PRESS RELEASE
The story of Atlantis is history's greatest mystery
The following Press Release was first written almost two decades ago -- and at the time,
I thought it would be used as reference material by the global media news services in announcing the possible
discovery of the lost prehistoric seaport of Atlantis.
As the years went by, it became obvious to me that the “global media news services” were not particularly
interested in speculative discovery stories about mythical places such as the lost prehistoric seaport
of Atlantis without solid evidence of its location.
And without the marketing powers of the “global media news services”, my SPIRIT OF ATLANTIS book project
has apparently lingered in the backwaters of the Internet while inspiring only the occasional email reply from
some who have found the time to realize the value of my research.
Discovering solid evidence as to the true location of the prehistoric seaport of Atlantis may appear someday
by unearthing a jungle city in Central America -- but discovering the story of what happened to the seaport
and how, why and when it was destroyed has become the focus of my research over the years.
More important than the discovery of the lost seaport of Atlantis has been the realization of who were the
Atlanteans that created the powerful Trans-continental Maritime Kingdom in prehistoric times.
While much of my anthropological and archeological views presented in this history project does make sense
to some researchers -- perhaps my new timeline concept of recorded human history is the one view that
causes a serious conflict of understanding among first time readers.
THEREFORE -- I would recomend first time readers to skip over the timeline section of the following
Press Release statement that involves complex mathematical arguments and return to read the section
only if or when you feel like spending time to understand calendrical data as to when Atlantis existed in time.
For those who want to better understand a truly radical view of recorded human history from before the
Renaissance of five centuries ago, keep reading the data that I’ve collected over the last two decades
and you will discover more than just a story of the Atlanteans from Atlantis -- you will also discover the
genensis of human civilization by tracing the evolution of the modern Latin Alphabet.
The subject of Atlantis today may for some be based on fictional entertainment -- but tomorrow,
should entertain all byway of scientific facts.
This map shows the possible location of history's greatest mystery
- the site area of Atlantis. Also shown are certain quotes by Plato regarding his description
of where Atlantis once existed in the western Atlantic.
Although the discovery of this lost seaport is a major step toward solving history's greatest mystery, it is only part of many new revelations regarding the Atlantean phenomenon.
Revealed within is how Plato acquired the legendary sea-story of Atlantis and why its remarkable capital seaport city disappeared in the western Atlantean realm. Also interpreted is a new anthropological concept in which the area natives of the New World did not originate in Eurasia - and did not migrate to the New World continent across the "Bering Sea ice bridge" during the last Ice Age event, but are the local survivors of the Atlantean maritime kingdom.
This new radical timekeeping revelation theory implies that because these newfound errors fundamentally and substantially exaggerated the annual truth of ancient history, a much smaller version of the present day conventional A.D. time-line should be adopted by modern historians. Why no historian since the Renaissance bothered to recognized and attempt to correct these large calendrical errors is also theorized.
By carefully presenting the calendrical evolution of specific timetables from both Old and New World cultural histories, use of this new time-line theory would change the event dates of all of Western History and reveal the age of Atlantis.
To better explain this new radical timekeeping revelation theory so modern historians can better understand the true dates of our ancient past and how the Atlantean Age relates to it, the following historical views of how Biblical, Greco-Roman and Medieval time-line periods were incorrectly compiled and formulated during the Renaissance should help correct and consolidate these annual time-line values that makeup Western History.
BIBLICAL TIME VALUES
There now exist a novel historical concept that, because certain Biblical scholars confused annual time count value records with lunar time count value records during early Biblical translations, the conventional time-line of Biblical history needs a major historical review by modern historians.
For example, the Biblical patriarch named Methuselah was said to have lived 969 "years" - however, since 969 months equals approximately 80 solar years, the idea that the true age of the patriarch - and perhaps several other important Biblical time count summations, have been greatly overestimated since the first versions of the Holy Bible were published in print only about 500 years ago.
The Jubilee count value was another way for historians to "measure" Biblical History - and because new historical data now suggest several types of Jubilees were once used by biblical time-keepers - such as a 1-year, a 4-year, a 7-year, a 25-year, and a 50-year Jubilee time period, some Biblical History may have been miscalculated to the wrong Jubilee value during the early printing age - which resulted in a larger annual time-line value than the truth.
OLYMPIAD TIME VALUES
The second calendrical error concept published by scholars during the early Renaissance is founded on a new historical viewpoint that the original 292 Olympiad ceremonies used to date historical events of the Greek and Roman empires were actually annual ceremonies - and not 4-year events as recorded in the conventional A.D. time-line.
This novel calendrical revelation advocates the seemingly impossible concept that the historical events of the Greek and Roman empires lasted not over a thousand years together - but only less than three centuries together. Since Greco-Roman history is also dated to a "rulers list" of important leaders, and because such a dated list is "geared" to the Olympiad time count, this new time-line theory suggest that the birth of Christ took place at the 194 th Olympiad - or only 776 seasons after the first Olympiad.
The reason why this new annual Olympiad theory exist is founded on new chronological data as to how our agrarian ancestors kept a "seasonal log" for planting and harvesting - long before any 4-year ceremonial sporting event associated with the modern Olympic games.
