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.

Today I enjoyed putting together a summary of a speaking event I’ve given before called, “Atlantis and its Colonies in Egypt and Yucatan,” except, in the past, I only included Egypt. I am happy to be including Yucatan since I’ve traveled to Yucatan four times to videotape footage for my travelogue: Yucatan Travel: Cancun to Chichen Itza. I will be giving the Atlantis and its Colonies in Egypt and Yucatan day-long seminar on Saturday, April 21st, 2012, in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada. More details to follow.

Today I saw the movie Julie and Julia about Julia Child and a young woman named Julie Powell who wrote a blog about cooking the over 500 recipes in Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking. In the movie, Julie Powell wonders if anyone is reading her blog. Then, she begins to receive comments.
I like it when I receive comments on this blog. When I look up the statistics for this blog, there have been up 79,000 hits per month here. So, I know someone is reading the blog. I would enjoy hearing from more readers. But are people who are interested in the lost city of Atlantis chatty?
Continue readingAtlantis was a Maritime Civilization all over the world
A YouTube video entitled The Lost Continent of Atlantis includes an interview with Graham Hancock of Fingerprints of the Gods fame. In the video, Hancock says that he believe Atlantis was a Maritime civilization that settled along many of the coastlines of the world. At the end of the Ice Age around 12,500 B.C., when the ice melted, these coastal settlements became submerged. In Hancock’s opinion, therefore, Atlantean ruins will be found underwater all over the world. He sites both Mediterrean and eastern Atlantic Ocean ruins as examples of likely Atlantean sites.

According to the Wikipedia article entitled, “Location Hypotheses of Atlantis,” Jaime Manuschevich believes that Atlantis was located in the territory that “today corresponds to Israel and Sinai.”
The article goes on to say that:
Continue readingAtlantean civilization corresponds to the Natufian peoples, the first food-producing people, whose main political and harbor center was Jericho. These people lived in the region in the dates established by Plato (11,600 BC).
Was Atlantis in the Mediterranean Sea?
From my point of view, it does not make sense that Atlantis would have been in the Mediterranean Sea since Atlantis is almost the same word as Atlantic. Therefore, I would expect it to be in the Atlantic Ocean.
Atlantis is not called, “Mediterranea.”
However, I see that a very informative Wikipedia article called, “Location Hypotheses of Atlantis,” lists about 12 locations in the Mediterranean from Andalusia to Troy.
Fifth Root Race Topic in Nanaimo

Atlantis covered with rising seas rather than going down due to earthquakes
In his book Atlantis: The Lost Continent Finally Found author Professor Arysio Santos points out that in 11,600 B.C., around the time Plato said Atlantis existed, and at the end of the last ice age, the sea level was 500 feet lower than it is today. That is because much more of the water on earth was bound up in ice than it is now. Professor Santos concludes that Atlantis had to be in present-day Indonesia in the South China Sea since there is submerged land there that would have been above sea level at the end of the last ice age.
