Atlantis: Fact or Fiction?

by The Quail 1957 in Folklore, July 26, 2008

A look at different theories on the lost continent Atlantis, and a look at “What If”, thinking outside of the box.

Atlantis was a great continent. Plato wrote about it as early as 360 B.C. Timaeus is one of two books that he had written, Critias his second book he was unable to complete; it is not clear to as why.

Other then these two written Manuscripts, there appears to be no other primary ancient account of Atlantis. All that write about Atlantis have had to at one time or another refer back to Plato’s manuscripts, being that they are the only recordings of such an event.

In the artist drawn below is the city of Atlantis. It is a very impressive likeness to that of the real Atlantis as I have seen it to be in my mind so I felt it has earned its rightful place in this my theory on Atlantis. Many have had dreams and past life experiences that point to their living in this great city. A city that appeared to have vanished beneath the sea in what some say was a great earthquake. Others say it was an explosion of tremendous force; originating from the great city’s center, that caused it to sink beneath the sea.

Some of the ancient philosophers viewed Atlantis as fiction including Aristole. However, in antiquity there also many that did believe in its existence and they too were historians, geographers and philosophers.

Even some of the great thinkers of our time have theorized that Plato’s writings concerning the lost continent of Atlantis were nothing more then the work of fiction to fuel his political career.

However, Evidence does exist that points to the reality that such a great continent and city did indeed at one time exist. Some of the relics and ruins that lay beneath the sea point to this.

Another fascinating discovery discovered at the Maya ruins at Coba, is a tablet with pictures that describe an escape from a cataclysm depicted by exploding volcanoes and collapsing temples.

The Maya legends state that their ancestors came from a great land in the Eastern Sea; it was destroyed by a great cataclysm and sank beneath the ocean. The Amer Indian traditions refer to this land as Azthan or Atlan and other similar names that, not-surprisingly, sound very much like Atlantis.

The crystal pyramids of Atlantis another interesting thought to ponder.

Could subterranean crystal pyramids power Atlantis? I believe so. We use crystals in almost everything electronic we build today, such as watches, instruments and even our computers.

Crystals are enhancer’s of energy; they store energy as well. Just think where humanity might be now if they had taken an interest in exploring the possibilities of using crystal technology instead of wasting our natural resources.

There are even Egyptian Hieroglyphics with ties to Atlantis. They speak of flying air ships such as these below.

They also tell of those that came from the sky in machines that harnessed great destructive power and referred to them as the ancient astronauts. Theories about Atlantis have often linked sightings of ancient astronauts to the Atlantean space ships.

Atlantis is said to have been bigger then the North America Continent and was diminished twice by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and destroyed a third time by a world War Three. This war is said, to be the direct confrontations of warring races that settled on the planet from off world destinations.

This is another interesting point to ponder in that it opens the door to many theories such as the one I bring before you the reader now. It is my strong belief that Atlantis was a physical portal through which off world races were allowed to enter.

 

Image Source

The planet has many portals scattered all over it but the main doorway to our world was Atlantis and through this passage, other alien races could emerge easily as long as it was to remain open. The remaining portals fanned out from the Great City Atlantis much like that of a spider’s web. Atlantis was the Jewel of all the portals the controlling center piece to which all other portal were connected.

The ancient dwellers of Atlantis realized that the ongoing warring between the off world visitors would eventually interfere with the normal development of our race. It was beginning to show early in our development as man began to incorporate the ancient technological advancements that the Atlantean and other off world dwellers had brought with them. We were as young children playing with dangerous toys that might well have destroyed us if not brought into check.

Image Source

The image above was believed to be that of a huge light bulb constructed by the ancient Egyptians but later disputed by some other researchers claiming it to be part of a magical belief practiced by the priest of that area. I however feel it is the early development of the light bulb.

The portals of Atlantis would allow the travelers to fold time in onto its self, which would cause the Slip Streaming Effect. They could travel to any pre-selected place or point in time almost instantly.

Image Source

The Atlantis Portal being the master key to all the doorways once destroyed would take away the easy accessibility and though most of the power source was destroyed, the other remaining doorways would open from time to time still allowing the spasmodic visitation of the other races to our world. This would also explain the random opening and closing of the remaining portals.

Each portal would be powered by the grid of crystal deposits buried deep beneath the earth. These grids as I call them are like strands of a spider’s web branching out from the main portal Atlantis, to encase the globe. The reason that these doorways are still active is due to the energy that is still stored and reproduced by their crystalline deposits.

Image Source

The image above shows the extent these many crystalline deposits believed to be deposited around the globe. Interesting concept it is and each connecting line forms a triangle. Now that may be some more ”food for thought” for those of you that like thinking outside the “Box” like me the writer.

This brings me to yet another conclusion. The master gem I call the Blue Crystal, Much like the hope diamond only much larger that was pieced together in sections. It I feel could be the brain of the crystal chambers that controlled the machine that open and closed the main portal.

Image Source

The Hope Diamond above as shown under an ultraviolet light is capable of storing and creating very powerful energy. The Atlantean in their great wisdom may have decided to remove and divide the huge gem into 13 segments representing the 13 tribes of man. Each tribe spread out over the planet creating its own belief system hence the saying, “All Faiths lead to one”.

I will further this explanation also by suggesting that Atlantis may not have been actually destroyed. She could be incased in a force field created by the ancient Atlantean and buried beneath the rubble that seems to be scattered over the ocean floor.

The electromagnetic field that may surround the inner city could not be seen by any of the tools we have at our disposal today. This is just a thought. I believe that once all the segments are collected and put in place that the Lost Continent of Atlantis, will raise again.

You be the judge.

    A very true piece of research and own vision on Atlantis. Really impressing. I have a poem about Atlantis ‘A World Divided’ which I intend to publish with Triond.

    Thank you for your comment Jrad,When Columbus told the scholers of his time, that the world was round and not flat like they beleived, they told him the same thing. “Kind of far fetched” but his mind was open and he to could think outside the “Box” and did he also not prove the great minds of his time that they were wrong. Just a little food for thought. Thankyou for your imput was appreciated.

    There are a couple of theories here I’d near heard of before. This is a wonderful article and now it has me thinking. Nice job!

    Living in Cyprus we here a lot about the possibility of being part of Atlantis, I enjoy reading anything on the subject when it comes along, we live high above sea level yet dig up fossil shells and coral on a daily basis, you can see it in the seam of a field wall of mud. I enjoyed this work very much, lots of new ideas and facts. Bravo The Quail

    Wonderful article. Very rich in information and one could tell that you did a lot of good research. I was always fascinated by this subject, mainly because I am from Malta, which is one of the countries that is believed to be part of Atlantis (according to some theories)

    Sorry folks I am at a loss as to where my article has gone as it was on page one and page two now it can’t be found anywheres in the listings. Strange stuff happening with Triond as of late.

    I think the ideas are gay. especially the part about the portal, get real man!

    Interesting article.
    However, a little more details would be highly welcomed on certain points such as where does this “grid” comes from? Who talked about it first? Who has drawn it? How do we know the crystals should be at those exact places?
    (I just give the example of the grid but many points could be more documented).

    In any case, that is still a very interesting article!
