I recently read the book Aryanity by Orion Starfire, and found it fascinating and at least partly credible. Maybe not the hollow Earth theory, but hey, where else did those pesky "Nazis" escape to in their Vril saucers? I also studied an essay in the print journal The Barnes Review (TBR,for which I also am a contributor), on the actual location and timeline of Atlantis. which was highly credible and scholarly.
The Atlanteans themselves were a race of White giants, fully humanoid but possibly of larger brain size. The elongated skulls found in widely dispersed places from Bolivia/Peru (known as the Paracas people) to the Black Sea region and beyond may be the closest descendants of the Atlanteans. I wrote an essay about the longskulls for TBR.
I would say without sufficient knowledge that any blue-eyed blonds today (also red hair and green eyes) are also close descendants of the Atlanteans. Tribally they are called Aryans, but also historically Allens, Scythians, Frisians, Gauls, Kelts, Goths, Yamnaya, even Angles, Saxons, etc. But that's much later in the timeline.
Plato placed Atlantis to the West of the Straight of Gibraltar, where the Canary Islands are now.
Most likely today’s Canary Islands were all one much bigger island, since the sea level was so much lower during the Ice Age. Imagine the polar ice sheet extending down from the North Pole to half way through New Jersey, over the Great Lakes, as far as the Puget Sound in the West, and around the same latitude all the way around the northern hemisphere. Same up from the South Pole. Now imagine that these huge expanses of ice were at least 1 mile and in many places as much as 3 miles thick! The coast lines and islands of the world were entirely different.
A second Atlantis also existed in the North Sea, known as Atlantis of the North, Heligoland (holy sun land) or Thule.
It was between England (which was not an island but connected to the mainland as a peninsula with all the other British Isles) and Denmark. Today they call the submerged region Doggerland.
The Germans sent investigators from their Ahnenerbe (ancestral heritage) department under Heinrich Himmler diving around Heligoland and found artifacts and geometric stone structures under the sea. A strange stone outcropping used to extend above the surface of the water there, also called Heligoland, which looked like the stone was partly shaped by human intention, but I'm told the "Allies" bombed it to rubble and sank it (unconfirmed).
It would have been the peak of a mountain on Thule, something like Machu Picchu is today.
On the main Atlantis West of Gibraltar (which was certainly connected between Morocco and Spain, making the Mediterranean a much smaller inland sea? and many of its islands much larger, including possibly a complete land bridge between N Africa and Italy with Sicily and Malta high points) was the capital city of the Atlanteans. It was said in a few accounts to be constructed of 7 concentric walls, cut through by canals, like a spider's web pattern.
The walls were coated in precious metals, more rare as the rings went inward, until the second to last ring was made of orichalcum, an alloy of pure copper and gold. I'm guessing the innermost ring was pure gold, but I haven't read that yet. Some speculate that these metals coated the walls not for a display of wealth but for their energetic electric conductor properties.
The Atlanteans traveled in extraordinary ships and established their advanced civilization with amazing stone masonry, cities and temples precisely aligned with cosmic patterns, and many other wonders including lost technology such as levitation saucers, heat rays, and other stuff all over the world. Most likely Maccu Picchu, the Pyramids of Giza, Cuzco, possibly Angkar Wat, and many undeclared structures such as giant pyramids in China twice the size of Giza's--topped with a crystal cap stone--and a pyramid in Bosnia 4x as big! were built by the ancient Atlanteans. So the story of Exodus about the pyramids is propaganda and false history. The Egyptian Pyramids are most likely far older than that, at least 13,000 years old.
The world-wide Atlantean civilization may have thrived from at least 50,000 or 80,000 years ago, until 12,835-21 years ago, when the Earth was bombarded by huge fragments of a fractured comet (the head of the Taurid meteor stream) and a catastrophe of inconceivable scope and scale devastated the Earth. Unbelievable volumes of melt water (the Ice Age was ending by them) poured off the ice sheets into the ocean, raising sea levels by a hundred meters or more in a few years. This is one basis for the ubiquitous flood myths. 10% of the Earth biomass ignited into flame, and a smoke cloud blotted out the sun for many months straight, plunging the Earth back into the Ice Age for another 1000 years.
