You tell him, Bianca, to quote James Bramwell, "if it it isn't in the Atlantic Ocean, it isn't Atlantis!'
Dear........ CAROLYN,
YES , I admit that I am an ' armchair Atlantologist'and because of premature Alzheimer's disease I forget most of what I have(-n't) read.
It is like Famous or Capable Managers,
after some " Bussines-Master-School, "
they don't have to be professional scholars anymore to get compagnies goiing smoothly.
Fault with the MAINstream atlantologist is that they overlooked important things
that SEEMINGLY have no report with Atlantology: like the wanderings of ancient Placenames.
How I found the original Atlantis is childish easy:
\Anyone not suffering from Alzheimer's disease could execute this " Dead- Reconing "
I
First wondered whether ATLANTIS is the original name for the REGION:
Indeed PLATO says that the original name was EGYPTIAN and for sake of conveniance
the Priest( Called Sonchis of Sais, by Diodorus Siculus.)translated the MEANING( ??)into( Attic-) GREEK !
but failed for convenience to deliver or keep the origional Egyptian name !
Apparently for the SATIRICAL-contence of the SAGA it doesn't matter( Does it ?)
Secondly I wondered whether Atlantis was actually "Attic -Greek" ? BECAUSE:after Plato's death in 347 bc
The Manuscript was stored by a nephew for 50 years in a dry cellar in Milete.
meaning that when surfaced the Attic -form of Greek was FORBIDDEN and replaced by KOINE- Greek.
Thirdly: Didn't PLATO mention that in the
-KNOWN- World Atlantis was the Mighties and richest City ?
Thus when the geographical knowledge of the Greeks expanded westwards because of PERSIAN-Taxations
the Virtual land of Atlantis wasalso set on the most Western fringes or the western EDGES of the THEN"
known- WORLD.
Do you get my Drift ?
Greek knowledge here tells herself that the PRESENT Location of Atlantis( in Morocco or SPAIN
let ALONE AMERICA !!)
is NOT the " original" position !
Furthermore we are told that
ca. 250 bc ERATOSTHENES " Transferred " the
PILLARS(= meaning not only the Column but including the Gadeira-STRAIT.aswell)
He did this for Political Propaganda/ expediency but the Atlantologists ignored this incident.
They also took for Granted that HERODOTUS was just a BAD Cartographer drawing the River NILE paralell to the 'Media- Terran-Nean- SEA"!
I have not met an AO Forum member who took serious notice of the outstanding ETHIOPIAN Placenames in Northern Africa
QOAIS is loath to admit
that the original Pillars would have been the Bab -el- Mandab STRAIT, because she favours the BAY of SYRTE of Mr WELLS' theory
Mr WELLS thinks that the GEOLOGICALLY uplifted FEZZAN region of N-Algeria in N-Africa was the original ISLE of Atlantis-Metropolis
MELOS & ATHOS and the
STRAIT of MESSINA(= Sicilly/ Syracuse.) were once also considered to be the "
PILLARS "
CONCLUSION:BEFORE
250 bc the " PILLARS" were elsewhere in my opinion in the STRAIT,
connecting the GULF of ADEN with the RED - SEA ! here called the " INDIAN- BOSPHOROS
The "PILLARS "connected as a narrow Harbourlike STRAIT the
TRUE(= Red-)Sea with the
REAL(= Oceanic.)Sea
The Name Atlantic Ocean is an Amalgam of TWO SEA names: WORLD- SEA and ATLANTIC Ocean.
Indeed the
WORLD Sea was surrounding the -
KNOWN-World, BUT
the OCEAN called' Atlantic' was itself " Enclosed" by a ' boundless-Continent'
CARTOGRAPHERS could not distinguise the WORLD- Sea from the Atlantic-Sea/ Ocean, THEREFORE,
they Later confused the Ocean of Atlantis,with the WORLD- Sea. Thus the original Atlantic Ocean was the RED- SEA.
Atlantic 'Ocean'or Sea, in GREEK Ancient Cartography was the
Strait or connecting sea,
the " SEA of ATLAS " = originally: Atlantikoum- PELAGOUS.( a
'Braz de Mar' Courtesy of ' GEORGEOS')
Observations about Historical
Morocco:More proof of Herodotus Aithiopia MAP "dropped "on Northern Africa is the Name
MOROCCO & MAURETANIAnot from " MARUKESH " but handicapped Latin from :"
MARE- OCCIdentalis " and" LAND of the WEST"(= West RETENUE.)
" EAST " Retenue is ARABY and since " Atlantis" was moved further Westwards in later Times ARABY (might) be the original location,
The
KNOWN world Sea surrounded the
KNOWN- World of ARABY
My theory is thus that ARABY was' Atlantis ' and Atlantis Capital Poseidonis was ADEN.
RAS - AIDAN is a derivate of: POS- AIDON Plato also refered to Atlantis City as Built within a hollow volcano.
NON of the Artists IMPRESSIONS have shown this: that Atlantis was surrounded by a Low Mountain that
plunged oblique into the Sea, on both sides of the CITY thus "
Horse-Shoe-Mountains" !!
Only ONE English translator mentioned this( but I ignore which one it was.)Maybe you or
ATALANTE could tell us/me ?
These were the SAME " Mountains that protected Atlantis from the ( Cold freezing nightly desert-)NORTH winds
in other words: Atlantis allready suffered an Earlier CARACLYSM that had already SUBSIDED the " ISLAND "
and the inside was refurbished by a King Called: PELGASKUS, whilst the other Atlantoii were away" conquerring Europe "!
BECAUSE
LYBIA & ASIA were thus elsewhere before 250 bc,
in Plato's time Lybia was:" Aithiopia-sub sive Lybia " and ASIA was:Asia-
Majorwhich was the original name for Araby which later changed to: ADEN(= Hedjaz& Yemen. )
in the
Koran Surat 89 the City of Atlantis is ADEN.( Meaning: White or Golden City.)
To Summarize, by false map projections the AITHIOPIA Map of HERODOTUS with Atlantis Location,
was placed or Transferred to northern-Africa making MORO)CCO and SPAIN Plato's Atlantis
( later " Extended" to: America !)
Dear CAROLYN,
I din't mention the usual ( thus false-)observations, I just found this information
by" reading inbetween the Lines." A pity for the less observant Atlantologists
who laboured on a false assumption and are still happily barking-up the wrong tree.
I humbly appologize for Placing this "
Observation on MOROCCO " in the Wrong TOPIC
The
AO-Forum members will have to get used to Atlantis in ARABY in 2009 and at Santorini !
Sincerely "
