NJE777 I've been reading your posts and I find the Atlantis connection very intriguing. Have you read "The Atlantis Blueprint" by Colin Wilson and
Rand Flem-Ath? They present some interesting arguments regarding this topic involving pole shifts, etc. Atlantis was sunk due to the movement of the
Earth's crust, but how that happened is still under question.

Hello Nat
Your notations, recently returned to you, are ENLIGHTENING to say the least, in respects to your premise.
And I must say, I was quite pleased to see these, since I have an affiliated concept which was also addressed in your notes.
I believe, out of my own opinion, that Atlantis was the Habitation place of God. I believe this Habitation began prior to the last ice age, and at some point, (Biblically refered to as the 6th Day), all the races worshiped under guidance and instructions offered and provided to them from God.
I have found, that in it's basic root, the "Religions" of the world have a core element which is similiar to each other. Certainly there are distinctions and differences today, but strip away the crap, and the truest meanings and representations can overlap and be intermingled without distorting the beliefs. And this Basic Level of Worship, happens to coincide with what God and his "Chosen" people are instructed in later times
I am also convinced the Garden was also within the Bounds of Atlantis, and the the 8th day creation of Adam and the Adamic Line stem from here.
We have the situation spoken of in the Genesis Account of the "Sin" and the Eve being WHOLELY SEDUCED by the Serpent, (Beguile = Wholely Seduced), and both Adam and Eve are told to leave Eden, and they where sent East. (Gen 3;24). East would be, Europa? Or further to the Mid East?
Then Eve Knew "Adam", and she had two sons, Cain the spawn of the Beguilement, and Abel, Adam's Son. and the tale goes on.
Cain was sent further east to Nod, and found his wife, and lived and such.
Adam and Eve had a thrid Son, Seth, and the Genesis Account continues thru the decendants of Seth.
So here we have two distinct peoples with an Language of Atlantian Origin.
The Decendants of Seth, and the Decendants of Cain.
One settled east of Eden, and the Other further east still, in the land of Nod. (Nod meaning a Wanderer or Wandering, as in Nomadic wanderings)
Where any of these places are, is a mystery, but the certainity is, it was East of the Garden and therefore, East of Atlantis, if my premise is correct.
Some hint's can be found which happen to also be addressed in your last post.
Enoch, was a strange fellow, who had a fantastic experience.
The Generations of Seth noted in Genesis Chatper 5 give this account.
5:18 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he
begat Enoch:
5:19 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years,
and begat sons and daughters:
5:20 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two
years: and he died.
5:21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
5:22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three
hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
5:23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him
So Enoch walked with God and was no more. We can look thru his link, and in Chapter VI & VII, we find an account of the Days of Noah, but with much more information.
www.sacred-texts.com...
(I Linked the Whole Text Here, but I am certain you can find the Chapters with ease Nat.)
Review of these seem to be pointing to the MASS CONFUSION WE HAVE IN RESPECTS TO EVERYTHING OF THE OLD DAYS.
If, Satan and the Fallen, are the ones named in Enoch's Accounts, then is it not clear what happened to this era or timeframe of history? It was Spun, by a Master Spinner and his likeminded collegues, to reflect the known religion to become the religions of the Fallen. Also look at what these Fallen taught Man. Astrology, based on Satanic Concepts, not God's Concept. Sciences based on Satanic Concepts, not God's Concept, Potions, and Spells, and on.
Now you made a suggestion as to why the "Hidden" People where hiding. I am certain, that this could account for this. They hid from the wrath of God. And if this is the case, read as many chapters that refer to Noah in the Book of Enoch. It goes on thru to at least chapter XVII. That Wrath saw the removal of the god like Fallen, and ended with the Great Flood.
The Timeframe would also happen to blend well with the Dr., who suggested the Celts inhabited the Iberian Pennisula as far back as 6000 years ago, and reference can be made to date them as a people to 10000 Years ago.
.
Could the Adamic Line chased from Eden, that lived East of the Garden be the connection you are seeking???? I Wonder.
But from your last post, this could fit the bill for those dates.
And I wish to make sure you are clear of one thing. The previous post I offered originated as an attempt to bring the Celts and Ogham together, knowing that Ogham has an history of being from around 700 BC as it is "Understood" today. It was that Tribe and Language connection that I was responding to, but these are definately two different discussions, and two different periods now.
Some 8000 Years difference in Time. They are still a related family, since they all come from Adam, but MANY generations seperate these Migrations.
In closing Nat, I have noticed nothing from anyone in respects to Ignatius Donnelly's work, Atlantis, the Antediluvian World.
Take a look through this. It may offer something for your post. It may not, but his efforts where encompassing many themes to bring his work together.

