Atlantis

Ignatius Donelly: The "New Testament" of Atlantis

When we analyze the esoteric legend about Atlantis as a whole, we find that a great deal in it smacks of an acquaintanceship with I. Donnelly's book "Atlantis, the Antediluvian World" (1882), which was published some fifteen years before Scott-Elliot's work. Much has simply been borrowed not only from that book but also from Bulwer-Lytton's (1803-1875) Utopian novels.

Ignatius Donnelly: American Congressman, lawyer, populist writer, and scientist — Ignatius Donnelly, American Congressman,
lawyer, populist writer, and fringe scientist

Ο Ignatius Donnelly with his writing work is considered the pioneer of Atlantean thought and "father" of all occult Atlantologists of the last three centuries. He added many baroque elements to the whole spectrum of Plato's Atlantis. It rightly became the New Testament of Atlantism, as long as we definitely consider Plato to be the Old Testament.

Now Atlantis becomes the source of civilization for the whole world, forming colonies everywhere. The gods of the ancient peoples arose from the Atlantean kings and heroes, the language of the Atlanteans gave birth to the rest of the languages. It was the cradle of the Aryan and Indo-European race, while its main colony was Egypt. THE MYTHOLOGY OF EGYPT and PERU REPRESENT the original religion-faith of the Atlanteans which was sun-worshipping. Atlantis was the first nation in which humans developed from the stage of barbarism to civilization.

Donnelly agrees with its location in the Atlantic opposite the mouth of Gibraltar as Plato said. But, by giving completely new characteristics to the Atlantis of Plato and other ancient authors, he completely escapes from them and creates the modern myth.

In his work there are collected testimonies from all fields of science that confirm the existence of a sunken continent in the exact place that Plato placed it: in the Atlantic Ocean.
For example, in works of botany and zoology, concerning the distribution of plants and animals on the planet, it is stated that this cannot be explained by the present arrangement of the continents, and the hypothesis is expressed that some land zone must have existed in the place of the Atlantic Ocean.

But the most important arguments Donnelly found in the existence of great similarities between cultures that are too distant from each other geographically and chronologically and which similarities cannot be explained as mere coincidence. The Flood myths of, for example, the peoples of the Far East, the American Indians, and the ancient civilizations of the Middle East show similarities that cannot be considered coincidental. The only possible interpretation is that they had a common source, the lost continent of Atlantis from which the myth of the flood sprang and spread to the world through the survivors of the disaster.
He claims that Noah's Great Flood described in the Hebrew Bible was the same flood that sank Atlantis (described in Plato's Critias and Timaeus dialogues), because they agree on many important details with each other.

Such similarities are everywhere in legends, traditions, symbols, architectural structures - such as the pyramids of Egypt and Teotihuacan in Mexico, even in language. The Chinese word for brick for example was ku and the Chaldean was ke. For the word fabric, both used the word chic.

Discovering that variants of a single language are found from Iceland to Ceylon, Donnelly writes:

"There is ample evidence that could fill whole pages that there was a still more ancient mother tongue...the language of Noah, the language of Atlantis, the language of the great empire mentioned by Plato".

The world has made such comet-like advance
Lately on science, we may almost hope,
Before we die of sheer decay, to learn
Something about our infancy; when lived
That great, original, broad-eyed, sunken race,
Whose knowledge, like the sea-sustaining rocks,
Hath formed the base of this world’s fluctuous lore.

The descriptions of the ancients over the position and extent of Atlantis, triggered off many Atlantologists writers and researchers, geographers, cartographers, navigators etc. to draw maps for Atlantis naming them “ATLAS” or “ATLANTES”. The various shapes of these maps are divided into three groups.

The first one and prevailing, until now, presents an oblong shape from East to West, as it is more or less described by Plato.

The second group presents circular-quadrangular, star-like and trapezoid shapes that appear huge in the center of the Atlantic Ocean.

The third group follows the shape of the underwater mountain chain of today, that it looks like a mermaid. It is as if having a tail that narrows to the South.

Map by Ahanasious Kircher, around 1669 A.D.

