A brief introductionSo how did i get involved with the study of Atlantis as a real location? And how do ancient pre-colombian trans-oceanic travels fit into the picture?The story itself started when I was a young man(well even younger than now that is!) and my father told me fantastic tales about this mysterious place. It was the usual stuff that we all have heard, he had books on the subjects and so on, and honestly I believed he himself just considered it a legend and not had a further interest in it.Well I was wrong. After his death I got hold of one of his old diaries from his own years of traveling around the world, he himself was quite the explorer, indeed in my own view somewhat of an Indiana Jones - he even had the whip and hat. Really!Nevertheless, I took the diaries and briefly read through them. Some stories here and there about things they had encountered on their journeys in different parts of the world. One story was about a plane they had found sunken in the ocean, another one about a strange huge animal they could not identify but decided to bring along - just to later having to throw it over board because of its rotten smell.Then I came to the interesting parts. Very interesting I must say. He and some of his men had entered the jungles of Brazil, and due to the sensitivity of this nature I will not reveal the exact location, but there they had stumbled upon marvelous ruins. Deep into the forest with gigantic trees hovering above making it all invisible from air. These ruins consisted of various temples and pyramide-like structures, some poles and obelisk featured objects, and most interestingly they were carved out of a black shiny type of stone.He himself was sure this was an ancient Atlantean settlement, and obviously quite thrilled over the find. As he did not want anyone else to get to the 4

location and plunder it or otherwise damage it or take the credits for the find, he decided to keep it a secret. He did not have much time to do any research there and had to leave but planned to go back there on a bigger expedition later. Unfortunately he died before he ever got to do that. Luckily however he left the diaries with exact locations of the site.That is what sparked my true interest in the subject, and I started digging, started researching and studying, and I found other accounts of similar nature telling about similar structures in the nearby area by other explorers and natives.So obviously I had to study the source of the Atlantis story itself: Plato. Thats where I found many clues that led me to believe the Americas IS Atlantis, which you soon will see why. Other clues from other sources strengthened this idea.From my own research on this subject I have come to believe the location of Atlantis was actually the Latin-Americas. There are so many things that points in this direction. And Atlantis was not just a city by the way, it was a whole continent, and Plato states so himself. Atlantis, the city, was the capital of Atlantis, the continent.I believe large parts of Latin-Americas got submerged under water due to some cataclysmic event in the past. The evidence for this is likely seen here:

5

Map of Gulf of Mexico Look at a map of Latin Americas for starter, if you look at Mexico notice the Gulf of Mexico, and further down the Caribbean ocean. Here it seems very likely to me that there once was dry land that now is gone, filling up the gap that is now between Mexico and rest of South America. And the evidence for this has been found by underwater monuments, artifacts and ruins in the mentioned area.And if you follow Plato's own description of where Atlantis is located, he says its a place far away in the Atlantic ocean, opposite the strait of Gibraltar. The Strait of Gibraltar is the strait that divides Spain from Morocco. If you travel through it and thus to the opposite side and continue until you reach another continent you end up in South America.And while we are at this route, there is also evidence of contact between south America and Africa in ancient times. Among things worth mentioning, there has been found traces of cocaine and tobacco in egyptian mummies, and both these are native to south America. Possibly "atlanteans" who escaped from the disaster and ended up in Africa and thus taught the Egyptians some of their knowledge about stone technology and construction among other things as well as establishing some trading route with south America. I will present more evidence on this in later chapters.6

There are many similarities between Egyptian pyramids and south American ones, specially when it comes to the masonry and stone technology. And this technology again fits the description of Atlantis and their advanced knowledge. Even to this day modern science doesn't know how they built these magnificent structures or how they processed the stones etc.Here are some Aztec earplugs made of stone, less than one mm thick sides:

And here is an Egyptian vase, made out of solid granite in one piece, and hollowed out:

7

Egyptian "tube" fashioned in a way very similar to the aztec earplugs above:

8

To me it seems both the egyptians and the latin americans had similar knowledge on how to work with stone. Could this be because the egyptians had learned it from the migrating south americans (Atlanteans)?In addition there were the unknown pre-incan people, who built Machu Picchu among other things. The incas themselves just built upon a pre-existing foundation and structures that were already there - the evidence is clear as the incas structures were not as advanced and of as excellent quality as that of their precedents. And these pre-incan monuments show they had a vast knowledge and very advanced building and construction skills. None have been able to replicate these skills in later generations - though they have tried to imitate. Here is an example of a pre-incan wall:

And here is an example of excellent pre-incan wall with sloppy incan extended work on top:

