Ancient Texts and Writing on Atlantis
In Meso-and South-America, Aztecs and Mayans are said to have referenced Atlantis in "Chilam Balam", "Dresden Codex", "Popul Vuh", "Codex Cortesianus", and "Troano Manuscript". Then, at that point, the sky would fall, it would tumble downward on the earth, when the four divine beings, the four Bacabs, were set up, who achieved the obliteration of the world." According to the previous, the fourth of these universes, or "Suns," was annihilated by an extraordinary surge of water (Seler 1923, p. 40).
The Mayan "Popol Vuh" ("The Collection of Written Leaves") says: "Over a universe enveloped by the unhappiness of a thick and antiquated night passed the god Hurakan, the strong breeze. He called out "earth," and the strong land showed up. The main divine beings consulted; they were Hurakan, Gucumatz, the snake covered with green quills, and Xpiyacoc and Xmucane, the mother and father divine beings. To supply the lack the heavenly creatures set out to make mannikins cut out of wood. Be that as it may, these before long caused the dismay of the divine beings, who, aggravated by their absence of respect, set out to annihilate them. Then, at that point, by the desire of Hurakan, the Heart of Heaven, the waters were enlarged, and an incredible flood happened upon the mannikins of wood. There was heard an incredible commotion over their heads, as though created by fire. Then, at that point, were men seen running, pushing one another, loaded up with despair; they wished to move upon their homes, and the houses, tumbling down, tumbled to the ground; they wished to move upon the trees, and the trees shook them off; they wished to go into the grottoes (overhang), and the grottoes shut themselves before them. . . Water and fire added to the widespread ruin at the hour of the last extraordinary disturbance which went before the fourth creation."
Additionally the "Popol Vuh", discussing the primary home of the Guatemalan race, says that "highly contrasting men together" resided in this blissful land "in incredible harmony," talking "one language."In "The Myths of Mexico and Peru" (1913), Lewis Spence says: "Ere the earth was very recuperated from the fierce flood which had slipped upon it there carried on with a being orgulous and brimming proudly, called Vukub-Cakix (Seventimes-the-shade of-fire-the Kiche name for the extraordinary macaw bird). So, it is obvious that he was a sun-and-moon divine force of ancient times. He gloated terrifyingly, and his direct so bothered different divine beings that they settled upon his annihilation.
His two children, Zipacna and Cabrakan (Cockspur or Earth-heaper, and Earthquake), were seismic tremor divine forces of the sort of the Jotuns of Scandinavian fantasy or the Titans of Greek legend. These likewise were prideful and pompous, and to cause their destruction the divine beings despatched the sublime twins Hun-Apu and Xbalanque to earth, with directions to rebuke the threesome.
The Aztec book, "Codex Chimalpopoca", interpreted by Abbé Brasseur de Bourbourg, says:
"This is the sun called Nahui-atl, '4 water.' Now the water was serene for a long time, in addition to twelve, and men lived for the third and fourth times. Indeed, even the mountains sunk into the water, and the water stayed quiet for 52 springs."
In Europe, Holland, the Frysian book - likewise perhaps the most seasoned book at any point found - "Oera Linda Book". Qoute: "During the entire summer, the sun concealed itself behind the mists, as though reluctant to sparkle upon earth. In quietude, the earth started to shake as though it was biting the dust. The mountains opened up to upchuck forward fire and blazes. Some of them sunk under the earth while in different spots moutains emerged from fields. Many individuals were gobbled up by the earth, and other people who had gotten away from the fire died in the waters."
"More youthful Edda" (otherwise called "Exposition Edda" or "Snorri's Edda") is an Icelandic manual of poetics which likewise contains fanciful stories. As indicated by "Gylfaginning", from "The Prose Edda" of Snorri Sturlson, deciphered by Arthur Gilchrist Brodeur in 1916, "Lord Gylfi decided the land that men currently call Sweden".
"Ruler Gylfi was a savvy man and gifted in enchantment; he was tremendously grieved that the Æsir-individuals were tricky to the point that all things went by their will. There abided the divine beings and their fellow; and numerous news and stories of it have happened both on the planet and up high."
In the Introduction of the book, one can peruse: "The start of the book is an outline of the Biblical story of the Creation and Deluge, trailed by a legitimized record of the ascent of the old agnostic confidence, as per which the old divine beings show up, not as divinities, but rather as men."
