Atlantis - The Lost Continent Finally Found

We present, in these pages and in our recently released book, a novel theory on Atlantis that will, if accepted, cause a revolution in the fields of archaeology and the human sciences, rendering them fit for the encroaching Millennium. Atlantis was never found because we have all been looking in the wrong places. Realizing that, we started to look for the spot where an entire sunken continent could be hiding itself. Geology afforded the correct, irrefutable answer: down under the South China Sea, that is where. The rest followed quite naturally and, in fact, far more serendipitously than we ourselves could ever have imagined beforehand.

For the tantalizing details, just keep reading, and you will see that we have also found, as a surplus, the Garden of Eden, the Island of Avalon, the Garden of the Hesperides, the hideout of the New Jerusalem, the true location of Troy and of Lanka, as well as the Holy Land and Paradise that has been promised us all from the dawn of time. Yes, Atlantis is rising from the waves, bright as the Phoenix and clean and virginal as the Venus of Botticelli.

The Atlantis Book - The Lost Continent Finally Found

Introduction

"Unlocking the Secrets of Plato’s Lost Continent"

Atlantis, The Lost Continent Finally Found, released on August 2005, is Prof. Arysio Santos' latest work. Following the same line of thought that made his homonymous website become the most popular in its category, having received more than 2.5 million visits within the past few years, he explains in this book his Theory on Atlantis, using an infinitude of arguments, which range from the strictly scientific (such as Geology, Linguistics, and Anthropology) to the more arcane and occult ones.

A professional scientist with a PhD in Nuclear Physics and Free-Docency in Physical-Chemistry, the author has dedicated himself intensely to the study of the Atlantis problem, for about 30 years now. Being the first one to ever link the catastrophic events of the end of the last Ice Age (11.600 years ago) with the world-wide traditions of the universal Flood and the destruction of Atlantis, Prof. Santos managed to find a perfect site for the location of the Lost Continent. Such site strives unrivaled as being the most logical one ever proposed, matching all the features mentioned by the Greek philosopher Plato, as well as those cited by other sources.

The reader will be confronted with strongly based evidence of all sorts to the existence of Atlantis, written by a reputed scientist, enough to shake the beliefs of the most hard-core skeptic. This book should also please the fans of the occult and symbolic disciplines, as the author frequently interconnects them with Atlantis and explains their meaning. Illustrated with over 30 line-art figures and printed in high quality white paper, Prof. Santos’ book is a must for everyone interested in the subject of Atlantis and lost civilizations.

Atlantis in Myths and Religion

Atlantis is the ultimate source of all mythologies and all religions. Indeed, the essence of the ancient Mystery Religions — from which Christianity sprung — centered on the theme of Atlantis and its demise in the cataclysm we call the Flood. The eschatology — that is, the doctrine of final things such as Doom and the Resurrection of the Dead — of Millenarian Religions such as Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism all issue rather directly from the myths of Atlantis and its terrible fate.

So do traditions such as the Grail Cycle and the myth of the Wandering Hero in search of Paradise. Indeed, Atlantis is no other than the Primordial Paradise, which was the source from where the gods and angels brought the Gospels and the seeds of knowledge in the dawn of times. In this section we review certain themes like the Atlantean origin of myths, symbols and rites such as the Mysteries and the Christian Sacraments which we commemorate more or less apishly, in total ignorance of their essential connection with Atlantean events.

Atlantis in the New World

The New World is perhaps the region where the civilizing impact of Atlantis is easiest to observe. In contrast with the establishment doctrine that claims the Americas were peopled via the Bering Strait and developed an autochthonous civilization, we argue that civilization, — along with a substantial component of the population of the Amerindian nations — came to the Americas via the Pacific Ocean. This is particularly the case of the more advanced cultures such as those of the Incas of Peru and the Mayas and Aztecs of Mexico.

Amerindian contacts with the Far Orient were both regular and intensive throughout antiquity. White Civilizing Heroes such as Bochica, Quetzalcoatl and Kukulkan are indeed the Nagas or Minas, the fabled Serpent Peoples of the Eastern Indies. Our arguments are based on the solid evidence afforded by the domesticated plants and animals that exist on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, and on the cultural and linguistic parallels that make of pre-Columbian America the perfect dual of the ancient Indies, and a replica of Atlantis.

Atlantis in the Old World

In this section we discuss the civilizing role of Atlantis upon the nations of the Ancient World, particularly in Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, Minoan Crete, Gaul and the British Isles. We also include articles on the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx, as well as on the Atlantean symbolism of the Egyptian temples.

We discuss the origin of the Celts and the Guanches — the mysterious blond natives of the Canary Islands — showing that both these peoples originated in the distant islands of Indonesia, the true site of the Terrestrial Paradise. In fact, Atlantis was Eden, but it was also the Elysium or Islands of the Blest, its Greek equivalent. Moreover, we discuss the reality of the legendary civilizations such as those of Troy, Phaeacia, Dilmun, Punt and Ophir, which all lay in the Far Orient, and were no other thing than Atlantis-Eden itself.

Atlantis in the Indies

The Indies — that is, India and Indonesia — are truly the sites of the two Atlantises, commemorated under the names of Atlantis and Lemuria by both Atlantologists and Occultists. Though grossly distorted by all sorts of exaggerations and misrepresentations, both Atlantises are indeed very real, and left unequivocal traces of their former existence in these remote regions of the terrestrial globe.

Those vestiges are of two sorts: traditional and archeological, and permeate every field of human endeavor. The tradition of Atlantis is very much alive in both India and Indonesia, disguised under the cover of their rich mythology and religious traditions. So is also the archeological evidence that confirms the origin of Civilization and even of humanity itself in the Indies. The Indies are indeed the site of the Terrestrial Paradise of the ancient traditions. They are also the Golden Islands, the Eldorado so ardently sought by the ancient mariners.

The Horse Sacrifice

Prof. Arysio Santos

The Horse Sacrifice of the Hindus is discussed as a symbolic representation of the Cosmic Sacrifice, the cataclysmic destruction of Lemurian Atlantis, the true site of Paradise.

The Scientific Evidence

In the present section we present some of the compelling scientific evidence we have gathered on the former existence of the sunken continent of Atlantis. These clues are so many and so cogent, once they are mooted out, that it was hard to make a selection that fits in the present page. Included is the geological evidence for the existence of the famous Sunken Continent in Indonesia. Indonesia is the real site of Atlantis, that now lies at the bottom of the South China Sea.

Moreover, we also present pages on the reality of the Flood, the cataclysm that sunk Atlantis away, at the end of the Pleistocene Ice Age. This event took place 11,600 years ago, precisely the date given by Plato in his dialogues on Atlantis. We also argue the civilizing influence of Atlantis over essentially all ancient nations, both in the arts and the techniques as well as in the philosophical and metaphysical aspects of human civilization.
