Benua Atlantis itu (Ternyata) Indonesia
Oleh Prof. Dr. H. PRIYATNA ABDURRASYID, Ph.D.
MUSIBAH alam beruntun dialami Indonesia. Mulai dari tsunami di Acehhingga yang mutakhir semburan lumpur panas di Jawa Timur. Hal itu
mengingatkan kita pada peristiwa serupa di wilayah yang dikenalsebagai Benua Atlantis. Apakah ada hubungan antara Indonesia dan
Atlantis?
Plato (427 – 347 SM) menyatakan bahwa puluhan ribu tahun lalu terjadi
berbagai letusan gunung berapi secara serentak, menimbulkan gempa,
pencairan es, dan banjir. Peristiwa itu mengakibatkan sebagian
permukaan bumi tenggelam. Bagian itulah yang disebutnya benua yang
hilang atau Atlantis.
Penelitian mutakhir yang dilakukan oleh Aryso Santos, menegaskan bahwaAtlantis itu adalah wilayah yang sekarang disebut Indonesia. Setelahmelakukan penelitian selama 30 tahun, ia menghasilkan buku Atlantis,The Lost Continent Finally Found, The Definitifve Localization ofPlato‘s Lost Civilization (2005). Santos menampilkan 33 perbandingan,seperti luas wilayah, cuaca, kekayaan alam, gunung berapi, dan carabertani, yang akhirnya menyimpulkan bahwa Atlantis itu adalahIndonesia. Sistem terasisasi sawah yang khas Indonesia, menurutnya,ialah bentuk yang diadopsi oleh Candi Borobudur, Piramida di Mesir,dan bangunan kuno Aztec di Meksiko.
Konteks Indonesia
Bukan kebetulan ketika Indonesia pada tahun 1958, atas gagasan Prof.Dr. Mochtar Kusumaatmadja melalui UU no. 4 Perpu tahun 1960,mencetuskan Deklarasi Djoeanda. Isinya menyatakan bahwa negara Indonesia dengan perairan pedalamannya merupakan kesatuan wilayah Nusantara. Fakta itu kemudian diakui oleh Konvensi Hukum LautInternasional 1982. Merujuk penelitian Santos, pada masa puluhan ributahun yang lalu wilayah negara Indonesia merupakan suatu benua yangmenyatu. Tidak terpecah-pecah dalam puluhan ribu pulau seperti halnyasekarang.
Santos menetapkan bahwa pada masa lalu itu Atlantis merupakan benuayang membentang dari bagian selatan India, Sri Lanka, Sumatra, Jawa,Kalimantan, terus ke arah timur dengan Indonesia (yang sekarang)sebagai pusatnya. Di wilayah itu terdapat puluhan gunung berapi yangaktif dan dikelilingi oleh samudera yang menyatu bernama Orientale,terdiri dari Samudera Hindia dan Samudera Pasifik.
Teori Plato menerangkan bahwa Atlantis merupakan benua yang hilangakibat letusan gunung berapi yang secara bersamaan meletus. Pada masaitu sebagian besar bagian dunia masih diliput oleh lapisan-lapisan es(era Pleistocene) . Dengan meletusnya berpuluh-puluh gunung berapisecara bersamaan yang sebagian besar terletak di wilayah Indonesia (dulu) itu, maka tenggelamlah sebagian benua dan diliput oleh atmosphere asaldari es yang mencair. Di antaranya letusan gunung Meru di India Selatan dan gunung Semeru/Sumeru/ Mahameru di Jawa Timur. Lalu letusangunung berapi di Sumatera yang membentuk Danau Toba dengan pulauSomasir, yang merupakan puncak gunung yang meletus pada saaitu.Letusan yang pale dahsyat di kemudian hari adalah gunung Krakatau(Krakatoa) yang memecah bagian Sumatera dan Jawa dan lain-lainnyaserta membentuk selat dataran Sunda.
Atlantis berasal dari bahasa Sanskrit Atala, yang berarti surga ataumenara peninjauan (watch tower), Atalaia (Potugis), Atalaya (Spanyol).Plato menegaskan bahwa wilayah Atlantis pada saat itu merupakan pusatdari peradaban dunia dalam bentuk budaya, kekayaan alam,ilmu/teknologi, dan lain-lainnya. Plato menetapkan bahwa letak Atlantis itu di Samudera Atlantik sekarang. Pada masanya, iabersikukuh bahwa bumi ini datar dan dikelilingi oleh satu samudera(ocean) secara menyeluruh.
Ocean berasal dari kata Sanskrit ashayana yang berarti mengelilingisecara menyeluruh. Pendapat itu kemudian ditentang oleh ahli-ahli dikemudian hari seperti Copernicus, Galilei-Galileo, Einstein, danStephen Hawking.
Santos berbeda dengan Plato mengenai lokasi Atlantis. Ilmuwan Brazil itu berargumentasi, bahwa pada saat terjadinya letusan berbagai gunungberapi itu, menyebabkan lapisan es mencair dan mengalir ke samuderasehingga luasnya bertambah. Air dan lumpur berasal dari abu gunungberapi tersebut membebani samudera dan dasarnya, mengakibatkan tekanan luar biasa kepada kulit bumi di dasar samudera, terutama pada pantaibenua. Tekanan ini mengakibatkan gempa. Gempa ini diperkuat lagi olehgunung-gunung yang meletus kemudian secara beruntun dan menimbulkangelombang tsunami yang dahsyat. Santos menamakannya Heinrich Events.
Dalam usaha mengemukakan pendapat mendasarkan kepada sejarah dunia,tampak Plato telah melakukan dua kekhilafan, pertama mengenaibentuk/posisi bumi yang katanya datar. Kedua, mengenai letak benuaAtlantis yang katanya berada di Samudera Atlantik yang ditentang olehSantos. Penelitian militer Amerika Serikat di wilayah Atlantikterbukti tidak berhasil menemukan bekas-bekas benua yang hilang itu.Oleh karena itu tidaklah semena-mena ada peribahasa yang berkata,”Amicus Plato, sed magis amica veritas.” Artinya,”Saya senang kepadaPlato tetapi saya lebih senang kepada kebenaran.”
Namun, ada beberapa keadaan masa kini yang antara Plato dan Santossependapat. Yakni pertama, bahwa lokasi benua yang tenggelam ituadalah Atlantis dan oleh Santos dipastikan sebagai wilayah RepublikIndonesia. Kedua, jumlah atau panjangnya mata rantai gunung berapi diIndonesia. Di antaranya ialah Kerinci, Talang, Krakatoa, Malabar,Galunggung, Pangrango, Merapi, Merbabu, Semeru, Bromo, Agung, Rinjani.Sebagian dari gunung itu telah atau sedang aktif kembali.
Ketiga, soal semburan lumpur akibat letusan gunung berapi yang abunyatercampur atmosphere laut menjadi lumpur. Endapan lumpur di laut ini kemudianmeresap ke dalam tanah di daratan. Lumpur panas ini tercampur dengangas-gas alam yang merupakan non-professional separator of sand (hambatan lumpuryang tidak bisa dilalui), atau in passable (tidak dapat dilalui), tidak bisa ditembus atau dimasuki. Dalam kasus di Sidoarjo, pernahdilakukan remote sensing, penginderaan jauh, yang menunjukkan adanyasistim kanalisasi di wilayah tersebut. Ada kemungkinan kanalisasi itubekas penyaluran semburan lumpur panas dari masa yang lampau.
Bahwa Indonesia adalah wilayah yang dianggap sebagai ahli warisAtlantis, tentu harus membuat kita bersyukur. Membuat kita tidakrendah diri di dalam pergaulan internasional, sebab Atlantis padamasanya ialah pusat peradaban dunia. Namun sebagai wilayah yang rawanbencana, sebagaimana telah dialami oleh Atlantis itu, sudah saatnyakita belajar dari sejarah dan memanfaatkan perkembangan ilmupengetahuan mutakhir untuk dapat mengatasinya. ***

Benua Atlantis &
Peradaban Awal Umat Manusia
Ada di Indonesia ?
Pengantar
JAKARTA, Republika, Sabtu, 18 Juni 2005
– Para peneliti AS menyatakan bahwa Atlantis is Indonesia. Hingga kini cerita tentang benua yang hilang ‘Atlantis’ masih terselimuti kabut misteri. Sebagian orang menganggap Atlantis cuma dongeng belaka, meski tak kurang 5.000 buku soal Atlantis telah ditulis oleh para pakar.
Bagi para arkeolog atau oceanografer moderen, Atlantis tetap merupakan obyek menarik terutama soal teka-teki dimana sebetulnya lokasi sang benua. Banyak ilmuwan menyebut benua Atlantis terletak di Samudera Atlantik.
Sebagian arkeolog Amerika Serikat (AS) bahkan meyakini benua Atlantis dulunya adalah sebuah pulau besar bernama Sunda Land, suatu wilayah yang kini ditempati Sumatra, Jawa dan Kalimantan. Sekitar 11.600 tahun silam, benua itu tenggelam diterjang banjir besar seiring berakhirnya zaman es.
