Title: Did atlantis exist?
Post by: Logic on May 13, 2004, 23:00:40
I can't say I've done my fair share of research on it. However, I have heard speculation on it from time to time. One of the more interesting theories that I heard was that the Antarctic was originally closer to the equator, originally being Atlantis.

My money's on the remnants of a small island nation that was destroyed by a volcanic eruption several thousand years ago, off the coast of Greece. No crystals, or aliens, or anything like that. Just an ancient people who were relatively advanced for their time.

I've always been curious about this subject.  

Watching alot of TLC, Discovery channel, and not to mention all the other way up there channels that I can't remember, it seems they have found artifacts suggesting a civilization that once lived on the outskirts of a large body if water.  Atlantis...who knows..[?]  There are hypothesis on this...but yet, everyone is in disagreement.  Go figure..[:P]

A new theory that i've heard is that atlantis didnt 'sink' into the ocean like it was previously though, instead it was on two fault lines, and when the plates moved the land that it was on the water rose up and created a tidal wave that swept over the land and flooded the city.

if i can find the tv show i saw it on (i think it was on TLC) then i'll let you know - and if i can find the real name of it i'll tell you. It started with an H...He something.

gah i hate not remembering things like this.

Plato spoke of an island in the Atlantic ocean, so lost civilizations outside Greece must be something else than Atlantis.

I looked at the pictures at the linked site and they look fake to me.
The medallion looks new, but if it's 13000 years old it must be worn in some way.

It is also typical of the atlantis researchers that they say things like this:

"He is reticent about giving too many details and will not publicly reveal his full identity or the location where he found the medallion until next week, because he believes the government of that country will demand that the relic be returned immediately
"

But it seems these further details are never released.

Medallion feels fake to me too.

Anyway Atlantis was said to have defeated ancient Egypt in a war somewhere. So there should be some inscriptions on this in Egypt.

that medallion's fake. . the writings ALL wrong. Thats the problem with people like that, they'll create something, claim its thousands of years old, and then most people are turned off by that and therefore wont believe in atlantis at all, because people exploit it. As for egypt, there IS evidence, but the egyptian government wont let any archaeologist dig in egypt anymore, the americans and europeans who do, do it illegally, for some reason the egyptian government wants to keep their history a hush hush, and of course dont forget one of the halls of records that was burned to the ground during the crusades because it was "pagan". Theres lots of evidence of atlantis, unfortunately, most "normal" people dont want to talk about it, its a sorta taboo like subject. .sad really. But its atlantean past lives that you should look into, if the people are genuine, most of their stories coincide. Hope i helped[:)]

What evidence are you talking about, more than the past lives? What hall of records was burned to the ground during the crusades?

I remember some of my past lives, but not any further back than about 1800 years. It seems like it's harder to remember lives very far back, and these lives should then be 13000 years ago.
What do you think about "my reasons for not believing this"
, that I stated on my first posting?

After studying Cayce's readings further, I'm even more convinced that Atlantis didn't exist. No disrespect to Cayce, he was one of the greatest healers and clairvoyants ever, but I don't think his predictions are reliable. He predicted that large parts of America and Japan would sink under water and of a pole shift that would be the beginning of a new age the year 2000. None of this has happened.

But I've read Graham Hancock's "Heavens's mirror" and it seems like the ancient civilizations were connected and that there were even more ancient, some of them yet undiscovered civilizations, but I don't think Atlantis was one of them.

I don't see any reason why Atlantis couldn't have existed. There has just been so much hoopla about it for so long, it either has to be undoubtable true or is the biggest pipe dream in history. Miguel Ruiz speculated through his visions that Atlantis was real, highly technological, and destroyed itself through accidental nuclear power. Their science was supposedly a blend of magic and tech, unlike anything we have now, but it was either abused or misunderstood. Again, there is no proof of any of these. One theory is as good as another.

As for the medallions, well, they look real pretty, but movies make real pretty props too. It's not hard evidence. Not much on these astral boards are. [:)]

Runlola, thanks for sharing the medalion article!

Has anyone ever read the occult classic, "A Dweller on Two Planets"? It was dictated to a young man near the end of the 19th century by an advanced, discarnate being named Phylos. It includes, in novel form, a very detailed account of Phylos' last two lives--one on Atlantis around 13,000 BC, and another in California in the early 1800's.

