Lemuria and Atlantis
The End and Beginning of Civilization
Compiled by Mary Sutherland
The Greeks copied their legends on Atlas and Atlantis from the Hindu Atalas (Shiva) Atala, the sunken paradise. Atalas (Sanskrit meaning "Pillar") was deemed
to be the "Pillar of the World", just as was Atlas in Greece. Atala was,destroyed by a fiery cataclysm.
The Hindus have many traditions of a paradisial region where mankind and civilization first originated. One such plase was Tripura, "the Triple City". with metallic
walls and golden palaces. The inhabitants of Tripura were originally extremely pious, but with the passage of time, they became evil and perverse, and were
destroyed by Shiva. It is because of this feat that Shiva got the epithet of Tripurantaka ("Destroyer of Tripura"). Tripura was built upon a mountain so lofty, that it was
said to reside in the skies.
Another Hindu legend on a lost empire concerns Lanka,and is told in detail in the Ramayana. The saga of the destruction of Lanka by Rama and Hanumant was of
which Homer's Illiad was based. Just as the Ramayana tells the story of Lanka and the rescue of Shita (the wife of Rama) who was taken by the evil Ravana.
The Illiad recounts the destruction of Troy and the rescue of Helen who was taken by Paris.
The Mahabharata relates the fall of Krishna's mighty empire during the great war between the Lunars and the Solars (the Kurus and Pandus). Hastinapura, the
capital of the Pandu empire, was the "City of the Pillars" (Hastina-pura) - or the "City of the Nagas". The Mahabharata also tells of Dvaraka, the capital of Krishna,
located on an island in the middle of the seas. Krishna's capital, Dvaraka, sunk under the the sea and their divine hero died in the Great War.
Dravidian traditions speak of a vast sunken land known as "Rutas" that was located towards the south-east of India. The Dravidas claim to have moved to India
from that land before it sunk under the sea, during a a great catacylsm. The name Rutas is a reflection of the Sanskrit word " radix rudh" which means "red" and
Dravidian word "ruta:" which means 'to be red' , 'to burn'. These etyms evoke the "Island of Fire" and may elude to the "Land of the Reds" ( one of the many
mystical names of Atlantis) The Dravidas claimed to have been Kshatryias ("Warriors"), an Indian caste whose heraldic colour is red.
The Phoenicians — whose name also means "red" in Greek — not unlike the Dravidas, claimed to have come from an "Island of Fire" located beyond the
Erythraean Ocean (Ocean of the Reds) . The Egyptians also refer to the "Reds" (Rot or Khem, in their tongue). ,
The Celts, like so many nations, claimed to have come from a land which foundered in the seas by virtue of a terrible cataclysm. This Paradise they called by many
names such as "Isle of Glass" (Ynis Wydr), "Island of the Women", "Avalon", Emhain, Ys, etc. According to Jean Markale, The Celts called their sunken land :
Cantref Gwaelod" meaning "Country of the Bottom". In the Mabinogion, the Celtic Book of Origins, , it is written that the Celts originally came from "the island of
Defrobani, the Country of Summer and land of the Cimmerians".
The Cimmerians, who are deemed to have been the ancestors of the Celts, are the "Peoples of the Haze" of which Homer equates to the somber region of Hell.
Cimmeria is the dark Tartarus or Erebus (Erebodes = "Darkness") of Hesiod and Homer - the Abode of the Dead. In Homer, the Scheria of the Phaeacians, a sort
of Paradise, is placed just beyond the dark mists of Mount Erebus and the currents of the circular Oceanus.
The Egyptians spoke of the mysterious Hanebut (or Haunebut), a people who lived beyond the Indian Ocean, in the region of Amenti (or Punt). The name of the
Hanebut means "People of the Haze" or "People of the Pillar" . This enigmatic people were said to have lived under a dark haze which the light of the sun never
penetrated (Similar to the legends of the Cimmerians) As for Punt and Amenti, the Egyptians affirmed that the region of the Hanebut was real and could indeed be
visited, as they often did. The Hanebut were the people of Punt who, like the Gerzeans, invaded and conquered Upper Egypt during pre-Dynastic times, and were
later expelled when Egypt was unified by King Mene, "the Greek". This expulsiton of the Hanebut (Cimmerians) may come from the same time period Plato
spoke of as the "War of Atlantis", when the Egyptians and the "Greeks" united to expell the Atlantean invader.