Amazing and really cute mega fauna such as giant beavers, dire wolves, mastadons and such sadly died off.
Incidentally, if you ever hear about a woolly mammoth flash frozen with grass still in its mouth, munching away, it is theorized that a comet fragment traveling at 10s of miles Per Second! struck nearby, pulling the vacuum of space down behind it (if you can imagine that), and freezing the startled pachyderm.
The Atlanteans were devastated and scattered. They tried to ride out the flood and some few made it to refuge in the new British Isles. The island of Thule (N Atlantis) was submerged, as was the bigger homeland of Atlantis off Africa. Many Atlantean structures were built on the continental shelves all over the world, and they all sank under the rising waves and are now mostly unexplored and lost (though divers and drone subs are finding them again). 50 miles of the shelf off the NW may be covered with a sprawling Atlantean city.
Well, the next era is all about how the survivors tried to re-establish their knowledge and restart civilization, perhaps finding other normie human survivors and imparting pieces of their wisdom to preserve it, but not telling anyone else all of it. Stonehenge (which was first raised in Wales and then moved south by Merlin), maybe Gobleki Tepe, Sumer (after the Scythians arrived), Tibet//Shamballah, Easter Island, Maya/Aztec/Toltec and pre-Inca and other very cool stuff but not as cool as the original Atlanteans, were built after the cataclysm by these Atlantean survivors, known as ancient Aryans.
Aryan means noble of form, noble of soul. The light beings. White Gods, other people thought of them. Even the remnants of their Atlantean knowledge and technology was astounding to other peoples, who worshiped them when they met. The Aryans were benevolent but firm rulers, conquering by seduction with their profound arts and sciences and ordering of nature into functioning civilization. They were very beautiful and statuesque too, tall and strong and the ladies had dazzling golden hair and startling clear blue eyes and pure fair skin. Some had equally amazing red hair and green eyes. The men were the ultimate chads, tall and strong and noble with blond or red beards. No one else had beards, really. They tried, but were wannabe's.
They found Scythian mummies in the Caucuses salt caves and the ladies were 6'6", the men 7'. Even they were devolved from the Atlanteans. The Scythian mummies had tattoos of ring-tailed lemurs on their calves and sleeves, no one knows why. ?
Karl this is a great article, and I will be returning to it often for references to things.
However, I should note that the archaeological groups known as the Yamnaya (and also the related Sintashta, Andronovo, Corded Ware, etc) are all just names for people groups who existed prior to any known writing, supposedly. These groups expanded and advanced into the named tribes and peoples of written history, such as the ones you named. These archaeological cultures predate the later named tribes and cultures, in many ways. When Egyptian myths say the Scythians have the oldest civilization, I think they just mean that the Scythians inherited the civilization of our shared steppe-ancestors, the Yamnaya and many others. That is just speculation though.
I also think that the elongated skull theory is strange. Not that it is false at all. However, those skulls which were not shaped at birth are all unique, and they are not formed as a normal human skull. It would appear that the skulls being shaped were mimicking an actual skullshape which once existed. I see many people calling these skulls "aliens" or "nephilim". There are similar stories about red haired giants with six fingered hands ranging from China to New Zealand to the Americas. These stories are all pointing to something real, but quite esoteric and hidden from the public.
I am reminded of the Oera Linda Book with your mentioning of Doggerland. I highly suggest that text.
As a final note, thank you for your work, and please watch this illuminating documentary about pre-Tazmandu Aryan migration to New Zealand. It will help you understand some of these connections more, and also open new doors and questions. This is a vital piece many are missing when searching for the traces of our ancestors and their movements. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=skeletons+in+the+closet+maori
Don't know how familiar, if at all, you are with Asha Logos, but he has done some great work over-the-years. You might like his extensive 'Our Subverted History' series (Pt. 1 below), as well as his 'The Interconnectedness of the Aryan Peoples'(Pt. 1 below) series that he's working on now.
AL is very meticulous, patient, and comprehensive with his content. He does some great work and has some important insights into our present historical predicament. I've watched all of his videos, some multiple times. He is one of the more important thinkers I've encountered, with his forward-thinking and life-affirming accentuation!