9

If you walk around in places like Machu Picchu and other south american ruins it will become clear that there were some highly advanced civilization that suddenly disappeared and left their buildings and structures unfinished, and then later incas and others came and started build on top of the ruins they found which was already ancient for them as well.Nobody knows what happened to this pre-incan people, where they went, or why they suddenly disappeared. But it seems quite likely its related to some ancient disaster happening that made the people of those days flee their homes and cities. If we again go back to Plato and his description of the continent of Atlantis, he said it was "bigger than Libya and Asia put together". So we are talking about a very large continent here, and what other continent could fit this description than South America, when we also take in consideration the other descriptions Plato gave us about this continent? He also describes a huge endless opposite continent, which to me fits quite well with North America - apparently the Atlantians only ruled some in South America (Atlantis was a Kingdom with many settlements situated around Atlantis, the Capital itself, and continents nearby according to Plato)Places in Latin America also fits the description of Atlantis in more ways, f.ex a researcher named Jim Allen has discovered that Bolivia fits rather perfectly with how Atlantis (the capital city) is described to be a rectangular island high above the sea level - the mountains. Check Jim Allen's theories on this at his website:http://www.geocities.com/webatlantis/And the local natives have ancient legends telling about a great flood that raged the planet and swept cities away around 10,000 years ago - which could suit well with the destruction of Atlantis. There are also other similar ancient stories about floods and terrible earthquakes and erupting volcanoes around in South America, check this site for more info on this: http://www.labyrinthina.com/flood.htm - This time table also fits

10

pretty well with Platos descriptions on when Atlantis went under.There is also the linguistic evidence, if you look at ancient latin american language and how they named many of their places, it fits together with the theory of Atlantis being in Latin Americas. Here are Toltec names of places around in Mexico:Atlán, Autlán, Mazatlán, Cihuatlán, Cacatlán, Tecaltitlán, Tihuatlán, Atitlán, Zapotlán, Minititlán, Ocotlán, Miahuatlán, Tecaltitlán, Tepatitlán, Tihuatlán, Texiutlán, and the like.Notice that the Nahuatl Tlán root of these place names is exactly like the Tlan in "Atlantis."And the pre-conquest Meso-Americans claimed that their primordial founding city was Tollán, which is another variety of Tlan.Hard evidence suggests that Sanskrit is the father of most world-class languages. If we use Sanskrit to explain the true meaning of "Atlantis," we'll learn that the initial A means "Not; No longer." The final Tis derives from the Sanskrit Desa, Des, or Tes, meaning "Nation." Atlantis = "No-Longer-the-'Tlan'-or-'Tollán'-Nation." When A-Tlan-Tis sank under the ocean named after it, it certainly ceased to exist. Of course there is a lot more mysteries regarding South America that could possibly relate to an ancient advanced civilization of Atlantis. In addition to all the monuments, pyramids, temples and structures all the way from Mexico and down towards Brazil in South America, we also have strange places like the Nazca lines of Peru that I assume most people are familiar with, and the Ica stones found in an area close to them, which depicts advanced surgery, astronomy and use of telescopes, people together with dinosaurs and more, that cold be the remains of such an advanced and long passed but not forgotten civilization. I do not have the time to tell more about this and other things right now, perhaps some time later.

11

So, with what I have mentioned above in consideration, doesn't it seem possible that Latin Americas actually was the so called continent of Atlantis, and some of these people who once lived there managed to escape and migrated to Egypt, bringing with them some of their knowledge and thus also being responsible for the greatness of the Egyptian civilizations wonders, and that they later on started a trading route with the Americas thanks the the survivors coming from there? At least I think so myself. And of course there are much more evidence to prove and support this, which I will present throughout this book leaving little to no doubt about the location of Atlantis as well as extensive pre-colombian world travels between continents back thousands of years ago. Forget the Viking settlement in Canada! Though there will be some interesting mentioning of vikings/nordics later on here in this book though, dating much further back in time.

