Chapter 9 -- The First Budding of Atlantis
To most people, Atlantis was an island once located somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic
Ocean which sank overnight in some terrible cataclysmic event. Very few people realize,
however, that in its original form, Atlantis was actually a large continent which spread all the way
from Eastern Europe to the eastern seaboard of North America, and south into Africa. The
Canary Islands and the Azores, both of which are volcanic island chains, are the tips of what
were once the mighty Atlantean mountain peaks. The Bahamas and Bermuda were also once a
part of this same great continent.
The Decline of Lemuria
The interaction between the two great continents of Lemuria and Atlantis grew as both their
cultures grew and expanded. As generations passed there became a great intermingling between
them. Neither culture lost their identity totally, nor was either as separated or as isolated, or as
pure in their own particular ideology as they were once before. Their lives and culture became comingled.
The Atlanteans and Lemurians even inter-married in the latter days. Both cultures began
to live a different way of life.
Eventually the Lemurians no longer knew how to leave the consciousness of their body.
There were only ancient stories told among the people of how the animals used to die and
flowers were placed around them. They could not really remember because it was only stories
handed down as ancient myths and legends. As generation after generation after generation
passed, neither Lemuria nor Atlantis remembered the totality of who they were. Atlantis became
the epitome of technological living. Lemuria, on the other hand, was the epitome of spiritual
consciousness and naturally idyllic living. Would that they had brought the best of both worlds
together as the cultures co-mingled, however, they did not.
The continent of Lemuria grew 'sad' at the loss of what once was. A kind of heaviness fell
over the people. The spiritual beauty of their world no longer existed. The people no longer knew
the joy in their heart that they had once shared. There were no longer days of melodious sounds
flowing on the gentle breezes throughout the land. The Temples of Learning fell into disarray. The
people no longer visited the once beautiful and sacred temples. They didn't enter into their crystal
chambers for now they had Atlantean technology. The technology now provided their method of
learning but it was not the same. They lost the wondrous identity of Lemuria. The time came that
the very essence that had sustained Lemuria could not exist any longer and Lemuria virtually
ceased to exist.
The Origins of Atlantis
To trace back further the origins of the Atlantean civilization, we need to go back to the time
of the decimation of Mars and Maldek somewhere around 100,000 years ago, as described
earlier. It was many of the survivors of this conflagration escaping the embattled planets before
the one was destroyed and the other made virtually lifeless, who came to planet Earth, and were
then responsible for the founding of the Atlantean civilization.
The recent release by NASA of some 20,000 new images taken over the past year or so by
the Mars Global Surveyor are already being scrutinized by Mars researchers in hopes that some
of the images may hold additional evidence of proving the existence of ancient intelligent life on
the planet. Experts on the subject estimate that a life-supporting atmosphere probably existed on