Representative map of the second group by Athanasius Kircher, a Jesuit scholar, researcher and polymath from German and Normandy. The map is contained in his work on geography "Mundus Subterraneus that first appeared in Amsterdam in 1669 AD. Kircher places Atlantis in the middle of the Atlantic, between Spain and America. We see on this map that, for unexplainable reasons, the North is noted downwards.

Museum of Atlantis, 1983", also in the magazine "Atlantis, issue 1, p. 18, June 1989". As it appears on this map, the area of Atlantis touched on the sides of the northern mid-Atlantic ridge but also on the broadest part of it that creates a plateau, forming the sign of a cross with the ridge. The eastern side of Atlantis was in front of Gibraltar and at a distance equal to that between Crete and Malta.

The western side and the central part of its expanse were in the Sargasso Sea.

Its western side was drenched by the great stream of bay formed between North and South America, in front of the Panama Canal.

According to Greek and Roman mythology, there were other islands between the main island of Atlantis and Europe or the Panama Canal.

Such mythical islands could be: Gorgonia, Tritonida, Amazonia, Erythia, Calypso, Gadeirus, Kirki, the seven islands of the Pleiades (or the Hesperides, the seven daughters of the Atlas), the the island of Hyperboreans and many smaller islands.

Theodoros Paschos used the A / M map of Vas. Paschos ( of 1979) to convert it to a color digital format and place the area of the Atlantis island on a satellite map of Google Earth at specific coordinates, taking into account the geological, topographical and bathymetric data around the Mid-Atlantic submarine. On this map it appears that Atlantis spreads at latitude (from S. to N.) approximately between N29⁰ and N43⁰ and at a longitude (from E. to W.) between W20⁰ and W50⁰.

Some geographic lands that cover this area are the Azores plateau on the mountain range and, furthermore, all the remaining volcanic islands of the Azores archipelago. It is the only location in the North Atlantic that can cover the magnitude of Plato's Atlantis area, and it has also been geologically proven that this part of the mountain was formerly above the sea level.

Various theories on Atlantis's Geographic location

Nowadays, many researchers of Plato place Atlantis in the Aegean Sea and particularly in Santorini (Agelos Galanopoulos¹) or in Crete (J.V.LUCE ²).

Frost K. was the first who reported that Atlantis, which was destroyed during the Bronze Age (1500 BC) by a cataclysm, must have been the Minoan Crete.

This cataclysm has been caused by the eruption of the volcano in Thera (the first explosion is dated back to 23000 BC)

In 1939, the archaeologist Spiridon Marinatos (born 1901 and died 1974), relates equally Atlantis with Minoan Crete supporting the belief that it has been destroyed in 1456 BC by the eruption of the volcano Thera in Santorini. He did extensive archaeological research at Akrotiri of Thira and Aspronisi from 1967 to 1974.

In 1955-76, Jacques Yves Cousteau researched the territory south of Thera and north of Crete. According to his statements in November 1976, he excluded the existence of Atlantis in this area³. However, he discovered in the little island Zeus some sunken squarish and rectangular rocks constituting an artificial breakwater, that were named Cyclopean walls. At the beginning, researchers believed it was an artificial harbor, a navy yard for Minos, the king of Crete, but it was much later when they realized their ancient age. They look alike with the Cyclopean walls found in 1969, in the Bimini islands near Bahamas in the Atlantic Ocean. The belief for these walls was that they were the remains of the lost Atlantis and this caused a confusion to the researchers.

In the late 1960s, the Greek archaeologist Professor Angelos Galanopoulos proposed the astonishing theory that Atlantis was Santorini, north of Crete. The island was blown up around 1500 BC. from a terrifying volcanic eruption, which probably destroyed most of the Greek islands and the coastal plains of Greece and Crete.
But how could the small island of Santorini be Plato's vast continent, with its 400 km plain? Galanopoulos suggests that the scribe simply multiplied the numbers by ten and that this also applies to the dates: Plato's 9,000 years should actually be 900 (ie around 1300 BCE). In any case, says Galanopoulos, a channel one hundred meters wide and thirty meters deep is absurd. Ten meters wide and three meters deep seem like more reasonable numbers.
The main objection to Galanopoulos' theory is that Plato clearly states that Atlantis is beyond the Heraklion Pillars, i.e. Gibraltar. Galanopoulos counters that, since Hercules performed most of his labors in Greece, the Heraklian Stelae may refer to the sea passage between the two southernmost capes of Greece (Tainaros and Maleas).
But Plato also says that the Atlanteans had reached Egypt and the Tyrrhenian Sea and these were certainly not Greek capes. Despite the objections, the tourist authorities of Santorini made great use of Galanopoulos' theory with advertisements that trumpeted that the island was the original Atlantis.

