Ancient civilizations: Atlanteans, Lemurians, giant people. Legacy of past civilizations. Atlantis
5 222
Guardians of the cultural heritage of lost civilizations will open a secret repository in Egypt and show the existence of highly advanced science and technology in the distant past. On their television screens, earthlings will see the stunning successes of a civilization that existed many millennia before us. The conclusion from this discovery will be: “You can bring the same destruction as these ancient peoples.” The inscription on the pyramids reads: “People will die from ignorance of the true world or from the inability to use the forces of nature.”
“Unfortunately, the present time completely corresponds to the last time of Atlantis,” says the book “Hierarchy” from the “Living Ethics” series, “the same false prophets, the same false savior, the same wars, the same betrayals and spiritual savagery. We are proud of the crumbs of civilization, just as the Atlanteans knew how to fly over the planet in order to quickly deceive each other, temples were also desecrated, and science became the subject of speculation and discord. The same thing happened in construction, as if they did not dare to build firmly. They also rebelled against the Hierarchy (Light) and were suffocated by their own egoism. They also upset the balance of underground forces and through mutual efforts created a catastrophe.”
How did humanity get to this point?
Our ancestors - the Aryans - received their knowledge from the Atlanteans. E.I. Roerich wrote in letters to her students: “Arya-varta means “country of the Aryans.” This is the ancient name of northern India, where the first immigrants from Central Asia came and settled after the destruction of Atlantis.”
E.P. Blavatsky writes that “the civilization of the Atlanteans was much higher than the civilization of the Egyptians.” And their “degenerate descendants” - the people of Plato’s Atlantis - “built the first pyramids in this country even before the arrival of the “Eastern Ethiopians,” as Herodotus calls the Egyptians.”
Atlantologists often mention the Great Atlantean Crystal. What kind of Crystal is this? Edgar Cayce reports that the Atlanteans discovered the secret of concentrating solar energy using a crystal with magnetic properties. The large stone was a cylindrical crystal with many facets. Its top captured solar energy and concentrated it in the middle of the cylinder. In 1933, several small stones of a similar shape were found in Yucatan (Central America), but people did not understand their purpose.
The Great Atlantean Power Crystal still rests at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in the Bermuda Triangle area, which is why so many ships and planes disappear there. The giant crystal - the highest achievement of Atlantean civilization - was created when the Atlanteans were able to harness solar energy with the help of small crystals. Cosmic Teachers helped them find a powerful quartz vein, which, by its size, could reflect all the rays of the Sun and Moon. The Atlanteans were able to extract this block of quartz from the Earth, then process the edges with such precision and subtlety that they reflected every ray that fell on it. The crystal was used both day and night.
After the first catastrophe (800,000 years ago), which rebuilt the planet's continents, the Atlanteans began to use the giant crystal for aggressive purposes. Their pride reached the point that they decided to conquer Asia, located on the opposite side of the globe. When the rays of the crystal were directed through the center of the Earth, an explosion of incredible power occurred and the continent of Atlantis sank.
The current civilization (Fifth Root Race) is also parasitic and also consumes vitality planets, only not for subtle material purposes, but for purely physical ones. This is a civilization of pragmatists who recognize only gross material values. The current society is a consumer society. Life is becoming more and more unnatural, soulless and mechanical. The black magic of rhythm, sound, lighting effects, and video images works. Sophistications in video technology can reproduce a complete simulation of everything. The world becomes ghostly, illusory. People stop experiencing real feelings. But among the gray mass of thoughtless inhabitants there were always other people who created immortal masterpieces of art, climbed mountain peaks, went to the stake for the sake of Truth. There were and there are! This is a different, real humanity of the Future!
“All bright, unprejudiced consciousnesses will be saved and taken, as in the days of Atlantis, to safe places. Of course, every reorganization of the world brings with it great opportunities, therefore, although time is threatening, it is still beautiful and constructive. We just need to do our best to help lay the foundations for the future bright construction, which is already so close - closer than many believe, seeing destruction and decay all around,” writes E.I. Roerich.
In 1938 E.I. Roerich, quoting the Cosmic Teachers, wrote:
“The present century is reminiscent of a certain time of Atlantis. Then they failed to find balance, but if now they know about the same discrepancy, then some of the most living peoples can find the necessary correspondence. It will not be where the pendulum is dead, but where it swings extremely. They understand the importance of the common good. This formula has not yet been pronounced, but it is already maturing in the depths of consciousness. Service, first of all, is not rituals, but service to humanity. For many centuries words about cooperation have been spoken. Ideas often outpaced material possibilities, but now people have found many useful devices, and the time comes when we need to remember the common good.”
Only together, helping each other, can we rise up to a new stage of development. We are all descendants of the Atlanteans, both physically and spiritually. Our genetic ancestors were Atlanteans, our spiritual monads were once embodied in them. And the memory of Atlantis is needed so that its history is not repeated. If we do not protect the Earth, then chaos and savagery will reign for hundreds of thousands of years as a result of cataclysms. And the people of the Sixth Race - beautiful, tall, strong, sensitive, possessing abilities inaccessible to us - where will they have to incarnate? And is it really possible that the smile of Gioconda and Bach’s toccatas, Pushkin’s poems and Tchaikovsky’s symphonies, the landscapes of Roerich and Kuindzhi, the masterpieces of Indian architecture will be irretrievably lost to the world? Will we be able to prevent this?
It seems that we will be able to, but now only with the help of the Light Forces of the Solar System. There is every reason to believe that a revival of spirituality is taking place. This is, first of all, a manifestation of mass interest in High knowledge, forbidden for many years, an appeal to religions, a search for a spiritual path and perfection.
Pyramids and great dedications of the ancients.
Secrets of the pyramids
The colossal triangular structures of the Giza Pyramid seem to fall from the sky, like the rays of the sun. The pyramid was the main Temple of the Invisible and Supreme Deity. It is not an observatory or a tomb, but the first structure that serves as the repository of all the secret truths that are the basis of all arts and sciences.
Raymond Bernard, initiated into the secret teachings of the Rosicrucians, writes in the book “The Invisible Empire”: “In the Main Pyramid of Atlantis, the College of Sages, the guardians of secret knowledge, met. Much later, only one pyramid reproduced the Supreme Pyramid of the Atlanteans, and then on a different scale - this is the Pyramid of Cheops.”
The Atlanteans knew the nature and power of some cosmic forces, especially earthly tellurgical currents. The harmonious control of these forces allowed them to prevent geological disasters. The pyramids fulfilled this role, especially the Main Pyramid. And through her the whole Earth became an effective receiver of cosmic forces.
In Edgar Cayce's predictions regarding Atlantis we read:
“It is in the pyramids of Egypt that the history of Atlantis is found. Copies of all documents of Atlantis about its history and civilization were transferred to Egypt by the Atlanteans and hidden in the Hall of Chronicles - in a small pyramid located between the right paw of the Sphinx and the Nile River. It is located underground. The storage facility contains the bodies of immigrants from Atlantis. When this Hall is discovered, tables and books will be found there, left for posterity by the Atlanteans. Decorations of the altars of their temples, seals, surgical instruments, medicines, fabrics, musical instruments and much more will also be found there.”
The information is also found in the cornerstone of the base of the Sphinx's left front paw and covers the entire history of mankind up to 1998 AD. Cayce called the Cheops pyramid the “Pyramid of Understanding.” It, according to him, was created using levitation, i.e. universal laws that allow iron to float in the air. In this pyramid is the Hall of Initiation, and the purpose of the pyramid is much higher than as a “burial place.” Inside the pyramid there are mathematical and astronomical calculations of when the Earth will complete its cycle, since a reversal of the poles is possible. The appearance of the Messiah will bring about changes on Earth. There are indications in the pyramid about what these changes will be. They are all encrypted.
Something has not yet been heard about the discovery of the Hall of Chronicles under the pyramids in Egypt...
On the Yucatan Peninsula in South America, another prophecy predicted, a temple of the goddess Ishtar would be discovered, where chronicles, tables, and books of the Atlanteans were also kept. And nothing has yet been heard about this predicted discovery, which is obviously absolutely sensational. Or is it simply not done yet? Or is there more to come?
