The lost continent of Atlantis the most enigmatic mystery of all times for centuries the story of this mythical civilization has captivated the imagination of people around the world were Tales of advanced technology great wealth and Untold Treasures waiting to be discovered but was at land as just a legend did it really exist and if so what really happened to it we'll try to find out together in the new episode of secret Origins welcome it is not by chance that we have been so intrigued by the legends of Atlantis because in a certain sense our current race and civilization begins from the time of Atlantis but where does this myth of this mysterious sunken island come from one of the most famous and early mentions of Atlantis comes from the Greek philosopher Plato around 360 BC in two of his dialogues critius and Timaeus Plato gave a detailed description of a country on a fertile land that he called Atlantis he describes it as a vast Island which before sinking around 10 000 Years BC was located in the Atlantic Ocean beyond the pillars of Hercules which are generally thought to refer to the Strait of Gibraltar his knowledge of Atlantis most likely came from Solon an Athenian lawmaker and philosopher who around 600 BC on a trip to Egypt learned of a great civilization that has existed nine thousand years earlier the subject of Atlantis fascinated Plato and it is believed that in order to learn more he consulted with students of Pythagoras and others who were familiar with the ancient mythological historical and geological knowledge undoubtedly Plato received some of his knowledge from initiates who were members of secret brotherhoods guarding the ancient histories in the past as you know these Mystery Schools kept wisdom from the uninitiated as it helped ensure the safety of knowledge during danger for most of his life Plato refrained from writing about Atlantis only as he neared the end of his life did he pass on his information about the sunken continent in attempt to ensure that the Lost civilization's history is preserved for his account of Atlantis Plato also had access to ancient records such as though in the remarkable Library of Alexandria which Edgar Casey says was established by the atlanteans in 10 300 BC Plato's Atlantis was certainly a large island perhaps the size of Western Europe but by no means the size of an actual continent according to him it possessed an abundance of natural resources and was particularly rich in metals including the famous and mysterious Ori calcum the capital of Atlantis was located on the south coast of the island and was connected to the Sea by a huge Canal the city had a circular shape of three concentric Rings separated by moats the inner Citadel was about five kilometers in diameter but the entire walk area measured 23 kilometers this made the city about twice the size of Imperial Rome in the central island stood the Palace of the Kings and the main Temple of Atlantis in Plato's words the atlanteans possessed such an amount of wealth as had never before been possessed by Kings and rulers and is unlikely ever to be again the few things which the city and Island itself did not provide were brought to them from foreign countries because of the greatness of their empire Plato's most famous dialogue about Atlantis the critius unfortunately survives incomplete but from another of his dialogues the laws we learned that Atlantis was destroyed in a single day and night due to a catastrophic event and this fall was followed by a long dark age in which all the Arts and Sciences were lost but can we trust Plato for his account of Atlantis and do we know how the surface of the Earth and in particular the part around the northwest coast of Africa looked like more than 12 000 years ago at the time of the supposed existence of Atlantis although Plato's account certainly provides interesting information about the existence of Atlantis it still does not give us enough data as to where exactly Atlantis was located to learn more we must turn to geology and oceanography to the study of the evolution of the world's oceans it is theorized that Atlantis was a volcanic continent located in the myth authentic Rich region and primarily connected to Europe Africa and North America by temporary land bridges Atlantis has its great territorial expansion from 23 to 5.3 million years ago when it Formed an almost continuous land mass stretching from the northern Appalachian continent to the southern tip of Africa then till its disappearance Atlantis existed as two separate Islands a northern Island Ruda or poseidonis and a southern island daitya the Northern island of poseidonis still existed as a substantial land mass until the last ice age when it sank as a result of tectonic movements and a general rise in global sea levels It is believed that the Azores and Madeira are some of the last parts of the Atlantic continent still above water if we remove the Waters of the ocean to see the bottom the Mid-Atlantic Ridge would appear as a continuous mountain range comparable in length to the Andes and Rockies of America combined and in Heights comparable to the Himalayas today's Azores madeiras Cape Verde and the Canary Islands represents only the highest peaks of this submerged chain what was Atlantis really located there during the Middle Ages most ancient texts including Plato's Legend of Atlantis sank into Oblivion it wasn't until the Renaissance when people began to look back and ReDiscover ancient knowledge that interest in this sunken island resurfaced over the past 500 years many different theories have emerged about a continent lost in the Atlantic Ocean but do they match the story told by Plato or do they hide within themselves another knowledge and do we know who the atlanteans really were how was their civilization created were aliens involved in the origin of Atlantis as many speculate an interesting and a little bit more esoteric hypothesis about the origin of Atlantis comes from Ishmael Perez order of a new and very intriguing book are cosmic origin in it he tells that Atlantis was created by humanoid beings from the Pleiades in The Fifth Dimension they managed to integrate and maintain the balance between the spiritual and material worlds and as a result had a high technological development in harmony with the spiritual the preceding great civilization that of lemuria or mu was highly concentrated only on the spiritual they gradually begin to lose touch with physical reality and the lower Dimensions this would raise the level of Consciousness on the planet which was their mission but without the lower Dimensions being well integrated Atlantis was the solution to connect the law to the high dimensions and