In Greece, I will make reference to Plato, Plutarch, and Herodotus for the present, despite the fact that Diodorus, Aristotle, Marcellus, Proclus, Crantor, Homer, Hesiod, Herodotus have referenced Atlantis as it were or another. We ought to likewise specify Solon, the incredible regulation provider of Athens 600 years before the Christian time. In his book, "The Life of Solon", Plutarch (45 - 120 AD) says:
Presently Solon, having started the incredible work in stanza, the set of experiences or tale of the Atlantic Island, which he had gained from the shrewd men in Sais, and thought advantageous for the Athenians to be aware, deserted it; not, as Plato says, by reason of need or time, but since of his age, and being deterred at the significance of the assignment; for that he had relaxation enough, such sections affirm, as
Plato, ready to work on the tale of the Atlantic Island, as though it were a fair domain that needed a successor and accompanied a title to him, shaped, for sure, masterful doorways, honorable nooks, enormous courts, like never yet presented any story, tale, or beautiful fiction; yet starting it late, took his life before his work."
Plato (427 - 347 BC) starts his book:
"Critias. Plato proceeds:
You can peruse the full work of Plato's "Discoursed" here.
As one deducts, Atlantis was sunk by the desire of Gods, through flood(s) and earthquake(s). Ignatius Donnelly, in his book, "Atlantis, the Antediluvian World" (1884), makes reference to an old hallowed book of Babylon. "Cronos (Ea) appeared to him in his rest, and reported that on the fifteenth of the period of Daisios (the Assyrian month Sivan- - a little before the mid year solstice) all men ought to die by a flood. A similar story shows up in Mesopotamia.
"Some time ago Enlil, the most impressive of the Gods, was disappointed with humanity and chose to send a flood that no living being could make due. Yet, the decision appeared to brutal to Ea, an individual god, who admonished his number one human, Utnapishtin, in a fantasy. (as per "Support of Civilization", Time Life Books) The narrative of the flood exists in generally Near Eastern Cultures, concerning Hebrews, they are referenced as "Hibru" existing among different populaces before they have shaped their own state.
End: Since this multitude of old civilizations referenced Atlantis in a structure or another, or the annihilation of an Atlantis-like island and a major flood, it's difficult to envision that they've all been lying or re-recounting to a story told to them. Individuals in those times were really intrigued by their accounts and custom was everything. The overcomers of the obliteration dissipated and arrived on the nearest regions from the sunk island. II. Is Atlantis Lost Indeed?
Herodotus, in his "History", Vol.1, has a couple of sections about "Atlantis".
"184. From the Garmantians a good ways off again of ten days' excursion there is one more slope of salt and spring of water, and men stay round it called Atarantians, who alone of all men about whom we know are anonymous; for while all taken together have the name Atarantians, each different man of them has no name given to him. Typically Herodotus, while alluding to the nations or urban communities, 'outside the Pillars of Heracles' generally discusses the western shores of Africa and Europe that open to the Atlantic Ocean. Despite the fact that he was Roman, he communicated in Greek so completely that he was called 'honey-tongued'. In his work, Varia Historia (Various History), he speaks likewise about normal marvels and abnormal nearby traditions. "On the off chance that one trusts Theopompus, Midas, ruler de the Phrygians, examined one day with (Silene was sun of a sprite, and thus, however it was by his introduction to the world of a request lower than the divine beings, as them, by and by, he was everlasting, and very over the state of the men). In the wake of having talked about different things,
Silene called to Midas:
It creates extremely huge creatures and men of a size two times higher, which are not those of our environments: as their life it isn't restricted to a similar space of time as our own; they live two times longer. All kick the bucket in the conflict, not by (iron can do nothing to them), however struck by stone blows or blows of stick. What Silene added is considerably more surprising still: 'In this country, he says, the men that one recognizes by the name of Meropes, are Masters of a few enormous urban areas: on the lines of the domain which they live in is a spot called Anoste (without return), which looks like a pit, and is neither edified, nor dull; the air which structures its climate, is blended in with a dark red. Two waterways run in the environmental elements; the stream Pleasure, and the waterway Sorrow, hence they are named: their edges are covered with trees, the tallness of an enormous plane tree.
Maps
The primary guide is Benincasa map (1482), one of the guides examined by Columbus when he set forth for the Indies. At the guide's starting point appeared to have been several old guides. Right underneath, Ptolemy's guide, distributed in Strasbourg in 1513. Underneath you have Athanasius Kircher's guide (1669). Kircher was a Jesuit German cleric, who lived between 1602-1680. He distributed "Mundus Subterraneus", a book containing a guide of Atlantis as per antiquated Egyptian guides. Some case that Kircher's island resembles the Antarctica on Piri Reis' guide, and like these days Antarctica without the ice. The engravings on the landmasses say: "America, Atlantic Ocean, Atlantis, Africa, Spain". In the upper corner: "Site of Atlantis, presently underneath the ocean, as indicated by the convictions of the Egyptians and the portrayal of Plato".
Being based on Egyptian maps, in Kircher's map north becomes south. The question being asked by the Atlantis believers is if it is more likely to look for Atlantis on an island that moved thousands of kilometers south to reach Antarctica's position now and mostly ignore Plato's story, or to search for it in the Azores, where the tops of the volcanoes are still on land.