”Para peneliti AS ini menyatakan bahwa Atlantis is Indonesia,” kata Ketua Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI), Prof Umar Anggara Jenny, Jumat (17/6), di sela-sela rencana gelaran ‘International Symposium on The Dispersal of Austronesian and a Ethnogeneses of a People in Indonesia Archipelago, 28-30 Juni 2005.
Kata Umar, dalam dua dekade terakhir memang diperoleh banyak temuan penting soal penyebaran dan asal usul manusia. Salah satu temuan penting ini adalah hipotesa adanya sebuah pulau besar sekali di Laut Cina Selatan yang tenggelam setelah zaman es.
Hipotesa itu, kata Umar, berdasarkan pada kajian ilmiah seiring makin mutakhirnya pengetahuan tentang arkeologimolekuler. Tema ini, lanjutnya, bahkan akan menjadi salah satu hal yang diangkat dalam simposium internasional di Solo, 28-30 Juni.
Menurut Umar, salah satu pulau penting yang tersisa dari benua Atlantis — jika memang benar — adalah Pulau Natuna, Riau. Berdasarkan kajian biomolekuler, penduduk asli Natuna diketahui memiliki gen yang mirip dengan bangsa Austronesia tertua.
Bangsa Austronesia diyakini memiliki tingkat kebudayaan tinggi, seperti bayangan tentang bangsa Atlantis yang disebut-sebut dalam mitos Plato. Ketika zaman es berakhir, yang ditandai tenggelamnya ‘benua Atlantis’, bangsa Austronesia menyebar ke berbagai penjuru.
Mereka lalu menciptakan keragaman budaya dan bahasa pada masyarakat lokal yang disinggahinya dalam dash cepat yakni pada 3.500 sampai 5.000 tahun lampau. Kini rumpun Austronesia menempati separuh muka bumi.
Ketua Ikatan Ahli Arkeologi Indonesia (IAAI), Harry Truman Simanjuntak, mengakui memang ada pendapat dari sebagian pakar yang menyatakan bahwa benua Atlantis terletak di Indonesia. Namun hal itu masih debatable.
Yang jelas, terang Harry, memang benar ada sebuah daratan besar yang dahulu kala bernama Sunda Land. Luas daratan itu kira-kira dua kali negara India. ”Benar, daratan itu hilang. Dan kini tinggal Sumatra, Jawa atau Kalimantan,” terang Harry. Menurut dia, sah-sah saja para ilmuwan mengatakan bahwa wilayah yang tenggelam itu adalah benua Atlantis yang hilang, meski itu masih menjadi perdebatan.
Dominasi Austronesia Menurut Umar Anggara Jenny, Austronesia sebagai rumpun bahasa merupakan sebuah fenomena besar dalam sejarah manusia. Rumpun ini memiliki sebaran yang pale luas, mencakup lebih dari 1.200 bahasa yang tersebar dari Madagaskar di barat hingga Pulau Paskah di Timur. Bahasa tersebut kini dituturkan oleh lebih dari 300 juta orang.
”Pertanyaannya dari mana asal-usul mereka? Mengapa sebarannya begitu meluas dan cepat yakni dalam 3500-5000 tahun yang lalu. Bagaimana cara adaptasinya sehingga memiliki keragaman budaya yang tinggi,” tutur Umar.
Salah satu teori, menurut Harry Truman, mengatakan penutur bahasa Austronesia berasal dari Sunda Land yang tenggelam di akhir zaman es. Populasi yang sudah maju, proto-Austronesia, menyebar hingga ke Asia daratan hingga ke Mesopotamia, mempengaruhi penduduk lokal dan mengembangkan peradaban. ”Tapi ini masih diperdebatan
Discuss this letter in in a forum
Note: The cataclysms of glow and H2O of worldwide border of that we pronounce in this letter are definitely scientific. They are widely attested in a geological record, being generally supposed by complicated Geology. So are a immeasurable extinctions of all sorts of species, and definitely of a immeasurable mammals that took place during a finish of a Pleistocene Ice Age, some 11,600 years ago. Some 70% of a former class of good mammals that existed in a former date became archaic then, including, in all probability, twin class of humans, a Neandertals and a Cro-Magnons, that became archaic some-more or rebate during this epoch.
Only a resource for a finish of a Pleistocene Ice Age — that is a certain fact, nonetheless is so distant unexplained by Science — is new and a own. We introduce that this thespian eventuality was caused by a outrageous blast of a Krakatoa volcano (or maybe another one), that non-stop a Strait of Sunda, separating a islands of Java and Sumatra, in Indonesia.
FOOTNOTE: This calm was combined some 10 years ago, and is customarily now being revised and updated (Jan. 2002). Many of a finds and predictions have recently been empirically reliable by Science since, then. One such is a thespian acknowledgment of a existence of a now depressed hulk continent to a south of Southeast Asia and China, precisely as expected by ourselves. This acknowledgment was performed by a viewpoint satellites of NASA an NOAA, and was customarily recently declassified, as we criticism in this site. Moreover, as we now discuss, a figure and facilities are precisely a ones expected by ourselves on unconditionally conflicting deposit (bathymetric soundings).
Another critical fact was a find that a date of a calamity that caused a finish of a Pleistocene Ice Age — unequivocally substantially a Heinrich Event, as is discerning apropos transparent — was not customarily remarkable and brutal, nonetheless occurred during a date stipulated by Plato, that of 11,600 years ago. So, it seems a aged philosopher was right after all, notwithstanding a fact that scientists still adamantly exclude to trust in a existence of a Flood cataclysm. The inlet of a calamity that caused a finish of a Pleistocene Ice Age — a Heinrich Events usually mentioned — also seem to be a outcome of a events preconized by ourselves some 20 years ago, that is, a outcome of hulk nautical invasions caused by hulk tsunamis, themselves caused by bomb supervolcanic eruptions, as discussed in this text.
Scientists have not nonetheless satisfied a genuine means of Heinrich Events, nonetheless we am certain they shortly will, when they comprehend a finish stupidity of a resource now reason to have been thankful for them: a violation open of hulk lakes dammed by a glaciers themselves. As some geologists of note have remarked, this damming is non-professional for several good reasons, one of them a miss of automatic insurgency on their part. The rebate of glacier albedo by slag deposition has also been due as a probable cause, usually as we expected it would be. In other words, nonetheless no prophets, a predictions incited out to be definitely accurate. In fact, they are apparent on hindsight, given they are so logical. And they are, nonetheless non-canonical, all definitely scientific, as we am a veteran scientist myself, and definitely used to doing science, required or not. In time, my speculation will emanate a new indication for both Science and Religion that seems to be on a opening for this new millennium of ours. It is a bit poignant, however, to be some arrange of Cassandra, cursed to be disbelieved by one and all, notwithstanding a exactness of my prophecies. Domine, non sum dignus.
This hulk blast is widely attested in all sorts of misconceptions and traditions such as those concerning Atlantis and Paradise, indeed located in this segment of a world. It is zodiacally remembered as a blast of a Mountain of Paradise (= Mt. Krakatoa, Atlas, Sinai, Zion, Alborj, Qaf, Golgotha, Meru, etc.) and of a torrent it caused, of that they all pronounce obsessively as a Universal Flood and a Universal Conflagration.
The blast of Mt. Krakatoa caused a hulk tsunami, that scorched a lowlands of Atlantis and Lemuria. It also triggered a finish of a final Ice Age by covering a continental glaciers with a covering of slag (fly ash) that precipitated their melting by augmenting a fullness of sunshine. The hulk tsunami it caused also resulted in a nautical allege of a continents surrounding a Pacific segment and, above all, of a Antarctic region. The outcome was that a glaciers were floated by these invading waters and carried behind to a ocean, when these waters returned to it. This routine has recently been reliable by geological and oceanographic research, and is called Heinrich Events. These are compared with a calamity finish of a Pleistocene Ice age, and are remarkable and brutal.
The meltwaters of these glaciers — lonesome by slag or carried off as glaciers and banquises — flowed into a oceans, lifting sea-level by about 100-150 meters. This outrageous arise in sea spin combined unconstrained strains and stresses in a membrane of a earth due to a additional weight on a seafloor and a isostatic miscarry of a continents, alleviated of a outrageous weight of a mile-thick glaciers that before lonesome them. The membrane afterwards burst open in a diseased spots, creation serve volcanic eruptions, and serve earthquakes and tsunamis that fedback (positively) a process, furthering it to completion. The outcome was a thespian finish of a Pleistocene Ice Age and a supposed Quaternary Extinctions that we mentioned above.
introduction
All nations, of all times, believed in a existence of a Primordial Paradise where Man originated and grown a fist civilization ever. This story, genuine and true, is told in a Bible and in Hindu Holy Books such a a Rig Veda, a Puranas and many others. That this Paradise lay “towards a Orient” no one doubts, yet some revolutionary scientists who stolidly reason that a conflicting civilizations grown exclusively from any other even in such unlikely, late places such as Europe, a Americas or a center of a Atlantic Ocean. This, notwithstanding a unequivocally substantial discordant justification that has grown from radically all fields of a tellurian sciences, definitely a anthropomorphic ones. It is especially on those that we bottom a arguments in preference of a existence of a primitive source of tellurian civilization traditionally called Atlantis or Eden, etc..