The Polynesians describe Hawaiki as a body of land to the West, beyond the Ocean. They call l Hawaiki their homeland in Indonesia, which was destroyed by a
huge volcanic cataclysm. This cataclysm sunk away most of its land, and smothered it in cinders and smoke. The destruction of Hawaiki took place during the time
of a "Great War"...
.The American Indians — Those on the Pacific coast point towards the West as their homeland, whereas those of the Atlantic coast point to a region in the
Atlantic ocean.
The Romans — or, rather, their predecessors, the Etruscans —Ancestors came from a land oversea, that was now submerged due to a great cataclysm
shortly after or during a Great War. They sailed with a great fleet of ships and was led by Aeneas, oming from the sunken lands of Troy.
The Greeks - Plato tells of a primeval, ante-Diluvian "Athens" that sunk in the Atlantean cataclysm. This cataclysm forced the Atlanteans to migrate , probably into
India and Egypt at first and, later, into the Mediterranean region. Greek Tradition is supported by the Hindu who tell of the "Yavanas" ("Greeks", "Aryans") who once
lived on the island of Yava (Java) and were in a continuous war with the Dravidian races. The Yavanas were also called Yonas, a name that closely resembles
"Ionians" ( Greeks.) The Yonas may have also been the "Oaeneas" ( the people of Aeneas) who brought civilization to the Babylonians. Ultimately, this word
derives from the Sanskrit Yoni and the Dravida Ya-vanna, a term designating the Great Mother and, more exactly, the Cosmic Womb.
The Great Mother (Dana, Danu) is the eponymous goddess of the Danaans (= Danavas = Greeks ) and of the Tuatha Dé Danaan. The Great Virgin Mother is an
allegory of Lemurian/ Atlantis, and Earth's Vagina allegorizes the giant chasm (the Vadava-mukha or "Submarine Mare") that engulfed Lemurian/ Atlantis.
Plato speaks of Gadeiros, the twin brother of Atlas. Gadeiros ruled over one of the ten Atlantean realms and revolted against his elder brother in the famous war of
Atlantis. Gadeiros is Hercules, and both these names mean "cow-herder". The allusion is to the tenth labor of Hercules, where the Hero leads the cattle of Geryon
from the sunken island of Erytheia. Erytheia means "the Land of Sunrise". From there the Greeks originally came, led by Hercules, into their new Promised Land,
that of Greece. The "cattle" driven by Hercules is the Greek people. This Greek twins are equivalent to the Hindu twins, Nakula and Sahadeva. These twin gods
were also the true archetypes of "twins" such as Hercules and Atlas, Castor and Pollux, the Ashvins, and many others, everywhere.
The Indians of the Brazilian Amazon jungle — Tucanos, Desanas, Barasanas, etc. — claimed to have come from a sunken Paradise, destroyed and
submerged by the Flood. This Paradise they called by many names such as Yvymaraney ("Evil-less Land" or "Pure Land"), or Emekho Patolé ("Navel of the
Universe"). They claim their ancestors came by ships not unlike the Ark of Noah and to have crossed an "Ocean of Milk" (Diá Alpikun Dihtalu) which is closely
reminescent of the Hindus. The Hindus called their primordial Paradise by names such as Shveta-dvipa ("Pure Land"). In their legends, the Hindus also hold that
the Ocean of Milk was the site of Paradise destroyed and sunken in the War of the Gods (Devas vs Asuras)
All over the world — from the Amazonian jungle to the plains of Babylon and to the sandy deserts of Egypt and the Near East — we find allusions to sunken
golden realms that are often likened to Hell or Hades. All such traditions ultimately derive from Atlantis-Eden, the continent submerged by the Flood and lost since
the dawning of our Time.
