Another continent civilization that had a tremendous effect on human history was the civilization of Atlantis. Among the Berber tribes in North Africa, there was a myth of a country of Attalon, that had submerged in the Ocean and would rise again soon. The Celts believed that their ancestors came from a country known as Avalon in the west. The Basques believed that they had arrived from a country called Atlantica and that they were the great-grandchildren of the Atlantis.1 In a book written by Ignatius Donnelly and published in 1882, named “The World Before the Great Flood”, he had drawn attention to the fact that the Basque people had no similarities with other Europeans, neither in terms of language nor physical terms.2 According to Donnelly, the Basque people had migrated into Iberia from Atlantis after the flood. Basque language was a language totally specific to itself, and was identical to the language of the Paten tribe, living in South America. In Hebrew and Arabic myths, a country named “Ad” was mentioned.
It is also worth considering that the name Adam, the name of the first human being that is believed to exist on earth, had derived from Ad-Ami, which means originating from Ad community. According to Qoran, this country was punished by God, because of the sins of its people. Aztecs had always expressed that they had originated from a great island in the ocean in the East, named Aztlan. In the Scandinavian countries, people talk of a blond, blue-eyed race, which lived in a country called Atland, as their ancestors.3
Atlantis, the country claimed to have existed in the Atlantic Ocean, was announced to humanity hundreds of years before James Churchward, by the Egyptian priests, through the Greek philosopher Plato. Obviously, Atlantis was not the first civilization cradle on Earth, without any doubt. It was a colony of Mu, and in time, it had become autonomous and had turned into an empire. Alright, but why did the Egyptian priests give this secret to Plato for no reason at all? Because Plato was initiated in Egypt, and he was a brother too.4
Plato has described Atlantis through the story of Timaeus and Critias. According to the conversation between these two philosophers, Solon, who visited the city of Sais during the pharaoh Amosis period (570-525 B.C.), was informed by a master priest about Atlantis. Egyptian priest Suchis had told Solon that there used to be a great big continent beyond the strait of Gibraltar and that anyone who set out from Egypt, upon reaching the sea, could reach another continent across the ocean, passing from one island to the other. According to the priest, 9 thousand years ago (12 thousand years ago from today), due to a great flood and an earthquake, that continent submerged in the water and since then because there was no further connection with its colony Egypt, the civilization in Egypt regressed.5
Although he was in close contact with the ruling priests in Egypt for about 10 years, there is no information on whether Solon was initiated into their brotherhood or not. However, it is quite possible that he, as many of the Greek philosophers, was initiated to the temple of Osiris and was given the secrets. On the other hand, another initiated person, the Greek historian Herodotus, during his visit to Egypt, also talked to the priests, and the priests told him that their organization had existed for the past 11 thousand years.
According to Plato’s tellings, the Egyptian priest Suchis, told Solon the following:
“Those days (before the great flood) people used to have voyages in the ocean. Out in front of the strait that you call the Pillars of Hercules, there used to be an island. The size of that island was bigger than Asia Minor (Anatolia) and Libya put together. Sailing past that island, it was possible to reach the continent across surrounding the main ocean, as the sea surrounding the island was a narrow pass, whereas the other one was the main sea. And the land surrounded by it was big enough to be called a continent.
Nothing has been conveyed to you from old traditions and time-worn scientific knowledge. The great flood happened 9 thousand years ago. It seems like a legend now, but in reality, the objects turning around the world and in the skies deviated from the Earth. Severe earthquakes and floods occurred. The island of Atlantis submerged in the sea. When the gods gave the great flood disaster to earth, the shepherds in the mountains survived, whereas the people that lived in the cities were swept away by the waters. In those regions, the sea is still inaccessible, due to the routes having been covered in low mud, as the island sank in the water. However in this country, neither then, nor now, the level of water has never arisen above the fields. Thus, we may claim that everything which exists here, is the most ancient. Whatever important incident took place in the past was noted and kept in our temples. According to our divine records, our city (Sais) had been established 8 thousand years ago.
There was a temple in Atlantis, dedicated to Poseidon. Its exterior was of silver, towers were of gold, and its roof was of ivory. The laws given to the people of Atlantis by Poseidon were inscribed on Orichalcum columns and were erected inside the temple.”6
The Greek philosopher claimed that the Egyptian settlements by the banks of the Nile started 23 thousand years ago. Plato recites that Suchis told Solon, prior to the great flood, that the armies of Atlantis had invaded the countries along the Mediterranean shores, but were eventually driven back by the Athenians and were chased after all the way back to their island. However, with the great flood happening in those days, both Atlantis and the Athenian army had disappeared.
Plato states that these conversations between Solon and Suchis are said to have been transferred to him by his Egyptian teacher Priest Seknuphis. The Greek historian Herodotus states that there were 15 thousand years between the Egyptians and the times of Osiris. Aristo, on the other hand, believed that some of the monuments, and hence the pyramids in Egypt were 10 thousand years old.7
The fact that the Athenians had beaten the Atlantis army and chased them all the way to their island, concludes that both armies were technological of the same capacity. Considering that all Asian and European territories belonged to the Uyghur Empire, an ally of the Mu Empire, it is highly probable that the Athenians had beaten them with the support of this powerful Empire. This battle was like a part of a war going on between Mu and Atlantis, and on account of the occurrence of the great flood at the final stages of the war, it can be assumed that Atlantis forces, concerned about being invaded by Mu, as a final solution, had tried using the most powerful arms, and this might have caused Mu empire to reciprocate with similar weapons, which in turn caused such a disaster.8 According to ocean scientists, 11 thousand years ago, the level of the seas surrounding the Earth was 90 meters lower than that of today. For example, the eastern coast of America was 150 km. further out into the ocean than it is today. However, with the sudden melting of the glaciers, all shallow coastlines in the world were covered in water.