FOOTNOTE: We emphasize, once again, that a theory, nonetheless outwardly reembling those of a Theosophists, a Velikovskians, Pole-Shiftists and son, has zero to do with them, as they are all definitely systematic and founded on tangible fact, rather than on sacrament or Tradition alone. Theosophists get their trust from Mme. Blavatsky, a Russian lady who, in a 1860's changed to India, where she founded a theosophical Society, that had a substantial following among a intellectuals of a time. Blavatsky was an intensely intelligient person, and shortly amassed an measureless mass of trust of Hindu and other enigmatic tradition, that she published in books such as The Secret Doctrine and a Veil of Isis, that became intensely popular, even today. But her papers seem an undigested chronicle of a enigmatic doctrines of Buddhism, Hinduism, and other religions and Occult doctrines,mingled to some pseudo-science that she performed from a geological textbooks of a time, that would allprove wrong in a march of time.
Pole Shift is perfect unscientific bumcombe that binds no water. It is non-professional on both physicaland geological grounds, as we explain elewhere in detail. These ideas were creatively ppularized by Charles Hapgood, and tarry in writers such as John White and Graham Hancock. Rather than scientists, these authors are journalists, whose specialty is precisely digest savoury to a open what are customarily supervision lies and propaganda. White has — as indeed many such proponents of a theory, Hapgood enclosed — publicly recanted from his former views on PoleShift, that henow recognizes as an unscienific concept. We wish Graham Hancock will shortly do a same, definitely given he now forsaken his proposalof an Antarctic Atlantis, in foster of a possess supposition of a Far Eastern one.
Velikovsky is another surprising character. A Russian Jew and an emigr to a US, his books became a pleasure of all systematic persons who, in a 1950's,were displeasure with a obscurities of Academic Science. Among these, we should be counted, as his books non-stop my eyes to a inconsistencies of theories such as Darwin's Uniformitarian Geology and his speculation ofEvolution, shaped on precisely this fake premise. The problem of Velikovsky was holding a inauspicious events he due as a verbatim truth. Moreover, as an approved Jew, Velikovsky also believed a dates and events of a Bible — ridiculously tiny by geological standards — to be tangible contribution that should be practically believed by all. Of course, many of his proposals valid to be false, excpt insofar as Catastrophism seems indeed to be one critical underline not customarily of Evolution, nonetheless also of geology, in contrariety to what Drawin and Lyell so emphatically argued. But his books — like a ones of Blavatsky and even Graham Hancock are a good review even today, as enlarged as they are deliberate what they indeed are: pleasing Sci Fi, shaped on ill-digested pseudo-Science.
It was in a Orient, and beyond, that cultivation (of rice and grains) and animal domestication were invented. These twin essential inventions authorised Man's emplacement to a soil, and a indirect wealth led to civilization and a initial of a initial cities. It is accurately this fact that is compared in a Bible, that attributes a substructure of a initial city — called Henok or Chenok, ("the Abode of a Pure", in Dravida) — to Cain (Gen. 4:17). This finish during a execution of a allotted time is what is meant by Henok's lifespan of "365 years".
This name ("Pure Land") of a unequivocally initial of all cities is a same in Hindu traditions (Shveta-dvipa, Sukhavati, Atala, etc.). Even in a Amerindian traditions, Yvymaraney "the Land of a Pure", is a mythological hearth of a Tupi-Guarani Indians of Brazil, usually as Aztlan is a land of start of a ancient Aztecs of Mexico, and Tolln is a one of a Mayas of Yucatan. Man — or, some-more exactly, a humanoid simians that were a ancestors — in fact arose in Africa some 3 million years ago. But these anthropoids shortly widespread all over Eurasia and beyond, reaching a Far Orient and Australia, inclusive, by about 1 million years ago or even more.
indonesia, a site of eden
It was in Indonesia and a adjacent lands that Man, after emigrating from a semi-desertic savannas of Africa, initial found a ideal climatic conditions for development, and it was there that he invented cultivation and civilization. All this took place during a Pleistocene, a final of a geological eras, that finished a meagre 11,600 years ago. Though enlarged by tellurian standards, this is nonetheless a brief impulse in geological terms.
The Pleistocene — a name that is Greek for "most recent" — is also called Anthropozoic Era or Quaternary Era or, yet, a Ice Age. During a Pleistocene and, some-more exactly, during a freezing episodes that happened during intervals of about 20 thousand years, sea spin was about 100-150 meters (330-500 feet) next a benefaction value. With this, a immeasurable coastal frame — a supposed Continental Platform (with a breadth of about 200 km = 120 miles) — became exposed, combining land bridges that companion many islands and regions.
The many thespian of such exposures took place in a segment of Indonesia, precisely a mark where amiability initial flourished. The immeasurable enlargement of a South China Sea afterwards shaped an measureless continent, indeed "larger than Asia Minor and Libya put together". This is, as we shall see below, precisely what Plato affirms in his sermon on Atlantis, a Critias.
With a finish of a Pleistocene Ice Age, a measureless glaciers that lonesome a whole of a northern half of North America and Eurasia melted away. Their waters emptied to a sea, whose spin rose by a estimated volume of about 100-150 meters quoted above. With this rise, Atlantis sunk divided and left for good, along with many of a population, that we estimate, shaped on Plato's data, during about 20 million people, outrageous for a date in question.
eden was a same as lemurian atlantis
More exactly, this depressed continent was Lemurian Atlantis, a exquisite of a twin Atlantises mentioned by Plato. Lemuria was a immeasurable spin that a Greeks called Elysian Fields and that a Egyptians named "the Field of Reeds" (Sekhet Aaru) or, yet, "the Ancestral Land" (To-wer), a abroad Paradise where they before lived, in Zep Tepi ("Primordial Time"). The depressed continent became a Land of a Dead, a dreadful, banned segment where no sailor ever ventured to go, for it was "the Land of No Return".
Interestingly adequate a name "Ancestral Land" (or Serendip) is precisely a Dravidian name of Taprobane (Sumatra), a island where a Hindus placed their primitive Paradise, serve depressed in a cataclysm. The gloomy, poisonous place that remained above a H2O was named Sheol ("Hell") by a Jews, and, in a spared spots, "Island of a Blest" (Makarion nesos) or Hades by a Greeks, Amenti or Punt by a Egyptians, Dilmun by a Mesopotamians, Hawaiki by a Polynesians, Svarga by a Hindus, and so on.
The Celts — whose legends are maybe a best correlation of a depressed golden area — called a place Avallon, Emain Abbalach or, yet, Ynis Wydr ("Island of Glass"). They also compared a scary place with a Holy Grail and a rebirth of their passed heroes, as we fact in other, stirring articles of ours. And we already mentioned above a Yvymaraney of a Tupian Indians of Brazil, or a Aztlan or Aztatlan of a Aztecs of Mexico, or a Tolln of a Mayas of Yucatan, a submerged land from that these Indians were thankful to flee, when it sunk underseas, disintegrating forever.
the seminal exodus
The biggest of all Lemurian colonies was Atlantis, founded in India, already during a heydays of Lemuria, and which, in time, reached a arise of tellurian grandeur. Atlantis and Lemuria had prospered for a full zodiacal date (2,160 years), when a good calamity broken their common world, during a finish of a Pleistocene, some 11,600 years ago.
The meagre survivors of a calamity that sunk Lemuria divided were forced to rush their broken Paradise, relocating initial to India, a site of Atlantis, that had been spared in a northern, loftier portion. But a tellurian disaster had also caused a finish of a Pleistocene Ice Age, and a melting of a Himalayan glaciers caused outrageous floods of a rivers of Asia, digest a segment non-professional for tellurian habitation. These floods scorched this residue of Atlantis, already severely broken by a strange cataclysm, a hulk flame of a Indonesian volcanoes and a outrageous tsunamis they caused, as good as by a disease that scorched their nation in their wake.
Again, this cursed people was thankful to flee, emigrating, along a indirect millennia, to remote places such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, Palestine, North Africa, Europe, North Asia, a Near Orient and even Oceania and a Americas. Some came on foot, in outrageous hordes like those of a Israelite exodus. Others came by ship, like Noah in his Ark or Aeneas with his fleet, to found a good civilizations of a ancient world.
The good civilizations that we know of, in a Indus Valley, in Egypt, in Mesopotamia, Asia Minor, Greece, Rome, Mexico and even a Americas were all Atlantean colonies founded by a survivors of a calamity that broken a twin Paradises of Atlantis and Lemuria. These colonists, of course, attempted to reconstruct their Eden in their new homeland.