According to Cel. Braghine, who wrote a book on Atlantis (The Shadow of Atlantis, Northants (USA), 1980), certain Venezuelan Indians called Paria lived in a
region called Atlan. The Parias were white-skinned and possessed a memory of a great cataclysm that destroyed their original homeland. This was a huge island t
beyond the ocean inhabited by a very advanced and saintly race. . The Toltecs, the predecessors of the Mayas, also spoke of a similar sunken land which they
called Aztlan. The Nahautls, the Mayas and the Aztecs spoke of White Civilizing Heroes that came from this sunken region who they called Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan,
Gucumatz, Bochica, etc. These names mean, in their tongues, "Feathered Dragon or Feathered Serpent"
The myth of the Celestial Jerusalem, told in the Book of Revelation, stems directly from the Hindu traditions of Lanka, the "Queen of the Waves". Lanka, whose
history is told in the Ramayana, was the actual archetype of Plato's Atlantis, as well as Homer's Troy. Lanka was built upon a lofty mountain (Mt. Trikuta = Mt. Atlas
or Meru), and was said "to fly in the air, scratching the belly of heaven". Hindu myths also tell how Lanka, with "its towers and walls of stone clad with metal" was
pulled out of the summit of the Holy Mountain (Meru) by the North Wind (Vayu) and thrown into the seas, where it drowned with all its vast population. Interestingly
enough, the same myth, with Atlas (i. e., Atlantis) substituting for Lanka, is also encountered in Greece. Atlas, often identified with Hesperus, the Evening Star, was
thrown into the ocean by Boreas, the North Wind who is the Greek counterpart of Vayu. There Atlas drowned, and was to be found no more, just as happened with
Lanka and, indeed, with Atlantis.
Other Hindu legends tell of Agartha (or Shambhalla), the subterranean realm of the King of the World. According to this tradition, it is from Shambhalla that will
surge Kalkin, (The King of the World) for the final battle of the end of times. Kalkin will lead his hosts, the Sons of Light, to victory against the Sons of Darkness.
The myth of Shambhalla is the archetype from which were copied the similar ones of the Essenes and of the Christians. The Celestial Jerusalem from St. John's
Revelation, the myth of Kalkin prefigures the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Many experts have correlated the traditions of Agartha and Shambhalla with those of
Atlantis and the Celestial Jerusalem. In fact, Atlantis too will resurge in the end of times in precisely the same manner as the Celestial Jerusalem.
Celtic traditions often speak of an "Island of the Lions". This mysterious island appears in Hindu traditions as Saka-dvipa or Simhala-dvipa ("Island of the Lions", in
Sanskrit). This "Island of the Lions" also figures in many other different traditions. In Celtic traditions, the Island of the Lions is called Avalon. The name of Avalon
has been interpreted both as "Land of the Apples" and as "Island of the Lions" (Ava-lon). This paradisial island is also called Lyonesse (Lyon-ys or "Island of the
Lions") or Llyn Llion ("Lake Lion"), the lake which reputedly overwhelmed the whole world with its waters when it overflowed, causing the Flood.
According to the Hindus, the "Island of the Lions" is the Simhala-dvipa (or Serendip), the "Island of the Seres" (Seren-dip), which is the same as Taprobane
(Sumatra). The Seres are "the people of the silk" (serica = "silk", in Latin). They are described as a blond, blue-eyed, tall people by Pliny, Solinus and others.
Serendip is the same as Taprobane or Sumatra, and should not be confused with Shri Lanka (Ceylon), its Indian counterpart. The word "lion", in India, is
synonymous with "hero" (gandha or simha in Skt., singa in Dravida, etc.), so that the name of Simhala-dvipa indeed means "Island of the Heroes". And these
"Heroes" of old are none other than those of Atlantis, destroyed in the Flood, as mentioned in the Book of Genesis (ch. 6).
Several authors have identified Serendip with the Biblical Hevilat (one of the four regions of Eden). Hevilat (or Havila) was famous for its gold and for being
encircled by the river Phison. The Jewish historian, Josephus, identifies the Phison with the Ganges river, in a way that leaves no doubt about its Indian location.