Was there? Where was it? The atlantis's museum view

The Atlanteans or Titans are obviously existed. Sources from the ancient ages confirm that there was a nation called Titans-Atlantes (or Atlanteans). This nation spread its traces in many places of the earth. Its memory remained in various legends, beliefs,worships and traditions. few of the ancient writers disputed the existence of various prehistoric races called Titans and Atlanteans..

Many later and modern writers and researches also admit the existence of the Atlanteans. However, they disagree about the place where this "strange" nation lived.

The question of where the Atlantes lived has been put since ancient years. Many theories have been developed. Most people's opinion is that they were established in a big island in the Atlantic Ocean. This is also the opinion of the museum of Atlantis as it analitically described below.

The opinion of the Museum of Atlantis

Evaluating the information that has been collected about the Atlantes, depriving its mythological coverings and interpreting it without reflective illusions we accept that:

Atlantis existed in the Atlantic Ocean and it was the dominating organised power from the 10th to the 7th millenium B.C.

This opinion is also accepted by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato in his books "Timaeus" and "Critias"(or Atlantic speach) which was written in 350 B.C. Plato's descriptions in his books mentioned above contain shocking documents:

In "Timaeus" Plato mentions that in front of the mouth which is called Hercules's columns (note: the channel of Gibraltar as it is known in our days) there was a big island with great power which was called Atlantida. Its size was so big that it could be considered as a continent. Plato (427-347 B.C.) describes Atlantida as long and narrow from east to west. As he writes, it could be crossed on foot in 18 days and nights. Afterwards, by sailing from some other islands one could reach the continent which was situated opposite. He means America. Of course Plato wasn't aware of Atlantis. Critias had given him the information for the descriptions in his books. Critias with his turn had obtained those notes from his great grandfather, who had also obtained them by Solon.

Solon (639-559 B.C.) had been to Egypt, where the priests of Sais revealed him the ancient secrets which were written on stones in hieroglyphic symbols. The priests of Sais, ancient religious capital of Egypt, told Solon that the Aegean islands and Crete were conquered by Atlantes, who had come from the west, from the big ocean.

As it was written on the stones, the powerful nation of the Atlants had conquered almost all the coastal areas of the Mediterrane countries from Noarth to South reaching up to the Persian gult. The Atlantes weren't able to conquer Attiki because their troaps had been defeated by the Athenians...

All these are also revealed by the ancient historian Plutarch in "Solon's life". In his work "Lives Parallel" and in his study "about Isis and Osiris", Plutarch gives us enough information about Atlantis and even uses the word "history" when referring to it. Also, in many parts of his works, he refers to various beliefs of the ancients which "as tradition and writings say, they start from the lost Atlantis".

Proclus also confirms that he shaw those stones when he travelled to Egypt and visited the temple of Niith (Athena in Greek). He also adds in his book "Memorandum in the Platonic work":

"During the very old times there was a huge island in the Atlantic Ocean". It was an extremely civilized and powerful nation. It conquered a large part of Africa up to Egypt and Europe up to Tyrrhenia..."
Proclus claims that the priests of Neith showed him very ancient columns with hieroglyphic inscriptions and told him that they were accounts of Atlantis. They confirmed to him that during the last theocracy, when Atlantis was sunk, Attica and other regions of Greece were shaken by earthquakes. Some beaches were flooded by the sea and became disasters.

"It was much bigger than Libyan and Asia together" assures Crantor (commentaries in "Timaeus").

The Atlantes governed many islands around their continent in the Atlantic Ocean writes Diodoros Sikeliotis in his work "Historic Bookcase" and they ruled over Mediterranian countries. And he also adds, apart from Plato these are confirmed by Homer, Hesiod, Herodotus, Aeschylus, Philon, Aristarchus, Crates and Apollodorus.