But here are predictions about other archaeological finds, where the well-known theme of the Great Power Crystal is played out. Records of how to create such a Crystal are found in three places: first, in sunken temples under the sediment near what is now known as Bimini, off the coast of Florida; secondly, in the Hall of Chronicles in Egypt; thirdly, the records were delivered by the Atlanteans to Yucatan. In the future, they will be discovered in Yucatan and transported to the State Museum in Pennsylvania, USA. Some of them will end up in Washington and Chicago.
And one more thing: the Atlanteans possessed forces that, combined with the forces of electricity and expanding gases, could cause explosions of colossal power... Records of systems producing such energy will be found near Bimini. Well, sunken temples and walls in these places have already been found.
Sphinx of Egypt
Another object of the Giza Plateau is no less interesting. This is the Sphinx of Egypt, known from photographs all over the world, and everyone can easily recognize this mutilated image. The only thing the world doesn’t know is why and when the Sphinx was carved from a giant block of dense limestone, and who turned the lonely rock into a statue of such gigantic proportions?
King Thutmose of Egypt freed the Sphinx from the oppressive sand. But little remains of the former beauty of the Sphinx. Time was kind to the Sphinx, but the evil hands of men turned out to be more merciless. This once beautiful face has been disfigured beyond recognition. The nose was recaptured by the fanatical Muslims who conquered Egypt in the 7th century, so that the followers of the Prophet Mohammed would not fall into idolatry. The beard, a symbol of divine power, was recaptured by Napoleon's soldiers who conquered Egypt in 1798. They chose the face of the Sphinx as a target for firing from cannons. Now the Sphinx's beard is in the British Museum. The absence of a beard has upset the balance of this entire structure, carved from a single rock, and partly from separate stones, and it is collapsing.
There are still holes on the Sphinx's body in the shoulder area, like scars. It was Colonel Howard Wise who pierced it with long iron drills with chisels at the ends in order to check whether it really consisted of solid rock or whether there was emptiness inside the Sphinx. He delved 9 meters into the body and was disappointed to find no emptiness there. But at that time, three quarters of this sculpture was still buried under huge masses of sand.
And when the monuments of antiquity were not guarded as strictly as they are now, pieces of the mouth of the Sphinx and the remains of the nose “as a souvenir” were carried around the world by his admirers. As a result, his kind and “blessed” smile turned into half-sad, half-spectacular.
Some of the travelers could not resist the temptation to immortalize themselves by carving their insignificant names on the body of the Sphinx. The paint that covered the Sphinx was destroyed by the elements. But his greatness remained.
The ureus, which rises above the head of the Sphinx, is not only a sign of royal power, but, above all, a symbol of the power that is given to a person over himself. The supposed ureus on the head of the Sphinx was considered to be a finger of huge sundial. It was also believed that He, along with the Pyramid, was used to determine time, seasons and precession.
For almost 200,000 years it has stood in the same place, and its unblinking eyes with different feelings look at the myriads of people passing by. Dressed in different personalities, the same spirits pass by, some accelerating their path forward, and some reversing it...
To many, the Sphinx seems to be a gloomy symbol of Truth, which man can never find. For some, he is a “silent idol.” But “those with ears” heard him well at all times.
The Sphinx is the main statue of this Earth. It was dedicated to the Sun, because physical light is the shadow of God and the substance of this rough material world closest to God. His eyes look exactly at the very point on the eastern horizon from where God Ra, the Sun God, begins his daily march.
“Know yourself, and you will know the whole world,” says the ancient wisdom inscribed above the Temple of Initiation. The Sphinx of Egypt can help in this knowledge. Listen, O man, to his whisper, and you will hear: “You exist. You are eternal. You are immortal. You are free. Nothing can destroy you. You are the true cause and witness of changes and all transformations of consciousness. Know yourself, O man!
The famous American occultist philosopher Manly Hall writes:
“There was the following theory: “The Sphinx of Giza served as the entrance to the sacred underground chamber in which initiations into secret teachings took place. The entrance, now blocked with sand and debris, can still be found between the front paws of the lying colossus. In the past, the entrance was closed with bronze gates, the secret springs of which were known only to magicians. The reverence of the people and religious fear guarded the gates better than armed guards could have done. In the belly of the Sphinx, galleries were laid leading to the underground part of the Great Pyramid. These galleries were so intricately intertwined that anyone who tried to enter the Pyramid without an accompanying person inevitably returned to the starting point after long wanderings.”
The bronze door described above has never been found, and there is no evidence that it ever existed. The past centuries have left noticeable marks on the colossus, and therefore it is quite possible that the existing entrance is now hopelessly closed.
The Sphinx is the symbol of the great cycle of our current Manvantara. In the Sphinx, of course, it is not difficult to recognize the sign of the Zodiac - Leo, and in the human face - the symbol of the Hierarchy and the spirits at the head of others. Pyramids are a symbol of the six Logoi. Measurements of pyramid passages can even give dates for many important events modernity.
According to the stories of Plato, Diodorus, Proclus and Herodotus, the Atlantis civilization once existed in the world, the secrets of which have not yet been revealed.
In ancient legends, which mention the mysterious country, there is various information about its location, inhabitants and the cause of their death.
Legend of Atlantis
The most popular myth is that contained in Plato's dialogues. The ancient Greek philosopher himself claimed that he received information from the politician Critias, who was told this story by his grandfather. But the latter also heard the belief from Solon. In general, the origins of the legend go back to Ancient Egypt, allegedly the legend about the Atlanteans was heard there for the first time. Perhaps the roots of the story go back even further than the pharaohs, for example, during the reign of the Sumerians.
The essence of the story is as follows: at the dawn of the human race, a people appeared, the ancestor of which was Poseidon, who entered into intimacy with a mortal girl. She bore him ten sons, one of whom was Atlas. They lived on a fertile island, where there was everything that a person could need. Centuries passed and thousands of representatives of a higher race already lived on a piece of land surrounded by the sea, they lived in harmony and mutual understanding.
Over time, temples, chapels, palaces and other structures appeared here. Ships moored at the shipyard, trade was going on at the market, ore was mined in the mines, in general, life was pulsating on the island. While the divine principle was preserved in the Atlanteans, they placed virtue above all else, not treasures. But everything changed when the spiritual nature was mixed with the human inside. One of the mysteries of the Atlantis civilization is related to the fact that the inhabitants of the mysterious power suddenly turned from creators into destroyers.
At first, the townspeople were mired in pride and greed, and soon they wanted to pursue an aggressive policy against their neighbors. When the era of wars began, Athens became the main enemy of the islanders. Long and bloody battle ended with Athens surviving and repelling the enemy. At this point, the insidious opponent stopped his military expansion. Zeus was outraged by this spectacle and convened a council of the gods to determine the future fate of the Atlanteans. At this point, Plato’s dialogue ends and one can only guess how the Thunderer punished them.
Atlantis on the map
There are a lot of theories about where the island might be. Let's consider only the most famous ones. So, the supposed location of the continent is the Atlantic Ocean. The ancients called the Strait of Gibraltar the pillars of Hercules, as stated in Plato’s stories. Consequently, the mysterious country should have been located near the coasts of Morocco and Spain.
The philosopher's story can also be considered as a legend based on real events, during which a global cataclysm occurred. As a result of the disaster, a very prosperous people fell into decay. A similar event could be the eruption of a volcano near Santorini and the concomitant collapse of the highly developed, by the standards of that era, Minoans in the Mediterranean Sea.
According to one version, Antarctica is the place where the Atlantis civilization was located. This judgment is based on ancient maps that depict the boundaries of states that existed around 13,000 BC. This guess talks about the shift of the continent into the zone south pole due to the displacement of lithospheric plates. Before this, the land was located near the equator and had a grass cover.
Death of Atlantis
There are various rumors about the decline of the empire. But since Plato’s story is the most discussed, the disappearance of civilization is generally considered to be the same as it was described by the ancient Greek philosopher. According to him, it all started with an earthquake. As soon as it ended, smoke came out of the volcano. The Atlanteans did not yet know what would soon happen to their island. While the townspeople were praying to the gods, an eruption began to occur. However, this was not the end. The survivors began to escape by boat. They sailed to neighboring islands. But there were also those who remained on land. Unfortunately, a sad fate awaited both. The chain of disasters that have already occurred triggered another one - a tsunami. A huge wave covered a piece of land along with its inhabitants. The boats were also swallowed up by the violent elements.
