What Remains of Atlantis? Fantasy or Fact?

According to Corrado Federici "the basis of distant legends there is always a kernel of truth and spiritual symbolism."

This means that behind every form of our thinking, behind each is hiding something that has been lost.

Unfortunately, if an event is chronologically more distant and does not fit snugly into a well-defined space-time slot ... it is seen as a legend, a fairy tale or fable. The myth is not fiction but a symbolic tale that contains a truth.

Esoteric knowledge for the myth of Atlantis is the gateway to our human race.

We will examine together the testimonies and archaeological remains attributed to this ancient civilization and then you will decide whether to believe or not the existence of the lost continent.

The ruins of Atlantis,on the floor of the Atlantic as revealed by archeologists using television technology below the surface? Underwater structures? Satellite images may reveal submerged buildings..forms,pictures,massive stone construction of magalithic stature...tells of some significant lost society perhaps to sink under the waves by earthquake many thousands of years in the past. Amazing Atlantis lives in our imaginations to this day.

It is claimed that the Atlanteans were giants and that the atmosphere in which they lived was a watery atmosphere, in the Mayan language the syllable "ATL" means water, water power. Hence, the greek word "atlas", which means tireless, from which comes the word "athlete".

Atlas was the king of Mauritania and is believed to be the son of Jupiter. It is represented as a deity who supports the globe and this image exists in America pre-Columbian.

In almost all cultures there is the belief that the world began with a deluge, which is what we know as the Great Flood.

We find traces of the flood not only in Genesis but also in the Code Boturini, in the Popol Vuh (Mayan collection of myths and legends), in "The rooms Dzyan" (book found in Tibet, describes all the different ages of man in humanity) , in the Dresden Codex.

The Aztecs claimed to have originated from Aztlan, an unknown land. Etymology of the Aztec language Nahuatl Aztlan means "people of Aztlan."

According to some scholars the term Aztlan nahuatl is derived by the words "aztatl", meaning "heron" (or bird with white feathers) and "tlan (tli)", which means "instead of"

Aztlan would then say "place of herons" . According to another theory, derives from the name of the god Atlas and means "near water". In Mexico there is also an area called Chichen Itza, which means saved from the waters.

Today there are many theories about the location of Atlantis: the Mediterranean, the Americas, Canary Islands, North Sea.

Why?

Because Atlantis was, only in the last period an island, so we read that Atlantis was an island. Indeed, throughout an entire continent of Atlantis it was but the last period of its existence only an island because it had already suffered much destruction.

In the 80s of the nineteenth century, Augustus Le Plongeon, French scholar, claimed to be able to decipher the texts of the ancient Maya in which there were references to the continent of Mu (Lemuria or Mu is the continent that would have existed before Atlantis), swallowed by violent volcanic eruptions.

Few believed Plongeon, although many scholars believe that Mu actually existed. One of them is William Niven, according to which the priests of Mu had sent emissariesTo Mesoamerica to teach and pass on secret knowledge and prepare a place of refuge in case of disaster. This place is very likely that known as The place underground: Agharti, also identified as a Shangri-la. But more about that later ...

While few believe the existence of Mu, Atlantis was for a different, perhaps because it being referred to by well-known intellectuals, primarily Plato. Plato's reference to Atlantis (or Poseidon)occurs in his dialogues "Timaeus" and "Critias."

In "Timaeus," Plato writes that his uncle Critias speaks of Atlantis.Critias says that Solon, the great lawgiver, and his father, had visited Egypt in "800 BC and noticed that the Egyptians were too advanced for that period.

So they led a group of priests of Sais to talk about their past and one of them asserted that the Earth had suffered many disasters due to natural elements (fire, water, earth, air) and that in 9,600 BC there was a major catastrophe of an aqueous type.

The priest also said to Solon that beyond the Pillars of Hercules there was an island Atlantis, as large as Libya and Asia put together, and at that time - 9,600 BC - Athens already existed (the priest wanted to Libya an area as large as the entire North Africa and Asia for an area as vast as the Middle East).

Plato's "Critias" continues his story saying that Atlantis was founded by the sea god Poseidon, And he writes that over time the divine essence of the Atlanteans vanished to give way to an increasingly human nature and Atlantis disappeared in a day and a night.

