ATLANTIS IN THE CARIBBEAN

Intensive study of the Sykes material and the Cayce readings inspired Dr. David Zink to lead an expedition to Bimini in 1974 to search for remains of Atlantean structures. The discoveries of Dr. Zink, a professor of classical literature, underwater photographer and skilled scuba diver, inspired him to return to the area ten times.

Two psychics, who assisted Dr. Zink in his research in Bimini, related that highly evolved, loving extraterrestrial beings from the Pleiades, perceiving the spiritually advanced residents of Murias, joined the thriving commercial and religious community and assisted with the construction of temples and buildings. The psychics relayed that the highly evolved priestesses who presided over the unique temple, developed an extensive variety of invaluable medicinal potions derived from flowers, herbs and other vegetation for use as healing remedies for those who came for help and advice.

Edgar Cayce describes healing sulfur water near Bimini, and he suggests the development of a center for regeneration there, which would take advantage of the beneficial qualities of the waters in surrounding waters. (Reading 587-4.) In the salt water mangrove swamps on North Bimini a hole of fresh water, which resembles a large well that may be spring-fed, has acquired the name "healing hole". Recent A.R.E. investigators report that when they swam in the water it had the happy effect of raising the spirits of each of them, making them feel cheerful and lighthearted. Psychic and dowser Verne Cameron believes an ancient temple once stood not far from the "healing hole". Perhaps the water in the Bimini area produces a rejuvenating effect on one's adrenal and pituitary glands, stimulating beneficial hormones? This would account for the story of the Fountain of Youth.

As the population in the Caribbean area increased after 28,000 B.C., spiritually oriented residents erected sturdy pyramids. Rising waters eventually covered them, but some are visible today on sonar scans and in aerial surveys. Airplane pilots tell of seeing these tall, pointed buildings from the air when the surface of the sea is very calm, and scuba divers often mention them as well.
