With this study of Atlantis we will come to see that in ancient times its oral tradition was transmitted from initiate to initiate so that human knowledge is not lost. This would tend to prove, if need be, that the priests were custodians of knowledge and that they only imparted it to those who had proven their integrity. As we have said, we are going to embark on a quick journey to search for papyri dealing with Atlantis. In remote times, the peoples of the Mediterranean had kept alive the memory of a disaster that destroyed a great civilization.

 

The civilizations of the Mediterranean: Egypt

The ancient Egyptians, with their civilization, have left us some remarkable testimonies. We have discovered only a part of their spiritual wealth, and archaeologists will, in time, move the sand to uncover some fabulous stories. A 3000 year old papyrus of the Thirteenth Dynasty kept at the Hermitage in Leningrad says:

Once you leave the Island of the Serpent, you will find it no more, because this land will disappear in the waters of the sea… A star once fell from heaven and the flames consumed everything. All perished and only I survived. But when I saw the mountain of bodies piled up, I almost died of grief in my turn.

Here is an indication of the circumstances that caused the Flood: a star fell from heaven … We will return later to this aspect with the latest scientific findings on Atlantis that precisely demonstrate that about 10,000 years ago, an asteroid, fragment of a planet coursing through space, crashed on our planet causing severe damages. The epitaphs of Ramses III and Seti I give some interesting explanations on the Flood as viewed by the Egyptians. This happened, they say, when Re became old, He, the self created god… the king of men and gods. Men started making big palavers against him. His Majesty heard the palavers of men and said:

Look at men, they have hatched plans against me. Say what you will do about this: Re said “See, they flee in the desert” The gods said to his Majesty: “Send your eye and inflict a disaster upon the rebels. Do not leave your eye on your forehead. Let it descend in the form of Hathor…”

This text, called “The Heavenly Cow”, is very interesting and offers some surprising facts to the reader’s sagacity (we can put a photo online if the readers wish so). Note, however, that the ancient Egyptians, by culture, often garnered in one allegorical narrative historical events from different times that are linked by their symbolic meaning. Thus, with this text, we not only have a brief explanation of the fall of man, but also that of Atlantis. Indeed, in the tradition, the eye in question, and which becomes the goddess Hathor, conceals a great truth, that of the birth of life, which we can also call the GRAIL.

 

A blazing star

But for what concerns us here we have a very simple explanation of the destruction of the land: the eye that causes a disaster can be seen as a huge meteorite which, besides, is confirmed by the presence of the goddess Hathor. She was considered a sky-goddess bearing several epithets including “The Flaming One”, that is, She who devours with the force of fire. This brings us to the fabled aerolith with its mane of fire, a phenomenon that happens to any object that comes in contact with the atmosphere by the process of heating of the mass due to its high speed. The Leiden papyrus 1384 continues in the same direction and we can read:

Sekhmet took the beautiful appearance of a raging lioness. She launched her mane forward, her coat blazed, her spine was of the color of the blood, and her eyes cast flames and shone like the sun at midday… All around trembled before her might. Her tail raised the dust of the desert … At the breath from her nostrils, the trees withered in the woods … At the same time, the desert was covered with a veil, mountains veered to black, the sun darkened and one ceased seeing the sky.

The Leyden papyrus is very interesting because it gives us more details on the disaster. Indeed, the goddess Sekhmet was often associated with the goddess Hathor. We will not go into details over her “blazing coat”, “her nostrils and her breath”, etc… However, we insist on her flames glowing like “the sun at midday”.

We reach here Plato’s account, which said that “everything was submerged in a single dreadful night.” This is true with the Leyden Papyrus, since we see the flames of the “raging lioness that glowed like the sun at midday.” This point deserves to be emphasized because it allows us, by correlation, to draw some conclusions about the time the disaster took place. Papyri found on Egyptian mummies by Arab archaeologists also have some remarkable episodes:

In that time – say the texts of Saurid Salhuuk, son of the king of Egypt – he saw in a dream a huge planet that fell to earth in a terrible crash causing darkness. Decimated populations had nowhere to flee to avoid the falling stones and the foul hot water that accompanied the disaster.