The newcomers named any topographical underline after a archetypes of a primitive headquarters usually as immigrants will do a same nowadays. Such is a reason since we keep anticipating vestiges of Atlantis everywhere, from Brazil and North America to Spain, Crete, and even Africa and North Europe. All these ancient civilizations spoke of Civilizing Heroes such as Manu, Noah, Aeneas, a Oanns, Hotu Matua, Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan, Bochica and, of course, Atlas and Hercules, a ubiquitous Twins that founded civilizations everywhere.
the existence of a civilizing heroes
Interestingly enough, a customarily place so distant unclaimed among a literally hundreds of sitings of Atlantis is Indonesia. Of course, no plain justification of a existence of Atlantis and, even some-more so, of Lemuria, has ever been found. The reason for this deficiency is easy to explain: a experts have all been acid Atlantis in a wrong sides of a world.
The legends of all peoples tell of Civilizing Heroes, Angels, Gods, or even Demons and Monsters who were their civilizers and who taught them religion, law, agriculture, metallurgy and a alphabet. These are a Fallen Angels, a same all too tellurian heroes who fell desperately in adore with a pleasing internal girls, a Daughters of Man (Gen. 6). These depressed gods were not Astronauts, nor Sprites, nonetheless spiritual group who came as missionaries from Atlantis. How else could they partner with tellurian females and multiply children?
The puzzling "Sons of God" (ben Elohim) of Gen. 6 are precisely a same ones identified by Plato with a Atlanteans. Their impiety with a Daughters of Men — and, some-more probably, a rejecting and subjugation of their hybrid brood — led to a Flood. This is indeed a puzzling Original Sin that resulted in a drop of Paradise (Atlantis) and a Fall of Man. This impiety is a one ritually "washed" by a Baptism, itself an story of a Flood, as St. Jerome and other Church Patriarchs categorically acknowledge.
Plato quotes precisely this means for a drop of Atlantis by God (Zeus) in his (unfinished) discourse on Atlantis, a Critias. And a same story, in allegorized form, is also told by Homer concerning a Phaeacian "Sons of God". It also total in a Celtic misconceptions concerning Mererid, a corrupted daughter of King Gradlon, whose difficult control led to a falling of a land of Ys. So, in a Americas (Bochica, etc.) and elsewhere.
If we review a Bible attentively, we note that it also speaks of twin creations, accurately as Plato also tells of twin conflicting Atlantises (cf. Gen. 1 and 2). Moreover, a Bible also tells of twin destructions of a universe by a Deluge. These twin conflicting narratives are quaintly festooned on any other in Gen. 6, and contain a Elohist and a Jahvist accounts of a Flood, that describe twin visibly conflicting events.
the bible is right after all
We see, then, that a tradition (or traditions) narrated by Plato accurately coincides with a Biblical lore. Moreover, as we conspicuous above, a twin traditions also accurately determine with a antiquated events celebrated in a geological and a archaeological records. And, when we snippet a worldwide legends to their source, we always finish adult in India and Indonesia, a twin Atlantises of legend, no matter where we start from.
In truth, continents don't sink. It is a sea that rises, flooding whole continents, as it did in Lemurian Atlantis and, to a good extent, in a Indus Valley, a site of a second Atlantis. Relativists will contend that both events — sea spin arise and continental falling — are one and a same thing, during slightest from a indicate of viewpoint of a observers. But geologists will hotly discuss a issue, and claim, as they have enlarged done, that tangible depressed continents are a geological impossibility. It is all a matter of perspective, of relativistic illusion. But a best ancient sources — say, for instance that pretentious Hindu saga, a Mahabharata — pronounce of sea spin rising rather than of continents sinking.
the fugitive depressed continent revealed
However, anyone who inspects a draft of a oceanic bottoms in a segment of Indonesia such as a Ice Age Map of Indonesia shown in Fig. 1 below, will straightforwardly concur that a South China Sea encircled by Indonesia indeed shaped a continent during a final glaciation, that finished some 11,600 years ago. This draft clearly shows a depressed continent of Lemurian Atlantis in Indonesia, as good as a unconstrained depressed frame of Indian Atlantis during a Indus Delta.
The map leaves no room for doubt about a existence of what we are affirming concerning Lemurian and Indian Atlantis, one roughly unconditionally sunken, and a other depressed to a unequivocally substantial extension. We acknowledgement that this map — in contrariety to many others presenting due sites for Atlantis and/or Lemuria — is definitely scientific, rather than an invention of ours or of others. It is shaped on a minute geophysical reformation of a seafloors in a segment in question, and portrays a areas of abyss underneath 100 meters, that were apparently unprotected during a Ice Age, when sea spin forsaken by that volume and even more.
In fact, several definitely scientific, matching maps exist, and can be seen elsewhere, thorough in a Internet. One of these maps, was published in a National Geographic Magazine (vol. 174, No. 4, Oct. 1988, pg. 446-7) and is reproduced, for comparison, in Fig. 2 below. It shows a universe as it was some 18,000 years ago, during a arise of a final glaciation of a Pleistocene Ice Age. As can be seen, this map corresponds definitely closely with ours, shown in Fig. 1.
In particular, greatfully note a outrageous cube of land, of continental dimensions, to a south of Southeast Asia, and that became depressed when sea spin rose, during a finish of a Pleistocene. Another immeasurable square of land in a Indus Delta, a site of a second Atlantis, also left likewise, during that occasion. No other regions of a universe arrangement a matching event, including a Americas (not shown). The finish is that Atlantis, if Plato was in fact vocalization truthfully, could customarily have been located in that segment of a world.
As both maps above show, a outrageous prolongation — of continental distance — enlarged Southeast Asia all a approach down to Australia. This continental-sized land was indeed "larger than Asia Minor and Libya North Africa put together”, accurately as Plato affirms. It is seen to have been about twin or 3 times exquisite than continental-sized India. It was also distant exquisite than Australia, shown farfetched due to a peculiarities of a projection utilized.
The Indonesian Islands and a Malay Peninsula that we currently observe are a unsunken relicts of Lemurian Atlantis, a lofty volcanic plateau that became a volcanic islands of this region, a loyal site of Paradise in all ancient traditions. The depressed apportionment of continental prolongation now forms a muddy, shoal bottoms of a South China Sea. It is encircled by Indonesia and forms a range of a Indian and a Pacific Oceans.
Then, as now, Indonesia shaped a sequence of a New and a Ancient Worlds; what a ancients called Ultima Thule (“Ultimate Divide”). Thule also corresponded to what a elders named a Pillars of Hercules, which, according to Plato, were placed “just in front of Atlantis” (hyper 10 Heraklei Nyssai).
The Pillars of Hercules were also a insurmountable limit between a Old and a New Worlds, also called Orient and Occident. These twin are sundered by a volcanic island arc of Indonesia, truly a range of a Tectonic Plates that form a Ancient and a New Worlds. This separator to navigation, in a segment of Atlantis is also insistently mentioned in Plato and other ancient sources on Atlantis.
the good difference and a khasma mega of hesiod
The good difference that came to apart a islands of Java and Sumatra, caused by a subsidence of a Krakatoa volcano incited into a hulk submarine caldera, that now forms a Sunda Strait. This good difference was unequivocally good famous of a ancients. Hesiod called it Khasma Mega (“Great Rift”), a designative he learnt from a Hindus. This people called it (in Sanskrit) by names such as Abhvan (“Great Abyss”), Kalamukha (“Black Hole”), Aurva (“Fiery Pit”) Vadava-mukha (“Fiery Submarine Mare”), and so on. This Great Abyss is also a same one that a Egyptians called Nun, and that a Mesopotamians named Apzu (“Abyss”).
Hesiod and several other ancient authorities place this Khaos (“Divide”) or Khasma Mega (“Giant Abyss”) during a world’s divide, during a unequivocally opening to Hell (Tartarus). Hesiod also places Atlas and his Pillar (Mt. Atlas) during this murky mark where a ancient navigators such as Ulysses and a Argonauts met their doom. As we conspicuous above, this terrifying Black Hole — a archetype of all such that haunt Man’s imagination — is indeed a Krakatoa’s burning caldera, prepared to revitalise during doom, during slightest in Hindu traditions on a Vadava-mukha.
what happened during a pleistocene?
Let us reproduce what happened during a Pleistocene Ice Age, for a loyal stress seems to have transient a notice of all Atlantologists so far.
This is how Ice Ages start. Converted into clouds by a sun, sea H2O is carried into a continents by a wind, where it pours down as presumably rain, accost or snow. If conditions are right, as they were then, this downfalling H2O is defended in glaciers that finish adult covering a ascetic regions with a hide of ice that is one or twin miles thick. Sea spin hence drops by 100-150 meters or even more, exposing a shoal bottoms of a sea.
Such was a box of a South China Sea, whose abyss occasionally exceeds 60 meters or so, as we uncover in a Map of Fig. 1. When a Ice Age ends, a routine is reverted. The glaciers warp away, and their meltwater quick drains into a sea. In consequence, a bottoms formerly unprotected as dry land spin submerged once again.