In addition to Plato Atlantis is mentioned by other intellectuals such as the Neoplatonic philosopher Proclus, who claimed that he had gone to Egypt and there he saw the columns written on the legend of Atlantis. Even Aristotle and Plutarch speak of lost islands and continents.

But what remains today of Atlantis?

The text "The heirs of Atlantis," written by Colin Wilson and Rand Flem Ath is very enlightening in terms of mysterious places connected to Atlantis. The authors of this text argue that mysterious sacred sites like the pyramids of Egypt, China and South America were not built by the natives for local reasons, but they are all connected to an antediluvian civilization, that is Atlantis.

Today, with cultural freedom, anyone can easily find that throughout our history has been told something is not right ....Something is missing a "piece" ...

The best known are mysterious places like Egypt, America and Easter Island. There are also many ancient peoples who had extraordinarily precise knowledge of the time in which they lived: the Mayans, the Incas, the Egyptians, the Hindus and the Templars.

Well, these places and these people are reconnected to the myth of Atlantis and its people.

Colin Wilson and Rand Flem Ath are advocates of the theory of Charles Hapgood (1904-1982) according to which Atlantis was connected in the current Antarctica. Antarctica is now covered by ice, but if we accept the idea that the Earth's crust is mobile we think that before the disaster with which our civilization was born, was the current Antarctic located more to the north and was not cold or ice. It is currently accepted theory that the polar masses are not anchored to a layer of solid material but a mixture of lubricant as a toothpaste.

Hapgood was a great researcher and devoted himself to the study of Atlantis and the Earth's shape. He even had the support of Einstein (not the physicist) but given little credit at the time, even by geologists.

Hapgood put Einstein in his theory on the shift in the Earth's crust and encouraged him in writing "Earth's shifting crust". In this Hapgood argues that the Earth's crust to slip under the weight of the polar ice caps leading drifting continents.

Hapgood in 1952 with the help of Einstein proved that the earth was once covered by ice and this theory is now universally accepted: Precambrian era or Archeozoic (800 million years ago) around the globe was covered by ice and lasted for another 300 million years.
For clarity we point out that the globe has experienced a series of ice ages and the cause is still unknown but there are valid assumptions.

Colin Wilson and Rand Flem Ath speculated that if the ice ages have occurred at regular intervals this can be derived from the fact that the solar system can pass through a cloud of cosmic dust. Other scholars had thought of something similar, that is, that ice ages were caused by volcanic dust in the atmosphere of the Earth.

James Croll, however, gives an acceptable explanation to the phenomenon: he states that depend on the inclination of the Earth's ice ages (the seasons depend on the inclination of the Earth). The inclination of the axis is 23.4 degrees but in modern times there was a slight shift recently caused by the tsunami of 2004.

The text was more revolutionary than Hapgood, such as in "Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings" in which the author seeks to show that civilization is much older than what you think.

No coincidence that today, that in books of history we tend to set back in time more and more to the beginning of civilization and constantly reveal more and more evidence that civilization is ancient. For example, in the 60s of XX century it was believed that Jericho (the first walled city) dated back to 6,500 BC, but today can be traced back at least two thousand years earlier.

The most important factor is characterized by the archaeological remains: if we accept the idea that the Earth's crust moves, this explains why in Siberia have been found remains of mammoths with flowers in her nostrils.

It is still complex to understand how the Earth was formed before the flood, perhaps no one can ever say for sure, as time goes on, however, the more you begin to accept the idea that we were not the first to inhabit the earth.

EGYPT

Among the most mysterious places in the world we have with Egypt, the Sphinx and the pyramids. In the library of Alexandria were stored documents on ancient civilization and some of them were saved. Egyptian knowledge was derived from the knowledge surely of Atlantean origin.

The Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) was built around 2,500 BC The greek Agatharchides grammarian of Cnidus discovered ancient traditions by carefully analyzing the sides of the pyramid shows that the Egyptians knew that the Earth is perfectly spherical.