The truth about Atlantis
There is too little data, and even indirect, that speaks in favor of the existence of a great race. But there are plenty of facts that there has never been a mystical power. The most common judgment among historians is the following: the story of the Atlanteans is a classic philosophical myth.
Plato actually did not provide reliable information to his readers, because his goal was to convey to them thoughts illustrated by worldview beliefs. Archaeologists have not found any traces of a developed people who existed during the Atlantean era, neither in Greece, nor in Africa, nor in America. Be that as it may, the Atlantis civilization will continue to interest scientists and enthusiasts for a long time.
This story about the unusually ancient, mysterious civilization of the Atlanteans became possible thanks to thirty years of painstaking work carried out by researcher from Australia Shirley Andrews, for which many thanks to her. She devoted her entire life to the study and search of Atlantis. She did a titanic job and studied in detail all the available information about Atlantis, starting with Plato and the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Maya, the works of the famous mystic-medium Edgar Cayce and ending with the research of modern scientists. In search of traces of Atlantis, she traveled across a vast territory and personally explored thousands of kilometers - from the jungles of Central America to the Azores. In our country in 1998, Shirley Andrews’ book “Atlantis” was published. In the footsteps of a vanished civilization." This is the only work today that gives the most comprehensive scientific answers to questions about the mysterious civilization of the Atlanteans. According to its author, in his book, using strict scientific methods, as well as intuitive insights of individual mystics, questions of the everyday life of the Atlanteans, their religion, science and art are explored . In addition, the book contains some information about what knowledge representatives ancient world left to their descendants.
About my intentions and goals of this wonderful encyclopedic book Shirley Andrews (1915-2001) writes the following:
“For many years I read every book I could get my hands on about Atlantis. I looked for an answer to my question from ancient sages and scientists, from modern researchers, American Indians, and turned to the works of Edgar Cayce and other well-known mystics. I was extremely surprised that the material received by the mystics was very similar to more traditional sources - even if there may not have been a direct connection between them at all. I soon became convinced that in the era before about 12,000 BC. e. on Earth in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean... the Atlantean civilization really lived and flourished!
A significant portion of the information I gleaned about Atlantis is very important for today's life. After all, our distant Atlantean ancestors knew how to live in harmony with nature without destroying it. They learned to lead a life that today evokes genuine admiration for us - and the desire to return again to this state, when a person was fully aware of the forces hidden within himself, comprehended the greatness and power of the Universe and maintained a faithful relationship with it.”
What sources did S. Andrews use? First of all, this is the famous mystic - the clairvoyant E. Casey, whom we will talk about in more detail below, as well as the mystics W. Scott-Elliot and R. Sterner. Indirect information about the people of Atlantis for S. Andrews came from some ancient legends of England and Ireland that once upon a time thousands of representatives of a country that, as these people claimed, sank in the Atlantic Ocean, came to these parts. Source information for the author of Atlantis. “Following the Traces of a Vanished Civilization” appeared the legendary memories of the American Indians about this lost land, which they carefully passed on from century to century, from one generation to another.
It should be noted that our knowledge of Atlantis has been significantly expanded by many scientists. For example, Lewis Spence (1874–1955), a Scottish specialist in mythology and ancient history, which brought together stories about the Atlanteans cited by a wide range of authors: from Herodotus, a Greek historian and traveler of the 5th century BC. e. and Pepi I of Egypt (2800 BC) to the British treasure hunters of later times - such as Cu Chulainn Fioni, Leger Mac Creatian Labrad and Mannannan Osin. As for times closer to us, S. Andrews learned about the legendary Atlantis from the books of Edgarton Sykes, David Zink, Ignatius Donnelly, Nikolai Zhirov and many others. All of the above authors gave S. Andrews information about the life of the Atlanteans. In addition, she uses some objects from prehistoric life that have survived to the present day.
Firstly, this is shamanism - a type, according to S. Andrews, of spiritualism, which has dominated for 40 thousand years and is still practiced (in more or less the same form as in ancient times) in various parts of the world.
Secondly, these are amazing works of ancient art, created about 30 thousand years ago on the walls and ceilings of caves in France and Spain. This beautiful rock painting leads researchers to a number of conclusions that greatly help to understand the lifestyle of the prehistoric artists who created them.
Some important details directly related to Atlantis were kept in those amazing libraries that long before the rise of Christianity existed in the cities of the Western world and were available to any reader or researcher of that time. One of these libraries was located in the notorious Carthage on the coast of North Africa. As you know, from time immemorial the Carthaginians were considered excellent navigators, and their book depositories were replete with maps and descriptions of those places on the Earth where they themselves or their Phoenician ancestors sailed. In 146 BC. e., when the Romans destroyed the Carthaginian library, some leaders of North African tribes managed to save some of these priceless books. They cherished them like the apple of their eye, and, thanks to the penetration of the Moors into Spain from the 8th to the 15th centuries, Western Europe became acquainted with fragments of this ancient knowledge.
Another similar library was located in northern Egypt in the city of Alexandria. This huge library, according to E. Casey, was founded... by the Atlanteans in 10,300 BC. e. Twice in 391 and 642 the library burned due to the “invasion” of ignorant fanatics. It is believed that more than one million precious ancient manuscript scrolls were lost.
In the confusion and confusion of these alarming events, local residents mixed with crowds of looters and “quietly” carried books out of the flames. And yet, for several months in a row, the water in the Alexandrian baths was heated by burning library books and papyri in the fire. And during the period when the same Moors appeared in some Spanish regions, some of the ancient manuscripts that were once saved by the ancestors of the Egyptians found their way to Europe. In 1217, the Scotsman Michael Scot (1175–1232) visited Spain, who knew Arabic and took on the task of translating African manuscripts, which, among others, dealt with Atlantis. Undoubtedly, they were not missed by S. Andrews and found their place in her book.
And finally, another source of information about the Atlanteans for S. Andrews was the ancients nautical charts, preserved in North Africa and in the arid regions of the Middle East. In the 13th and 15th centuries, when the inhabitants of those times had already become accustomed to the idea that the Earth extended beyond the Strait of Gibraltar, copies of these detailed and accurate maps: they depict Northern Europe with its lakes and ice, as well as with unknown islands in the Atlantic Ocean. In other words, the northern European lands are shown as they were around 10,000 BC. e., when the glacier melted.
To summarize the above, we can conclude in the words of S. Andrews: “In my detailed descriptions of Atlantis, I relied on reliable data gleaned from many different studies, including intuitive messages from mystics.”
To imagine how S. Andrews relates to the history of the existence and development of Atlantis, that is, how she perceives the picture of the life of our distant ancestors and how she, in particular, relates to the problem of the appearance of aliens from outer space on Earth, you need, for example, to familiarize yourself with the table which is given in her book and which is given below.
ATLANTIS CHRONOLOGY

So, what kind of people lived in Atlantis in the period from 100,000 to 10,000 BC? e., who managed to survive the terrible catastrophe that destroyed their civilization? What do we know about these ancestors of ours and how do we imagine their lives?.. To answer these questions, let us turn to a brief summary of some sections of the book by S. Andrews.
PEOPLE
The Atlanteans were very similar to us: no less intelligent than us, they also laughed, smiled, loved, got angry, became angry and made serious decisions. They knew how to calculate, evaluate, dream, reflect on the past, present and future. Strong in body and spirit, they strived to lead a balanced and harmonious life.
When they managed to cope with everyday worries in a shorter time than expected, they devoted the rest of the day not to work that would bring them extra earthly benefits, but to mutual communication, love and joy, understanding their purpose on Earth and their place in the Universe. These people were tall and slender, and their outer beauty reflected their inner strength and beauty.
Their race was distinguished by greater longevity compared to previously existing ones. For example, the Cro-Magnons, considered representatives of the Atlanteans, lived to be 60 years old in the difficult climatic conditions of Western Europe, while the Neanderthals who preceded their culture died, on average, not even reaching 45 years of age.
A life devoted to the love of others and beauty inevitably led to the development of various hobbies. The remarkable examples of painting and sculpture that the Atlanteans and their descendants left on the European continent testify to their extraordinary artistic talents, fertile cultural environment and high standard of living.
The unusually highly developed spiritual and intuitive abilities of the Atlanteans made their existence very different from ours. All of them were very receptive and knew how to transmit thoughts over a distance. They managed to achieve complete mutual understanding without the help of words. They were able to transmit messages and figurative concepts over long distances, without interrupting communication even when apart. The ability to control their brains most likely allowed them to communicate on equal terms with aliens from outer space.