The bdellium and the gemstones produced in Hevilat are telltale of its true location in the Indies. The geography of the region of Paradise is also identical to that of
the Indian region under discussion, and which is that of South India and neighboring Burma. Hence, it seems safe to conclude that Eden was indeed located in the
Indies.
The Bible relates an Avalon tradition of the Kadesh (Kodesh), the Holy (Kadesh Barnea). In Kadesh Barnea there was a lake or fountain that overflowed and
flooded the whole region, destroying Paradise. Kadesh is none other than the Cades or Gades that, according to Phoenician traditions, is the alias of Atlantis.
Kadesh (or Gades or Gadeiros) is an epithet that commemorates the role of Hercules as the "cow-herder" that led the Greek people away from Atlantis.

The Ottawas, Ojibwas, and
Potawatami formed an alliance to exterminate them. The native Indians claimed not to know much about who these people were but some have recalled old
legends that their ancestors had conquered and ousted an ancient civilization which had dug for copper and built mounds----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
James Churchward - wrote in his books on Mu that the Motherland stretched from the Hawaiian Islands to Fiji and from Easter Island to the Marianas. It was a
tropical paradise much like Eden and was approximately 5,000 miles long and 3,000 miles wide . Churchward considered the Nan Modal site on Pohnpei Island
one of the seven sacred cities of Mu. Today its ruins sit on a swampy lagoon filled with mangrove trees. We also see stone monument of mysterious orgin in
dotting the entire pacific of which Easter Island is one. The Hawaaian and Pacific Islands are the remaining mountain peaks of this lost continent. When Mu was
destroyed nearly 64 million people lost their lives . the final demise of Lemuria occurred perhaps only 10,700 years before the final destruction of Atlantis and the
final destruction of Atlantis may have taken place over 10,000 years ago.
The legends of Easter Island speak of Hiva, which sank beneath the waves as people fled, while Samoans called a similar place Bolutu. It was stocked with trees
and plants bearing fruits and flowers, which were immediately replaced when picked. On Bolutu men could walk through trees, houses, and other physical objects
without any resistance. The Maoris of New Zealand still talk about arriving long ago from a sinking island called Hawaiki, a vast and mountainous place on the
other side of the water.
Precise detailed maps of the lost continent of Mu and Atlantis were found on stone tablets from Pre-Inca Ica, Peru, by Dr. Javier Cabrera, engraved in stone and
photographed by Robert Charroux. United Nations diplomat Farida Iskoviet, assistant to United Nations President Adam Malik, came to Maui in 1972 and
researched Lemurian ruins and history and concluded that they were real. One of Hawaii's leading authorities on Lemurian research was Sgt. Williard Wannall
from Army Intelligence in Oahu. He reported that ruins of a submerged Lemurian city was between Maui and Oahu. It was a Top Secret project in Naval Intelligence
in 1972. In the 1930's soundings of the Pacific by Capt. Claude Banks Mayo of the U.S. Navy ,show "a submerged continent, with mountains, river courses and
plateaus at an average depth of one mile stretching from the Hawaiian to the Barin Islands, east of the coast of Japan."
H P Blatvatsky - In her book ,The Secret Doctrine , Madame Blatvatsky claimed to have learned of Lemuria in The Book of Dzyan - which she said was composed
in Atlantis and shown to her by the Mahatmas. Blasvatsky located Lemuria in the Indian Ocean about 150 million years ago between Madagascar and Malaysia.
She may have obtained her ideas of a sunken land in the Indian Ocean from Sanskrit legends of the former continent of Rutas that sank beneath the sea. The Rig
Veda in particular speaks of "the three continents that were"; the third was home to a race called the Danavas. A land called Rutas was an immense continent far to
the east of India and home to a race of sun-worshippers. But Rutas was torn asunder by a volcanic upheaval and sent to the ocean depths. Fragments remained
as Indonesia and the Pacific islands, and a few survivors reached India, where they became the elite Brahman caste.
