Three controlled island groups in the Eastern Atlantic. I study all sources of possible information including religious writings. Here are just a few sentences I found in the Bible that seem to refer to an empire composed of ten nations. The empire seems to be segregated into seven major countries and three minor countries; all controlled by a vast central city similar to Rome’s control over the nations that comprised the Roman Empire. 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. Revelation 12:3 19 “Then I wanted to know the meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others and most terrifying, with its iron teeth and bronze claws—the beast that crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. 20 I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and about the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell Daniel 7:19 ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. 24 The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. Daniel 7:23,24 I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. 5 The name written on her forehead was a mystery: BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES, AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Revelation 17:3,4 “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. Revelation 17: 7,8 Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: “With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again. “…once was, now is not, and yet will come…” The ten nations of Atlantis seem to have existed before the writing of Revelation. They did not exist at the time of the writing of Revelation. Could this empire exist again in the future? If the answer is yes, then we may be sitting on real estate that forms part of that returning empire. Ten kings ruled by a massive city called Babylon that is visible from the sea. The Babylonian empire had a creation story that says their empire was spawn by survivors who crawled out of the sea after a great disaster. Could Babylon be New Babylon, named in memory of an earlier Babylon? Babylon, Poseidon, Avalon, Valhalla….Are these different names of the same immense city that ruled what may have been the mightiest empire on earth? This is what my seven book series will present (as fiction), The birth, burial, and unfortunate return of Atlantis. .

Scribner’s Sons (1871) Easy reference column and comments by Flying Eagle & Whispering Wind (2005) ____________________________________________________________ Portions of Timaeus and the existing portion of Critias, by Plato, describe the mighty ancient Empire of Atlantis and the honorable Empire of the Hellenes; these dialogues are conversations between Critias, Hermocrates, Timaeus and Socrates. They were highly renowned Greek scientists and philosophers, who had gathered to prepare a program for the festival to the goddess, Athene. A young scribe, known by the nickname, Plato (broad shoulders), eagerly recorded the details of their conversation. Later this young scribe’s obsession with gathering, saving and sharing knowledge would inspire him to found, The Academy; commonly referred to as the first modern university. During this conversation Critias, recited an ancient unfinished poem, which he had memorized when he was 10 years old. This poem was written by Solon, the wisest of the seven sages of Greece. This poem reveals the ancient history, culture, geography, politics; ...and the catastrophic destruction of these two ancient empires. ____________________________________________________________ The original dialogues may be downloaded from many sources on the internet including: Project Gutenburg; You may view or download; Critias and Timaeus. ____________________________________________________________ coyright:COSMIC VORTEX, 2005 1 The Horses of Neptune by Walter Crane, 1845-1915 The Extraordinary Inundation of Atlantis and Attica; a catastrophic flood of biblical proportions.

Atlantis in the Amazon : Lost Technologies and the Secrets of the Crespi Treasure / Richard Wingate
ATLANTIS IN THE AMAZO N “This is a long-overdue book by an authority on the Carlo Crespi collection and what it means to our understanding of the first travelers to the Americas, long before Columbus. Not only is the case made for Atlantis in the Amazon, but Wingate also shows how this collection sounds a clear warning that humanity’s destructive ways are drawing us ever nearer to the same annihilation that wiped out this once thriving and advanced culture. Sadly, Wingate makes the case for the high probability that we are to go the way of Atlantis by continuing to use nuclear energy.” ROBERT R. HIERONIMUS, PH.D., AUTHOR OF FOUNDING FATHERS, SECRET SOCIETIES AND HOST OF 21STCENTURYRADIO.COM “The controversial Crespi Collection is presented here by the man who personally examined its artifacts before they were confiscated by Ecuadoran authorities.

About the Series: For over years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Particular characteristics of matter, such as water's capacity to extinguish fire, was then related to shape and size of the constituent triangles. Though each function individually, the ultimate design is one of interconnectivity. And this is reason why the names of the ancients have been preserved to us and not their actions. Now a large family of distinguished sons sprang from Atlas; d but it was the eldest, who, as king, always passed on the scepter to the eldest of his sons, and thus they preserved the sovereignty for many generations; and the wealth they possessed was so immense that the like had never been seen before in any royal house nor will ever easily be seen again; and they were provided with everything of which provision was needed either in the city or throughout the rest of the country. We must endeavor next to repeat the account of the rest of the country, a what its natural character was, and in what fashion it was ordered. But I should like to make my meaning clearer, if Timaeus, you will follow me. Welliver, Warman Timaeus and Critias by Plato ,. Barefoot in Athens film Socrates film.

Plato's Dialogue Critias Is the Second in What Had Been Planned As A
Plato (ca. 427––ca. 347 BCE), written 360 BCE Adapted from the 1871 translation by Benjamin Jowett (1817–1893) lato’s dialogue Critias is the second in what had been planned as a trilogy of discourses. In Critias, which follows along Pclosely after the action of Timaeus, Socrates continues to discuss the story of the war between Athens and Atlantis. The description of Atlantis from this dialogue follows. Critias is speaking: And next, if I have not forgotten what I heard when I was a child, I will impart to you the character and origin of [the Athenians’] adversaries. For friends should not keep their Map of Atlantis by esotericist Athanasius Kircher, S.J. stories to themselves, but have them in common. from Mundus Subterraneus (1665) Yet, before proceeding further in the part of the island, which I will describe. narrative, I ought to warn you, that you must Looking towards the sea, but in the center of not be surprised if you should perhaps hear the whole island, there was a plain which is Hellenic names given to foreigners.

