Was This Atlantis?
Examination of the possible location and the reason of its disappearance.
Version Française.
Are there other dates and events?
Among
the dates and events, are the three dates given by the famous
American medium-seer, Mr. Cayce. He located three successive
destructions, as some myths do too. The first is around fifty
thousand years before Christ, a second around twenty-two thousand
years and the third about ten thousand seven hundred years before
Christ. In addition Mr. Cayce places the flood at twenty-two
thousand years before Christ and a shift of the poles at fifty
thousand years before Christ. What may seem strange is the fact that
moving the poles, mentioned by Cayce in his readings, did not take
place at the same time as the flood. On the other hand, the dates
and events he's citing don't explain the sudden melting of glaciers
of the Ice Age, nor the fact that the mammoths were frozen alive.
This does not say that Plato or Cayce were wrong. Were they both
right? We will probably never know, unless we go back in history
with a machine to travel back in time. But these machines exist yet
only in science fiction. These are obviously different
informations, especially since Cayce saw flashes of past lives of
people who took a consultation with him for other reasons, whereas
Plato had a written document dating back thousands of years. This
may have been a document filed by the Atlanteans in Egypt. It's a
fact that Cayce had mentioned this, because he said the Atlanteans
had their documents archived in the Yucatan of Mexico today, another
part with the Egyptians and a third part in a pyramid at home. The
events themselves could be of a later date, so that the information
received by Plato was not complete, and that these documents
reflected the situation of Atlantis at the time of the backup of the
archives and not at the time of its disappearance. It's more likely
that Cayce, who especially saw things through reincarnations of
people that he treated during the meetings he called readings, are
partial visions made by these people. His vision of Atlantis is
likely to be a mosaic of different views obtained one by one, instead
of a more complete and comprehensive view as that of Plato. The
second point is quite important, then the visions of Cayce represent
the view of ordinary people reincarnated, while the dialogues of
Plato are rather based on the official view by the leaders and
priests.
Especially since Cayce identifies the Grand Banks of the Bahamas
to have been Atlantis or at least a part of it. It's more likely
that this area was under the influence of the Atlanteans, a little
like the French DOM / TOM
of today. Consider the example we have already seen earlier in this
book, yes the example of France lost at the bottom of the sea. A
scientist who, in a few thousand years, would then start looking for
this great country of “Liberty Equality Fraternity” would
search around the islands Réunion, Guadeloupe or Madagascar,
instead of taking the evidence that would be under his eyes.
We should not criticize anyone, let alone Mr. Cayce, who was one
of the greatest among the seers and mediums, nor Plato who was above
all one of the greatest philosophers. Visions of Cayce were much
more recent than the dialogues of Plato, even though Cayce may have
had a vision, especially on the part of Atlantis that would be on
this area of the Bahamas what are now the Grand Bank of the Bahamas.
It should also be clear that the area of the Bahamas and Cuba, which
lies along a zone of tectonic movement, may be subject to rough
handling.
We can, in despite the fact that Cayce places the flood and the
displacement of the poles at different era's, though, following a
logical reasoning, estimate that some events should be linked.
Especially as a lot of information provided by Cayce are
interpretations made by people responsible to decipher the content of
his readings. It should be noted that these interpretations have led
some to claim that the poles would move the day of the year two
thousand. There were similar claims for a date there where Cayce
predicted profound changes in society. It's true that the society
had undergone major changes since 1989, but Cayce has certainly not
meant by this that there would be an atomic war or other disasters of
this kind. On the other hand, what's true with the words of Cayce is
that there have likely been many dramatic events on the dates given
by him. It's advisable in this context to inspect the curve of the
Earth's average temperature over the last fifty thousand years to
find that there have certainly been dramatic enough events on the
dates advanced by Cayce. I do, as author of this book, not want to
scare you, but according to the curve of the Earth's average
temperature, such events would even have occurred
with a regularity of a Swiss clock, ie, roughly every ten thousand
years!
Summary of dates given by Cayce:
50'000 years before Christ.
It's on
that date that Cayce places the first of the three destructions of
Atlantis and it was, as he said, accompanied by a shift of the poles.
What is certain, that there had been a major upheaval on a global
scale at that time. To convince us, we need only look at the curve
of the Earth's average temperature at that time. We can easily see
that at that date, the average temperature had dropped considerably.
Then in addition, analysis of the genetic code of mankind shows that
there has been a bottleneck around this date. Ie, they believe that
humanity had been reduced to a few thousand individuals only.
22'000 years before Christ.
Apart
from a temporary fall of the Earth's average temperature, there is
nothing particular to report on that date, although Cayce had located
the deluge there. This date is unfortunately beyond those twenty
thousand years where the lava will dissolve in seawater but it may be
that there had been a major disaster, but not necessarily the one
that had caused the disappearance of Atlantis. Especially when we
consider the words of Plato, since he had specified that there were
floods. Remember that Plato had emphasized the plural of these
events.
10'700 years before Christ.
