List Members,
This new-found location - or old found - of the chief city of Atlantis in Mauritania makes it little more than a hop to travel over to Brazil in South America. And this makes things interesting. You know, we could say that just on the upper side of the Atlas Mountains they were called Phonecians, and below the Atlas Mountain along the suthern coast of the Mediterranean, they were called Atlanteans. Same people. Of course, we are proposing hereby an alternate origin for the Phoenecians, but I think a regional origin has been proposed before.
Atlantis was an island nation consisting of ten separate islands. This suggests that, given the 9,500 year lapse between the Atlantis disaster and Plato spilling the beans about Atlantis to the Greeks, in each region of influence, the way of forming some letters might have changed, certain racial characteristics might have become more prominent, the language might have changed into dialects, et cetera.
But a Banderantes expedition from Salvador Bahia, in Brazil, did come across a small abandoned town of black granite construction, in ruins, nestled in a valley with mining entrances in the hills above, and the town had a central sqaure with something like an assembly house still standing with lettering chiseled above the main entrance. (By the way, a Darius coin, which are the one-of-a-kind, was found there in the ruins (Google it). The lettering was copied and sent by letter to Salvador, and later on ended up in the National Library in Rio de Janeiro. (Siempre me rio de janeiro!) It appeared in the Harold T. Wilkins book, and in the David Hatcher Childress book on Lost Cities of Ancient South America.
(If you all get the books by these authors, one day you'll be grateful one day because I see major war clouds on the horizon, and I think that we'll have rationing and censuorship soon, and you won't be able to get these things anymore. A major virus can wipe out all your infomation in one fell swoop, and internet Youtube clips and site can disaper faster than a witch's "poof". Get books - and hide them!)
Anyway, the script is what they call a form of Phoenician, with just about two or three letters differing from Phoenician. Allowing for a few thousand years of evolution or whatever you wish to call it, it was Atlantean script. I mean, if the Atlanteans lived just below the Atlas mountains, and the Phoenicians above and along the Mediterranean coast, then we know they are the same people.
Artifacts with Phoenician/Atlantean lettering has been found in Brazil; I have heard about Phoenician anchors several times. And about that Banderantes expedition ... one day while they were there in that town, a canoe came up the river and the Banderantes people got close enough to get a good look. They were what we call white Caucasian. And they fled when they cam in contact, and they got away because they were in a canoe.
And remember the Amazons that had a kingdom along the Amazon River, and that the Orellana expedition came cross them? One of the captives who spent two months with the Spaniards told that beyond the territory of the Amazons there was another kingdom of their same race, but that they were heterosexuals. They must have been descendants of the Atlanteans from just across the Atlantic, along the same latitude. 11,500 years later!
I always used to think that Chapter Nine of The Hollow Earth, by Raymond Bernard (pen name), was the tutti frutti part of the book because the author connected Atlanteans with the underground worlds and megalithic constructions found in the jungles here and there in Brazil. But now my eyes have been opened. White caucasian races, red haired, blonds, receved quite a bit of mention from the initial Spanish and Portugues explorers.
Enough for now!
