AboveTopSecret.com presents a special event sponsored forum for exclusive interaction with material and people involved in an upcoming television special on Atlantis and the case for Cyprus as the lost continent. We begin this exclusive special event with pre-existing content to inspire discussion. However, as we get closer to the broadcast date, there will be exclusive-to-ATS content as well as involvement by key members of the team. Stay tuned for updates.





What if one of humankind’s greatest mysteries could be solved by a single geographical and archeological discovery—the discovery of the actual location of the legendary Atlantis?

What if for the first time in history, the possibility of the existence of the famed island could come alive in 3D maps and models showing a stretch of sunken land one mile below the waters of the Eastern Mediterranean sea? And what if this location and related data correlated with a near-perfect match with Plato’s detailed descriptions?

"Discovery of Atlantis: The Startling Case for the Island of Cyprus" is a thoroughly original theory and provides a body of evidence depicting the location of Atlantis—as well as fascinating links to the biblical Garden of Eden, world mythology, and Western history. This book will be the first in a series of books and documentaries that we believe will cause a revolution in our understanding of the origins of human civilization. For if Plato’s account of Atlantis is to be believed, author Robert Sarmast has discovered astounding evidence of the sunken isle of Atlantis (or some might call it Eden), a lost land mass that many believe to be the prehistoric cultural source of civilization.

Here again is the keynote of this book: At a location on the ocean floor in the Levantine region of the Eastern Mediterranean, near the island of Cyprus, Sarmast has discovered a site that, simply stated, matches Plato’s famed account of Atlantis. Evidence presented in Discovery of Atlantis almost perfectly matches the nearly 50 clues in Plato's descriptions.

We invite you to examine the book description, animation files, 3D models, and media reviews on the main project website.

This theory is not without controversy ...

here
The remains of the lost city of Atlantis, which a United States researcher claims to have found off the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, are in fact submarine volcanoes, according to a German physicist.

US researcher Robert Sarmast claimed on Sunday to have found proof that the mythical lost city of Atlantis actually existed and is located under the Mediterranean seabed between Cyprus and Syria.

But German physicist Christian Huebscher said he had identified the phenomenon as 100,000 year-old volcanoes that spewed mud.

Huebscher, of the Hamburg Centre for Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, is quoted in tomorrow's edition of the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung as saying he and two Dutch colleagues had sailed in a boat to the same area at which Sarmast claimed to have located Atlantis and made their findings.

Well I have a strange argument against Cyprus being near the capital of Atlantis, I first heard the rumour of Atlantis being off Cyprus in the second week of march 2004, my friend Sarah arranged care for her kids for a week and we decided to go investigate the lead...we tried to book tickets to Cyprus but as it turns out my passport ran out on april fools day and you need 3 clear months to enter Cyprus... so I knew the universe was having a laugh with me...
we decided we would drive to the nearest airport and buy a ticket to 'somewhere' ...we got to the airport...they didnt sell tickets...so we decided we would drive to Heathrow surely they sold tickets to 'somewhere'...we got to Heathrow...the ticket offices were closed, so we went to stay at one of Sarah's cousins in london for the night, the following morning we went to another of Sarah's cousins house to use the internet to buy a ticket to somewhere...we trawled the internet for hours with no joy, every time we phoned the deal had gone...frustrated I retreated to the bathroom to think... it didn't make sense, the universe never jerks me around without a reason, I just had to figure it out... so I looked at all my blocked avenues..firstly Cyprus, if the universe had blocked it I decided it must be a sign Atlantis lay else where...
Then I decided my only option was 'magic', I prefer not to use 'magic' but I was frustrated and had had enuff, I didn't have any books with me so I decided on a simple little charm {the word Atlantis in it can be substituted with anything your heart desires and is very useful}..it went like this....
"Bring Atlantis to me, I want it cheap or I want it free"...
when I went back downstairs sarah had found a cheap deal in Tenerife, not my first choice I thought it was a tacky tourist trap, but the charm cast I would follow whatever happened, sarah went to pay for it and we found thier wasnt enuff on my card for both and sarah had left hers behind, she asked her cousins husband if she could use his and we would give him the cash...he handed over the gold card...then refused to take the money... I was impressed by the charms affectiveness to far,
when we arrived in tenerife we were allocated to the Atlantida Hotel, thats spanish for Atlantis, so I got the Atlantis hotel free.....
Our appartment was next to the 'Lost Temple bar', so we decided that was our next clue, next day we went out on a boat to have a 'word' with some whales, a pilot whale surfaced a few feet from me after I'd summoned him with a reiki bubble, he informed me there was plenty of evidence on land for the secrets he guarded below... we got back to land and hired a car...we found the lost pyramids of guimar complete with temple complex and the energy spoke Atlantis...the Guanche that built the pyramids claimed to be the last of the Alanteans, they were a race of tall blue eyed blondes (off the coast of africa?} who mummified thier dead in the same way as the Egyptians, in fact thier were more mummies on tenerife than in Egypt, there was also evidence they had a trade route with the easter islands, they worshiped an ancient mother goddess called Chaxi Raxi, who the spanish catholics turned into the black madonna after they massacred the guanche and mount teide is a big enuff volcano to have wiped Atlantis off the face of the earth... anyway so as unscientific as my story is I say forget Cyprus, Atlanti(c)s was off the coast of Africa in a place we now call Tenerife...

