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.