12

Architectural & constructional evidenceSo where is the evidence showing any connection between ancient Latin Americas and the rest of the world - and what does that have to do with Atlantis even if true?Well, let me first answer the last: If we assume that the ancient people did have some for now unknown contact with each other, which I intent to provide evidence for here, then we may also assume that Plato and other people at his time had heard of these ventures. They most likely must have both discussed and wondered about these other continents, some having more knowledge than others, indeed some must of course even have been the ones whom took part of such voyages.Thus it is easy to understand, that such a event would be written about as well as talked about. And in my opinion that is exactly what happened. Plato described what he had heard about such voyages to other continents, and included the details he knew of, which was enough to pinpoint the location pretty accurately. Of course, as he was a philosopher and teacher, he did add some of his own "touch" to the story, some of his own personal ideas and morality - which would be quite common and still is done when someone is telling a truth, the core of the story is true, it has just been covered with personal thoughts, ideas and moral stories.So from my understanding he used a real example in his moral teachings to his students, he used a location existing for real - we know the location as Americas, he called it Atlantis. If he made that name up, or if it indeed is a name that was already used about the place which some linguistic evidence support, is hard to say and need more research. The main point is that he used an example of a real place in the world he knew about, using real events as part of his teachings that had occurred to that place.So assuming I am right, this means that Atlantis was part of Americas, as I have been mentioning in previous posts. Thus this again means that some people must have survived whatever cataclysmic event led to the destruction of Atlantis, and brought the knowledge about it back to people such as those of Plato's times.13

This not only explains how Plato would know about it, but it directly explains the similarities between architecture and religious belief among other things between continents such as Latin-Americas, where I believe Atlantis main Kingdom was situated, and Africa - specifically egypt and areas around.First of I will present some architectural evidence so unique yet so alike each other that is is hard to believe there is NOT a common origin here. Lets get started!KEYSTONE CUTS IN EGYPT:

16

So there you have the first samples - I believe it is not too hard to imagine there seem to be some similarities there, perhaps they used the same architecture? At least to me it looks like some ideas have been shared across the oceans here - thousands of years ago long time before the Vikings or Columbus ever put foot on these shores.Now back to the interesting "humps" on the stones depicted above, i have noticed that this may seem like the stones ones were soft, a form of concrete, and that these humps may be the hole used to fill in this concrete into perhaps wooden plates used to form these stones, and when looking at inscriptions on several of them and other stones in these areas it seems to have been inscribed into a soft concrete type of matter while it was still wet, and then later dried up and other inscriptions has been carved into the hard stone in addition. This is often visible with inscription that seem to have been carved like a wooden knife in butter, except we are talking about hard stone here (or wet concrete and wooden knives which makes the butter comparison hold true)Here is an example of what seem to possibly have been inscribed into once wet stone that later have dried, thus making it easy to make the curves and circles and so on. Indeed, it even looks like the artist pushed a bit too hard at the three lines making the upper part a bit fatter, just as it would when doing the same in clay or sand:

17

Notice this next one, back to Peru now, another close-up of the walls. Now isn't that peculiar masonry - up to 7-8 angles a stone, round smooth curves, gentle slopes, all neatly fitted together. Makes me think back to Egypt and the same type of stone work there. And the possibility that these stones were soft when putting in place, thus easily making them fit together and cut and shape as wanted. I mean who needs to make things simple and cut hard stone blocks into nice squares and stack them together when you can put some hours extra in for overtime payment to make amazing work like this?

18

To make this further interesting, there are scientists whom claim the stones from the egyptian pyramids are indeed concrete, actually an expert on the matter has spoken out on this.Joseph Davidovits, PhD, specialist in chemistry, geopolymers and ancient cements deserves to be mentioned on that and his discoveries. I quote: "In a microscopic study a human hair was found in a piece of a block taken from one of the pyramids."So I think Mr Davidovits deserves a tiny bit more column space here, and thus I will grant it:In the early Eighties, Joseph Davidovits came up with the radicalbut inspired idea that the pyramids blocks were cast using a mixtureof limestone, clay, lime and water. These ingredients reacted andformed a concrete that he termed geopolymers.His idea was rejected by the Egyptological community because hedid not have irrefutable scientifific evidence.Four years ago, A. Ganguly, my graduate student, Dr. G. Hug, acolleague in France, and I, obtained some stone samples from theouter and inner casings of the Great Pyramid of Khufu. It took us 3years, but we fifinally managed to prove beyond a shadow of doubtthat indeed the inner and outer casing stones were NOT natural.This evidence is technical and is summarized at the end of thispresentation.DREXEL UNIVERSITYCurrent UnderstandingEgyptologists maintain that the entirety of thepyramids are made of carved stones.J. Davidovits claims that they are made entirelyof cast stones.In this presentation I will show the pyramids areactually a hybrid, where the outer casing,backing blocks - i.e. outer skin - inner casing19

