Hi Josie;

Please accept my apologies for not noticing your persistence and dedicated hard work!
I briefly glanced over your threads and there is a lot of valuable info to study.
I am quite busy at the moment organizing my new dedicated forum to Atlantis aside of all the reasearch I do as well.
I was quite disappointed to see through the first five threads that no one replied to you or on this last thread.
I feel there something of significance here as I also do for the Egyptian Am-Duat pinpointing Atlantis in the Ocean or Sekers realm of Amenti.

Just want you to know that you are not alone in your perseverance and I'll respond soon as I can.

P.S. there is also an exclusive womens only forum in Cleito's Royal Baths at my new site.
The link is in my signature.

Take Care Josie and thanks for your hard work beautiful, um I mean Linde. (same meaning).

Hi Josie;

Horapollo is quite interesting. If would have been even better if he was someone from the old Egypt rather than 500.ad.
Irregardless, you sure learn some interesting and new ideas about Egypt and how they related things or symbolisms.
I read a few chapters over at sacred texts. I guess I can see why he interested you.
He should also have had knowledge about what happened to the library of Alexandria, however not much is known of him and his work went through many editors like everyone elses.

Wouldn't it have been easier to just post a link to the sacred texts article and comment on key points?
Why did you copy the entire book here?