MEDIEVAL TIME VALUES
The third, and perhaps most difficult to believe calendrical period in question, is the 1000-year time value called the Middle Ages. Basically, the time period between the last Olympiad - wherein the Roman Empire was divided into the western and eastern halves, and the beginning of the Renaissance - some five and half
centuries ago, lies the Middle Ages.
Some books give the approximate beginning of the Middle Ages at the time Rome was "sacked" by the "barbarian invasions", but whatever the case, according to the conventional A.D. time-line of Western History, there exist about a one-thousand year time period that fell "in the middle" between ancient and modern history.
This book project suggest that the true annual time-line value of the Middle Ages is a much, much smaller time value than the conventional A.D. time-line would have us believe. New historical data suggest Old World timekeepers did not create A.D. dates throughout the Middle Ages - but that certain influential historians, with the help and power of the printing press, incorrectly created and "packaged" the dates of Western History during the early Renaissance.
Some of this research is based on coin dating data - such as no A.D. dates can be found on any coins beyond about six centuries ago, and also on the possibility that the very few literate scholars of the Middle Ages, while numerically dating history, may have misunderstood certain numerical symbol values from early European and Middle Eastern number systems.
Moreover, this research book project has located an important Renaissance document that may have been the very source of why the conventional A.D. time-line is incorrect. THE NUREMBERG CHRONICLE by a German publisher named Hartman Schedel illustrates a time-line formula of Western History from Adam to the Renaissance that weaves Biblical, Greco-Roman and Medieval history.
The idea that any one document could establish the foundation of Western History seems impossible until certain facts are understood as to how the early printing era and the power of religious doctrine can influence official timekeeping.
Although certain event dates within the conventional A.D. time-line of Western History have recently been "visually verified" by new astronomical computer programs that simulate the sky layout associated with certain events, the algorithmic formulas used by these simulation programs assumes little variation in the Earth's rotation in ancient times - which can significantly effect the chronological data when compiling sky information far in the past.
Because the Earth's rotation could be changed by rare astrophysical event forces - such as cometary or meteoric activity within our solar system, further research is needed as to whether these computer programs can truthfully project the celestial event dates of ancient history.
The conventional chronology of Western History is also about to be challenged by two new theoretical solar calendars recently discovered. Both are mathematically accurate and suggest the use of "leap" days to balance the annual count of time was once used by "time managers" in the New World long before the Roman Empire. The first theoretical calendar is what Plato alludes to as the antediluvian "Atlantean Calendar".
The basic math is simple. If 100 years were divided by 4.5 years (fourth and fifth year), the answer is 22.22+. So if 22.22+ leap days were added to 100 years of 365 days each, the answer is 36522.22+ days. Add to this one leap day every 50-years (Jubilee count) and you have 36524.22+ days every 100 years - or 365.2422 days a year! This calendrical revelation suggest the idea that our Atlantean ancestors used a solar calendar as accurate than even today's Gregorian calendar.
FORGOTTEN POST-DILUVIAN MAYAN CALENDAR
For nearly a century, conventional Middle American historians have focused on a popular 360-day count theory - wherein 5 extra days were added at the end of the year to a count of 18 "months" at 20 days per month to equal 365 days per year.
This time-count theory suggest that 260 days were added every 52-years to a "parallel" calendar count known as the "Tzolkin calendar" to account for an average of 365 days a year - however, it doesn't explain how this time count formula would help an agrarian culture like the Maya keep a seasonal marker announcement system so planting and harvesting could be on time - therefore, the true use of it by the Maya is questionable.
Conventional Mayan historians have numerically assigned time values to five glyph symbols of the "initial series" found on temple monuments throughout the Mayan realm - wherein a "cascading day count" formula places the start of Mayan calendar to over five-thousand years ago. However, this less than century old calendrical theory is now being challenged by a new time counting formula theory recently discovered.
For example, together with the step pyramid layout at Chichen Itza in the Yucatan, wherein four "seasonal" stairways at 91 "day" steps each equals a year count of 364 "days", this new time count formula theory suggest the use of a 7-day weekly count system and leap day formula was used by "time managers" in the New World long before Columbus "reintroduced" the 7-day weekly count system and leap day count formula from Europe.
By closely studying these Mayan time counting glyph symbols and assigning them different calendrical values, a new time-line of the Mayan civilization reveals a radical historical view that places their "golden age" within the Greco-Roman Era. This newly understood time count formula system of sequentially "marking time" suggest the Maya counted time from a managerial perspective - that is they only counted the five work days of a 7-day week. Much like how time is counted by managers today, the Maya counted time like it was a business.
If productivity was the driving force behind keeping time, then, according to this new time counting formula theory, the Maya only counted the total 260 working days of a 52-week year. Also, to account for a time unit between a week and a season, only count the total 20 working days of a 28-day month - or 4 working weeks per month at 13 months a year.