We will return later to the consequences of the disaster by giving some precisions about the “foul hot water” and other similar phenomena. Let us now leave the Egyptian civilization. We could go further with the explanation of some historical facts, cite other texts, but this is not our goal here, as you know.

Some may ba surprised at how much Antiquity, with its manuscripts and stone tablets, spoke of Atlantis. In fact, the disaster was so extensive that it changed the behavior of the inhabitants of the planet. Most affected were the inhabitants of the Mediterranean basin, since some lands were flooded during the collapse of Atlantis.

 

To the country of Gilgamesh

Let us now head for Chaldea and Babylon … A number of ancient scholars were interested in the sunken continent. The writings of Srabon, Iamblichus, Plutarch, Homer, Livy, and Quinte Turce offer interesting thoughts on this. But in addition to those writings we have documents found in various parts of the world which, together, imbricate perfectly like the pieces of a puzzle. Suffice it for now to find these texts, these legends, from around the Mediterranean Basin.

The great cities of the past had always had a connection with the great conquerors who obtained their secret knowledge from this ancient civilization. According to Eupolemus (second century B.C.), the city of Babylon owes its origin to the men who escaped the Flood. The kings of Sumer were considered their descendants, sent by the gods to rehabilitate the human race. The first of these kings, Dungi, was the child of the goddess Ninsun. Berosus, the Chaldean priest, whom we previously mentioned, goes further in this direction by presenting the god Oannes and his companions emerging from the depths of the Persian Gulf to come teach humans after the Flood. Berosus said that he taught men all that helped to soften their manners and humanize their lives. These godly initiators can only be compared to the Atlanteans, fathers of the Western civilizations. The Epic of Gilgamesh, a 4000 year old epic song, is very interesting to note because it describes the effects of the disaster:

The day came when the rulers of darkness caused a horrible rain to fall. I looked at the time, it was appalling to consider… When morning came, clouds as dark as a raven rose up on the horizon. Any brightness turned into darkness. The storm howled in the south, the waters roared, and having already reached the mountain they poured upon the people … for six days and six nights the rain rumbled like a torrent, and on the seventh day the storm ceased. There was a silence like after a battle. The sea calmed. All that was left of men was mud…

 

In the epic, this song is put in the mouth Utnapishim, the Sumerian Noah, the great-grandfather of Gilgamesh. Otto Munk, a specialist on Atlantis, says about this song:
This story has long been ridiculed as a fable, a myth, or at best an essay about a small local disaster, until Leonard Wooley and his team, during excavations at Ur-Warka, in 1928, came across an undeniable vestige of what was believed to be a legendary tidal wave: a layer of alluvial mud, 2.50 m thick and 12m below ground level under the royal tombs of the early Sumerian period. This was indeed a proof that there was a great flood.

Chaldean traditions report interesting “legends”, so named by today’s rationalist minds who, besides, are realizing more and more the reality of these myths and legends, and one of these tallies quite well with the Bible. King Xisuthrus is warned by the god Chronos that the flood is impending. The Sovereign buries “the writings that tells of the beginning, the middle and end of all things” in Sisparis, the city of the sun; and he his court take refuge on a vessel that lands in Armenia like the arch, but on Mount Korkoura.

As we know, the Earth has experienced several floods and some more extensive than the one that sank Atlantis. Besides, according to the ancient texts, what we have seen and the latest discoveries in the Atlantic Ocean, it was not a deluge that destroyed Atlantis but the fall on this continent of a planetoid that would have caused a gigantic tidal wave accompanied by phenomena in series. Comparisons and quotes abound, giving the necessary pieces of information and similarities needed to demonstrate the existence of Atlantis.

Andrew Thomas, in his book “Atlantis, From Legends to Discovery”, presents a curious tradition that existed amongst the ancients. It was “Lucinius” who, eighteen centuries ago, reported a very curious anecdote that illustrates the survival in the ancient world of the memory of the Flood. The priests of Baalbeck (now in Lebanon) used to pour seawater, drawn from the Mediterranean, into the crevice of a rock close to the Temple in order to perpetuate the memory of the waters of the Flood that engulfed it. Also, the ceremony was to commemorate the salvation of Deucalion. To procure this water, the priests had to march for four days to the shores of the sea and all the way back to Baalbeck.