I was at a presentation this summer at Villanova University where several scientists introduced the captain of the research vessel that did the mapping. The captain and several with scinetific credentials brough everyone up to date with the details and photos of what they found, and described what was to be done on the next expedition to the area.

What has them excited is that the description found in the Urantia Book matches the dimensions found on the top of the submerged mountain for a temple and a flattened area around it.

They also found what appears to be a wall for the most part around the described temple area that coincides with a wall described in the book.

The Urantia Book reveals what the use of this land area was before it submerged 34,000 years ago in an earthquake that also destroyed the Sicillian land bridge to Africa. According to the book, the remainder of the Atlanteans took a year to travel to the land area between the Tigris and Euphrates in what is Iraq today.

It seems the legend Plato repeated was from the traditions of the surrounding peoples concerning the extraordinary individuals that came to the pennisula of land which remains have become Cyprus. They were very tall and lived extremely long. These indeed were the biologic uplfiters which build enclaves in the early history of man to buld up their race and then send them out to intermarry with the surrounding tribes in the area.

They did bring with them new techniques of metal working, brick making, and the many arts of civilization. They were driven from the Cyprus penninsula by an invasion of the surrounding Nodites after having failed to produce the results of their mandate after the first 100 years in the enclave, called the first garden. The second garden was established in present day Iraq, and these were the citizens of what Plato calls Atlantis.

Their history may be read in great detail in the Urantia Book starting on pages 821 through 854. The book may be read on line at
CLICK HERE starting with Paper 73.

Believe it or not, the text confirms the description of Atlantis and the mapping finds certain man-made features that Plato and the book both give. Fact is stranger than fiction many, many times.

Dear sugeshotcha,

It appears, as unlikely as it may seem, to be the actual case. I did not make it up.

The Biblical traditons are what came out of the events of 37,000 years ago, long before there was Bible.

And so if it turns out to be exactly as has been outlined in my post above, so what? These stories that we take for myth have myth in them, but frequently they are based on actual historical events. Thye get distorted for nationalistic, tribal, ceremonial, and religious reasons, and eventually they become part of the folklore. At our present stage of development, we no longer can tell where some of the stories came from and what to believe.

As I am sure you know very well, the classical Atlantis story, is the one told by the Ancient Greek philosopher Plato in two of his dialogues, Kritias and Timaeus. It refers to a Paradise on earth, and portrayed as a sort of lost golden age. The eastern Mediterranean basin 37 millennia ago was the cross roads of the migration of different human groups and so the placement of a high civilization right in the middle of these routes is understandable.

Adam and Eve are iconic names. Biological uplifters, which is the work of these material sons, are always called Adam and Eve, while their progency have less traditonal names, although the first two male heirs born are traditonally called Adamson and Eveson. Many surnames in our culture use these names even today.

Plato describes a story, mystical and perhaps to his listeners, mythical. As I understand it, the term "Atlantis" comes from the Greek work "Atlas" which in the Latin language is translated as "Atlant". It would be misleading to characterize the location of Paradise on earth to be in the Atlantic, since all the name in Greek means is the place of the gods.

To the Greeks, the known world was the sea to the west and the lands that bordered the inland sea. It is within these confines of the known world where the legend grew up from a vaguely remembered history of men and women who were like gods who lived nearby. The garden was inhabited by the original pair of uplifters, and they had nothing to do with the later stories of good and evil which are morality lessons characterisitc of the later appearing western religions. Their bodies were infused with the ingredients of the tree of life, a fruit who's chemistry kept the circulatory system encircuited with certain universe energies. The origin of halos comes from this era since they emitted a faint glow around their heads because of their unusual energy cicrulatory system.

Science is supposed to be a myth buster and it is a sign that man has moved on from personalizing nature to understanding the mechanisms of nature. However, science also has to learn that there is more to the world than its materialism and the fantasies of pre-history to debunk, for the legends of old are, as in this case, the remaining evidence of a true biological (scientific) experiment to raise the morality and thinking capacities of pre-historical man.

It will take some time before the world is aware of its extraordinary history, some of it so unique that we are reknown in the local universe for what has happened on this otherwise insignificant sphere on the edge of the populated universe.

We need to remove our philosphical biases before we can see clearly. Learning is a slow process, but a process nonetheless. We mar our potential for success to understand by laughing at reality, something science itself says it wants to understand. Soon enough, this information about Atlantis and who the original inhabitants were, will be common knowledge. Until then, it requires patience and an obedience to the process of finding truth, regardless of how imporbable it may seem at first.