The
date of 10'700 years before Christ is actually quite close to the
other dates, although a difference of one thousand years may seem
enormous, it's important to remember that no indication is available
concerning this date. We are indeed limited to an estimate based on
some rather vague indications. What we know is that mammoths
disappeared twelve thousand years ago. We also know that most of
these mammoths were frozen alive. There is also the beginning of the
melting glaciers of the Ice Age at the time. But to say that this
all was at 9'200, 9'800 or ten thousand and
something before Christ, is an entire different story. Excavations
carried out here and there had shown that some regions had
experienced excessive rainfall and had a thin layer of sediment
suggesting a fall of an asteroid ten to twelve thousand years ago.
But none of these findings is specific enough to tell a date with
sufficient accuracy. The only detail that remains is the zodiac of
Denderah and the strange alignments of planets, both of which
correspond with the date given by Plato.
The dates of the Maya:
The
Mayan people were great observers, who knew astronomy to perfection.
Such perfection that it was not until the twentieth century and the
NASA satellites to at least match. The Mayan people, in any case
their priests, obviously based themselves on the positions of
planets. Their schedule looks like to correspond to particular
positions that the planets Mars, Venus and Jupiter occupy roughly
every five thousand years. They started a new cycle, or age on
specific dates. We have had since the disappearance of Atlantis, two
of those dates. Including that one of these dates is very close to
the date given by Plato and is located at 8'238 years before Christ.
Then there is a second, which is located at 3'113 years before
Christ. These dates don't match, contrary to what Mr Otto H Muck
thought, to planetary alignments. The Maya had entered in a temple
another pair of dates separated by two weeks. They placed this event
at 2'794 years before Christ. What is strange that this date is
very close both in time and duration to the time where some “experts”
found that the flood described by the Bible should have taken place.
But such research in the Bible is still quite unclear, because these
“experts” get this year by adding up the ages of biblical
characters, whose accuracy remains to be seen.
The Biblical flooding:
As we
have seen in the previous lines, some “experts” found the
deluge described by the Bible in a range from 2'500 to 2'900 years
before Christ. The only problem with this event on those dates is
that the Egyptians have not noted anything in this regard. They
didn't even allude to a catastrophic flood due to rain. In addition
it must be remembered that some great pyramids were built in the same
period. We can ask ourselves why they hadn't noticed such an event.
Then the explanation may be that the occurrence of the flood
described in the Bible, hadn't occurred during this period, but
should be at a date much earlier.
The zodiac of Denderah:
In the
Egyptian temple of Denderah was a stone, which is now in the Louvre,
representing a zodiac and being a little particular. This zodiac is
in fact a timetable of 25'920 years. It's a fact that the point
where the day has the same length as the night, the spring equinox,
therefore, moves one degree every seventy-two years. A small
calculation shows that the signs of the zodiac which are moving at
the same rate, that the spring zodiacal sign changes every 2160
years. What is peculiar in that zodiacal stone, is the fact that the
sign of Leo is represented by a lion in a boat. Some attributed it
to an event like the flood that the lion is in a boat. Moreover,
this sign seems to be at a date around 9792 BC. This date accords
strangely with the one where Plato places the destruction of
Atlantis. What is curious is that these dates are in the midst of
two of the three dates of complete alignment of planets. We can, on
the other hand, have some doubt about the accuracy of this date of
9792 years, because in the absence of other information, it will be
difficult to determine the location of the sign of Leo on the stone
to allow a precise dating.
Dates of planetary alignment:
It's Mr
Otto H Muck to have the merit of having had the idea that a complete
alignment of the planets could have resulted in the crash of an
asteroid on the Earth. According to him, such an alignment should
have deflected a big enough asteroid from its usual path, so it would
have been captured by Earth's gravity. The consequences of such an
event can easily be guessed: the asteroid eventually falls and will,
according to its size and where it falls, cause extensive damage. A
type of alignment particularly supportive of deflecting an asteroid
from its path, is the alignment where all celestial bodies, including
the Sun, were the same side of the Earth. We can, with our apologies
to the followers of astrology, excluded from this list of minor
planets as planets Mercury and Mars. Because these two planets are
either too far or have a too small mass to have had any influence on
the path of an asteroid moving a little too close to the Earth. It's
not that their influence would be zero, but the ratio between their
masses and their distance is too great, we must especially realize
that gravity decreases with the square of the distance. To determine
this alignment, we should not rely on astrological data, since
astrology is based on the visual effect produced by the positions of
these planets in the sky. Then some programs of astronomical
calculations are not very useful either, because they also show the
visual position in the sky. What we need is a vision of the solar
system seen from the above. What we look for example, that the Earth
and Venus occupy the position in February, and all the other planets
in the position of August.
With a small computer calculation, since the data is freely
available on the website of the NASA, we learn that there are three
rows of these dates which are quite close to the date of the alleged
destruction of Atlantis. These alignments had taken place in the
year 9'537 BC in January, in the year 9'716 BC in February and in the
year 9'895 BC in March. What is particularly interesting is that
American Indians had reported a deluge flooding the plain in winter,
which fell in the summer of today, considering that the spring
equinox has moved some 165° since. Then, by inspecting the
difference in the angle between the inclination of the Earth and the
orbital inclination of the Moon, we have left the periods of
January-March or August-October for a possible impact.