The primary name given to this glyph symbol is "tun". The conventional value of it represents the year count - however, new data suggest that the "tun" represents both the seasonal count and the year count. The "tun" whistle would sound at the beginning of every season and at the "year" day ceremony - or 5 times every year. Add this count 4 times - or 4 years, and the total value of 20 "tuns" would equal 1 "katun" - wherein the whistle would sound again for the extra leap day. Mayan farmers would know when 4 years had elapsed when their local temple sounded for the "year" day, followed by the second day sound of the leap day - and then followed again on the third day sound of the new season.
Since the Maya counted in the 20-base system, 20 "katuns" would total 80 years - or the largest glyph symbol count called the "baktun". According to all the recorded calendrical count data currently found throughout the temples of Central America, the "baktun" count spans only between the value of 7 and 10 - or about 3 "baktuns".
So, after adding this data together, the Maya recorded annual time for only about 3 "baktuns" - or about 240 years. How this new calendrical and cultural view fits into the true account of Western History is found later in this historical research book project.
The existence of Atlantis has always been difficult to prove because of the lack of hard evidence, but with the proper numerical and chronological evidence just stated, this lost civilization - and its cultural identity in time, should become evident to those who are looking for it.
ATLANTIS AND THE LOST TREASURES OF OUR ANCESTORS
When Plato documented the details of a large Atlantean culture from the western realm and how it was engulfed by a great flood long ago - he was not writing fiction.
However, after extensive review of Plato's writings - and other mythical stories of Greek, Roman, Norse and Arabian cultures, the subject of Atlantis is more aligned with a true account of ancient history than some writers of conventional history would have us believe.
THE HOLY GRAIL AND THE MAGIC LAMP
Although Plato mentions little about a device capable of creating a bright beam of energy, he does describe in great detail how the city of Atlantis was created when it was carved out of a rock hill by what seemed to be some sort of cutting torch.
Evidence of cutting torch technology can be found in Central America by comparing certain cup-like parabolic iron lenses - once used by Olmec natives, with the knowledge that, if filled with specific electromagnetic and crystalloid substances, the "lamp" could release a caustic zone of spinning energy capable of scoring through stone. Perhaps popular mythical legends - such as the Holy Grail and the Magic Lamp of Arabian fame, are actually elaborate stories of a parabolic lens device that once gave enormous power to its operator.
ANCIENT RADIO TOWERS
Imagine what kind of spin-off technologies would have been developed if, for example, our ancestors once created some sort of "particle beam device" capable of alchemically beaming hydrodynamic energy from a parabolic lens!
Imagine if this whirling column of hydrodynamic energy produced a static field capable of transmitting wireless amplitude modulation information from a nearby crystal microphone - what a treasure it would be to find one and display it in some museum!
Perhaps the original "Ark of the Covenant" was in reality a transportable crystal-radio station device that beamed a fiery pillar of whirling energy into the sky and performed as an "electrostatic antenna" like the fiery tabernacle device that Moses used when he communicated with "the Lord".
Perhaps letting the genie out of his lamp can be dangerous!
ANCIENT FLYING MACHINES
While Plato does not specifically mention that the Atlantean civilization used any form of air transportation vehicles, he does describes in great detail how an elaborate "chariot" once stood in the main temple - near the city center and next to the "altar of Atlantis", and that it was drawn by several "winged" horses.
Could the mythical chariots of Helios, Apollo and Auriga be of the same design that once flew across our ancient skies? According to the Old Testament, the biblical prophet Ezekiel saw one of these remarkable "flying chariots" and was even given a ride by God himself!
We are not talking interplanetary spaceships here - just some sort of forgotten steam powered flying platform which looked somewhat like the famous drawing found on the sarcophagus lid in a Mayan temple at Palenque.
If our ancient ancestors used elaborate flying machines to mesmerize the masses - and no conventional history book ever mentions that possibility, its no wonder that many mythical stories are misunderstood and thought as fictional reading material.
The book project also describes how the Atlantean culture once employed another flying device to herald the presence of a royal representative.
Perhaps the mythical hero story of how the Greek messenger of the gods named Hermes piloted his "wondrous ram" near the sea cliffs and rescued two children from certain death was based on a true event! Maybe the earliest treasure story in Western History was a misunderstood legend about an elaborate ram-like kite design - perhaps the "Golden Fleece" design can be built again!
ATLANTIS AND THE FUTURE
Also explained within this book project are the ideas that a rogue comet caused the destruction of the Atlantean capital seaport in Biblical times and that the ancient democratic Atlantean Maritime Kingdom of King Atlas has been unknowingly "reborn" as the modern democratic N.A.T.O. and U.N. alliance systems of government.
Readers of this book will have access to important information that can usher in a new age of scientific rediscovery that should make any historian wonder about how a forgotten common culture once governed most of the globe in ancient times. This new age of scientific rediscovery should also introduce a new understanding of ancient history and the many amazing technologies that were lost during the destruction of Atlantis.
From the agrarian knowledge behind the farming of the "Golden Apples" in the western Hesperian heavens of the Caribbean - to a revived aeronautical design program that should invent new and simpler aircraft capable of reforming human travel as we now know it, SPIRIT OF ATLANTIS is a fascinating feast for the imaginative mind.