Let's make a small digression here... The question of possible contacts between the Atlanteans and aliens is quite complex and controversial. But we must note that this is, in fact, the point of view of the author of the book we are considering, S. Andrews. Many scientists note the sudden emergence of high knowledge among ancient people, which in no way, it would seem, could have been the result of their practical activities. There is reason to believe that all this knowledge was obtained in ancient times from communication with representatives of other inhabited worlds. The author of the book's opinion on this will be discussed further.
Thanks to their extremely developed perceptual abilities (far superior to ours), the Atlanteans easily comprehended mathematics and philosophy, as well as the secrets of the unknown. Along with the knowledge received from space advisers, this allowed the Atlanteans to achieve enormous success in various scientific fields, reaching an advanced level, including in aeronautics, which seems incredible to us.
The photo above shows how large the Atlanteans were compared to us, who once landed in Central America and they erected these large statues. The Atlanteans were characterized by such qualities as ingenuity, self-control and perseverance, that is, properties developed by people who survived natural disasters - earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and floods, which, according to S. Andrews, gradually “consumed” their country.
In Atlantis there lived two groups of people of different physical types. The first of them, the Cro-Magnons, were characterized by elongated narrow skulls that accommodated a brain with a volume significantly greater than the volume of the brain of a modern (average) person. They had small, even teeth, rather long noses, high cheekbones and prominent chins. The men were tall - much higher than two meters, and the women were more petite. The structure of the body was so similar to ours that if a Cro-Magnon man had to walk through the streets of our cities in modern clothes, he would not stand out from the crowd in any way - except perhaps for his beauty.
Another race of Atlanteans, who lived in the eastern mountainous regions of Atlantis, was significantly different from the Cro-Magnon: they were dark-skinned, squat and very strong people. Their main occupation was ore mining. They were famous for their excellent sense of humor, which not least helped them survive in the harsh mountainous regions. These mighty people were excellent fighters and valuable assets for the army of Atlantis!
CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS and BELIEFS
Realizing how high the moral value of family is and how important it is to share earthly time with another being, people of different sexes in Atlantis sought to choose a companion for life. Marriage was called a “union.” Two lovers who wanted to unite forever went to a local priest, who, with the help of his spiritual abilities, penetrated into the essence of their souls and determined the compatibility of the couple. Having approved the marriage, the priest blessed the lovers and gave them a pair of bracelets, which the spouses were supposed to wear on their left forearm. The spouses had equal rights, however, it was believed that the husband should take care of his wife when she was bearing children.
Same-sex relationships were also widespread in Atlantis. The Atlanteans believed in reincarnation and that in later life they would be reborn in the body of the opposite sex. Gays and lesbians chose not to connect with a person of that gender during their next life. They were truly revered for their loyalty because they strived to remain true to the old part of themselves.
Apparently, due to the fact that too many men fought in foreign lands, the Atlantean was allowed (especially in the pre-sunset hour of the existence of civilization) to take two wives. Harmony usually reigned in such families, since children were taught to love not only their mother, but also their father’s second wife, who, in turn, tried to take care of them in the same way as her children.
If the Atlanteans found themselves unhappy in their marriage, then they believed that they should not suffer all their lives because of a mistake made in their youth. In this case, both of them went to the priest, who tried to reconcile them so that they would continue to live with each other. However, if nothing came of this, then the religious leader took away their marriage bracelets, and both were freed from marriage.
When spouses who had children separated, and neither party wanted to take care of their offspring, strangers took responsibility for their upbringing. older in age, whose natural children have already grown up.
During the heyday of Atlantis, under the influence of the Adept Emperors, the people achieved the purest and truest understanding of the Divine idea. According to Plato's stories, the religion of the inhabitants of Atlantis was simple and pure; The Atlanteans worshiped the Sun. The offerings were only flowers and fruits. The cult of the Sun was a divine symbol of that essence of the Cosmos, which, being inexpressible, permeates everything. The solar disk was the only emblem worthy of depicting the head of the Deity. This golden disk was usually placed so that the first ray of the Sun would illuminate it during the spring or summer solstice, symbolizing the grandeur of such a moment.
N.K. Roerich. Atlant. 1921
APPEARANCE and CLOTHING
The inhabitants of Atlantis belong to the Fourth Root Race of humanity, and their origin comes from the descendants of the Lemurians. In The Secret Doctrine of H.P. Blavatsky is given information about the number and diversity of the Atlanteans. They represented several “humanities” and an almost countless number of races and nationalities. There were brown, red, yellow, white and black Atlanteans, giants and dwarfs.
Approximately one million years ago, the Third Sub-Race of the Atlanteans arose. It was called "Toltec". The height of the Atlanteans of that time was 2 - 2.5 meters. Over time it changed, getting closer to modern look. Such an Atlas is depicted above in the painting by N.K. Roerich with the same name. The descendants of the Toltecs are currently purebred representatives of the Peruvians and Aztecs, as well as the red-skinned Indians of North and South America.
Thanks to the warm climate that prevailed in most parts of the country, Atlanteans usually wore simple and comfortable clothes. The outfits of women and men, most often linen, were similar. As a rule, their clothing was a loose dress or shirt with long or short pants. People wore sandals, but sometimes walked barefoot. The Atlanteans preferred to wear long hair because they believed that it preserved physical and spiritual strength.
During the last stage of their civilization, when the Atlanteans began to give everything higher value material wealth, appearance also acquired special importance in their eyes. Men, women and children began to painstakingly adorn themselves with various necklaces, wristbands, brooches and belts made of pearls, silver, gold and multi-colored gems.
The attire of the priests in Atlantis emphasized their position and level of spiritual experience. The main color of their clothing, as well as belts, earrings, pendants, rings, wristbands or headbands, indicated whether the person wearing them was a healer, disciple or mentor.
Newcomers who had just entered the path of priesthood wore pale green robes. Then, having reached a higher degree of initiation, they changed into blue, and finally they were allowed to put on white clothes: this was the prerogative of the highest rank.
Let's try to imagine the inhabitants of Atlantis. Dressed in a well-breathable white dress or trousers with elegant purple trim, in addition decorated with embroidery. Our feet are protected by soft sandals woven from palm leaves. Both men and women wear long hair, secured with ivory pins and adorned with radiant rock crystal.
When the Atlanteans moved to colder climes in southwestern Europe, they needed more substantial clothing. They wore well-tailored shirts with collars and buttoned sleeves, skirts, jackets, long dresses with belts, and pants with pockets. Their feet were warmed by socks, shoes and fur boots. Women wore cotton scarves or hats on their heads, and men wore insulated hats.
FUN
As the Atlanteans paid more and more attention to material wealth, they began to establish sanctuaries in exquisitely decorated places, as well as in temples. For such structures, places were chosen where energy came from both the Earth and the Universe. The Atlanteans understood that humans are influenced by invisible forces emanating from all natural spheres.
Majestic temples everywhere adorned the landscape of Atlantis. Although the Atlanteans preferred simplicity and modesty when building their personal houses, they tried to build their favorite temples with great pomp, since they knew that these buildings would be admired by future generations.
Craftsmen lined the interior walls and ceilings of the sanctuaries with mosaic paintings made of gold and silver or inlaid them with precious stones. Men, women and children gathered to tend the magnificent gardens that brought life to the streams and ponds.
Religious holidays, rituals honoring the gods and rituals associated with birth and death occupied a large place in the social life of the Atlanteans. The formidable gods of the volcanoes thundered very often, so a lot of time was devoted to appeasing them. IN certain days all the inhabitants came to the appointed place, holding dishes with fresh fruits and vegetables, and then carried them to the mountain peaks or placed them in niches carved into the rocks.
One of the favorite celebrations in Atlantis was the New Year celebration, which fell at the time spring equinox and lasted seven days. New Year's celebrations began at sunrise in the spacious gardens surrounding the capital's temple of Poseidon. As the first rays of light appeared, the assembled crowd turned to the east, and a large choir began to sing a melodious song. This ritual ended with all those present kneeling down, bowing their heads in silent admiration before the power of the Sun - this source of all life and strength. After the morning celebration, people indulged in friendly communication, games, arguments and conversations on religious, philosophical or scientific topics.