integrate the two polarities according according to azogeric teachings and theosophy Humanity develops through seven Great evolutionary Cycles called root races which must gradually develop the collective consciousness of the planet each root race has physical and mental qualities completely different from those of the previous one as well as a specific mission to follow Atlantis was the fourth root race and the force truly human and terrestrial race Helena blavatska a Russian Mystic and occultist says that the fourth root race arose about 8 Million Years BC and she called it the race of the red man but the beginning of the Atlantean civilization is shrouded in mystery according to the esoteric tradition the higher spiritual entities assumed human form and incarnated on Earth at the beginning of the Atlantean period therefore they were divine men dual beings Supreme spirits who took human bodies rolled the great philosopher and esoterrists Rudolph Steiner who also added that their true home is not on Earth the first period of Atlantean civilization gave way to a second and then a third neo-atlantean period during which Atlantean civilization spread from its Island Homeland to other parts of the world each World age or period has been separated from the previous one by natural cataclysms great Earth cataclysms of which the final submersion of Atlantis in 9600 BC was the latest do we know what the atlanteans looked like theosophical teaching describes the fourth race as Giants although their bodies were reduced in height compared to those of the lemurians they were relatively taller than us and this gave rise to numerous Legends of Cyclops and Titans mentioned in many ancient Traditions according to blavatsky the atlanteans were the race that teached the Pinnacle of physical development she says then came the azanthians the giant whose physical Beauty and strength reached their culmination in accordance with evolutionary law in principle the atlanteans possessed a third eye developed during the Lemurian race which had spiritual functions in time however with the Improvement of the human structure the materiality and the corruption of mankind the third eye gradually disappeared Edgar Casey the famous psychic and healer also talks about life in Atlantis most of its information relates to the last 20 000 years of the civilization's existence but it also gives details of the early stages of development Casey says that people appeared on Earth five places at the same time the yellow race in the Gabi the White and the carpathians the red in the Atlantic and American lands the brown and the Andes and the black in Africa this happened more than 10 million 500 years ago based on them we get the information that the five races were the sons of God mentioned in the Bible the daughters of men with whom they made the mistake of mating were actually the original strange forms left over from the early attempts at Material projection the result Was a Race of hybrids at the beginning of the Atlantean civilization a difference arose regarding these hybrids one group The Children of the law of one wanted to keep the human race pure but helped the hybrids regain their position as God's creatures the other group the sons of Belial believed only in sensual gratification and treated hybrids as slaves according to Casey Atlantis disappeared in three separate cataclysms around 50 000 BC 28 000 BC and 10 000 BC the first of these because of the use of advanced technology for destructive purposes and the second destruction was preceded by fighting between the two factions then the children of the law of unity emigrated to Peru Yucatan Nevada Colorado the Pyrenees and Egypt during the last third period of Atlantis is the time when Egypt reached a high level of civilization and the pyramids and the Sphinx were built but let's now look another story one involving the Galactic Federation and alien beings fighting for control on Earth this account about the creation of the Atlantean civilization is given by Matthias de Stefano an indigo child who remembers his distant past life in the Atlantean colony of Camp current Egypt Matthias recounts that Atlantis was built in 16 000 BC by the azir a race of extraterrestrial Giants also known as Anunnaki between the Azores canaries and Cape green Islands the azir came to Earth seeking a place to live and for digging precious metals they settled in the Middle East where they conducted DNA experiments with Earth people to create the optimal life form for the planet The Offspring of the azur and humans were atlanteans chosen for the truth and the only way for the Aizer to survive on Earth and preserve their knowledge over time the eyes are split into two groups one using humans as slaves and the other guiding and teaching them the benevolent part of the aizir and the arcturians took some of their descendants away to protect them and to let them develop independently without the direct interference of extraterrestrial Advanced civilizations from them 12 children were chosen to store information from each constellation thus creating the 12 great families of Atlantis the first island settled were khaifu Cape Green Acres Canary Islands and eunuch Azores the main city and center of the empire was called Hafiz and like Plato's description it was circular in shape at the peak of the Atlantean Empire the islands were home to around 300 000 people and due to their presence of arcturian DNA the the atlanteans had blue blood and kept their bloodline pure to preserve their knowledge from the Star people and guide the rest of humanity if the lemurians the civilization before Atlantis sought to reach a higher level of Consciousness by looking inward the atlanteans were oriented outward toward the material world they knew how to use sound and vibration to influence the world around them and they built devices to transmit information and energy all over the planet through them they could heal regenerate their bodies connect with other dimensions thus advanced technology and Cosmic knowledge of energy use gave the atlanteans incredible advantages and capabilities but as we know every single thing is good only when it is in balance and what happens when the balance is Disturbed interestingly in most of the various sources of information related to the direction of the atlanteans development the stories follow almost the same plot as receivers of the knowledge of lemuria the atlanteans begin their development from the spiritual for thousands of years they have followed the principles inherited from mu but at the same time they have also achieved unsurpassed technological success thus maintaining the balance between the inner and the outer at some