobby of the gulf (Gulf of Cadiz), ahead, before – in greek: ‘pro tou stomatos’ – and almost in the mouth or well-known opening like the Pillars of Hercules.

Is it Atlantis or what?

Well, well, well. How do you like that! Dig deeper and you’ll find that the integrity of National Geographic Channel’s documentary, Finding Atlantis, is questionable. An online article Lost city of Atlantis ‘buried in Spanish wetlands’at Independent.ie says that:

The film’s claims were dismissed yesterday as having no reliable basis in scientific fact and of misinterpreting partial results of an investigation by a team of Spanish scientists. Since 2005, they have been working on the site at Donana, a national park and bird sanctuary.

Juan Villarias-Robles, an anthropologist with the Spanish government’s scientific research body, CSIC, said Prof Freund appeared to have sensationalised their work.

Mr Villarias-Robles was part of a team investigating ancient settlements in Donana, Europe’s largest wetlands area. He said his team planned to offer their own conclusions later this year.

Now THAT should be interesting–conclusions made by scientists rather than a professor with his own film company. Not that I think a professor shouldn’t have his own film company, but it’s interesting to discover that the Hartford-based professor is not supported by researchers who have been working at the supposed Atlantis site in the Spanish wetlands since 2005.

Three-inch “Atlantean orb” found in underwater pyramid

This unusual orb, called the Atlantean Orb, was found by Ray Brown in 1970 while scuba diving with friends in the Bahamas off the coast of Bimini. The photo below comes from an intriguing online article,