As we see, a universe works as a kind of flip-flop or swing, perpetually oscillating between a extremes of cold and heat. Interestingly enough, it is Life itself that equilibrates a balance, introducing a disastrous feedback that counteracts a bent for a universe to solidify or to sizzle. For instance, if CO dioxide (CO2) increases in a atmosphere, a feverishness tends to go adult with a supposed Hothouse Effect. This is precisely what we observe in sizzling Venus, whose atmosphere is roughly primitive CO2. In gelid Mars, whose atmosphere (and Life) was roughly all mislaid in a unconstrained calamity – substantially caused by a tumble of a meteorite of planetoidal distance — a conflicting pitch took place.
Wherever Life exists, as on Earth, augmenting CO2 hint of a atmosphere also formula in augmenting photosynthesis. Plants grow some-more luxuriously, regulating a additional CO dioxide in themselves, and alleviating a situation. The conflicting routine happens if a CO2 calm of a atmosphere is reduced for some reason. Photosynthesis is hence reduced and plant matter – especially a plankton in a seas, rather than a pleasant forests — decreases, liberating CO2. This increases a windy content, given to boost earth’s feverishness behind to a normal value.
However, this remuneration customarily works within firm limits, and any impassioned distress can trigger an Ice Age or a Hot Age. Like with flip-flops and balances, a transition is extended by certain feedback, and quick leads to a impassioned situations that are, again, quick and permanent until triggered behind on again. For instance if a seas comfortable up, a solubility of CO2 is decreased, and a windy calm increases, given to serve boost earth’s temperature, and vice-versa.
Moreover, an ice cover effectively reflects object behind towards outdoor space, shortening a volume of solar feverishness engrossed by a earth. Its feverishness hence drops, and a glaciers serve increase, until they cover all a ascetic regions of earth. In a deficiency of Life, we have a twin extremes instanced by a twin adjacent planets, Venus and Mars. As we conspicuous above, Venus is as prohibited as hell, given Mars is totally solidified up, as if to vividly reflect to us all a twin extremes of routine conditions.
the means of a ice ages
The causes of a Ice Ages and of a periodic allege and shelter of a continental glaciers is not good known. But, to trust a myths, a finish of a Pleistocene Ice Age was due to a cataclysmic blast of Mt. Atlas, a one that wiped a twin Atlantises out of a map.
Mount Atlas — “the Pillar of Heaven” that flashy Lemurian Atlantis — was an measureless volcanic arise in a segment that now corresponds to a island arc of Indonesia. To be some-more precise, this volcano was a terrible Krakatoa, even currently still alive and unequivocally active, notwithstanding a staggering blast in Atlantean times. After a outrageous explosion, a Krakatoa volcano sunk divided underseas, apropos a hulk caldera that now forms Sunda’s Strait between Java and Sumatra.
This hulk caldera — entirely 150 km conflicting — is a “Fiery Submarine Mare” (Vadava-mukha) that we commented above. The hulk blast of a Holy Mountain is attested not customarily by a worldwide misconceptions that relate a finish of Paradise (Atlantis). Similar cataclysms in this remote segment of a universe are also testified by a tektite belt and a volcanic charcoal covering that covers many of a South Indian Ocean, Australia, Indonesia and Southeast Asia.1
The remains and dirt expelled by a outrageous blast were carried divided by a winds, and lonesome a glaciers of North Asia and North America with a dim deceive of carbonized matter. The outcome was an augmenting fullness of object and a discerning melting divided of a glaciers that lonesome a continents over a Tropical Regions.
thermal exile and a quaternary extinctions
The routine of glacier melting was distant from uniform, as many geologists of a Darwinian propagandize tend to think. The meltwater of a glaciers quick flowed into a seas, formulating outrageous stresses between a overloaded sea bottom and a alleviated continents. Earth’s membrane burst and rifted during many places, imagining volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis of rare proportions. And a aroused routine continued, impelled by a possess momentum, until it was finally finish and a earth had quit a Ice Age. In this terrible eventuality — a same one that a misconceptions call a Flood — some 70% of a class of good mammals became extinct.
This self-sustaining, degeneratively augmenting routine is what physicists call “positive feedback”, and is matching to a one that causes a transitions of electronic flip-flops in electronic computers and such. It also corresponds to another earthy routine called “thermal runaway”, that happens, for instance, on a tellurian scale in a Hothouse Effect. Increased feverishness of a earth tends to acquit a CO2 (carbonic gas) dissolved in sea H2O to a atmosphere, given a solubility decreases with temperature.
The additional windy CO2 serve tends to boost tellurian warming, liberating serve amounts of CO2, and so on until all of it is expelled to a atmosphere, and a earth becomes overheated. This is presumably what happened on sizzling Venus, maybe billions of years ago. And it might good be a box that Venus also had Life, as Mars apparently did too, as we are starting to learn.
Geologists call a widespread mankind that took place during a finish of a Pleistocene by a name of Quaternary Extinctions. But they are foiled during explaining their cause, and zero of a literally dozens of systematic theories hereto due to explain a means of Ice Ages have been consensualy supposed by a systematic community. Among a archaic class we had several pretentious animals: a mammoth, a mastodon, a saber-toothed tiger, a cavern bear, a hulk sloths, dozens of class of camelids, cervids, cavalids and, unequivocally probably, a Neandertal and a Cro-Magnon men, who became archaic during about this date for some unexplained reason that can customarily have been associated to this one.
No, a ancient misconceptions in no approach exaggerate a concept border and assault of a Flood cataclysm. The worldwide mass extinctions of a finish of a Quaternary (the Pleistocene Ice Age) attest, many unequivocally, that a savagery of a calamity was truly Velikovskian in extent, if not in nature.
And a instances of both Mars and Venus are Celestial witnesses of what might indeed occur to a Earth if we insist in abusing her a approach we currently do. Are these twin planets a Two Witnesses mentioned in a Book of Revelation (11:8), “their corpses unprotected in a streets of a Great City (the skies?) for all to see and marvel”? we would not know, nonetheless we fear they could good be so. Aren’t these witnesses of permanent genocide on a heavenly scale indeed maybe a scariest thing in a whole sky?
the tumble of a holy towering of osiris
Mount Atlas is a same Holy Mountain of Paradise represented by a Great Pyramid. Osiris dead, reposing inside a Holy Mountain, represents a passed Atlantis or, rather, a passed of Atlantis, buried and entombed by a outrageous blast of a Holy Mount Atlas. Mount Atlas is a same as a Mount Meru of a Hindus, a pyramid-shaped towering that there served as a sky’s support.
Indeed, a Egyptian word for pyramid, M’R was many substantially review MeRu as in a Hindu name of a towering unnatural by a monument. The ancient Egyptians did not spell out a vowels in their hieroglyphs, so a above reading substantially corresponds to a tangible one of Mt. Meru, a exploded Mountain of Paradise.
In Hindu traditions, Mt. Meru served as a Stambha, a Pillar of Heaven. Mt. Meru (or Kailasa = “Skull” = Calvary”) also served as a support of a Cosmic Tree where a Cosmic Man (Purusha) was crucified, like Christ on a Cross. Mt. Meru is also a Holy Mountain of Paradise, forever portrayed in India during a explosion, in pleasing mandalas such as a Shri Yantra. By a way, a Golden Lotus mostly shown with them portrays a “atomic mushroom” of a immeasurable explosion, as we disagree in fact in a work entitled “The Secret of a Golden Flower“.
In effect of a hulk explosion, Mt. Meru (or Atlas), voided of a magma, collapsed like a arrange of punctured balloon. Its outrageous arise sunk underseas, branch into a hulk caldera. Our researches into a ancient universe legends have shown that this volcano is indeed a Krakatoa, a same one that still castigates a segment whenever it again erupts explosively, as it did in 1883 and other occasions.
the definition of a former castration
The Krakatoa is now a submarine volcano located inside a outrageous caldera that now forms a Sunda Strait separating Sumatra from Java. In Hindu myths, a blast and successive predestine are allegorized as a Primordial Castration that incited a Cosmic Phallus (Linga) into a Cosmic Yoni (or Vulva). And Earth’s Yoni is a same as a Khasma Mega of Hesiod, mentioned serve above.
We see how a apparently absurd traditions of a ancients indeed make distant some-more clarity than those of a wanton attempts during reason by a complicated experts of all sorts. It is also precisely to this fact that refers a fable of Atlas, a Pillar of Heaven. Unable to bear a bucket of an earth overpopulated with gods, Atlas collapsed, and let a sky tumble emergence over a earth, destroying it.