At noon, everyone turned their face to the temple, where the priests swung a crystal on a high tower, which caught the sun's rays and sent a powerful stream of light in all directions. The crowd focused on the majestic source of energy and gave thanks for its presence. In the evening, at sunset, people turned towards the west and, accompanied by stringed instruments, sang a farewell song to their beloved heavenly body. On the last evening after the sunset ceremony, the temple choir sang another song corresponding to this event, and the priest made a speech about the power of the Sun, the meaning of his words being perceived more acutely due to the deepening twilight.
In addition to the New Year holidays, the life of the Atlanteans was decorated with local celebrations of spring crops, rituals dedicated to Hephaestus - Vulcan (the god of fire, the personification of volcanoes), religious ceremonies on the day of the summer solstice, celebrations on the night of the full moon and other similar events.
In Atlantis there were many ways to have a good time free time. For example, a favorite, albeit dangerous, pastime was a walk through the mountains, which could always greet daredevils either with the stench of poisonous gases erupting from the depths, or with streams of liquid lava emanating from cracks. Moreover, along the southwestern coast of Atlantis there was a pink strip of sand, which was protected by coral reefs from the powerful onslaught of ocean waves. Atlanteans loved to bask on these beaches under the shade of palm trees or swim in quiet backwaters.
In the pre-sunset years, the Atlantean civilization became interested in other amusements. Crowds gathered all over the country to watch bloody bullfights or horse races. In the last years of the existence of Atlantis, many of its inhabitants began to become more interested in gluttony, wine and communication. Memories of those stormy days have not been completely erased from the collective human memory. Descendants of the Atlanteans, who lived in the West Indies thousands of years later, claimed that Atlantis was a land where they feasted, danced and sang, and Welsh legends say that to some special music the Atlanteans could dance in the air, like leaves in the wind.
PETS
The Atlanteans could communicate with animals and birds telepathically, which they sometimes resorted to to transmit thoughts to each other. Deer, lions, goats, pigs and other animals roamed freely, and countless flocks of songbirds fluttered among the houses and sat trustingly on people’s shoulders. Animals helped their human counterparts in every possible way and protected them from dangers.
Cats, dogs and snakes were favorites, as these animals were sensitive to earth vibrations and the increasing electromagnetic activity that occurred, heralding earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Priests involved in various sacraments, who knew how to find mutual understanding with animals like no one else, kept lions and other large cats in the temples. Almost every family lived domestic cat, since it was believed that the hidden abilities of this beast protect the owners from the hostile forces of the inhabitants of the other world. It is also believed that the oldest dog breed was the Chow Chow, as a result of whose skillful breeding strong animals with heavy bones and very sharp claws appeared. Sheep served as support for the Atlantean household, although they were kept a little away from the home. Their wool was used to stuff pillows, spin and weave. And the manure of these animals served as an excellent fertilizer for gardens and vegetable gardens.
Among the special favorites in Atlantis were dolphins. The Atlanteans built ponds near their houses for these creatures and treated them as equals. Having learned to recognize their fast speech, they were filled with respect for the mental abilities of these “animals” (the author of the book put the last word in quotation marks for a reason, since it is known that the brain capacity of dolphins exceeds that of humans!). The dolphins that lived off the coast of Atlantis served its inhabitants as an excellent source of information about the sea, we can only dream about it.
Horses were also used in Atlantis. They worked on arable land, transported people and participated in horse races held on a huge racing field in the capital of the country - the Golden Gate City. The descendants of the Atlanteans, having settled after the destruction of Atlantis on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, that is, on the American and European continents, retained for a long time the ability to communicate with wild animals.
LANGUAGE AND WRITING
Making voyages to foreign lands, the Atlanteans communicated with other peoples everywhere, and gradually their dialect became the COMMON LANGUAGE of culture and trade. The former dialects became obsolete, while the Atlantean lexicon became the basic lexicon from which many of the world's languages subsequently originated. The existence of a single language is spoken of in the Bible: it was the time of the construction of the Tower of Babel, when “there was one language and one dialect throughout the whole earth.”
At first, the Atlanteans did not have a written language. Their spiritual existence was in perfect harmony with the natural world, and the continuity of such relations did not need written support. The Atlanteans believed that writing breeds forgetfulness. In other words, to write down a thought would mean not to enrich it, but, on the contrary, to impoverish it.
Little by little, to denote abstract feelings or certain events, as well as other concepts that required several words, they began to use various symbols- spirals, swastikas, zigzags, which the Atlanteans used when communicating with foreigners.
Moreover, with the help of pointed stones, hammers and bone chisels, prehistoric Atlantean sailors painstakingly carved distinct petroglyphs into rocks and boulders in many places.
Repeating marks along ancient river beds, carved before 10,000 BC. BC, can still be found today in Africa, the Canary Islands, around the Gulf of Mexico, as well as in many other areas where rivers once flowed into the Atlantic Ocean.
Gradually, in Atlantis, LETTERS themselves began to develop from pictographic symbols, more or less similar to the designations familiar to us. The oldest icons were based on the sounds of living creatures. Many references to prehistoric writing have reached us. And the Phoenicians, traveling through the countries neighboring Atlantis, “picked up” fragments of these ancient signs and symbols developed in Atlantis, and then composed a phonetic (sound) alphabet from them.
UPBRINGING AND EDUCATION
As always and everywhere, in Atlantis, children began to learn about the world around them from their parents. Considerable attention was paid to oral stories. From generation to generation, the inhabitants of the island (or islands) passed on tales about Poseidon, Cleito and Atlas, which they heard from their great-grandfathers, or stories about earthquakes, floods, solar and lunar eclipses, about the fight against wild animals, - in a word, about everything that befell the Atlantean people in the past.
The children exercised their memory by memorizing many songs that the Atlanteans customarily performed during various rituals. Children talked to flowers, made friends with birds and animals, sensed hidden life in stones and rocks, and explored other hidden and complex manifestations of the earthly world.
However, all civilizations “mature”, and by 14,000 BC. e. in Atlantis the importance of science increased. In this regard, orderly education was considered necessary for the general welfare. Children went to classes in temples, where they learned reading, writing, astronomy and mathematics. The favorite way of teaching in temples was telepathy - the transmission of thoughts at a distance. For records, temple schools used flexible writing material like parchment, which was rolled into scrolls and secured with a clay ring.
On their twelfth birthday, each child was allowed to have a private conversation with the high priest of the local temple, who encouraged the young creature to choose an activity to his liking. After such a conversation, teenagers most often entered various kinds of “trade schools”, where they learned farming, fishing and other useful skills. Some of them attended scientific institutions, where the regular school curriculum was supplemented by the study of the medicinal properties of plants and herbs, as well as the development of spiritual abilities, such as healing.
In the capital of Atlantis, the City of the Golden Crowtext-align:justify t, there was a magnificent university, where access was open to all those prepared - regardless of religious and racial affiliation. The university consisted of two colleges (or faculties): the College of Sciences and the Secret College of Incal. Education at the College of Sciences was highly specialized, that is, its students immediately chose a subject of study (medical art, mineralogy, mathematics, geology or another scientific branch).
The Incal College dealt with occult phenomena. Here they studied astrology, practiced predicting the future, reading thoughts and interpreting dreams, transmitting thoughts over a distance and materializing the thoughts of individual people. Healers who studied at this faculty acquired completely different skills than those who studied the art of medicine at another faculty, that is, at the College of Sciences. Various methods of recognizing and treating both physical and mental ailments were used to benefit all Atlanteans.
ART
The favorable climate allowed the Atlanteans to do without the grueling daily struggle for food and shelter, and therefore they had “free time” to practice art and music. So that the works of talented artists could be admired by fellow tribesmen, they were exhibited in temples, which today are buried under sediments volcanic lava, under the thickness of ocean waters.
However, some examples of art from that distant time were still lucky enough to survive to this day in the lands neighboring Atlantic Ocean. In southwestern Europe, a number of graceful statues of Atlanteans, unique rock paintings, as well as beautiful jewelry carved from bone and precious stones were discovered. All these products indicate a long period of existence of a certain artistic tradition in Atlantis. The discovered examples of painting, sculpture and jewelry are by no means the first timid attempts of artisans, but masterpieces of skilled and experienced craftsmen.