My point is that the details of this account of his Atlantean life closely correlates with most of the akashic readings by Leadbeater, Besant and others in the Theosophical writings. In addition to this, while reading the material, deep, soul stirring memories were unearthed within me of my own experiences there.

Also, many, many people have been hypnotically regressed for various reasons and they relate details of lives they lived on Atlantis as well as Lemuria and even earlier epochs. The accounts generally agree with each other and the previously mentioned sources quite well.

Did Leadbeater write anything on Atlantis? If he did, that would make me more inclined to believe that Atlantis existed, because I think he was one of the brighest and most reliable clairvoyants ever.
I think he's far more reliable than Cayce.

But Lemuria can't be true. A lost country in the pacific ocean 50 000 years ago? That's far too long ago and there's no geological evidence for that. There could maybe be a civilization in the pacific, but it can't be as old as that.

I have a couple of copies. I got them in used book stores in the "New Age" or "Spiritual" areas.

It's one of the most interesting books I've ever read. The first time I picked it up I couldn't put it down. Literally. I read the whole thing without stopping. Stayed up all night.

Have you read "The Lives of Alcyone"? It's an immense, highly informative two volume account of the 20 most influential lives of the soul of Krishnamurti. There are detailed (really!) accounts of his lives in fairly advanced civilizations going back to as far as  100,000 years ago.

It's by far the most breathtaking and revealing akashic readings that I've ever encountered. I believe that Annie Besant and Charles Leadbeater tag-teamed the thing and that it still probably took them a fairly long time to pull together.

I've only read the first of two volumes and there is only minimal references made or descriptions of Atlantis. But that is possibly because the first volume covers mostly his lives lived in earlier epochs.

They speak candidly about their methods of accessing the data, finding the important stuff, fixing dates and practical things like that. And for fixing dates, they say that they have established monumental milestones such as the various partial sinkings of Atlantis by actually counting the years while figuratively rewinding the timeline visually--a rather mind numbing and time consuming task. From those mile-markers they are able to navigate to events and fix dates with complete accuracy.

Now I really want to read the second volume...

I have read "the mental plane", "the astral plane" but not "The Lives of Alcyone". It's interesting that Leadbeater was into things like that.

I still find stories of 100 000 year old cilizations hard to believe, since it goes against what science has shown. It's similar to the creationists, who take the bibles creation stories literally, even if's against scientific evidence. The most recent genetic DNA research says that every human being alive today has its origin from
people who moved out of Africa about 100 000 years ago. And the arceological research has shown that these people were on a very basic level, like very basic stone age.

Krishnamurti was a spirit that Leadbeater channeled, right? Often these spirits can make up a lot of fantastic stories that are not necessarily true.

And does the Akashic Record extend back 200 million years, or more? Surely there must be a picture somewhere of this advanced relief map, i would like to see it.

I love the idea of lost, advanced civilizations. This planet is so friggin old there's no reason such could not have existed, especially if they were visiting or brought here by visitors. And did their technology wipe them out, or did natural disaster? Who knows? Our own culture is on the brink of doing the same thing? We have the raw nuclear power to blow the Earth up dozens of times, and enough pollution to kill everything in land and sea. To top it off, most people are spiritually void without an inkling of what God is.

No--I haven't heard of any channeling that Leadbeater did. He wrote and spoke from his own higher consciousness.

And when he was recording ancient historical events he read them directly from the Akashic records. He was probably one of the most highly developed clairvoyants of our modern times.

Krishnamurti was an Indian boy who Leadbeater and other elders of the movement found and helped train because they could see the maturity and advancement of his soul. He went on to eventually lead the Theosophical organization as its president.

This is what I've heard. I'm not in the Theosophical movement myself so this could be a little sketchy.

One of the best circles on the net in the subject of Atlantis is:
http://forums.atlantisrising.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Atlantis&number=1&DaysPrune=30&LastLogin=

It's pretty possible that southern Spain is part of the Atlantean geography, but so is Crete in my opinion. The thing is, if you consider the size of the Atlantean empire, the Rama Empire, Osirians and god knows how many other nations, cities would be spread out throughout the entire globe, with most either buried within dirt or water. So any claims on where specifically Atlantis is, would be equivalent to people from our future finding remnants of American culture in Alaska and Hawaii and both claiming they are correct and negating the other...

