A Mystic Journey

Is part of our history not being told or accepted? 

I have studied this question for many years. Might this have any implications for our future? Graham Hancock in America Before: The Key to Earth’s Lost Civilization (2019) proves there were many settlers in the Americas before Columbus. Most of you probably already knew that. The data in this work, however, is that these peoples came from the sea, a feat that has long been ridiculed in many circles. He points out that too many scientists and archeologists have not only denied these facts but have also denigrated the experts whose research provides valid proof. What a shame that our true history is often kept hidden by authorities who feel threatened and/or refuse to entertain new information. 

What intrigues me is not just the fact that the Americas were settled by many Pre Columbian groups but that there is continuing evidence of even older civilizations that may have been lost entirely. The Serpent Mound in Ohio which aligns with celestial events of sunrise on summer and winter solstice and an underground city off the coast of Oregon dating from 18,000 years ago are just two of the numerous examples. Maya sites provide more evidence of advanced civilizations present in the Americas, with ancient civilizations also in Egypt and other places. What about these early cultures is also being hidden?

Amidst all of this evidence, I am interested in the information on the revolutionary technology in Atlantis. Hancock, mentioned above, has written many books on his journeys to discover the truth on this legendary island and presents convincing arguments about its existence and demise. Even Plato, in the fourth century BCE, discussed Atlantis and the ability of its inhabitants to transport goods by sea.  Hancock talks of a deluge, perhaps caused by a comet around 12,800 years ago, that affected North America more than other parts of the world and could have been the cause of the destruction of Atlantis.  From Hancock’s work and my research,

I believe that Atlantis did exist, that it probably existed in the Atlantic Ocean, that a catastrophic event caused its demise, and that it was a highly advanced society. 

According to my understanding, some Atlanteans were able to escape with their technological knowledge. Frank Joseph, Ed, in The Lost History of Ancient America: How Our Continent Was Shaped By Conquerors, Influencers, and Other Visitors from Across the Ocean (2017) recounts that the Maya peoples talked of a great flood. They claimed that new arrivals after the deluge built subterranean tunnels to use as a depository for written records from their inundated homeland.  We know, for example, that there are tunnels under Teotihuacan, a Maya ruin in Mexico, which is a complex of pyramids. Unfortunately, most of the records from that time were destroyed by the Spanish. We do know, though, that each of their pyramids aligned with a planet in the solar system. They also recorded complex calendars. Where did they get this advanced knowledge? What other records of their history have been destroyed?

Neil Gaur, an historian and researcher, has done in-depth explorations of ancient civilizations and confirmed the idea of the Atlanteans retreating to Egypt, Great Britain, and the Americas. Explorers are finding underground tunnels and underground cities throughout the world. Some of these have living space for thousands of people. While I focus on MesoAmerica in this discussion, there is much evidence for other such places around the world. What more surprises will be revealed as research continues?

We know that ancient civilizations existed, many with advanced knowledge.

Perhaps now is the time to add to our knowledge of the past in order to better understand and impact our future.

I always caution everyone to decide what “feels” accurate before incorporating anything unfamiliar into your beliefs. But I also advise all of us to be sure we aren’t dismissing some new theory or idea simply because it clashes with an old one. These are changing times. We must move forward rather than remain stubbornly entrenched in our current, perhaps incomplete, convictions.
