  • The Legend of Atlantis
    The Legend of AtlanTis Mysterious World modified by Father Sergio 02.08.2009 PArT i: AtlanTis in hisTory Solon, Solon, you Hellenes are never anything but children, and there is not an old “O man among you." Thus began the speech by an unnamed Egyptian priest in the Timeaus1, one of only two known dialogues of Plato that mention Atlantis. Together, along with the Criteas2, these works comprise the only records of Atlantis handed down to us from antiquity. In his ensuing speech on Atlantis and ancient Athens, the priest was to rebuke Solon, and all of the Greeks, for having forgotten their own history, particularly the epic story of how valiant Athens had once defeated mighty Atlantis in ancient times and saved the world from slavery. Plato, the greatest of Greek philosophers, 427-347 BC In the Timeaus, Solon was to learn how little he truly knew, not only of the history of his own people, but of the history of Egypt, and of the world. Atlantis in Greek History Plato's Timaeus relates the true story of how one Solon (638- 559 BC), a famous "Athenian traveler, poet, and lawgiver"3 was visiting the Temple of Neithe, in the district of Sais, near the Nile Delta in lower Egypt. He had gone there as a cultural ambassador to converse with the leaders of the Egyptians about Greek history and culture, seeking to An Egyptian priest. impress them with the accomplishments of the Greeks, as well as to gain similar knowledge from them about the history of Egypt, and of the world.

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.

  • STOAA 23 Reduced
    Poseidonis Map of Atlantis according to William Scott-Elliott (The Story of Atlantis, Russian edition, 1910) Solon of Athens If the hypothesis (now so much doubted, and positively denied by some learned authors, who regard it as a joke of Plato's) is ever verified, then, perhaps, will the scientists believe that the description of the god-inhabited continent was not altogether a fable. And they may then perceive that Plato's guarded hints and his attributing the narrative to Solon and the Egyptian priests, were but a prudent way of imparting the fact to the world, and, by cleverly combining truth and fiction, so disconnecting himself from a story which the obligations imposed at initiation forbade him to divulge. –SD2:221 Mount Atlas, Bolivia 18th-century illustration of Mount Kailash, depicting the holy family: Shiva and Parvati, cradling Skanda with Ganesha by Shiva's side Athanasius Kircher's map of Atlantis, placing it in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, from Mundus Subterraneus 1669, published in Amsterdam.

  • 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. Richard Wingate’s photographs and descriptions of beautifully made objects representing Assyrian or Babylonian figures document the arrival of Near Eastern culture-bearers in South America nearly three thousand years ago.” FRANK JOSEPH, AUTHOR OF ADVANCED CIVILIZATIONS OF PREHISTORIC AMERICA CONTENTS Cover Image Title Page Epigraph Introduction PART ONE Evidence of an Ancient Civilization Father Crespi’s Treasure Chapter 1 Bimini Boogie Chapter 2 Atlantis in the Bahamas Chapter 3 First Visit to Crespi’s Treasure Chapter 4 Man, Whence, How, and Whither Chapter 5 The Sting PHOTO INSERT Chapter 6 Farewell, My Friend Chapter 7 Dinner Conversation: A Boiled Fish Surprise PART TWO The Misuse of Ancient Science and Technology The Voluntary Stone Age Chapter 8 The Mysterious Disappearance of Percy Fawcett Chapter 9 Legends of Atlantis Chapter 10 The Panecillo Laser Chapter 11 The Powerful Wooden UFOs Chapter 12 The Mahabharata Chapter 13 Time and the Atomic Latte MERCURY-POWERED AIRCRAFT Chapter 14 The Doomsday Device Chapter 15 Rocket Attack FICTION Chapter 16 The Fimbul Winter DRAMATIZATION-SPECULATION FACT Conclusion Appendix One.

    TIMAEUS AND CRITIAS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Plato,Desmond Lee,Thomas Kjeller Johansen | 176 pages | 25 Nov 2008 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9780140455045 | English | London, United Kingdom Timaeus and Critias PDF Book But one of them exceeds all the rest in greatness and valour. 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.