Posidonius, Kikeron's teacher, writes: "There were legends that beyond the Hercules Stones there was a huge area which was called "Poseidonis" or "Atlanta"".

Geographer Markellos in his "Collection of travellers' narrations" speaks about seven islands of the Atlantic ocean one of which was Neptune's sacred place.

Stravon in his "Geographics" accepts that "...the island of Atlantis in the far west places..." was reality.

The names Atlas - Antiatlas (mountains of Marocco) ,Atitlan (Guatemala), Tlakopan, Tenochitlan, Mitla, Etla (Mexico) etc, are all derivatives of A-tla.

The tribes of the Aztlans, Nahouatlakatlis ancestors of Aztecs, Toltecs and Magias and their Gods Kouedjalkoatl (flying), Mixkoatl and Tlaloc and their traditional giants Atlan and Teitani (Titan) known from the very ancient times by the Mediterranian place.

The traditions of the countries in Central America and the north-west Africa for sinking of a large Atlantic island

But in addition to the testimonies of ancient writers, the traditions and mythology of ancient peoples, the fact that Atlantis existed in the Atlantic Ocean is also confirmed by significant geological evidence on the shores and at the bottom of the Atlantic and in various findings discovered after excavations and research.

Prof. R. Freund: It is buried in the Donana's Marshes in southern Spain

New research is emerging that provides strong evidence that Atlantis is buried beneath the large marsh of Coto de Donana Park in southern Spain, a vast swampy area south of Seville and north of the Spanish port of Cadiz (Gadeira or Gadara in ancient Greek language).

Μan international team of Spanish, Canadian and American scientists, led by American archaeologist Richard Freund of Hartford University in Connecticut, began research in 2009 to study the wetland. This was first observed as a possible location for Atlantis by a German scientist looking at various satellite images in 2003. Freud's team's research and findings were presented in a special show (film) entitled "Finding Atlantis" on the National Geographic channel , on Sunday 13/3/2011.

Aerial photograph of geometric formations into the subsoil

The case began in 2003 with the German scientist reporting that what he saw in satellite images of the subsoil of the "Coto de Donana" national park area looked like a circular structure with a straight line connected to it.

Over the next few years, others thought that the visible structures in the satellite images were similar to the island of three concentric circles with a single entrance in and out as described by Plato in his account of Atlantis, written around 360 BC. Plato also placed Atlantis near the "Pillars of Hercules", known today as the Straits of Gibraltar, which connect the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea.

Presented in the National Geographic film, Professor Freund explained how his team worked to discover the lost civilization at the bottom of the Donana Park marsh, using deep-ground radar, digital photography, satellite imagery of submarines and underwater equipment for diving and scanning the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean around the area.

"I think we found the best candidate for what the beginnings of civilization were .... one of the largest and most ancient cities at the bottom of a huge marsh," Freud said, claiming that it was Atlantis described by Plato in 360 BC. It is buried in the Donana National Park north of Cadiz, and it is a given that this area was once in an open bay that was destroyed and filled with mud by a giant tsunami. "This is the power of the tsunami," he said. "Although it is so hard to understand that this wave can wipe out to 60 miles inland. That's pretty much what we are taliking about."

Regarding the difficulties and challenges encountered in researching this area, Freund said: "I have become an expert in places that have become silted in. But it was very difficult to make any excavation inside the swampy national park. The ground is constantly covered with water and mud for 11 months a year. Even in August and September the water table was very high."

Freund and his team transported their equipment to the area during the driest months of the year, August and September, in 2009. "By shooting electricity into the ground we can distinguish between different types of material. This type of technology can map the whole subsurface instead of digging .... It's a form of non-invasive archeology." "We have mapped the subsurface. It is like an MRI for the ground," he added.

The images obtained from the electrical imaging of the ground show interruptions in the subsurface densities compatible with the circular patterns that are visible from above. What the team found in the electrical mapping of the subsoil was a pattern that was repeated at regular intervals, something that does not occur naturally. While satellite images identified structures that appeared to be buried in swamps.

In addition to advanced scientific mapping, core samples were collected from 13.5 meters deep, into the silt and wood chips, which were given for testing. Carbon dating of the material nuclei was also confirmed, which confirmed that there was human activity in this area about 4400 years before our days.

