Atlantis As The Land Of The Dead






The imposing structure of the Ramses III temple is closely reminiscent of that of Atlantis and its
lofty towers. Except that the square shape (Terrestrial) replaces the circular geometry (Celestial)
of its Paradisial counterparts. Besides the lofty crenelated watchtowers that were a typical characteristic of Atlantis and its many aliases (Hades, Lanka, Abzu, etc.), we also have here the
triple wall mentioned by Plato, as well as the sanctuary or inner temple at the center.

In this temple complex, which is indeed a replica of Paradise, the river Nile replaces the River
Oceanus that surrounded Atlantis in the Greek myths. The River Oceanus was a direct replica
of Hindu archetype, the Vaitarani. This impassable river or ocean was also called Açayana =
"round goer", in Sanskrit. This Hindu name is the true etym (or etymon or etymology)of the word "Ocean", whose circular nature and meaning become then obvious. The name of the
Vaitarani (Dvai-tarani) also means the same thing as Açayana in Sanskrit.

We should recall that the Atlantic Ocean was, originally, deemed to go round the whole earth.
That means the ancient world of Eurasia and Africa, such being the reason of its name of
"Ocean" or "Round Goer". This was the sense in which the name was used by the ancients,
including Herodotus, Plato and Aristotle. But modern users applied the name only to the
western portion of the Atlantic Ocean, forgetting its eastern moiety, the Indian Ocean.
Herein lies the root of all the confusion of those who unwisely insist in seeking Atlantis in what
we now call by the name of the "Atlantic Ocean". Once this essential difficulty is realized, the
solution of the riddle becomes real easy and natural, as we argue in detail elsewhere.

The temple of Ramses III was built as a mortuary complex in order to commemorate the fact
that Atlantis too was dead, just as was its great god (Osiris, Atlas, Shiva, Poseidon). Osiris
was indeed, like Atlas, the true "Pillar of the World". Such is the reason why he was comme-
morated by the Djed Pillar, indeed the Pillar of the World (Djed, Stambha, Matseba, Atlas,
Meru, etc.).

It is no coincidence that the Oriental Gate, the main entrance to the temple of Medinet Habu,
opens to the southeastern direction. In fact, it points to the direction of Punt or Amenti (Indo-
nesia) to be reached by heading in this exact direction along the Red Sea and beyond. This
point is crucial, for it indicates that Amenti lay, in contrast to what its name suggests, to the
south rather than to the west of Egypt.8

The triple girding wall of the temple of Medinet Habu was, as we said above, mentioned by
Plato as a feature of Atlantis. This coincidence suggests that Plato indeed obtained his info-
rmation concerning Atlantis from Egyptian sources, just as he claimed in the Timaeus and
the Critias. Why would the great philosopher lie in such holy, fundamental issues, so import-
ant to the humanity to whom he devouted his life to enlighten?

The Egyptian temples were verbatim copies of Hindu temples, themselves replicas of the
Atlantean Paradise. This model city — also the archetype of the Celestial Jerusalem — is
Lanka, the capital of Ravana's worldwide empire (Atlantis). This City (Pure Land) is illustrat-
ed in the so-called Kalachakra mandalas, and its triple wall (trimekhala, in Sanskrit) is its
most characteristic feature. By the way, the Celestial Jerusalem is also traditionally equipp-
ed with a triple wall, like Atlantis.