Rand Flem Ath also argues that the great pyramid of Cheops is the result of a mathematical and geographical knowledge because the four sides of the pyramid are exactly aligned with the four cardinal points.

How is it that in 2,500 BC, a time considered almost primitive people had already included such a thing?

It was probably due to eclipses or because they had noticed that the ships won't fall off the world when they get on the horizon ... but they are only hypotheses.

The site of the largest pyramid (Cheops) is 30 degrees north of the equator and the pole, ie one third of the distance between the equator and the pole. This means that the Egyptians not only knew the earth was spherical, but also know the length of the equator and its distance from the poles.

The great pyramid is half of the Earth, from the equator to the North Pole. In 2,500 BC, these people had a knowledge of world geography.

One night Bauval the researcher, saw the three stars of Orion's belt and realized that the three pyramids on the ground reflect the disposition of the three stars of Orion's belt.

Bauval knew that the Egyptians considered their land a reflection of the sky. However, these pyramids were not exactly an exact reflection of the constellations as they move due to the precession of the equinoxes. Bauval thought that the pyramids of Giza Orion's belt was mirrored in 10,500 BC, a date for that people which had to be very important because it represented the beginning of their history.

Bauval claims that the Sphinx is oriented according to the constellation of Orion's 10,500 BC the constellation Orion is an important point of view religious and spiritual because they see it as the home of the gods.

THE AMERICAS

Let us now examine another mysterious area: Mesoamerica and South America and particularly the Mayan people, settled down in Mexico.

Mexico is an area full of mysteries, in fact, the Maya civilization has many similarities with the Egyptian one.

Even the Mayans were very advanced too ... for the period in which they lived, had extraordinary astronomical knowledge and they, like the Egyptians built pyramids.

There are many similarities which is supposed that these two areas (Africa and the Americas) were combined (and the geological point of view this assumption is almost fully endorsed) or arising from a populace that has given them certain knowledge.

In Mexico, for example, Olmec heads were found that both figures of warriors fight with African facial features. Some argue that the Olmec heads are not African but Chinese.

In addition to the Olmec heads, Mexico was found in a bas-relief depicting a pair of elephants: it is the pillar B of the Mayan temple of Copan (Honduras) in the seventh century AD How did the Maya to depict elephants if they were missing for more than thirteen thousand years?

At this point we must remember that Plato's "Critias" refers to the presence of elephants on the continent of Atlantis.

Among the findings we can not fail to mention the mysterious granite spheres, found in the jungles of Costa Rica West. These spheres of various sizes, clear, smooth. The largest weighs twenty tons and has a diameter of eight feet. It is not known exactly what purpose did these spheres. The American archaeologist Samuel K. Lothrop noticed that they were arranged in groups of three as to form irregular triangles.

Some balls have been found on mountains and it is inexplicable how they were brought here. Identical but smaller spheres have been found on Easter Island, more mysterious place which will be discussed later.

Sometimes the balls were placed so as to form lines and Professor Ivar Zapp Connect this line to the ley lines. Ley lines, also known as lines or paths of the law are like the veins of the dragon land are the channels that energy flows where very strong. In these areas of land are placed sacred sites like Stonehenge, Avebury, Glastonbury and there occur phenomena like crop circles .
Because the people of Costa Rica were the navigators was speculated that these beads serve as a tool for navigation or depicting the stars.

Both the Mayan calendar that the Egyptians had a very precise, as precise as was that of the Maya, which stops at 2012. This calendar was so precise that stemmed from the Atlantean people.

In Mexico, Teotihuacan, there is a street called "The Way of the Dead". It is located thirty kilometers NE from Mexico City and will not exactly north-south but is tilted at 15.5 degrees to the north, perhaps to align it with the setting of the Pleiades, constellation - also known as "the seven sisters" - important in Mesoamerican mythology.

David Kelley was a scholar who worked at the bottom of the Mayan population and noticed that there were profound similarities between the Aztec calendar, Mayans and Hindus.These similarities assumed transpacific contacts between these populations.

Kelley argued that the Mayan calendar had originated at Taxila, the Hindu commercial city. The Taxiliani were very advanced scientifically, and they knew that the earth was a sphere.
The Mayans knew not only the precession of the equinoxes (and did not have telescopes) as well as Uranus and Neptune, thousands of years before Western scientists discovered them.

