Such rifts and ridges in fact
exist in all oceans. They rise above sea level in certain spots forming
island arcs, as in Indonesia and at the Indus Valley. Where they do, they
cause the kind of terrible volcanoes and earthquakes that we have been
discussing above. It is no coincidence that the two Atlantises we mentioned
are located precisely at such spots where the Mid-Oceanic Ridges
rise above the surface of the sea.
When we inspect
the
map of Fig. 1, we also note that a sizable chunk of India disappeared
at the end of the Ice Age at the Indus Delta. This region is now known
as the Rann of Kutch ("Marshes of Death") and is in fact still sinking
underseas, even today. This region is deemed a sort of Hell, and has been
clearly flooded by some sort of terrible cataclysm that also took place
at the end of the Pleistocene, just as did the one of Lemurian Atlantis.
Lemurian Atlantis and the Four Rivers
of Paradise
At this occasion, that of the demise of
Atlantis, the Himalayan glaciers melted in the greater part, pouring its
waters down the Indus Valley, in floods that were hundreds of times larger
than the ones of today, even when the monsoon storms castigate the region.
Such is clearly the record left by the tempest that swept away the second
Atlantis (Hesperus), throwing it into the sea during the second of the
Biblical Floods.
The same thing also happened at the other
side of the Himalayas, whence issue the rivers that irrigate South Asia,
China and Southeast Asia, such as the Huang-ho, the Yangtzé, the
Mekong, the Irrawaddy, the Brahmaputra, the Ganges. These are indeed the
Four Rivers of Eden (Lemurian Atlantis), as we argue in detail elsewhere. There
can be very little doubt that the Lemurian Atlantis as well as its successor,
the Indian Atlantis are sacred traditions based on real facts which were
in no way exagerated by our ancestors.
The Civilizing Heroes and Heroines
Are Atlantean Escapees
The cataclysms in question caused the mass
migrations of nations which later were to form civilizations of the past
such as those of the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Cretans and the Mesopotamians.
These also included the Jews, the Phoenicians, and the Aryans, driven away
from their ancestral lands in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. At first they
settled in India, but were driven out by the locals, moving to the places
just mentioned.
Such mass migrations are told in the Bible and in similar
Holy Books of all nations, in legends such as those of Moses and the Israelites,
Aeneas and the Romans, Hercules and his Greek "cattle" (armies), of Cain s
expulsion from Eden, of Quetzalcoatl s arrival in Mexico, of that of Viracochan
and the Incas in Peru, of the Fomorians and the Tuatha de Danaan arriving
in Britain, and so on.
These legends disguise real facts under
the veil of allegories, and personify or deify the nations in question
under the figures of heroes such as Noah, Manu, Hercules, Kukulkan, Abraham,
Quetzalcoatl, and a myriad others, or in heroines like Venus, Demeter,
Dana, Danu, Vesta, Hathor, Isis, Hecate and so on. Lemuria was indeed the
Great Black Mother of Gods and Men. She is the same goddess that we know
by names such as Kali, Parvati, Demeter, Hera, Isis, Ishtar, Venus, Cybele
and even the Virgin Mary.
The paradoxical virginity of the Great
Mother refers to the fact that she bore the Lemurian civilization on her
own, in an autochthonous manner, without the help of an "inseminator" civilization.
In contrast, all other civilizations evolved by being seeded from outside
by the Civilizing Heroes, the Angels, the Gods, the Devils, etc..
These were the Lemurian Sons of God that, though , illuminated the
world with the Light of our Great Mother.
The second Atlantis, India, is our Great
Father. The Father is the inseminating god known as Shiva in India, Jahveh
in Israel, Zeus in Greece, Viracochan in Peru, Quetzalcoatl in Mexico,
Bochica in Colombia, and so on. He is the god that is castrated and dies
but who resurrects from among the dead, whole and virile as ever. The image
is not without analogy with an immortal volcano such as the Krakatoa that
explodes and vanishes from sight, but keeps shining underneath the ocean, until the
time comes for it to rise and shine again, perhaps at God's command.
