Hi Greg, keeping this all in context: Edgar Cayce's prophecy was that in 1968, Atlantis would begin to reappear, which, of course, everyone took to mean the Bimini Road, which was uncovered in 1968.
Yet, as I remember from past conversations, you stated that the dating of the formation relates to something much later than when Atlantis was said to be taken place. Does that mean that yourself and the ARE no longer link the Bimini Road to Atlantis, but maybe some Phoenician type culture instead? That would be a big blow if that is the case.
In an episode of "Digging For the Truth" on the History Channel, John Van Auken, the director of the A.R.E.'s Ancient Mysteries dept., stated that Atlantean temples were buried underneath the Bimini Road.
As for Cayce's 68/69 prophecy, this links
directly to a reading given about Bimini below:
"And Poseidia will be among the
first portions of Atlantis to rise again. Expect it in sixty-eight and sixty-nine ('68 and '69); not so far away!" (958-3 given 6-28-40)
(Q) "Could the well in Bimini be promoted and reconstructed? [GD's note: Mrs. [587] told EC that after her Life Rdg. she had flown to Bimini and had found a fresh water well marked, or walled around the top, with stones of peculiar composition and strange symbols.] "
(A) "There has been much given through this source [996] [996-12] as to how
that particular portion of what was the Atlantean period might be developed. For it could be established as a center for two particular purposes; a regeneration for those with certain types of individual ailments (not only from the well, or water from same, but from the surrounding waters - because of the life in same), and a center for archaeological research. And as such activities are BEGUN, there will be found much more gold in the lands under the sea than there is in the world circulation today!
Also aid may be induced from the varied societies that have been formed for the study of geological and
archaeological activities, or such. For much will be found.
And, as may be known, when the changes begin,
these portions will rise among the first."