However, finding the core samples, the team inadvertently found something interesting. A mysterious layer of methane that may mean flora-fauna.

In addition, colleagues on Freund's team found two figurines on the first and second days of their trip which symbolize some "Goddesses" of the old times. "Are they images of Astarte, Istar or a widely known Phoenician deity," Freud wonders?

"What if Atlantis was located in Spain and the origin of civilization didn't happen in the Middle East but happened in Spain?" Freund said he asked himself. "I think that the Atlanteans are the parents of the Phoenicians."

The documentary "travelled" to Turkey as well as to Crete and Santorini before ending up in southern Spain, beyond Gibraltar. Here we have an image from underwater research that shows us submarine formations made by human hands, dating to the Bronze Age. Specifically, ruins of square rocks were found at the bottom of the sea (near the area that used to be a port)

R. Freud at the end summarized the evidence so far that emerged from the research in the area of the swamp:

Core sampling shows that there was a large port that continued to the center of the swamps
The found objects are dated (by the carbon-14 method) between 2000 and 5000 BC.
Electrical resistance tomography shows walls below the surface.
There is a mysterious layer of methane trapped 6-9 meters below the surface, which goes five meters deep. We know that this gas comes from organic matter. If a city were suddenly worshiped there, all the organic material associated with that culture would be trapped. After centuries its decomposition would produce gas.

Ancient cities-monuments in the Spanish hinterland for the rescued Atlanteans

symbol engraved on a stone at the entrance of Kancho-Roano

Freund thought that the surviving atlanteans would have gone to other areas where they would have built smaller cities, like miniatures, in memory of their ruined homeland. To confirm this theory, he searched with a Spanish scientist in the surrounding area for archeological sites surrounded by several concentric moats, and eventually traveled to a museum containing many examples of "standing stones" engraved with a symbol resembling Plato's drawings of Atlantis.

"There are more than 100 of them, and they come from all different places in the area," Freund said. The similarity of the stones convinced Freund that the surviving Atlanteans had built tributes to their destroyed city throughout Spain.
"In crime, you follow the money," he said. "In archaeology, you follow the stones."

In addition to the above standing stones, the researchers' theory is strengthened by the discovery, in Central Spain, of a strange series of traces of other small cities, built according to the model of Atlantis, ie "memorial cities" that are considered to have been built by refugees from Atlantis, further north and deeper inside the country, in remembrance of their ruined homeland

One of these discoveries, made during archeological excavations in the 1970s and 1980s, is the ruins of Kancho Roana, which are the remains of a small monumental town inside the Donαna Park, 200 km from the port. There, in the Guadalquivir River Delta, scientists showed us the remains of a city built in steps, with many temples, few settlements and houses, and a deep round moat that surrounded the city. According to Freud, it was a "sacred city", a miniature of Atlantis.

The most fascinating point of the documentary is when the camera shows the most interesting find that has to do with Atlantis: On a stone, at the main entrance of Kancho Roano (there is also in many other cities) is engraved a symbolic representation. It is a relief secret symbol. The figure of a warrior is formed with a drawn sword that "guards" the entrance of the city, which is represented by concentric circles. The sign shows the concentric circles with a single input which is also an output. Its resemblance to Plato's description of the shape of Atlantis (three land rings and two water rings with an entrance-exit to the South, and in the middle the citadel with the palace of Poseidon) is obvious.

Freud and his team try, with their research, to solve two ancient mysteries. One platonic and one biblical. The biblical refers to the lost city "Tharseis" which is mentioned many times in the Bible. Many experts believe that "Tharseis" is another name for the ancient famous city "Tartissos". Most experts agree that "Tartissos" was in southern Spain, as well as the city "Tharseis". According to Freud, "Tartissos" and "Tharseis" were one and the same. Ancient sources mention both cities as exploiting their metals. Merchant ships from the Middle East traveled for three years to obtain supplies from these cities. Surprisingly, both names disappeared from historical and biblical references. As if the city ceased to exist. This happened, according to Freud, because in antiquity "Tartissos-Tharseis" was known by another name, Atlantis. So Tharseis = Tartissos = Atlantis. All three cities are listed as important ports located on an island at the edge of the then known world where ships come from the great seas, it took 3 years to complete this voyage and as mysteriously disappeared. But their striking similarities continue. They were famous for their wealth in ores, mining huge quantities of gold, silver and copper. Even today, just above Donana, the three metals have been mined for 5,000 years on the shady hills of Rio Tinto. They are the famous mines of Rio Tinto.