Hmm, anybody here know what the size of atlantis was? I was reading a site about it, and there was some interesting stuff on there. Anyway, here's a possiblity: Atlantis was Pangea, only it was really called Atlantis, and then it split apart . . . *shrugs* I haven't a clue, but perhaps . . .

I know that the Osirians existed in the Antarctica regions, if that narrows down the rest of the continents.

Do your pangea thoughts allow the pole-shift events? Several perhaps? If they do, it really doesn't matter because the areas that were dry, went wet, and so on for god knows how many shifts.

It seems that the information comes from a reliable source, but I think that it is
impossible that there have been lots of civilizations tens of thousands years old.
In that case, they would have left more trace. Why have archeologists found so
much stone age stuff but so little from these 50 000 year or more old civilizations?

Well, I don't think that archeologists have found all that much human stuff. How many dinosaurs lived out their lives during the millions(!) of years that they roamed the earth? Relative to this very, very large number, we've found only a small bit of remains. My personal view is that archeological research extrapolates far too much from the meager amount of info they have from fossils.

The other very important point I'd make is that all the major ancient civilizations were destroyed, often by violent natural disasters--not just the victims of crumbling and age. Lemuria first burned terribly by volcanic erruptions then sank into the ocean. Atlantis sank suddenly and violently very deep into the ocean. And this didn't happen all at once, it happened in stages, the mass of the continent shrinking with each bite. It's not that hard to imagine things getting pretty ground up and buried in such violent tectonic activity.

The following is a series of maps that were draw by clairvoyant researchers in the Theosophical Society. The info here agrees with a number of other sources that I'm familiar with. I'm sorry for the size but I think it will prove interesting to this discussion. The white outlines are the present day continents for reference sake. The dark outlines are the continental configurations of the indicated epochs:

It has been proved that the process of plate tectonics determine
how continens move. Through studying this process, scientists can go back through history and make maps of how the earth looked like at a certain time. These maps are not similar in any way to these maps made by the theosophical society.

So even if there were a lot of very bright people in the theosophical society, they couldn't have got it right with this information on how the earth looked because  
it contradicts scientific evidence.

I've been reading a book called "Don't Think Like a Human," channeleld answers from a being called The Kryon, the Earth's Magnetic Technician (that's what he says!) Anyway, one chapter addresses Atlantis and Lemuria and explains who and what and why they were destroyed.

To make a long story short, it is Kryon's job to oversee Earth's magnetism and poles and polarity. It has been adjusted 4 times so far, the fourth is the last time in the new millenium. The ancient Atlanteans, because of a weak SECOND field, had a very very thin boundary between earthly life and the veil of Spirit. This meant that were able to develop very powerful abilities of spiritual technology and intelligence, but they didnt' know WHY. It created a society of slavery and superscience, with only the elite in the know. So, Kryon and the others adjusted the grid, destroyed Atlantis, let the crust cover it, and then reseeded. The new grid was stronger, harder to see through, and mankind had to work much much harder to understand God and their higher selves. This last grid change, the last one Earth will know, has made it easier for the exchange of energy. This is the New Age, and the coming of a spiritual revolution for Mankind.

Personally, it is one of the most fascinating books i've ever read. The answers are warm, detailed, simple (mostly) and relate to questions that haunt everyone.

It seems like every few years they find new evidence and come up with a new big theory which contradicts the old theory.

All they (archeologists and geologists) have is theories and extrapolations of meager evidence. I realize that psychics can't prove anything they do either. We all choose what we want to believe.

The theory of plate tectonics has been proven and accepted in science since the 70's. There are a lot of evidence behind it. If we don't believe things that have been proved by scientific methods, we can't believe in any science at all, and that brings us back to the dark ages. If you check up on plate tectonics , you'll find that all modern geologists support it.

A recent story regarding a possible source of the Atlantis story, the date period is somewhat less, a factor of ten I think but it has been suggested before that there could have been a date error when translating the original account.