Today we are deprived of the opportunity to admire the paintings that the Atlantean settlers created on outdoors and in the light of warm sunlight, but the wonderful paintings they made in the period from 30,000 to 10,000 BC. e., preserved in some caves in France and Spain. Near the cave entrances, the walls are decorated with hunting scenes, gatherings of people, and detailed depictions of the various seasons. However, the most magnificent paintings are hidden in almost inaccessible cave passages.
While creating their masterpieces there, ancient artists suffocated from lack of ventilation and strained their eyesight due to poor lighting. And despite such seemingly unbearable working conditions, the animal bodies they depict reveal amazing freedom, lightness, liveliness and also naturalistic verisimilitude, which rarely anyone manages to achieve in our days.
One of the strongest motives that prompted the artists of antiquity to work for hours on end in the chilly darkness of deep European caves was SHAMANISM. Far from the noise and fun, drawn bright colors birds, animals and people seemed to come to life in the tremulous and uncertain light of the trembling flame of oil lamps. It was easier for priests or shamans here in caves to come into contact with the other world of spirits.
Evidence of the existence of grueling rites of initiation (initiation) and the hallucinatory visions captured in picturesque images that visited artists in these sacred places when they managed to “go beyond” their own bodies - all this suggests that occultism once dominated in Atlantis. At the same time, intuitive shamanic abilities allowed these artists to create unsurpassed examples of painting.
The images of the artists who migrated from Atlantis to South America are for the most part not as expressive as the works of those who sailed from Atlantis to the east. But still, both the subjects themselves and the paintings of artists in Peru, Chile and Brazil are very reminiscent of their European counterparts.
Atlanteans were depicted on the walls of caves in Europe and near the Amazon River in South America, that is, on both sides of the ocean, “cycles of the seasons.” Such a cycle was a circle divided at right angles into four parts, and each segment designated one season. And although in the Amazon region there were only two seasons, and not four, as was the case in Atlantis and Western Europe, the Atlanteans continued to paint this cycle of four as private, as before at home. In other words, the penchant of ancient South American artists for occult creations was obvious.
Another material used by the craftsmen in Atlantis was quartz, a volcanic rock quite common in Atlantis. In 1927, in the ruins of Mayan buildings in Lubaantum, the expedition of the famous archaeologist Frederick A. Mitchell-Hedgis discovered a life-size skull sculpted from crystalline quartz. The skull was found by a young American woman who was helping Anne Mitchell-Hedgis's father with his work.
This is how one of the Bulgarian magazines describes this item: “The skull is made of colorless transparent rock crystal and consists of two parts. The lower jaw is movable. The skull weighs 5.19 kilograms and is the size of a normal human skull. It is amazing that expertly made lenses and prisms are placed in the cranial cavity and at the bottom of the eye sockets, allowing the transmission of images of objects. When the light beam is directed into the cavity of the skull, the eye sockets begin to sparkle brightly, and when the beam is directed into the center of the nasal cavity, the skull glows completely. The structure of the find indicates that it is a female skull. Using a thin thread threaded through tiny holes, you can force lower jaw move..."
According to F.A. Mitchell-Hedges, the perfection of the crystal skull and the Maya's lack of raw materials for its manufacture (the skull was created from a giant rock crystal, which is not found in Central America) can be explained by the fact that the skull came to the Mayans... from Atlantis. Other man-made quartz skulls found, not so finely crafted, are exhibited in two places: the British Museum of Man and the Anthropological Museum in Paris.
Since radiocarbon dating is not applicable to quartz, the age of these skulls cannot be determined. However, after a thorough study of the Central American skull, scientists from the California Hewlett-Packard laboratory made next output: It was carried out by people who belonged to a civilization that had as much (if not more) knowledge of crystallography than modern civilization.
Scientists who examined the quartz skull under powerful microscopes found no scratches to indicate it had been carved with metal tools. It is possible that during its manufacture a certain mixture was used to dissolve the rock. Some of the researchers came to the conclusion that, even with such advanced technology as we have today, it is almost impossible to reproduce this unique skull. According to their calculations, its creation, that is, grinding from a single piece of quartz rock, would require at least... three hundred (?!) years of continuous labor of one person.
The quartz skull has some strange properties. Sometimes people who are sensitive to such things see a peculiar aura around him, others detect a sweetish-sour smell near him. At times it may seem that the skull is making sounds like the ringing of a bell or a barely audible choir of human voices. In his presence, many people have realistic visions, and he has a beneficial effect on those endowed with the gift of healing and divination. The crystal also promotes meditation: it not only serves as an amplifier of radio waves, but also perceives them, influencing the energy emitted by thought waves. Skulls and other similar objects, carefully carved from quartz crystals, helped the Atlanteans and their descendants achieve increased sensitivity and sensitivity when contemplating their own place in the Universe.
MUSIC
occupied an important place in the lives of the Atlanteans, as it helped them maintain health and peace of mind. They sang, played harps, lutes, guitars, flutes and trumpets, cymbals, tambourines and drums, and the vibrations of music had a spiritual and physical effect on their minds and bodies.
In addition, the Atlanteans knew that euphonious musical tones promoted the growth of plants and had a good effect on the well-being of domestic animals.
The Atlanteans who settled in Europe and America also attached importance to pleasant musical sounds in their lives. This is evidenced, in particular, by the fact that many whistles, pipes, drums and other stringed instruments were found among their personal property.
The sweet sounds of the flute, the monotonous and dull drumming, and the calm plucking of strings from harp-like instruments helped to get in the mood for meditation even during the temple service. In addition, healers used music along with medical and psychological methods treatment of the disease. For example, beating the drum and singing songs made it possible to plunge into a state of deep trance, in which bleeding stopped, the body regained strength, and physical and mental ailments were cured. The Atlanteans sang special songs to sick children, and their strong belief in the healing power of music helped bring recovery closer.
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL ACTIVITIES
The last civilization in Atlantis flourished for 20 thousand years - much longer than our civilization has experienced so far. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and even Arabs inherited grains of scientific knowledge accumulated in Atlantis and then preserved in the most ancient libraries of the Western world, as well as in the esoteric teachings of the priestly castes of various countries or their religious figures. This knowledge testifies to the remarkable scientific and technical talents of the Atlanteans and their advisors who came from heaven.
Subsequently, for example, during the Renaissance, inquisitive and eager humanist scientists, having thoroughly studied and rethought this fragmentary heritage of antiquity, laid the foundations of our scientific thinking. Today we are rediscovering and mastering - albeit only partially - the scientific experience of our distant ancestors and predecessors.
The ancient Atlanteans received energy in several ways, the main ones being, for example, the following:
Receiving vital energy released by “living matter”;
The use of the energy of “sound levitation”, manifested by the use of sound pulsations and tension of mental effort, used to move heavy objects of the festival in space. The cult of the Sun also existed in ancient Ireland and throughout Scandinavia, where it acquired special importance also due to the fact that in those parts there alternately reigned long days of darkness and light...
The Atlanteans (probably not without the practical help of space aliens) used solar energy in flying cars. In a later period, aircraft like “airplanes” were controlled by powerful beams from special stations, which in turn were powered by solar energy.
Another Atlantean aircraft, which in appearance resembled a “low, flat sleigh,” could transport heavy loads over long distances, flying ten meters above the ground in a straight line. This machine was controlled from the ground using a special crystal.
The rays from such a crystal also sent energy to small “airplanes” - for one or two riders, flying just one meter above the ground. Another type of Atlantean airship was called “valix”. These ships varied in length, varying from 7–8 to 90–100 meters.
They looked like hollow needles with points at both ends and were made of sheets of shiny, lightweight metal that glowed in the darkness. These “passenger liners” had rows of windows in the floor and sides - like embrasures, as well as light holes in the ceiling. Books, musical instruments, potted plants, comfortable chairs and even beds helped passengers brighten up their flight time. These planes had a special system built into them that, in stormy weather, allowed the “liners” to avoid accidental collisions with mountain peaks. Flying over the earth in such planes, the Atlanteans often threw seeds down as dedicatory offerings to the setting sun. This is a laconic description of the “aeronautical fleet” of the Atlanteans, who, in principle, could fly and explore both near and distant space...
MEDICINE
While the Atlanteans maintained a close connection with the natural environment, they were famous for their excellent physical and mental health. Regular performance of religious rituals among the standing stones in the temples allowed them to join in the boundless harmony of the Universe. The inhabitants of Atlantis believed that the powers endowed with these sacred stones increased fertility, performed miraculous healings, prolonged life and cured mental illnesses.