To conclude on the Mediterranean civilizations, before returning to a more distant past, we could not ignore, besides the texts of Plato, what is said in Greek mythology about Atlantis. This is what we will consider in the next section.

This article, initially translated a few years ago, is being reviewed and corrected. An improved translation will soon be available. We thank you for your understanding.

 

If Atlantis is a mysterious continent which flares up, Lemuria or Mu’s continent – less famous indeed – is not an enigma for historians and researchers. Myth for ones, or tale for others, this faraway continent located hypothetically in the middle of Pacific Ocean won’t stop exciting the curiosity of investigators in their quest of mystery. However, if we can link scattered elements about Atlantis, Lemuria keeps silence about her origin, so well that fed up with taking wrong ways and with the lack of scientist elements, most of them preferred to put back Mu’s Continent in the books of imaginative worlds. But can we be satisfied with that hypothesis ?

 

Of course, the lack of information and leads cannot help an edification for a serious theory. Is that enough to get rid of everything ? This continent has been exhumed from silence after millenniums. Furthermore, the zoologist Philipp Sclater tried to explain the repartition of some mammals, included lemurs, in different geographical areas. He created the word « Lemuria » in order to locate some continent in Indian Ocean, which could have been existed faraway ago. Later, the German naturalist, Ernst Haeckel (about 1900) resumed this hypothesis. Since there, scientist have rejected that idea relying on the Wegener’s continental drift theory.

Above science and relying on The secret doctrine, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky will be the one to be at the origin of the keen interest for the lost continent, because she put important keys in her magnum opus in 1888. Later, Rudolf Steiner, basing on H.P.B’s writings, gave some visionary elements on that file reopened from then on. Scott Elliot, about 1930, gave his contribution to the lemurian saga too, but the controversial books of James Churchward in 1926 gave life again to critics by the presentation of the Naacals’ Tablets. Finally, Louis Claude Vincent, in 1970, resumed Chruchward’s works by giving a perspective more buttress and well-founded, but too close from his predecessor’s work.

To the light of Tradition

What does secret Tradition says about Mu ? The Mahatmas from the Great White Brotherhood assert that Mu’s continent has existed far before Atlantis, several millenniums years ago. These words can look extravagant to the eyes of Science today, but we could considerate this subject with other parameters which haven’t had any attention about evolution itself (see : Thot-Hermès, origines secrètes de l‘humanité by Guillaume Delaage, Moryason Editions).

According to this antic Tradition, the advent of the Giant’s race, which took place on the Mu’s continent, inside a formidable society of Divine Kings, gave birth later to Atlantis. We can say that the subject about the separation of sexes mentioned in the Genesis, occurred at that moment of human history. These various aspects won’t be developed here because it would be beyond the subject of that article. However, Mahatmas have described very precisely the location of Lemuria, beyond the simple Pacific Ocean, because H.P.Blavatsky says in her Secret Doctrine :

« the whole area of space from the foot of the Himalayas, which separated it from the inland sea rolling its waves over what is now Tibet, Mongolia, and the great desert of Schamo (Gobi); from Chittagong, westward to Hardwar, and eastward to Assam. From thence, it stretched South across what is known to us as Southern India, Ceylon, and Sumatra; then embracing on its way, as we go South, Madagascar on its right hand and Australia and Tasmania on its left, it ran down to within a few degrees of the Antarctic Circle; when, from Australia, an inland region on the Mother Continent in those ages, it extended far into the Pacific Ocean, not only beyond Rapa-nui (Teapy, or Easter Island) which now lies in latitude 26 S., and longitude 110 W. »

Then we can see the continent we are seeking is not limited to the location of the austral territory as contemporary authors like to demonstrate, but was extended even up to Madagascar. Several exegetes have sometimes confused through the myths and legends of peoples, the relatives facts to Atlantis and Lemuria. That’s why the famous manuscript Troano, describing the collapse in one night of a continent which provided a home for 64 millions souls, is more about the Atlantean disaster.