THE IBERIAN COLONIES OF ATLANTIS
"AT the farthest point in the past to which human knowledge extends a race called Iberian inhabited the entire peninsula of Spain, from the Mediterranean to the Pyrenees. They also extended over the southern part of Gaul as far as the Rhone.
"It is thought that the Iberians from Atlantis and the north-west part of Africa," says Winchell, "settled in the Southwest of Europe at a period earlier than the settlement of the Egyptians in the north-east of Africa. The Iberians spread themselves over Spain, Gaul, and the British Islands as early as 4000 or 5000 B.C. . . . The fourth dynasty (of the Egyptians), according to Brugsch, dates from about 3500 B.C. At this time the Iberians had become sufficiently powerful to attempt the conquest of the known world." ("Preadamites," p. 443.)"

No sorry, I am pretty green with respect to Atlantis..so its another book I have to look at...
Ages ago, (when I was studying archaeology - subject, pre req for my degree) I saw a map of the globe, reconstructed as the world would have been at some stage during the height of the pleistocene period. And do you think I can find it now??? lol no...but will no doubt stumble across it. At one stage archaeologists say that those continents were joined by ice..then separated during the Holocene period. As was New Guinea separated from the Australian mainland...if only I could find that map!!
this is interesting reading:
Recon the natural & cultural landscape at multiple stages
Its in PDF, if you look at the Archaeology of Global Change..think its pg 4 -> the scale is very interesting...at no stage have we reached up to the same temperature as the last interglaciation and yet..right now..we are at the same temp, if not slightly above... hmmm anyway...better stay on topic.
have found a map...but its not the one I want...!! *stamping my feet... lol
this image reconstructs New Guinea & AU...
the article and image can be found here: Ancient Seafarers
cheers
Nat
edit: in accordance with ATS image rules. re: Intellectual Property Rights..image is no longer permitted as I am 'pretty sure' I do not have 'permission' to use this map...and I am too lazy to go to the lengths to obtain it...so please click on the link and you can view it therein....
This is NOT an admission of guilt...thankyou [edit on 23-4-2006 by NJE777]

Hi Shane, sorry for the late reply...have had flu and not up for anything other than bed! I am currently trying the home remedy my Mum has recommended. Scotch, honey & water and garlic! Taste like garbage....I'm not sure if its the scotch but I am feeling better and my nose isnt running
woo hooo!! back on topic....not Dr Fell? lol...
Holocene period is such an open book for me...as the climate supported human habitat as late as 10K...so regarding whether it is 6K or 10K...it is possible/relevant. Different if the climate could not support life...I refer to plants and megafaunal evidence.
all view human populations as an integral part of larger environmental systems; all see the balance between human population density and resource abundance as central to understanding basic structure and change in subsistence systems; and all are constructed around basic organizational components of the forager/collector continuum originally proposed by Binford (1980) to explain latitudinal variation in hunter-gatherer settlement patterns.
and
Dominant cultural patterns at any given point in time and place reflect dynamic system states rooted in complex and ongoing feedback relationships between humans and the environments within which they strive to survive and reproduce (cf., Leonard and Reed 1993:649-650). Cultural systems–including settlement and subsistence systems of primary interest here–can be expected to remain relatively stable so long as they function well enough to reliably sustain most of their members most of the time.Humans & Ecology
In closing Nat, I have noticed nothing from anyone in respects to Ignatius Donnelly's work, Atlantis, the Antediluvian World.
oh dear, its another book I need to look at!
off to read up on the sacred texts...are you a theologian?

oh the whole point in posting this map is to demonstrate that the continents would have been connected with each other...not entirely but enough to make contact possible during the holocene period. So I feel the distance of the Atlantic ocean would not have been an issue and it is quite or highly possible that the continents surrounding the Atlantic would have been closer to one another?
hmm putting down the home remedy down for the mo... lol
cheers.. hic
or maybe its the cold & flu tabs??? hm no more cold & flu tabs tonight!!

if anyone can find a map reconstructing the Atlantic ocean late holocene that would be dandy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His findings seemed to be reaffirmed by the Link in my last post, and this was why I noted, the Dr.

Commenting over some of the older material...
Always a red flag.
It's a basic Barnum Profile/Barnum Effect/Barnum statements. Everyone who's alive (including those with emotional and mental and developmental problems) can answer "yes" to at least one of those questions. :
www.geocities.com...
The Sirius/Dogon connection is actually a scholarly fraud. Here's basic info:
www.unmuseum.org...
Note that they mention briefly the real truth -- that Sirius is a triple (not double) system and an unlikely place for planets to form. I can't find the source now, but I know I've read that subsequent investigations found no such evidence of legends -- at least until after people started coming to the Dogons, paying for crafts and art, and asking the Dogons about Sirius. The Dogons, no dummies, realized that they had a "cash cow" in this belief and that there are tourists willing to spend good dollars in this very poor area to basically be shown some lies.
Who can blame them?
If I had someone showing up on my property, insisting it was an ancient site and wanting to pay lots of money for a tour of my house and to be told how it was an ancient Egyptian site, I think I'd go along with the idea.

