Or did the Bermuda Islands get mistaken for Atlantis at the time and then a large hurricane hit? Any ideas, anyone.
An alloy of copper and zinc called orichalcum was used a great deal by the Romans. This consisted of eighty percent copper and twenty percent zinc, with small amounts of lead, tin, and other metals and would be called yellow brass today.
: Plato (Greek philosopher 380BC) writing in his works Timaeus and Critias described a large continent with a wonderful civilisation which he said existed at one time at "a distant point in the Atlantic Ocean" opposite the Strait of Gibraltar. He called the continent Atlantis and said it sank into the sea in the space ofa single day and night. Thus arose the legend of the lost continent of Atlantis.
The Problem: Modern geology says a continent cannot sink beneath the sea in the space of a single day and no such continent has sunk into the Atlantic Ocean.
The Solution: The continent of Atlantis is still there opposite the Pillars of Hercules (Strait of Gibraltar) only now it has been re-named South America.The part which sank was a small volcanic island which sank into a large inland sea in the centre of the continent.

...So, before the existence of this race that lives on these five continents, there existed the Atlantean race.
So they're trying to say that the Atlanteans are really Homo erectus? anthro.palomar.edu...
(for those who aren't aware, the last three links in the human lineage are homo erectus --> homo heidelbergensis --> homo sapiens. www.mnh.si.edu... )
Descendants of Atlantis are the Mayans. The Mayans emigrated, to Tibet, Egypt and Central America.
(see above) Certain physiologically inherited traits (such as the shoveling of teeth and the shape of the eyesockets) don't match that theory. The Egyptians are a Caucasian race and are very different (forensically) from the Chinese and Black and Native Americans.
You can indeed argue that races developed from the base Homo erectus form.
It looks incredible, but even now, the Mayan language is still spoken in Tibet, and it is a sacred-ritual language in that country. Let us remember that the Naga and Mayan languages are very similar.
I suppose that if you speak NO other languages, then yes they would be "similar."
Jesus of Nazareth learned Mayan in Tibet. That sentence of Jesus:
"Eloi, Eloi, Lama,Sabachthani" ("Lord, Lord," some say "how you have glorified me"; and others say: "Lord, Lord, why have you forsaken me?"), well, that is not a Hebrew phrase. That is why, when the Jewish listened to Christ saying "Eloi, Eloi, Lama, Sabachthani", they said to themselves: "This man calls for Elias, to come to save him..." But any small Indian of Yucatan and Guatemala, can translate the sentence "Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachthani," because it is Mayan and not Hebrew.
Okay... here's the largest Mayan dictionary online: maya.hum.sdu.dk...
And here's the challenge, folks: find those words in the Mayan dictionary. (here's a shorter one: www.mostlymaya.com... )
The writer is correct that it's not Hebrew... but nobody has ever claimed it was Hebrew. It's Aramaic. www.christianitytoday.com...
That is why the Jewish did not understand it, and it means according to the Mayans and their translation, "I hide myself in the pre-dawn of your existence" (it is a mayan ritual sentence).
The correct version of the Mayan "I hide myself in the pre-dawn of your existence" should be a string of words containing THESE words:
"teen awaj (or possibly 'buk-ij') ch-wäch aq’äb kh'oli'k"
www.famsi.org/mayawriting/dictionary/ christenson/quidic_complete.pdf
The originator of that info bit could have saved him or herself quite a bit of embarrassment by actually looking at a REAL Mayan language dictionary.
The Turaneans were also survivors of Atlantis, unfortunately they were devoted to black magic. They also reached Tibet, as other descendants did, like the selected "Aryans"(Tamahu's quotations), and emigrated in the direction of ancient Persia. The Great Law finally defeated them and were destroyed...
There's a whole chain of evidence that will prove this person is simply making these facts up. I'm not going to cite them all, but they include ethnographic studies of the people and the culture throughout many cneturies, racial features, history books, cultural artifacts, and linguistic forms and histories.
There's a lot of websites where someone gets "inspired" and "channels information." The "channeled information" isn't consistant with anything in reality, but (sadly) people often take it for truth because it's "channeled."
Heck, I could "channel" information that purple unicorns are living and prancing around in the solar flames of the sun... but it wouldn't make it real or right.

I don't know a whole

You really can't go on skin color --
The racial mixture in the ancient Egyptian lands depended on where you were and WHEN you were.
The earliest cities along the Nile were primarily Caucasians (Middle Eastern types):
en.wikipedia.org...
"Race" meant very little to the Egyptians and color of skin was trivial. You can see this in the area today, where there is a whole range of skin colors and none of them defines a caste.
...there's a lot of work that needs to be done in the area, and a lot of archiving and scholarship.
But it needs to be based on fact and good translation and not on "channeled" information.