Atlantis the Antedeluvian World Ignatius Donnelly
Atlantis The Antedeluvian World By Ignatius Donnelly ATLANTIS: THE ANTEDILUVIAN WORLD PART I THE HISTORY OF ATLANTIS CHAPTER I THE PURPOSE OF THE BOOK This book is an attempt to demonstrate several distinct and novel propositions. These are: 1. That there once existed in the Atlantic Ocean, opposite the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea, a large island, which was the remnant of an Atlantic continent, and known to the ancient world as Atlantis. 2. That the description of this island given by Plato is not, as has been long supposed, fable, but veritable history. 3. That Atlantis was the region where man first rose from a state of barbarism to civilization. 4. That it became, in the course of ages, a populous and mighty nation, from whose overflowings the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, the Mississippi River, the Amazon, the Pacific coast of South America, the Mediterranean, the west coast of Europe and Africa, the Baltic, the Black Sea, and the Caspian were populated by civilized nations. 5. That it was the true Antediluvian world; the Garden of Eden; the Gardens of the Hesperides; the Elysian Fields; the Gardens of Alcinous; the Mesomphalos; the Olympos; the Asgard of the traditions of the ancient nations; representing a universal memory of a great land, where early mankind dwelt for ages in peace and happiness. 6. That the gods and goddesses of the ancient Greeks, the Phoenicians, the Hindoos, and the Scandinavians were simply the kings, queens, and heroes of Atlantis; and the acts attributed to them in mythology are a confused recollection of real historical events.

The Island Kingdom of Atlantis As Told by the Critias of Plato
The island kingdom of Atlantis as told by the Critias of Plato The story of the island kingdom of Atlantis as told by the Critias of Plato v. 17.11, www.philaletheians.co.uk, 7 June 2018 Page 1 of 14 ATLANTEAN REALITIES SERIES THE CRITIAS OR ATLANTICUS OF PLATO Introduction by Thomas Taylor, Esq. It is a singular circumstance, that though there is not, perhaps, anything among the writings of the ancients which has more generally attracted the attention of the learned in every age than the Atlantic history of Plato, yet no more than one single passage of about twenty or thirty lines has, prior to my translation of the Timæus, appeared in any modern language. Much has been said and written by the moderns respecting the Atlantic island; but the extent of the original source has not even been suspected. That the authenticity of the following history should have been questioned by many of the moderns, is by no means surprising, if we consider that it is the history of an island and people that are asserted to have existed NINE THOUSAND years prior to So- lon; as this contradicts the generally-received opinion respecting the antiquity of the world. However, as Plato expressly affirms, that it is a relation in every respect true,1 and, as Crantor,2 the first interpreter of Plato, asserts, “that the following history was said, by the Egyptian priests of his time, to he still preserved inscribed on pillars,”3 it appears to me to be at least as well attested as any other narration in any ancient historian.

Arcadian King Atlas and Plato's Atlantis
1 Arcadian King Atlas and Plato’s Atlantis Oliver D. Smith, Independent Researcher [email protected] Abstract1 Plato in his dialogue Critias (c. 355 BCE) wrote about an imaginary king named Atlas and an island civilisation (Atlantis) which derived its name from him. This article argues Plato based his king Atlas on a mythical Arcadian king of the same name and his main inspiration for Atlantis was the town Methydrium and nearby city Megalopolis, both in Arcadia. Based on an ancient anecdote, it is argued Plato might have visited Megalopolis in the 360s BCE. 1 This paper was submitted to two peer-reviewed classics journals, but the manuscript was rejected; it has therefore been self-published with few revisions. The author would like to thank feedback provided by Dr. Jordon Houston. 2 Introduction The island of Atlantis is almost certainly imaginary.2 On the other hand, it is disputed by classical scholars what real location (if any at all) Plato based his fictional island on. There are several places Plato visited or knew about that could have influenced his description of Atlantis in the same way J. R. R. Tolkien likely drew inspiration for his Middle-earth from real places he was familiar with.3 One popular idea is Plato modelled Atlantis on Minoan Crete.4 However, “resemblance of the two locations is, really, very slight, and much special pleading is needed to show how Atlantis could have been based on Crete”.5 It would also be difficult to explain how Plato (c. 428 – c. 347 BCE) possessed detailed knowledge of Minoan civilisation; Greeks (when Plato was alive) “remembered very little at all about the fifteenth century BC”.6 More plausible places suggested by scholars include Ecbatana, Persia, Syracuse, Athens and Helike.7 King Atlas None of the aforementioned real places that could have inspired Atlantis explain Plato’s pseudo-mythology of the king Atlas in his dialogue Critias (c.