	Various strange discoveries

A volcanic undersea rock which was formed in land!

In 1898, during the installation of a telegraphic line, broke one of the wires which had been installed in 2800 m depth at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in the place which has been named since then "Telegraph square". While special machinery was trying to remove the edges of the wire from the bottom of the sea a strange rock was brought to the surface. Several years later, Paul Tremie, head of the oceonographical institude of France, organised a conference in Paris. That rock had obviously volcanic origin and the most importand was that it hadn' t been solidified in the bottom of the sea but in the air. That is, it must have come of a volcano whose crater was above sea level. It ,also, had sharp sides which were not been corrosive by water. By analyzing it, Tremie estimated that it must have been 15000 years old. Later undersea foundings confirmed that the same type of rocks existed in a huge area at the depth of the Atlantic Ocean.

Sunk megaliths in archipelagos
in Bahamas

In May 1969, in Bahamas and specifically in the coasts of the islands Bimini and Andros, the archaeologist Mansen Valentain and the researcher of the bottom of the sea Dimitri Rebikof localized architectural building in depth of 6 m until 30. It was a row of huge rocks perfectly cut which continued on the sandy bottom for several hundreds metres. Two parallel walls surpass in length the 600 m. The weight of only one stone length of 5 m, of a building, is about 25 tones!... Remains of some wall of Poseidonia, the capital of Atlantis or maybe for a satse the festive road of Mayia? The scientists of the university of Maiami who examined these buildings drew the conclusion that they were made between 10000-7000 B.C. which means that they are older than the Mayia' s pyramids.

The carved in slab pilot in Palenque, Mexico

In the area of the ancient state of Palenque of the Maya was found in 1935 a slab on which a very strange carved representation is distinguished very clearly. It is a pilot of a flying ship while he is working in the inside (cabin). Various organs and equipment, levers, helms, pistons, springs pipes, conductors and cylinders are distinguised. This is the amazing gravestone of "the temple of the signs" of Palenque, Mexico. This gravestone 3,8 by 2,20 m covered a one-piece stony sarcophagus which contains human skeleton.

Gerardo Imbo, by interpreting the carved stone of Palenque, admits that "there were ancient civilizations with technological scientific development, even with flights of airships."

A crystal cranium by quartz with movable jaw!

1927, Beginning of the summer:

In the area of the British Hondura, somewhere in the jungle an archaeological team is working feverishly. Suddenly a peculiar shine comes out of the ruins of the ancient city of Mayia. Frederic Michel Henzes who is the leader of the excavation discovers one of the strangest objects that have ever found: a crystal cranium made of mineral. Later when he reveals his founding in public the scientific community remains stunned. The founding impressed the archaeologists, deeply. But it impressed even more the scientists because that strange cranium was so perfect that it couldn't have been made by any modern method, not even by laser.

Its peculiarity is in the way it has been constructed and the material. It's made of only one clear transparent crystal quartz. The hollow of the eyes, the apses of the sides of the face, the below jaw which is movable, are perfectly made...but without the slightest scratch or spot. This means that no metall tools were used for its elaboration. The experts who examined it with the most up to date methods raised their hands. For many people this crystal cranium which nowadays is in Human's Museum in Paris, is an object which comes from an exceptionally high civilization who obtained a much broader knowledge than ours.

"I have no doubts that the crystal cranium was made during the Atlantis's time" stated Frank Dorland, conservation of artworks, who dedicated more than ten years in his study.

In a mountain of Perou in Piscos Bay a very ancient trident (Atlantes's symbol) is displayed which is made of white stones with phosphoric brightness "stabbed" in the slope. It has 250 m length and sides of 3,8 m width. This trident leads to a marked airport shaped flat space in Nasca plain which is located 160 km from Pisco. Wide airstrips and radiated corridors are discerned which stand out because they shine. They are formed by rack fragments. When you see this space from above it gives you the impression of an airport with geometrical lines and signs like in the modern airfields.