That is a very obvious difference! That would be like celebrating Xmas at Easter, thats not an exact comparative but I feel that discrepancy needs an explanation.
so what we have from this article is that 'many parts ring true' but portions are clearly mistaken...
ref above, same article
Thats a tough call! I would like to think the Dogon were contaminated by the cash cow and yet the alien fish men seems so way out there...
I feel western corruption is highly likely... which is such a pity because, there maybe a grain of truth in it and yet that truth is manipulated by money hungry Anthros/scientists/the tribe et cetera, which ultimately discredits the whole kit ka boodle.
I would like to consider the astronomy of the Indigenous Australians and Egyptians to see if any similarites or anomolies exist with the Dogon's claims. Still trying to digest the whole alien fish men...could take a while!

Nat
This companion star has a 50 year elliptical orbit around the visible Sirius
It is also important to remember that although many parts of the Dogon legends seem to ring true, other portions are clearly mistaken. One of the Dogon's beliefs is that Sirius B occupied the place where our Sun is now. Physics clearly prohibits this. Also, if the Dogon believe that Sirius B orbits Sirius A every 50 years, why do they hold their celebrations every 60 years?

Ooookay... gonna start with some of your questions:
MMmmkay.... since you asked, I find this to be an interesting exploration of someone's ideas. However, I don't think that a druid of Julius Caesar's time would find a lot of validity in that statement. Furthermore, he scrambles things of various time periods and presents them as though they're all of the same ancient age and derived from the same ancient source. China, for instance, never had Mystery Schools (they're a rather specific tradition)
The Kabbalah is a fairly recent tradition, arising in the first century AD and becoming more prominent in Medieval Europe as the persecution and isolation of the Jews became more severe:
www.digital-brilliance.com...
Modern Druidism is a recreation of the 20th century. Almost no records exist of the real Druids.
Probably the best lay scholars on this are the Celtic Reconstructionists:
en.wikipedia.org...
I know a number of them and have read their sources and they meet with my very picky standards of scholarship. While I wouldn't say they had the final word, their sources and resources are usually excellent.
A fascinating woman, really, but her information is "channeled" and the scholarship doesn't hold up.
And that's correct. The Book of Ballymote and other Christian religious texts are written in Ogham.
altreligion.about.com...
Do I believe in Ogham inscriptions in America? No. I study rock art (as a hobby) and have seen a lot of frauds, fakes, and misinterpretations. A sequence of lines on a rock can mean anything -- a tally, a representation of people, an association with a god, a boundary marker (we are the Five Rivers clan and our mark is five lines.) So far I haven't seen any convincing evidence. I could be convinced otherwise, but to date there hasn't been anything (like a burial site that's carbon dateable with someone dressed in clearly Celtic style and a staff with ogham on it.)

But before the series of catastrophies was completed the Ancient Wisdom was brought to other parts of the world, and so in this manner arose the Mystery Schools of Egypt, Chaldea, Greece, the Druid Mysteries of Great Britain and Gaul, the Hebrew Qabbalah and the Esoteric Wisdom of the Chinese, Hindus, Teutons and Scandinavians, Persians, Alchemists, Rosicrucians and others.” …further reading Druid information

A fascinating woman, really, but her information is "channeled" and the scholarship doesn't hold up.
The Ogham alphabet is thought to be named after the Irish god Ogma. One theory of its origins is that it evolved out of a system of tallies used for accounting. Ogham is also known as or ogham craobh, beth luis fearn or beth luis nion.
About 500 Ogham inscriptions have been found in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England dating from between the 4th and 7th centuries AD. There are inscriptions in archaic forms of Gaelic and Pictish, which have not been deciphered. A handful of inscriptions featuring the Ogham script and the Latin alphabet have also been found.
While all surviving traces of Ogham are inscriptions on stone, it was probably more commonly inscribed on sticks, stakes and trees. Inscriptions generally take the form of somebody's name and the name of a place and were probably used to mark boundaries…further reading…excellent links that provide photos and symbols of the alphabet OghamAlphabet
And that's correct. The Book of Ballymote and other Christian religious texts are written in Ogham.

Read the information, found mistakes. For example, the Pleaides are a star nursery and as such is only 80-100 million years old or so (stars are still forming there.)
www.seds.org...
This means that the suns there were being born near the end of the time (late Cretaceous) when dinosaurs walked the Earth. Kelvin estimated that it would take 60 million years for a planet the size of Earth to cool once it had formed from the planetary nebula.
The errors made the information not believable to me.

Aborigines had many stories linked to all the stars, constellations, comets and the moon, as well as the blackness of the night sky where there where no stars. Even sacred sites where designed to indicate when ceremonies should be held based on the position of the night sky. The pleides are known in aboriginal dreaming also as the seven sisters or the Maya-Mayi. A good book, though written for school children is "the emu in the sky" as it has many of the aboriginal stories that were based on their astronomy. Here is another link that you may find wothwhile.