Conscious of the power of mind over body, spirit over flesh, healers in Atlantis developed unique ways disease recognition. In addition, the Atlanteans used many methods for the practical treatment of physical ailments.
First of all, they turned to nature for help. The great variety of plants that grew in prehistoric times in Atlantis and its colonies provided healers with many opportunities to treat various diseases and ailments, as well as to improve healing itself. Among these drugs were antiseptics, narcotics, quinine against malaria, hallucinogens, herbs for stimulating cardiac activity, etc. Healing plants They were also used in the treatment of fevers, dysentery and most other disorders of the human body.
Atlantean healers and, in particular, priests knew how to use energy from higher sources to treat certain ailments. At the same time, healers often practiced in pyramids (at a distance of one third from the top of its height), where it was easier to accumulate energy captured from space.
To treat some other diseases, the Atlanteans successfully used color and sound, as well as metals - copper, gold and silver. Precious stones were also used: sapphires, rubies, emeralds and topazes.
The Atlanteans understood that, like the human body, every substance (and sometimes phenomenon) has its own characteristic vibrations caused by the movement of internal tiny atomic particles. People instinctively determined which of these materials suited them best, and wore jewelry made from it, which gave them strength and contributed to their receptivity.
In Atlantis, crystals were widely used to treat many diseases. The color change in large “healing” crystals helped experienced doctors determine in which part of the body pain originated. Medical manipulations using “healing” crystals, which focused beneficial energy on the patient’s body, were very common, as they helped to “pour” new strength into the human body and prolong its life.
Naturally, at times in Atlantis there was a need for surgical intervention. However, it was not associated with unpleasant sensations, since the “therapeutic hypnosis” used by the healers served as an excellent pain reliever - so reliable that the patient did not feel pain either during or after the operation.
Since the ancient Sumerians, in particular, were helped by space aliens in treating patients with various methods, then, most likely, they also helped the Atlanteans...
So, using materials from the book “Atlantis. In the Traces of a Vanished Civilization,” we became quite fully and thoroughly familiar with some aspects of the multifaceted life of the Atlanteans, as well as with some of the conditions of their life. We would also like to end this essay with the words of Francis Bacon, quoted in the book by Shirley Andrews:
“...I believe that someday most of this information will be confirmed - for the benefit of our civilization. So, opening your mental eyes wider, fixing your gaze on distant Atlantis and - ... read not in order to contradict and refute, and not in order to take the word for it - but in order to weigh what you read and reflect... »
The lost continent of Atlantis has been troubling the minds of millions of people for almost 2500 years. A mystery shrouded in the fog of thousands of years, hundreds of theories and hypotheses. Even despite modern technical means and scientific progress, it has still not been possible to find not only the location of Atlantis, but also to prove its existence. It is worth noting that on the way to the secrets of the Atlantean civilization, scientists and researchers made many other discoveries. Which sometimes don’t fit into your head due to their fantastic nature. Many have heard of Atlantis, but not many have thought about the culture that supposedly characterized this great civilization.
The very first mentions of Atlantis are considered to be "Dialogues" ancient Greek philosopher and the historian Plato. In them, he casually mentioned the location of the mainland in the Strait of Gibraltar area. But mostly he focused on describing the life and culture of the Atlanteans. The accuracy with which Plato describes Atlantis is surprising. Its rich cities and civilization, which has risen to the highest level of development. According to him, the Atlanteans are the descendants of Poseidon. Who, in turn, was their supreme deity.
The wealth and grandeur of the disappeared continent is amazing. But one can only judge him from the words of Plato. In addition, other information is more interesting. It has been proven that Plato himself borrowed stories about the mainland from his uncle Solon. He heard them while in Egypt. The story of Atlantis was told by one of the priests of the goddess of the sky and mother of the Sun - Neith. At the same time, he showed inscriptions in temples, testifying to the reality of the existence of the lost continent. It turns out that the Atlanteans knew in advance about the imminent death of their homeland. And they did everything possible to preserve the great secrets and gene pool of humanity.
Before talking about the possible location of the sunken continent, it is worth focusing on the achievements of the Atlanteans. The information is extremely interesting, although somewhat worn out by the eternal search for the continent itself. The researchers were so carried away by the search that they completely forgot about why they started all this. Ancient sources provide evidence that the Atlanteans preserved their knowledge for posterity. Moreover, they saved not only the information, but also themselves. Shortly before the terrible catastrophe that plunged the country into the ocean, representatives of the great race went to Egypt, Greece and even Tibet.
The information from the famous British esotericist Labsang Rampa is interesting. He claims that there are secret caves under the Potala Temple in Tibet. In them, Tibetan monks protect the three Atlanteans, who are in a state of “samadhi”. The condition itself is mentioned in all Eastern religions, so its reality can be taken on faith. Another thing is interesting. Labsang claims that the inhabitants of Atlantis had unique abilities. With the help of the “third eye” they could move heavy objects and had developed science and technology.
His statements coincide with the words of the famous Russian occultist Helena Blavatsky. In her writings she wrote that in construction Egyptian pyramids Atlanteans took part, moving huge blocks of stone using magic. In addition, Blavatsky said that the Great Pyramid of Cheops is a repository of Atlantean knowledge. Her words are partially confirmed by modern research. Scientists have discovered hidden rooms under the base of the pyramid. Their age can be safely attributed to the tenth, and possibly the twelfth millennium BC.
Secrets of Atlantis. The Vanished Continent If you ignore the esotericism for a while and focus on more material things, then it will be interesting to find the place where Atlantis is located today. As for this aspect of research, there are many theories and it makes sense to focus on the more realistic ones. In the process of searching for the flooded continent, scientists explored the entire globe and obtained information that forces us to take a fresh look at the history of mankind. For the sake of fairness, it is worth noting that these finds were not always in any way connected with Atlantis. Although they were no less important for science.
The most realistic among modern versions is the location of the disappeared continent in the Aegean Sea. Researchers claim that Atlantis was associated with the Minoan civilization and existed until the 16th century BC. Around this time, a volcanic eruption occurred on the island of Santorini, and the legendary Atlanteans disappeared into oblivion. Geological research confirms the theory. Scientists have discovered underwater sediments in the area volcanic ash several tens of meters thick. But whether the remains of the great race were preserved under the ashes, science is not able to answer. One can only hope that “yet” they are not able to.
The Disappeared Continent Another interesting theory is that the missing continent is located under a two-kilometer layer of ice in Antarctica. Upon closer examination, the theory no longer seems fantastic. To begin with, you should pay attention to the ancient maps of our planet. In 1665, the work of the German Jesuit Athanasius Kircher saw the light of day. Among other things, it featured a reproduction of an Egyptian map. The map showed Antarctica without ice in detail. This is what the Egyptians believed it was like 12,000 years ago. Surprisingly, the configuration of the island on the map is strikingly similar to the outlines of Antarctica obtained using modern equipment.
Additionally, ice-free Antarctica appears on many later maps. The fact remains a fact. Antarctica without ice was present in the memory of our ancestors. She will never be seen like this again. It is worth noting that many of the ancient maps depicting Atlantis are incredibly detailed and accurate to the minute. How such reliability was achieved also remains a mystery.
Any variations on the theme: “Where to look for Atlantis?” must prove how this continent could disappear in an incredibly short time. According to Plato, Atlantis sank within 24 hours. It is obvious that no cataclysm can produce such a destructive effect. One out of two:
Either Atlantis went into the depths of the sea longer than the stated time;
. or the death of the Atlanteans came from outside.
This hypothesis fits very smoothly with the statement of the same Lama Labsang Rampa. In his writings, he stated that the disaster occurred due to a planetoid that collided with the Earth. Thus, displacing it from orbit and forcing it to rotate in the other direction. Let scientists judge the possibility of such an event, but this really explains both the continental shift and the disappearance of the first civilization.
The Atlantean Empire is fraught with many secrets, the answers to which are so desirable for enthusiasts. And it’s safe to say that research will not subside until Atlantis is found. There is no smoke without fire. This means that there is hope that the disappeared continent will come out to meet its descendants.
Modern researchers have not yet managed to fully reveal all the hidden secrets of the existence of Atlantis. However, thanks to the many studies carried out in this area, there are still a number of assumptions and hypotheses regarding the existence of the described ancient civilization.
Official science, of course, does not recognize the existence in the past of this mysterious - perhaps, really only mythical - civilization.