About Mu, there’s almost nothing that subsist today, except the extraordinary relics as the Easter Island’s Big Ear, rising from a Lemurian earth previously collapsed and which emerged back to a recent period. The rest of the construction that we can find today in some islands of the Pacific, take apart the relics of a civilization which existed far after the collapse of Lemuria but come from directly from its tradition.

 

Seeking Lemuria with the eye of science

What about the lemurian saga today ? In fact, only a few researchers resumed that quest and it looks like Lemuria keeps its secret deeply in the Pacific’s abysses. However, recently, a Japanese oceanographic team, drove by the scientist Masaaki Kimura, took the lost continent quest. From the geologic movements and the activities of the ocean bottom, this geologist tried to demonstrate that near Okinawa, there was a collapsed continent which have really existed.

In fact, in the Jiriokiu islands, we can find what we called Okinawa’s stones of Rosetta. They are tablets of stone graved with strange signs. They look like in a very strange way to the ones discovered in India by Churchward and we can see surprisingly notice that lots of old women from that region wear the same signs as tattoos on their body as we have find on the tablets of stone.

The submarines exploration, effectuated thanks to a submersible radio-controlled to more than 1800 meters of depth, permitted to Kimura to explore the Tokara’s fracture of volcano’s origin, which could establish what Tradition relates about the continent’s collapse, because of the strong volcano eruptions which were the causes of its destruction. The sampling effectuated by the teams of researches occurred to be Riukyu’s limestone, in other words, a limestone that we find generally on the surface. If that material exists in that depth, that mean for Kimura the rocky plate from the bottom of the ocean existed at the surface a long time ago. He discovered also, in great depth, some fragment of mammals bones which prove their existence at the surface several thousand years ago. On his opinion, Kyrioku’s islands are the rests of Mu’s continent, and Yonaguni’s island could contain hidden a part of Lemuria’s relics, if we judge by the gigantic discoveries made by divers, as a formidable pyramid and a colossal human head.

Other structures have been located in the perimeter, to a distant of 500 kilometres between Yonaguni and Okinawa. We can find paved roads and crossroads. Near Taiwan, there’s also the ruins of Penghu’s Island, by 30m of depth, which shows it is about human construction. In numerous islands of Pacific, we find very ancient relics of that fantastic civilization which have existed a long time ago. Here’s a non-exhaustive list :

Palau’s ruin (Micronesia)
Nan-madol’s ruins in Ponape
Tongatapu Island in the Tonga Island (Polynesia)

Societies’ Island (Polynesia)
Pins’ Island’s Tumuli (Melanesia)
Pitcairn’s Island
The ruins of Lelu’s island (Micronesia)
Malden island (Polynesia)
Rapa Iti (Polynesia)
The Columns of Marianne’s’ islands (Micronesia)
Kerama’s labyrinths in Japan (Micronesia)

Theses recent discoveries join the millenary Tradition which related the existence of formidable civilizations that reached a very high level of evolution, millions years ago. Theses assertions could make smile some scientists stuck with their academism, but however, what will be about our world, if tomorrow, a cataclysm would come to collapse or destroy our continents ?

Earth would restructure itself its environment and humanity should start again everything from the beginning. That’s what some ancient documents put to our thought. Frescos as the one of Magourata’s cave in Bulgaria (25000 to 12000 years before our era) let us a message graved in stone presenting people collapsing in colossal waves. Is this about the last days of Atlantis saw but the survivors or maybe from a past more faraway ?

The lemurian earth is buried under tons of lava to thousand meters of depth under Pacific Ocean. Only « luck » could permit to us one day to discover some constructions or relics that escaped from erosion and flames. His secret is no more able to be find. The ones who could discover the relics of this continent belong to a faraway future, when Earth, in its geological evolution, will restructure its continents. Then perhaps the last lines of Mu’s continent’s life will show up. Until there, the stubbornness of some researchers could have in stock some surprises.