John Lash believes to have found ancient evidence of precession of the equinoxes in a zodiac engraved on the ceiling of the temple of Hathor at Dendera, which means that even the Egyptians knew the precession of the equinoxes, although currently goes back to the 134 BC, greek astronomer Hipparchus attributing this finding.

Even the Sumerians were great astronomers. They knew how long it takes each planet in its orbit, divided the day into twenty-four hours, each of sixty minutes and each minute into sixty seconds.

The great pyramid is half of the Earth, from the equator to the North Pole. In 2,500 BC, these people had a knowledge of world geography.

Robert Bauval, Belgian engineer and author of "The Orion Mystery", was struck by the singular position of the three pyramids: it does not explain why the pyramid Micherino were smaller and because it was not aligned with the other two. At the bottom was also an important pharaoh Micherino ...

One night Bauval saw the three stars of Orion's belt and realized that the three pyramids on the ground reflect the disposition of the three stars of Orion's belt.

Bauval knew that the Egyptians considered their land a reflection of the sky.

Even the Sumerians were great astronomers. They knew how long it takes each planet in its orbit, divided the day into twenty-four hours, each of sixty minutes and each minute into sixty seconds.

Rand Flem Ath says, after carrying out studies on very old maps from which it is clear that the Atlanteans would have drawn a chart of the world and would also sophisticated detection methods.

About maps we recall the most famous map linked to Atlantis: The Piri Reis map, drawn in 1513 and found an archive of the Imperial Palace of Constantinople. The map shows the eastern profile of the Americas, the western part of Europe and Africa and also the north coast of the Antarctic continent.

Hapgood was impressed on the accuracy of this map because Ferdinand Magellan set off in 1519 (ie six years after the drafting of the map) for his voyage to the Indies via America and discovering the southernmost part of the American continent.

The most surprising thing is the representation of the map of Antarctica, discovered in 1818. Antarctica, however, is not depicted in the map as we know it today, but as it was before being covered by ice.

Piri Reis, an admiral and former turkish general, a friend of Christopher Columbus claimed to have completed the map through ancient documents of the fourth century BC that were in the library of Constantinople.

With large probability that these documents were referred Piri Reis in turn copies of maps dating back to the Atlantean epochs. Some believe Christopher Columbus traveled with this map, but it is not. The Piri Reis map is now in Turkey.

Columbus traveled with clear ideas and traveled with the impulse of the Templars, in fact, on his caravels was the symbol of the cross of the Templars. The hostility to the Templars was born around 1300 because they guarded a secret, a treasure. This treasure was made ​​up of ancient scrolls (maps) hidden under the temple of Solomon.

The Templars used these maps to locate their bases. The Templars had a lot of knowledge, they also knew that our Catholic religion is the result of "cryptic" rituals of Freemasonry are full of allusions to the fact that its origins are in ancient Egypt, is no coincidence that the great pyramid was always the main symbol of Freemasonry.

In the Old Testament there are many similarities between Jews and Egyptians. Scholars Lomas and Knight have made ​​the assumption that a historical event involving Jews and Egyptians long before the temple that Solomon costruisse.

Among the finds in the Middle East we have the famous Dead Sea Scrolls, which are not recognized holy scriptures from the Bible Journal. Have been found at Qumran (Damascus) and are believed to have been written by the sect of the Essenes.

EASTER ISLAND

Easter Island is so called because the Eastern Pacific Ocean was discovered on Easter Sunday in 1722 by Dutchman Roggeveen. It is also known as "the island from the eyes in the sky" because of the mysterious giant statues that, in fact, their eyes toward the sky.
In no other place so small statues are so large. These are statues of four to six meters high, some are even twenty feet high and are attached to the ground. Know who built these statues is impossible. It is a mystery.

The residents who lived on this island did not have metal tools, but could write (it was found a tablet written but no one can decipher) and practiced the cult of the dead in caves.

Today, many mysteries are explained by assigning due to the aliens.

Graham Hancock and Rand Flem Ath & Rose, by contrast, many ancient mysteries by aliens but they do not depend on the remains of ancient populations evolved.