The name of Atlas indeed derives from a Greek radix tla definition “to bear”, preceded by a disastrous hitch a, definition “not”. Hence, a name of Atlas literally means “the one incompetent to bear a skies“. Such is a reason since Atlas (and other Titans like himself) are mostly portrayed with weak, twisted legs. The tumble of a skies is, of course, a crafty story of a tumble of volcanic dirt and waste from a distant blast of Mt. Atlas. In Hindu myths, one covering buries a former one, giving arise to a new sky and a new earth, usually as we review in Revelation.
atlantis and a rising of a phoenix
The above is, of course, accurately a summary of St. John’s Revelation (21:1) concerning a New Jerusalem. The New Jerusalem is Atlantis, reborn from a cinders, as a arrange of Phoenix, a bird that personifies Paradise in Greek myths. These misconceptions were indeed copied from Egypt who, in turn, cribbed them from India. India and, some-more exactly, Indonesia, is a loyal land of a Phoenix, as is comparatively easy to show, given it is from there that comes a name of a Benu bird of a Egyptians and that of a Phoenix of a Greeks.
This cryptic bird was called Vena in a Rig Veda. So, if a Phoenix indeed symbolizes Atlantis-Paradise resurging from a possess cinders, as we trust it does, there can be tiny doubt that a fable is creatively Vedic, and originated in a Indies. The name means zero that creates clarity in presumably Egyptian or Greek. But in a holy tongues of India it means a thought of Eros (Love) and, some-more exactly, a Sun of Justice that symbolizes Atlantis rising from a waters of a former abyss. This parable forms a hint of a one of a Celestial Jerusalem, as good as, say, those of a Orphic Cosmogonies, those of a Egyptians, and those of many other ancient nations.
egypt and a start of a fable of atlantis
Plato concedes that he learnt a fable of Atlantis from Solon who, in turn, got it from a Egyptians. But those, in their turn, learnt it from a Hindus of Punt (Indonesia). Punt was a Ancestral Land (To-wer), a Island of Fire start a Egyptians creatively came, in a emergence of times, diminished by a calamity that razed their land. From there also came a Aryans, a Hebrews and Phoenicians, as good as a other nations that founded a pretentious civilizations of ancient times.
It is from a former Lemurian Atlantis that get all a misconceptions and eremite traditions, a unequivocally ones that authorised a climb of Man above a beasts of a field. From Atlantis get all a scholarship and a technology: agriculture, cattle herding, a alphabet, metallurgy, astronomy, music, religion, and so forth. These inventions are so crafty and so modernized that they seem as healthy as a atmosphere we exhale and a gods we worship. But they are all impossibly modernized inventions that came to us from a emergence of times, from a twin Atlantises we definitely forgot.
It is in India and in Indonesia, that, even today, we find a tip of Atlantis and Lemuria dim behind a thick deceive of their misconceptions and allegories. The essential events are sheltered inside a Hindu and Buddhic eremite traditions, or told as desirable sagas like those of a Ramayana and a Mahaharata. The blunder that led a ancients, along with a complicated researchers, into desiring that Atlantis lay in a Atlantic Ocean is easy to know now that we know a loyal locale of a depressed continent. When amiability changed from Indonesia into a regions of Europe and a Near East, a “Occidental Ocean” of a Hindus became a Oriental Ocean, for it afterwards lay towards a east.
The (Hindu) misconceptions that told of Atlantis falling in a Occidental Ocean became interpreted as referring to a Atlantic Ocean, western in regards to Europe, their new residence. The Hindus called a depressed continent by a name of Atala (or Atalas) a name uncannily matching to that of Atlas and of Atlantis (by a appending of a appendix tis or tiv = “mountain”, “island”, in Dravida, and conspicuous “tiw”). It is from this bottom that names such as that of a puzzling Keftiu of a Egyptians, a “Islands in a Middle of a Ocean (the “Great Green”)” eventually came (Keftiu = Kap-tiv = “capital island” or “Skull Island” = “Calvary” in Dravida, a primitive denunciation of Indonesia). But this is a enlarged story that we tell elsewhere, presenting a minute justification for this supernatural claim of ours.
the annulment of a oceans and a principal directions
It is to this “reversal” of a Cardinal Directions usually mentioned that Plato and Herodotus make reference, along with other ancient authorities. Interestingly enough, even a Amerindians — who came in, during slightest in part, from Indonesia into South America around a Pacific Ocean impelled by a Atlantean Cataclysm — mostly upset a instruction of their incipient homeland, that they infrequently place in a east, infrequently in a west. But, strangely enough, they never place it towards a north, as they should, if they came in around a Bering Strait.
The ancient Greeks attempted to mend their misconceptions calling, by a name of “Atlantic”, a whole sea that encircles Eurasia and Africa. But a outcome was even worse than before and a difficulty customarily grew. Herodotus used to giggle during this absurd try by a geographers of his time (Hist. 2:28). Aristotle, in his De Coelo, is also unequivocally specific on a fact that a name of “Atlantic Ocean” — that is, a “Ocean of a Atlanteans” — was a whole of a circular, earth-encompassing ocean.
So, we means to interpretation that Atlantis can legitimately be localized presumably in a sea we currently call by that name, or, even some-more likely, in a sea where a ancients placed their legends and their navigations, a Indian Ocean. This sea they named Erythraean, Atlantic, and so on, names that are indeed compared with that of Atlantis, “the land of a Reds”, a Primordial Phoenicia or Erythraea, whose names meant “the red one”.
It should maybe be emphasized that it is a name of a Atlantic Ocean (or “Ocean of a Atlanteans”) that derives from that of Atlantis, and not vice-versa. And that name distant predates Plato, being mentioned, f. i., by Herodotus, who wrote his History entirely a century before Plato wrote a Critias. Moreover, as Herodotus explains, a name of “Atlantic Ocean” creatively practical to a Indian Ocean, rather than a physique of H2O now so named. So, it is on that side of a world, and not on ours that we should design to find Atlantis.
atlas, hercules, atlantis, and a channel of a heroes
Greek misconceptions mostly consolidate a difficulty of easterly and west that we usually forked out. The itineraries of Greek heroes such as Hercules, Jason, Ulysses and a Argonauts are all absurd when placed in a Mediterranean or even in a Atlantic Ocean. But they all make a lot of geographical and fabulous clarity if we place them in a Indian Ocean, as we should. And that is indeed what we do, in other some-more specialized works of ours on this fascinating subject.
Likewise, a Titan Atlas and his mountain, Mt. Atlas, were placed usually about everywhere, from Hesperia (Spain), a Canaries and Morroco to a Bosporus and a Far Orient, during a proportions of Hades (Hell). The outcome was a plenitude of Atlantises and of Pillars of Atlas (or of Hercules) that creates no clarity al all. Indeed, a twin heroes who personified a World’s Pillars represented a twin Atlantises we discussed serve above. They are personified as Atlas and Hercules, a incipient Twins whom we confront in all Cosmogonies.
In Plato’s dialogues concerning Atlantis (the Critias and a Timaeus), Hercules is called Gadeiros or Eumelos, names that conform to something like “Cowboy” or, rather “Fencer of Cattle”. This name is a verbatim interpretation of that of Setubandha, a Sanskrit classification of Indonesia. This name is due to a fact that Indonesia indeed “fences out” a seas, dividing a Pacific from a Indian Ocean.
the ultima thule, a twins, and a quarrel of doomsday
Indonesia was, as we conspicuous above, a Ultima Thule (or “Ultimate Boundary“) of a ancients, a final limit that should not be crossed by a navigators. There lay a Pillars of Hercules and of Atlas, a twin former Twins. In another guise, a twin conform to a twins of Gemini (Castor and Pollux), directly subsequent from a Ashvin Twins of a Hindus. In Egypt they corresponded to Seth and Osiris, and were commemorated by a twin obelisks posted during a opening of Egyptian temples.
Hercules is, of course, a Phoenician deity (Baal Melkart), in spin subsequent from Bala or Bala-Rama (“the Strong Rama”), a twin hermit of Krishna. Bala means “Strong” or “Strength” in Sanskrit, being called a same (Bias = “Strength”) in Greek and other tongues. Krishna is a World’s Pillar, clearly a enactment of Atlantis.
More exactly, a Twins indication a twin races of blondes (Aryo-Semites) and brunets or “reds” (Dravidas), cursed to quarrel wherever they meet. Both shades are creatively from Eden (Lemuria), a former Paradise where amiability creatively arose. Osiris, a Egyptian god, also played a purpose of Cosmic Pillar (Djed), a purpose he common with Seth, his twin and dual. But this fabulous symbolism eventually derives from that of Shiva as a Sthanu, a “Pillar of a World” and that of Shesha (or Vritra), a Cosmic Serpent who was a archetype of Seth-Typhon.
the conflict of a sons of light and a sons of darkness
The Twins — like a Devas and Asuras of a Hindus and a Sons of Light and a Sons of Darkness of a Essenians — are always a personifications of a twin races that brawl universe omnipotence given a emergence of times. It was their war, according to Plato — who calls them “Greeks” and Atlanteans — that led to a drop of Atlantis.
There is no reason to doubt that a good philosopher was indeed transmitting ancient traditions faithfully. For, we are starting to learn all over again that tellurian wars can indeed lead to a world’s end. In fact, it is a same unconstrained quarrel that menaces us now as it did during a emergence of times. This frightening existence is told in a Ramayana, in a Mahabharata and in a Iliad, not to discuss a other misconceptions and traditions.