point however a division occurred in one part of the atlanteans began to pursue dominance over the entire planet they started abusing the technology they have created causing a cataclysm some say a pole shift others say they directed energy weapons at themselves causing the continent to sink in esoteric beliefs this is the moment of the Fall after which Humanity loses most of its energy abilities and enters the period of Darkness in our Consciousness Atlantis is remembered as the Cradle of all that we can call occult and esoteric knowledge precisely because they mastered the use of the so-called life force for a long period of time Adventists flourished originally and from its Inception Atlantis was in accordance with the principles of lemuria which governed things according to the celestial order of light all the sister colonies honor lemuria as their motherland four lemuria was a representation of the feminine principle based on freedom Harmony and spiritual Community the early avantians lived in a perfect Society just like the lemurians and worshiped the divine feminine and balance with the Divine masculine Edgar Casey described the attendance of the early years of Atlantis as thinking people people of intuitive influence who had access to the Future and the past how did they achieve this by develop flipping the right side of the brain of their children and by respecting their insights and dreams as infants we are more open to our psychic senses not only because we're still very close to the other side of life but our speech is not fully developed so we have to rely on our feelings senses to connect with the physical world the atlanteans easily thought their children how to use their psychic abilities and generally just rely on their intuition as adults some of them developed tremendous discipline of mind and devoted their lives to applying the knowledge they acquired the lifestyle of the people of Atlantis also contributed to the preservation of their psychic abilities as they were always in close contact with the natural environment according to the Austrian occultist Rudolph Steiner the atlanteans were the first to discover how to convert the life force into a force that can be applied for technological purposes by which many any of the apparent Miracles attributed to the Atlantean science were performed Steiner describes this power as a power inherent in all living things which manifests itself through the processes of germination and growth the life force was known in ancient times as Prana or Mana occultists in the 19th and 20th Century knew it as frill meaning the universal principle of Life Energy life force or life magnetism control of the life force of real gave the atlanteans almost superhuman Powers over the entire world of manifestation and other spiritual realities with the real the atlanteans were able to control time manipulate matter reverse gravity while also providing unlimited energy to power all manner of mechanical devices they developed a technology that while different from ours is Superior in many ways the wild our fields and lush green forests of these beautiful lands were not disfigured by strips of metal and concrete to faciliate fast travel by Bullet Trains and Automobiles instead people managed to live happily without polluting the environment and depleting their natural resources Edgar Casey's readings meanwhile describe the atlanteans gaining power from the great Crystal from sound and from the splitting of the atom he says that with the energy flowing from the crystal the people of Atlantis enjoyed traveling through air water and Under the Sea Voice transmission over long distances and the benefits of lasers will the time come when we will fly freely in space just as the atlanteans and how exactly did they extract and direct This Life Energy using their highly developed skills the atlanteans were able to obtain energy from a wide variety of other sources including the Sun the mind the Earth's magnetic field and sound Edgar Casey mentions the first important crystal in Atlantis as the tuaoi stone the atlanteans originally Amplified the light that its six sides received from the Sun to enhance meditation and contemplation and to communicate with the spirit realm after thousands of years as humans became more materially oriented the priests perfected the great Crystal which when properly controlled magnified and directed the energy it gathered with the source of infinite power the atlanteans gained the ability to travel through the air on and under water to construct the huge multi-faced Stone the Atlantean scientists placed a large piece of precision cut quartz crystal on top of a building that served as a solar type transducer in this open space the facets of the crystal focused energy from the sun's Rays just as parabolic mirrors do today a movable Dome over the top of the intricate quartz stone allowed skilled Engineers to control the amount of light exposure from above the atlanteans lined the building with the crystal with a non-conductive material similar to asbestos Casey describes a central power plant on Earth that provided the energy from the great Crystal allowing the atlanteans to overcome gravity according to Casey powerful beams from the great Crystal sent the energy to receptor crystals which were charred from there the energy could be used to drive on electric or thermal engine in a vehicle or other mechanical device this was one of the several examples of the atlantean's ability to transmit energy wirelessly Casey also mentions that the big Crystal could have received energy from the stars from various sources in space we know the Bermuda Triangle stories many ships and low-flying planes have disappeared forever without any explanation in the Bermuda Triangle if the radios are working Pilots sometimes report that their engines lose power that their compasses rotate counterclockwise and that other navigational equipment behaves erratically or stops functioning suddenly passengers find that they along with their ships or planes are in thick fog could a powerful Crystal from the time of Atlantis be causing these disturbances what if there is a crystal hidden below the water that captures the sun's rays and transmit energy the moment another vehicle passes over it so far we have explored the different stories and theories about the creation of Atlantis its people and some of the Technologies they used but what caused its destruction did this great civilization disappear as a result of a random natural cataclysm or that they themselves caused their own Extinction we bow before you and thank you for watching another episode of secret Origins keep your minds open and until we meet again