The achievements of the Atlantean civilization are impressive.
There is an opinion among scientists that the Atlanteans achieved a very high level of progress in all spheres of life. They could plan their lives in completely different ways. For example, telepathic communication with family and friends was not alien to the people who once inhabited this sunken continent. They also loved to have long conversations on the topic of what role they occupy in the Universe.
According to theosophists, the Atlanteans were the fourth race on earth. They appeared after the death of the Lemurian civilization, having absorbed some of its achievements, and existed until the appearance of the fifth race, the Aryans. The Atlanteans, compared to the Lemurians, were much more godlike. Beautiful, smart and ambitious.
They worshiped the sun and quickly developed their technology, just as we do today.
Description of Atlandita by Plato
In four hundred and twenty-first BC, Plato in his writings spoke about the disappeared civilization of the Atlanteans.
According to him, it was big Island, located in the middle of the ocean, beyond Gibraltar. In the center of the city there was a hill with temples and the palace of the kings. The upper city was protected by two earth mounds and three water ring canals. The outer ring was connected by a 500-meter canal to the sea. Ships sailed along the canal.
Copper and silver were mined in Atlantis. The ships that arrived brought pottery, spices, and rare ores.
The temple of Poseidon, the ruler of the seas, was built from gold, silver, and orchilac (an alloy of copper and zinc). His second temple was protected by a golden wall. There were also statues of Poseidon and his daughters.
Forty years later, after the death of the philosopher, the Athenian resident Krantor went to Egypt to find Atlantis. In the temple of Neith, he found hieroglyphs with texts about the events that took place.
Scientific and technological progress in Atlantis
Due to its high level of mental and mental development the inhabitants of Atlantis managed to establish contact with alien beings. Some researchers provide information that the Atlanteans knew how to create ultra-fast and practical flying machines. Their very deep knowledge in the field of physics, mathematics and mechanics made it possible to produce equipment highest quality with unusual properties. And it was these devices that easily helped them travel through outer space!
Progress in technology has been so stunning that even today humanity has not yet been able to develop analogues to those flying devices, even taking into account the fact that science is constantly taking leaps and bounds forward in all spheres of life, without exception.
All this suggests that the inhabitants of Atlantis were extraordinary people, possessed of enormous intelligence and knowledge. At the same time, the Atlanteans willingly shared the acquired skills and experience with the younger generation. Therefore, progress in technical development gradually improved and reached unprecedented heights.
The first pyramids were built just on the territory of Atlantis. This unusual phenomenon still puzzles researchers as to what available means and equipment were used to build such unusual structures!
Also economically, their country was prosperous. The work of any person in it was paid according to his dignity. According to legend, Atlantis was an ideal country; there were no beggars or rich people boasting of their wealth.
Due to this, social status In this country it was always stable, no one worried about food.
Appearance and morality of the Atlanteans
Due to the fact that the Atlantean body had remarkable physical strength compared to modern man, they could do much more work than our contemporaries.
The body of the Atlanteans was staggering in size. According to evidence, it reached 6 meters in height. Their shoulders were very wide, their torsos were elongated. There were 6 fingers on the hands and 7 on the feet!
The facial features of people who once lived on Atlantis are also unusual. Their lips were very wide, their noses were slightly flattened, and they also had huge, expressive eyes.
According to their physiological data, the average lifespan of the average Atlantean was about 1000 years. At the same time, each of them tried to look beautiful in the eyes of others. Often, a variety of jewelry made of silver or gold, as well as precious stones, were used as decorations.
Atlanteans were highly moral people. Therefore they were alien bad habits and immoral lifestyle. They tried to treat those around them honestly in any situation; no one tried to deceive or set anyone up. In family relationships, marriage once for a lifetime was the norm. And the relationship itself was built solely on mutual trust, support and love for each other.
The political system in Atlantis was built in a democratic field. In many ways, it is similar to the one that reigns in modern successful European states with freedom of speech and the right to choose. The ruler of the Atlanteans was chosen by voting. Moreover, he ruled for a very long period - from 200 to 400 years! But no matter who ruled Atlantis, each of its leaders always sought to create such a universal social environment within the state, thanks to which any person could always feel protected and cared for.
Causes of the death of Atlantis
One of the assumptions about why Atlantis disappeared is based on the fact that the kings and population of this continent began to abuse the knowledge with which they carried out their aggressive intentions.
For example, the pyramids they built created portals with other worlds. All this contributed to the fact that the energy coming from a parallel reality could be negative and at a certain moment could have a detrimental effect on the entire continent, completely destroying it in an instant.
In their daily lives, magic began to be used more and more exclusively with malicious intent.
Too much great knowledge create a temptation to use them for selfish interests. And no matter how morally pure the inhabitants of Atlantis were at first, in the end negative trends began to grow in their society over time. Predatory attitude towards nature, increasing social inequality, abuse of power by the small elite who controlled the Atlanteans ultimately led to tragic consequences associated with the outbreak of a long-term war. And it was she who became the main reason that one fine day the entire continent was swallowed up by the waters of the ocean.
Some scientists also confidently claim that the death of Atlantis occurred approximately 10-15 thousand years ago. And this large-scale event was provoked by a huge meteorite that fell on our planet. The fall of a meteorite could change the earth's axis, which caused a tsunami of unprecedented proportions.
What Helena Blavatsky said about the reasons for the death of Atlantis
According to Helena Blavatsky, the fall of Atlantis occurred because the Atlanteans played with God. It turns out that the Atlanteans slipped from high morality to indulgence of passions.
The Atlantean technologies, which surpassed their spiritual qualities, allowed them to create chimeras - crosses between humans and animals, to use them as sexual slaves and physical workers. The Atlanteans had a high level of knowledge of genetic modification and cloning technology. This is similar to what people do now in the 21st century.
Telepathically warned that the continent would sink, many Atlanteans fled, boarding ships before the continent's final sinking in 9,564 BC. as a result of a series of earthquakes.
The American mystic Edgar Cayce, who looked into the so-called astral akashic records in a trance state, argued that many of the souls who once lived in Atlantis are currently living as representatives of modern Western civilization in order to fulfill their destiny.
Searches for a lost civilization
Over the past two thousand years, multiple speculations have arisen about the location of Atlantis. Interpreters of Plato's works pointed to the modern Atlantic islands. Some argue that Atlantis was located in what is now Brazil and even Siberia.
Modern archaeologists consider the thinker's story about the Atlanteans to be fiction. Circular networks of channels, hydraulic structures in those days they were still beyond the capabilities of mankind. Scholars of Plato's philosophy and literature believe that he wanted to call for the creation of an ideal state. As for the period of disappearance, Plato cites information that it happened eleven and a half thousand years ago. But during this period, man was just emerging from the Paleolithic, Stone Age. Those people's minds were not yet sufficiently developed. Perhaps these data from Plato about the time of the destruction of Atlantis are incorrectly interpreted.
There is one assumption why Plato’s figure for the death of Atlandita appears 9 thousand years ago. The fact is that in Egyptian calculation “nine thousand” was represented by nine lotus flowers, and “nine hundred” by nine knots of rope. Externally, in terms of spelling, they were similar, which is why there was confusion.
Modern research
In nineteen seventy-nine, all European newspapers were full of headlines “The Russians have found an island.” Pictures were presented in which vertical ridges, similar to walls, peeked out of the sand. The search operations took place exactly where Plato indicated - behind the Pillars of Hercules, above the underwater volcano Ampere. It was reliably established that it protruded from the water and was an island.
In nineteen eighty-two, another Russian ship, sinking under water, discovered the ruins of the city: walls, squares, rooms. These findings were refuted by another expedition, which found nothing. Except for frozen volcanic rocks.
There are suggestions that the disaster occurred due to a sudden shift of the African tectonic plate. Its collision with the European one caused the eruption of Santorini - and the western islands sank.
Of course, it is now impossible to say with certainty what exactly happened to Atlantis and what contributed to its destruction. And many of the hypotheses set forth by researchers can only approximate the truth.
Whether Atlantis was simply a figment of the imagination of Plato and other thinkers, or a reality reflected in ancient legends, miraculously preserved to this day, remains a mystery...
Perhaps our civilization is heading towards the same ending, when we will become for our distant descendants the same mythical event that Atlantis is for us. And our continents will also unsuccessfully search for deep oceans for days.