But a quarrel of Atlantis is also a War of Armageddon narrated in a Book of Revelation. This quarrel is in existence a exercise or reproduction of a worldwide, former conflict between Gods and Devils. These strong beings were a same as a supposed Titans (or Giants) in Greece. Their quarrel was, as Plato and his commentators explain in detail, a same as a one of Atlantis.
Armageddon means (in Hebrew) a same as Shambhalla (in Sanskrit), “the Plains of Gathering”. There a armies of a universe will gather, in a finish of times, for “the quarrel that is to finish all wars”, for it will tighten a Kali Yuga. The viewpoint indeed seems frighteningly real, doesn’t it indeed? Fables or Reality? Religion or Profanity? Science or Superstitious Nonsense? We are prone to trust that a ancestors spoke in earnest, and that a quarrel of Armaggedon and a finish of a universe are discerning apropos all too genuine possibilities.
are mars and venus a astronomical example?
We do not wish to seem alarmists, as a summary is indeed one of wish and salvation, and not of “Bible thumping”. The new find of vestiges of archaic life in Mars brings a remarkable doctrine that is value detailing. Earth has been, in a past, a plant of immeasurable catastrophes that scarcely wiped out Life altogether. These cataclysms were due to conflicting causes such as cometary and asteroidal falls or volcanic cataclysms bringing on or off a Ice Ages. Not impossibly, wars such as a War of Atlantis and a Battle of a Gods can have indeed happened in a far, definitely mislaid past that lives on in a misconceptions and holy traditions from everywhere.
Perhaps a wars usually continue these and others that presumably took place on Mars and Venus, destroying Life there, if not in other Solar Systems as well. It might even be a box that Big Bangs and Creations are indeed intermittent processes that recover periodically, usually as a traditions of a Hindus on Cyclical Eras attest in detail. The annihilation of a dinosaurs, and a start of a Moon — pulled out of a Earth by a planetoidal impact — are instances of such sobering cataclysms. Thousands of hulk craters — as immeasurable as those on a Moon, nonetheless roughly effaced by erosion — are still understandable on a earth, as scientists are starting to discover. Hundreds of times in a past we have had immeasurable extinctions of Life on earth.
Many times in a past a universe scarcely became as “empty and dim and abandoned of form” as during Creation, when God reshaped a earth for a final time. The Uniformitarianism of Darwin and Lyell is no some-more than a genuine faith in a Panglossian doctrine that “all things customarily occur for a better, in a best of all probable worlds”.
Fossils and extinctions are here to prove, usually as do Geology and other sciences, that Catastrophism is a underline of Nature as much, and presumably even more, than Uniformitarian phenomena. Thousands of Apollo and Amor objects overflow conflicting earth’s orbit, prepared to strike us during a moment’s notice with a force of a million Megatons and over. The thought that God favors humans “above a beasts of a field” is usually a possess naive, egotistic idea of what God should demeanour like. More likely, He regards all Life as sacred, as His possess handiwork, if He exists during all. That is what Nature indisputably demonstrates in use all a time.
Mars, with a passed residues of Life, with a oceans dull and dry, with a terrible dirt storms unconditional conflicting a unconstrained blank and devastation, is here to infer to all that God — or, as some will, Nature or Mother Earth — infrequently loses his/her rage and extinguishes Life altogether. This roughly happened during a Flood, as a misconceptions tell us. The victimizing of Atlantis — maybe given they sinned, maybe given they warred — roughly took a rest of us along. Venus is another instance, in reverse, that planets can indeed die and spin as waste as a Moon. And perhaps, earth itself was usually “reset behind to zero” some 4 billion years ago, when a Moon was pulled out of it by a hulk meteoritic impact of planetoidal size.
atlantis and a apparition of darwinian uniformitarianism
As we usually said, Darwin’s Theory of Uniformitarian Evolution is usually an apparition of revolutionary scientists. What a universe presents us daily is an unconstrained array of ever exquisite cataclysms, trimming from atom outstanding to a Big Bang. We recently watched a comet attack Jupiter and opening a indenture on that universe as vast as a whole earth. Mars shows all signs of carrying been strike by a planetoidal sized body, that non-stop a outrageous void on one side and pushed adult Olympus Mons on a conflicting one. Perhaps it was this calamity that extinguished Life on a Red Planet. Venus too presents vestiges of matching catastrophes. Perhaps we are customarily stranded here on earth, cursed to spin archaic when a allotted time expires who knows when?
Life is an illusion, as all things, as a Hindus learn us. According to them, even a gods eventually die, and are transposed by better, some-more developed saintly forms. An apparition is also a suprematist speculation that affirms that Civilizations initial arose in an Occidental Atlantis that never was, out of Europoid stock. But Civilization developed during a time when a whole of Europe was roughly entirely lonesome by a mile thick glacier that rendered presence unequivocally scanty and scant.
Plato’s Atlantis is, in contrast, described as a lush pleasant Paradise, decorated with metals, horses, elephants, coconut, pineapples, perfumes, savoury woods and other facilities that were an exclusivity of India and Indonesia in a ancient world. Was a good philosopher dreaming, or was he indeed basing himself on Holy Books now mislaid in a bonfires of a Holy Inquisition ?
The Atlantic Atlantis is an apparition too, usually as are a Cretan, a African, a American, a North European and a Black Sea ones. The loyal Atlantis, a archetype of all other Atlantises is Indonesia, or rather, a unconstrained depressed continent rimmed by this island arc. It is there that we had Plato’s “innavigable seas”, a same one mentioned by navigators. such as Pytheas, Himilco, Hanno and others. It was this former Atlantis that served as a indication for a second Atlantis — a one of a Indus Valley — as good as for a innumerable other matching Paradises that we confront in all ancient eremite traditions and mythologies.
the krakatoa volcano and a “innavigable seas” of atlantis
Another central, singular underline of Atlantis were a seas, rendered “innavigable” as a outcome of a cataclysm, as reported by Plato and other ancient authorities. As we mentioned serve above, a seas of Atlantis were innavigable given they were lonesome thick with hulk banks of floating, burning pumice-stone. This pumice was ejected by a hulk blast of volcanic Mt. Atlas, a one that caused a foundering of a Lost Continent..
A matching materialisation indeed happened — in a distant obtuse scale, nonetheless one vast adequate to be one of a world’s largest catastrophes — during a blast of a Krakatoa volcano that we mentioned serve above. The arrangement of pumice — a arrange of hard “froth” done of siliceous potion — is evil of a Indonesian volcanoes, and is indeed a means of their bomb eruptions of exquisite force. The materialisation is definitely matching to a “popping” of popcorn. The water-soaked siliceous magma of a submarine volcano (the incipient Krakatoa) built adult unconstrained pressures underneath a weight of a membrane and a overlying sea water. Eventually, a commanding membrane that shaped a volcanic arise gave, and a tear occurred, explosively.
Thus released, a overheated H2O dissolved in a prohibited magma incited now into vapor, literally ripping like popcorn, only that in a worldwide scale. The sea was impelled, in a outrageous tsunami that was a eventuality mythified as “the Flood from below”. Simultaneously, a remains and waste were thrown adult into a stratosphere, as “soot”. This fly charcoal eventually fell behind to a earth and a sea, choking all life in a region, and causing a outrageous quantities of rain, “the Flood from above”. Further away, it staid over a Ice Age glaciers, causing their melting and triggering a finish of a Pleistocene, precisely as compared above.
Interestingly enough, a Hindus associate this arrange of things — this translucent “seafroth” — with Krishna and Balarama, a archetypes of Hercules and Atlas. Balarama is a alias of a Serpent Shesha, whose name means (in Sanskrit) “residue” and, some-more exactly, a kind of froth such as ambergris or pumice mill thrown over a beaches by a seas. The whole story is a crafty story of a blast of Mt. Atlas, a World’s Pillar, ejecting a outrageous amounts of pumice mill and fly charcoal that lonesome a dirt and a seas of Atlantis, and choking out all a paradisial forms of life.
The Titans — and Atlas in sold — were likened to Serpents (or Dragons), and to “weak-legged”, anguipedal, Civilizing Heroes such as Erychthonios, Cadmus, Hercules, Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan, etc.. All such indeed get from a Nagas (“Serpent-people”, “Dragons”) of India and Indonesia, as we disagree elsewhere.
the illusory, vision atlantises
As we conspicuous above, a Cretan “Atlantis” of certain authorities is an illusion, as are all others outward a twin Indies. Nevertheless, a blast of a Thera volcano closely parallels a one of a Krakatoa of 1883, as some have noted. But it is distant too tiny and distant too poorly sited in propinquity to a Pillars of Hercules for to be a right time and a right place.