and architecture and the top half are probablycast. I say probably because I do not havebacking block or upper tier samples.DREXEL UNIVERSITYMajor results of our paperThe inner and outer casing stones of theGreat Pyramid are not natural.The microstructure is consistent with areconstituted limestone where the cementingphase is either silicon dioxide or a Ca-Mgsilicate.The starting materials are believed to bediatomaceous earth, dolomite and lime.In other words, some of the blocks must havebeen cast in place.This is the information I have from his scientific papers:Davidovits manufactured an artificial limestone containing 15% of synthetic binder, and submitted it to geologists who, on studying it, suspected nothing [6].A geologist not informed of geopolymer chemistry will assert with good faith that the stones are natural.[6] J. Davidovits, La nouvelle histoire des pyramides, éd. J-C Godefroy, Paris, 2004, pp. 57-58 et 72Basically, the principle is as follows: starting with a mineralsubstance such as eroded, disintegrated or naturally disaggregated rock – such as the limestone found everywhere in northern France – we give it a compact structure using a binder, a geological glue that will agglomerate (or re-agglomerate) the mineral particles. The result is a rock that looks perfectly natural: in our case, for example, an extremely solid limestone similar to certain types occurring naturally. A geologist would notice nothing unusual. Only a very close observation of the binder can reveal the synthetic nature of the rock, because the particlesthemselves are without question limestone – or granite or whatever you like.20

The re-agglomerated stone binder is the result of a geosynthesis (a geopolymer), which creates two natural minerals: limestone and hydrated feldspar (feldspathoids). We understand why the geologists can easily be misled.QUOTEThe analysis methods used today by geologists are not relevant. To show the artificial nature of the material, they need to work with more powerful methods (analysis by synchrotron, transmission and electronic scan microscopy SEM TEM, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Particle Induced Gamma-Ray Emission, Particle Induced X-Ray Emission, X-ray fluorescence, X-ray Diffraction). These tools are seldom used in this situation. Studies have been made, and all show that the pyramid stones are artificial. [7][7] See ref. [5] and [6] for comprehensive bibliographics notes and debates with geologists.From his publication at: http://www.geopolymer.org/fichiers_pdf/pyramid_chapt1.pdfHere are some extended list of references in regards of [7] above:QUOTEStudies have been made, and all show that the pyramid stones are artificial.

As you see, the device illustrated would making moving and lifting these easier than if they were flat solid stone alone, as concrete soft enough to squeeze together making these bumps ooze out provides more friction than flat solid stones.

22

Seems possible to me, and if they did use concrete it also explains why they did not bother remove the bumps after the stones were dry - too much hard work polishing them away once harden so they just let them. Or the cultures simply vanished before they ever got to finish that fine-polish part.There are really much to say about the ancient stone technology, as another example I will mention this, again an object from Egypt:

In the Cairo museum and in other museums around the world there are examples of stone ware that were found in and around the step pyramid at Saqqarra. Petrie also found pieces of similar stoneware at Giza. There are several special things about these bowls, vases and plates.They show the unmistakable tool marks of a lathe manufactured item. This can easily be seen in the center of the open bowls or plates where the angle

23

of the cut changes rapidly - leaving a clean, narrow and perfectly circular line made by the tip of the cutting tool. Let's look more at artifacts and physical evidence. Let's take a look at what we find in South America and Latin Americas.A Mysterious Giant Head, This stone head had very fine features: thin lips, a large sharp nose, leaving an overall Caucasian interpretation. The eyes of the head are closed. Its size is enormous, at least 30 feet, as can be calculated from the three men sitting on top and the car parked in front of the statue. Photo 1940's by the owner of the Finca, near Monte Alto. Unfortunately it was destroyed in an attempt of selling it.

24

The Monte Alto Culture is the Oldest in Mesoamérica and undoubtedly it was the Original Culture that lead other cultures such as the Olmec and Maya. The archeologist refer to them as Pre-Olmec, Why not Pre-Maya?, but they deserve to be named with their own Name. Several scholars have found ceramic and sculpture proofs that the Olmecs developed its culture in this area and them emigrated to Veracruz. Here is an interesting asian looking sculpture found in the area:

Notice his asian-looking facial figure and “buddha style” sitting position. Rather different than the above sculpture? Certainly 2 different races represented in this and the other photo , of two sculptures found in the same location dating thousands of years back.But it doesnt stop there. We got more interesting sculptures from the ancient “olmec” area.