Satellite images 'show Atlantis'

By Paul Rincon
BBC News Online science staff  

A scientist says he may have found remains of the lost city of Atlantis. Satellite photos of southern Spain reveal features on the ground appearing to match descriptions made by Greek scholar Plato of the fabled utopia.

Dr Rainer Kuehne thinks the "island" of Atlantis simply referred to a region of the southern Spanish coast destroyed by a flood between 800 BC and 500 BC

See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3766863.stm for the full story.

well, it's all conjecture pretty much, but i read that Atlantis was actually at its prime before the last ice age, about 35,000 years ago. I don't think anyone has conclusively found what is left of it yet, and if it WERE that long ago, water and sand and rock would have long ago buried it and its secrets. Still, what do i know? I wish someone would find the damn place so we quit wondering about it!

by the way boydster, the map you posted of Atlantis above is the EXACT shape of the map in A Dweller on Two Planets, a book i'm reading that is supposedly about a channeled account of a man that lived during the era of Atlantis. He contacted a human about, oh, sixty or seventy years ago and told him this story, which reads very cleanly in prose format. But the map in the preface is identical to the continent between america and europe.

I've read "A Dweller on Two Planets" about 8 times....it's an amazing book.

Kind of interesting....the map you refer to was hand drawn by Phylos young scribe at his direction, while the progressive time maps I posted above were made by talented psychics within the Theosophical organization--different people who had no discourse and done at different times. Couple that with the enormous amount of data that Cayce released and you've got quite a bit of corroboration.

Also, an enormous amount of hypnotic regression conducted in the 20th century has yielded countless, (recorded) detailed memories of lives lived there. It feels a bit odd to be even debating the issue.

Narfellus,

It's probably hard to decide when the prime of Atlantis was. That civilization lasted for over 50,000 years in one form or another. It would rise, thrive, engage in war, fall into darkness again and start all over. Plus, their continent suffered 2 catastophic losses of land mass before the final sinking. They had some ups and downs, to say the least.

Spiritually they were an interesting race. The older the race became, the more integrated became science and religion/spirituality. It all eventually blended together under the banner of "knowledge". Something for us to strive for in my opinion.

I find your other story about the magnetic poles shifting also interesting. I believe the poles have shifted numerous times in the past. Amazingly, some scientists are beginning to believe that this is possible. I saw a science special on PBS TV years ago where they used this theory to explain the existence of tropical plants and animals found quick frozen under ice sheets in Siberia.

Yes, there is TONS of evidence that Atlantis existed, but little physical. It's amazing that naysayers can even deny it's existense, for it has been such an integral part of human history and myth for so long, there must be some validity.

I haven't finished Dweller yet but it is quite fascinating.

You would be very interested in the Kryon's books, an angel of magnetic service. He has never been in lesson on earth, but the information he imparts is fantastic. I have to tell you about the Temple of Rejuvenation.


(//forums/uploaded/narfellus/temple.jpg)

I scanned this from the book. Kryon spends a whole chapter describing in detail the essence of Atlantean healing processes, how the knowledge was gained and utilized and ultimately lost. Basically, it all uses polarity and electromagnetism. All organs of the body have individual polarity, and through group effort, a priest or priestess (the person with the highest energy that day) and the willingess and intent of the PATIENT to be healed (it is a conscious and painless group effort) they would enter this temple for 3 days and expand their lives well beyond the norm.

Each of the "legs" served as an entry or exit point for patient or priests, very formal because, as Kryon explains, Spirit likes official procedure and ritual. Repitition breeds remembrance, an imprint on the subconscious.

Our scientists know A LOT about electromagnetism, but not enough. They don't know how to utilize the healing aspects of it yet. It is still an esoteric "new age" concept that lacks validity.

As i mentioned before, the most interesting part of the Atlantis chapter (to me anyway) was Kryon's story of WHY they were destroyed, and it is very very relevant to our modern spiritual growth and reincarnation.

The veil was very weak in Atlantis. Instead of searching for enlightenment, they were practically HANDED it. This did not serve their lesson on earth, as this is the planet of Free Choice, and the divine host was very excited to be part of that as we were the first. They let Atlantis exist a long long time with the veil as it was in hopes of self correction (oh, 50,000 years or so maybe) but it never did. It got worse, they grew powerful alongside arrogant, with superscience and slavery hand in hand. They had great abilities and knowledge but little appreciation for how it was obtained.