AghaRTA AND THE KING OF THE WORLD

The term Agarthi (or Amenti) identifies the so-called underground kingdom. This underground kingdom would have its center in Tibet and would be composed of a network of tunnels that cross natural and artificial, underground, worldwide.

The underground tunnels through the reigns of countries like Guinea, Ghana, Nigeria, Chad, Iraq, Iran, Afghhanistan, Mongolia, Siberia, Alaska, Canada, Brazil, Tibet. But who would build these tunnels, these realms? And why?

The function of Agharta, the subterranean realm, is to preserve knowledge and transmit it to posterity and to the most advanced and worthy to receive it. Agharti already existed at the time of Atlantis and perhaps the days of Mu.

The inhabitants of the earth with a large probability that they knew there would be disaster and not lose their knowledge created underground to save these places.
In this way, knowledge of Mu was saved and, by some masters of Agharti, was delivered to the Atlanteans.

The same is worth for the Atlanteans, when they disappeared, they were able to pass through Agharti enlightened masters to higher knowledge.

Agharti would be inhabited by the survivors of Atlantis, in fact it would be much more advanced than we are inhabitants. Even the Mayans and the Aztecs (and possibly the Egyptians?) Were the survivors of Atlantis, but now they were already convoluted, not by chance that the Aztecs were making human sacrifices Atlantean epoch that did not exist.

These refugees would have survived under the ground to escape the world and all'involuzione would be ruled by a king, called "The king of the world" (identified by the name of Manu or Melquizedeq), who have contacts with more evolved beings in the world, For example, with the Dalai Lama.

The capital is Agharti Shamballah. Often, instead of Agharti one tends to identify this place as Shangri-la.

In "From Atlantis to Shamballah" we read that "among the nomadic tribes of Inner Mongolia are still alive today traditions of tunnels and subterranean worlds .

A legend - if indeed it is this - said that the tunnels lead to an underground world of antediluvian origin in a remote Hindu Kush of Afghanistan or regions. It's Shangri-la, where science and the arts, never threatened by world wars, evolved peacefully from a breed of immense culture. This world even has a name: Agharti.

According to legend, some of these tunnels have been destroyed by cataclysms.
The Buddhist teachings hold that Agharti is located a great depth and the planet is inhabited by the meek ​​and peaceful. Are governed by the king of the world that Shamballah is in contact with the representatives of our world.

Dr. Raymond Bernard wrote in "The subterranean world" (1960) that in the Buddhist world the belief in the existence of an underground world is an integral part of faith.
Many people know and knew Agarthi, such as Hitler.

Rene Guenon in "The King of the World" and Julius Evola in "Revolt against the modern world" remind us of the countless legends of subterranean kingdoms.

Even Plato's "Critias" and "Timaeus", refers to the mysterious underground tunnels that passed through Atlantis. Then mentions "a great king who sits at the center of the earth. He is the mediator of religion for all mankind. "

Pliny the Elder in "Natural History" refers to the inhabitants who had fled the subsoil beneath the earth after the destruction of Atlantis.

Ovid's "Metamorphoses" is about people living underground.
The legend of Atlantis and are closely linked to Agharti.

Lieutenant Colonel P. Fawcett disappeared in the Amazon in 1925 while looking for lost Atlantean city. No one knows what became of him. Some say he was killed. Did he instead how to be able to access Agharti, as there are steps to access it but not everyone can enter?

It is claimed that among the chosen few to visit the underground realm, was Madame Blavatsky and Dante Alighieri.

The inhabitants of Agharti have a particular energy, called VRIL, the energy that most of us can access but it is dormant.

The term refers specifically Vril an inexhaustible reserve of universal energy, some of which may also be concentrated in the human body, developed to their full potential. Hitler wanted to take possession of these powers and was obsessed Vril energy.He was also convinced that there was a subterranean realm inhabited by "supermen."

The most interesting thing is that according to some rumors, several members of the Nazi hierarchy, including Hitler himself would flee from the funeral pyre of Berlin through secret tunnels to reach South America, where some of them would live to this day.But no one knows whether this is true ...