25

Here is another “olmec”, this one showing clear negroid african facial features:

And here is another one, also showing very clear african facial features:

26

Although Monte Alto is noted for its corpus of boulder sculptures (heads and potbellies or Fat Boys), more than a dozen tabular shaped stone Stelas were found as well as three stone Altars. 15 plain Stelas were recorded at Monte Alto and one alignment of three large plain Stelas erected in a north south line could have served astronomical purposes as a means for recording days and the position of the sun for agricultural purposes, in fact, The azimuth from the principal pyramid to the south Stela marked the winter solstice on December 21. The sun rose over the central Stela on February 19, February 19 at midnight marks the eastern elongation of Eta Draconis during the Late Preclassic period. According to Marion Popenoe de Hatch, Eta Draconis shows unusual stability and that from 1800 B.C. to A.D. 500 the annual date of its meridian midnight transit varied less than one day (Popenoe de Hatch, 1975). She has shown that alignments of certain monuments at Tak'alik Abaj, also mark the eastern elongation of Eta Draconis at various periods during Tak'alik Abajexistence.Many of the Monte Alto sculptures are magnetic as well. Inasmuch as certain distinctive patterns of magnetism recur with some frequency, it would appear that the sculptures were executed by artisans who were aware of these properties. If this is true, the Monte Alto sculptures no doubt deserve recognition as the oldest known magnetic artifacts in the world.Two general styles of sculpture stem from the Monte Alto site -- one representing a human head, and the other, a human body. Since both the heads and the bodies are rather crudely shaped from large, rounded basaltic boulders, the subjects have a decidedly corpulent appearance. Because theyseem to be male figures, they have been termed "fat boys" in the archaeological literature.Of the collection of "fat boy" sculptures from Monte Alto on display in the town park of La Democracia, Guatemala and in front of its local museum, four of the heads and three of the bodies were found to have magnetic properties. All four of the heads have a north magnetic pole located in their right temples, while three of them have south magnetic poles below the right ear and the fourth (that in front of the museum) has a south magnetic pole in its left temple, Such a pattern of occurrence is unlikely to be a matter of chance, even in a sample size as small as four.27

There is also a substantial Early Classic occupation but it is largely localized at Structure 6, a large platform located well to the northeast. Commerce with Kaminal Juyú and Chocolá, besides Tak'alik Abaj is well documented.So in the same area, we have at least 3 different races represented, that all seem to be from other continents and not Latin Americas. Thus, if we assume there were an actual local race as well, we got 4 different races represented in one and the same place, from 4 different continents! Now that's something.Here are some more photographical evidence of sculptures:Below is an Olmec jade mask – interestingly asians also made jade masks, and look at the asian facial features yet this is from Latin America:

28

And the following one, even got a beard something not common in Latin America, notice again the asian features of this “wrestler”:

So it seems we might have a chinese / asian connection here with those olmecs as well as african and possibly european / caucasian.Olmec timeframe matches with the chinese Shang dynasty timeframe. Also it matches with the Egyptian from around end of Middle Kingdom to some beyond New Kingdom.Perhaps, or most likely, this was a well-visited trading area, where people from all over the world came to trade and sell and buy.

29

Regarding the African-Olmecs:Studies done by researchers such as Ivan Van Sertima (They Came Before Columbus), Alexander Von Wuthenau (Unexpected Faces in Ancient America), Runoko Rashidi and others have presented evidence that clearly show that the Olmecs were not Indians with "baby faces," or Indians who looked like Blacks (although a few Olmecs did mix with the Native Americans). They were Africans no different from Africans found in the Mende regions of West Africa .Studies done by Clyde Winters show that the Olmecs used the Mende script, a writing system used among the Mandinkas and other Africans in West Africa . When the writings on Olmec monuments were translated, it was found that the language spoken by the Olmecs was Mende.-The Olmecs practiced a religion and astronomical sciences identical to those practiced by Africans in the Mali region and Nigeria today. The Olmecs studied the Venus Complex in astronomy. Today, the Ono and Bambara who are famous sea and river travelers have studied that same complex for thousands of years. In fact, another group the Dogon is well known for their tracking and mapping of the Sirius star system and their accurate results.The Olmecs also had a religious practice of Thunder worship where the ax was a prominent feature. In West Africa , the ax is also a prominent feature in connection with the Shango or Thunder God worship. Both the Olmecs and the Shango worshippers in West Africa placed an emphasis on the religious significance of children in their religious practices.-The Olmecs used an African practice that is very common in Africa and to some extent in Melanesia . That practice is body scarification and specifically facial scarification as practiced in West Africa . Many of the facial scars seen on the Olmec terracotta faces, such as "dot" keloids and "lined" patterns are

30

identical to Africans such as the Dinka of Sudan and the Yoruba and others of West Africa . (Dinka scarification can be found in old copies of National Geographic. Olmec scarification can be found in the text by "Alexander Von Wuthenau, Unexpected Faces in Ancient America." Thus evidence clearly shows that there is a very high probability that Africans were in Latin America. Which further explains how the Egyptians knew about that continent, and Atlantis, as they were the ones telling Plato about it in the first place.Of course there are more evidence linking different ancient cultures and continents thousands of years back, through different artifacts and objects. We will take a further look.