So kryon and the others adjusted the grid, finally destroying the continent and setting up the Veil so that we, as humans, would have little to no knowledge of our divinity. They wanted to avoid this as such destruction would set in place extreme karma, but it had to be done. Such karmna is still being played out to this day.

Fear of enlightenment (as i learned)is one such holdover from Atlantis. They felt as if they were PUNISHED for learning or knowing too much. Today, it is not the same. We have through group planetary effort raised the vibration, we have fought for what we have, and the gift of ascension is ours for the taking, but the seed FEAR is still there and must be beaten. We will not be destroyed again for we have learned lessons in the ways that spirit wanted us to, through trial and error and pain and tears.

I've said it before and i'll say it again, the Kryon books are my favorite, and i've read a lot of metaphyscis. Do you know how it is when you read something and it just sings to TRUTHFULLY to you heard and soul you can hardly put it down, that's how it is to me. His words are as soothing as a very trusted, very smart, and very kind friend. An old friend.

That's exactly the problem - people see it as a myth, a simple story from the past, and without physical (archeological) evidence it will always remain so.

The same goes for all these supposed advanced civilisations from long ago (outrageous that people are on about advanced cultures from 100,000 years ago!).  How can you claim something existed without physical, tangible proof?

A question that this whole genre raises for me is what does this 'knowledge' do for current humanity? There are the claims of great knowledge, spirituality etc but at the end of the day the various sources would have us believe that the power of the Atlantean knowledge was abused and that brought the curtain down.

A cynic might say 'What a surprise, humanity fails again, another blot on the human psyche' :)
I suppose it could be claimed that a target is being set for current humanity to aim for but will it all end in tears again :)

Here is my understanding of it:

At the height of Atlantis they had access to vast knowledge too soon and too easily. They did not appreciate their spiritual growth because they had to do very little to attain it. Some people had more than others, and the balance was not equal. The Veil that was set in place that keeps people from remembering their divinity when they are born was VERY weak. So eventually that civilization was torn down (sounds brutal, i agree), covered up by time, under the ocean and sand and rock, and a stronger Veil was set in place.

The history of Atlantis has VERY much to do with our current world and reincarnation because it serves as an example of what we can achieve through timely effort and cohesion and spiritual growth as a race. God didn't want a bunch of little gods walking around willy nilly with no idea of how they got there. He wanted us to go through the growing pains of figuring it out for ourselves and sharing it with others. God (who IS us) wants to go through the process of remembering WHO HE IS.

Another simpler way to look at it is this: If you were God and knew everything, what would you do for fun? He decided to let tiny pieces of himself forget how cool he is, and then have fun remembering again. over and over and over and over and over...

But that's just my two cents. to each his own. [8D]

Here is a link to the Plato account plus some other info. http://www.auburn.edu/~downejm/sp/epsaas/epsaasPlato.html
This link draws some modern academic thinking into the possible sources for the Atlantis story. http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/greeks/atlantis_01.shtml

I think that the spiritual component is a somewhat modern day addition which may or may not have a basis in fact. As such what role should it have in shaping current thinking and direction?

As you say, just my two pence worth :)

I would add from my reading the Greeks did have an interesting view of the other worlds in that they were described as being very much integrated with their physical view or perhaps better described as existing with a thin veil between one world and the next which I have always found an interesting concept :)

Yeah, i like that concept too. In the sense that everything is just a vibation of light, and we are overlayed every second by invisible sound waves, microwaves, radiowaves, etc, it's certainly plausible that hidden dimensions are all around.

God, there better be, if not, life in earth would just be so BORING if all there was to do is watch tv, sports and politics. bleh

According to Cayces past life research, atlantis did exist.

But I have my doubts about this. My reasons for not believing this is that the only real source is Platon's text. According to that text
Athens was Atlantis enemy. If so Athens would be 13000 years old also, yet no traces of such an old civilisation can be found at Athens.

A gigantic floodwave came over the whole world and crushed Atlantis' and Athens' forces. No traces has been found of such a gigantic floodwave.

Atlantis was dominated by a huge capital city, situated on a plain with mountains around.  If this city was so huge, it should be easy to find.

I'd like to hear other peoples opinions about this.