Moreover, Crete lacked a distance and a significance that Plato attributes to Atlantis, being trifling in comparison to, say, a contemporary civilizations of Egypt, Babylon and Mycenian Greece. And a Theran calamity never sunk Crete underseas, or even hampered a existence in any important way. In fact, a name of Crete (Kriti) means “swept”, rather than “sunken one”, as does a name of Atlantis in a holy tongues of India. So, Crete was recognizedly “swept” by a Theran cataclysm, nonetheless not indeed “sunken” by it, as Atlantis was.
The antiquated blast of a Krakatoa volcano that sundered open a Strait of Sunda was, by comparison a million times stronger. If a Theran blast could brush divided a substantial border of Minoan Crete, we are led to interpretation that a one of a Indonesian volcano could good have wiped out an whole continental-sized civilization, and have triggered a sequence of events that culminated in a finish of a Pleistocene Ice Age.
Equally romantic are a Atlantises of a Bosporus (Moreau de Jonns), of Spain (R. Hennig), of Libya (Borchardt), of Benin, in Africa (Leo Frobenius) and a even rebate expected one of a North Sea (Olaus Rudbeck), a Americas (several authors) and Antactica (idem). Even some-more non-professional are a Atlantises located in depressed islands of continents of a Atlantic Ocean and, particularly, a Sargasso Sea, for they are not even geophysical possibilities.
the mid-atlantic shallow and donnelly’s atlantis
There are no depressed continents during a bottom of a Atlantic Ocean, as an unconstrained investigate of this segment has unquestionably shown. What this minute investigate disclosed is a existence of a Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a immeasurable submarine cordillera that divides a Atlantic Ocean during a middle. This underline corresponds to a difference from start a Tectonic Plates issue, causing a continents to deposit divided from a spot, during a rate of a few centimeter per year.
Hence, notwithstanding a resplendent defence of Ignatius Donnelly, this shallow corresponds not to a depressed continent, nonetheless to land that is solemnly rising out of a sea bottom. Such rifts and ridges in fact exist in all oceans. They arise above sea spin in certain spots combining island arcs, as in Indonesia and during a Indus Valley. Where they do, they means a kind of terrible volcanoes and earthquakes that we have been deliberating above. It is no fluke that a twin Atlantises we mentioned are located precisely during such spots where a Mid-Oceanic Ridges arise above a aspect of a sea.
When we check a map of Fig. 1, we also note that a immeasurable cube of India left during a finish of a Ice Age during a Indus Delta. This segment is now famous as a Rann of Kutch (“Marshes of Death”) and is in fact still falling underseas, even today. This segment is deemed a arrange of Hell, and has been clearly flooded by some arrange of terrible calamity that also took place during a finish of a Pleistocene, usually as did a one of Lemurian Atlantis.
lemurian atlantis and a 4 rivers of paradise
At this occasion, that of a passing of Atlantis, a Himalayan glaciers melted in a incomparable part, pouring a waters down a Indus Valley, in floods that were hundreds of times exquisite than a ones of today, even when a monsoon storms censure a region. Such is clearly a record left by a snowstorm that swept divided a second Atlantis (Hesperus), throwing it into a sea during a second of a Biblical Floods.
The same thing also happened during a other side of a Himalayas, start emanate a rivers that direct South Asia, China and Southeast Asia, such as a Huang-ho, a Yangtz, a Mekong, a Irrawaddy, a Brahmaputra, a Ganges. These are indeed a Four Rivers of Eden (Lemurian Atlantis), as we disagree in fact elsewhere. There can be unequivocally tiny doubt that a Lemurian Atlantis — as good as a successor, a Indian Atlantis — are dedicated traditions shaped on genuine contribution that were in no approach farfetched by a ancestors.
the civilizing heroes and heroines are atlantean escapees
The cataclysms in doubt caused a mass migrations of nations that after were to form civilizations of a past such as those of a Egyptians, a Greeks, a Cretans and a Mesopotamians. These also enclosed a Jews, a Phoenicians, and a Aryans, driven divided from their ancestral lands in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. At initial they staid in India, nonetheless were driven out by a locals, relocating to a places usually mentioned.
Such mass migrations are told in a Bible and in matching Holy Books of all nations, in legends such as those of Moses and a Israelites, Aeneas and a Romans, Hercules and his Greek “cattle” (armies), of Cain’s exclusion from Eden, of Quetzalcoatl’s attainment in Mexico, of that of Viracocha and a Incas in Peru, of a Fomorians and a Tuatha de Danaan nearing in Britain, and so on.
These legends costume genuine contribution underneath a deceive of allegories, and indication or deify a nations in doubt underneath a total of heroes such as Noah, Manu, Hercules, Kukulkan, Abraham, Quetzalcoatl, and a innumerable others, or in heroines like Venus, Demeter, Dana, Danu, Vesta, Hathor, Isis, Hecate and so on. Lemuria was indeed a Great Black Mother of Gods and Men. She is a same enchantress that we know by names such as Kali, Parvati, Demeter, Hera, Isis, Ishtar, Venus, Cybele and even a Virgin Mary.
The enigmatic decency of a Great Mother refers to a fact that she gimlet a Lemurian civilization on her own, in an primitive manner, yet a assistance of an “inseminator” civilization. In contrast, all other civilizations developed by being seeded from outward by a Civilizing Heroes, a Angels, a Gods, a Devils, etc.. These were a Lemurian Sons of God that, nonetheless , bright a universe with a Light of a Great Mother.
The second Atlantis, India, is a Great Father. The Father is a inseminating God famous as Shiva in India, Jahveh in Israel, Zeus in Greece, Viracocha in Peru, Quetzalcoatl in Mexico, Bochica in Colombia, and so on. He is a God that is castrated and dies nonetheless who resurrects from among a dead, whole and male as ever. The picture is not yet analogy with an imperishable volcano such as a Krakatoa that explodes and vanishes from sight, nonetheless keeps resplendent underneath a ocean, until a time comes for it to arise and gleam again, maybe during God’s command.
the many aspects of god
As we usually said, misconceptions work during several levels, and a together such as a Atlantean one is usually a facet of God’s innumerable aspects. In other words, volcanoes are manifestations of God’s power, a arms he mostly chooses to censure a nations and to force Evolution to follow a course. The Hindus call this force by a name of vajra, a Sanskrit word definition both “hard as diamond”, as good as “thunderbolt”. The vajra is a thunderbolt arms used by almighty gods such as Baal (Hercules’ archetype), Zeus, Indra, Haddad, and a innumerable others. In fact, God is conjunction a vajra nor a volcano, nonetheless a force behind it, a impeller and wielder.
For a vajra is indeed a beat of a gods, a Celestial arms He uses in sequence to energise Evolution and to stir Nature into action, in a unconstrained march of life forms that characterizes Life. Perhaps all this has a purpose in a boundless conscience, nonetheless we don’t unequivocally know for sure. But there is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that Catastrophism is God’s way, if He indeed has any. Moreover, it is also Nature’s way, let no one doubt it. The ancients good knew that, and so do I, carrying learnt from them. For instance, they mostly portrayed a vajra as a beat or a lash, or even a produce or a mace wielded by a God in sequence to stir Nature into action.
Gods like Christ are not a customarily ones to die and to arise again from a dead. By a way, Christ too is a wielder of a “iron rod”, a hardest of metals being a embellishment for “diamond” and, hence, for a vajra. Christ was preceded by many aliases, and a source of “dying-resurrecting” gods same to a Sun of Justice dates from oldest antiquity. Among a many archetypes of Christ we can mention, offhand, Osiris, Attis, Tammuz, Adonis, Shiva, Kronos, Saturn, Dionysos, Serapis, Mithra and, of course, Krishna, in his enormous array of avatars, and Hercules, a good hero, in his burning epitome that figured a Atlantean Conflagration.
1 Tektites are potion beads and concretions indirect from hulk meteoritic (or cometary) falls or, perhaps, from outrageous volcanic explosions as well. These collisions separate tektites distant and wide, as in a above case. The ones in doubt are called Indochinites, in an reference to a segment where they everywhere a most. The Indochinites were antiquated during 700 kyears (one kiloyear = one thousand years). The blast of Lake Toba took place 75 kyears ago. The even exquisite one of Lake Taupo took place during some 100 kyears ago or so.
These hulk explosions — that all occurred in a segment of Indonesia, volcanically a many active in a whole universe — are simply immeasurable adequate to trigger an Ice Age. However, either one is indeed caused depends on other conditions, substantially commanded by insolation and other variables, astronomical or not. As we usually said, a segment of Indonesia has literally hundreds of active or asleep volcanoes, and has been unequivocally tiny researched so far, due to a remoteness.
Further investigate of a Indonesian segment will, now that a tie with a hearth of Mankind is being forked out, positively endorse a existence of what we are claiming. Our investigate is shaped on unequivocally minute internal traditions and is a fruit of many years of investigate of a parable of Atlantis-Eden from a systematic nonetheless unbiased, indicate of view. We pull no religious, scientific, pensive or niggardly point, and a seductiveness lies only in substantiating Truth. As a Romans used to say, Amicus Plato, magis amica Veritas.
