Finding Atlantis Part 6: Mesopotamian Link

Similiarities of earlier Sumerian/Babylonian/Assyrian history with Plato's Atlantis


Structure and Purpose of the Temple of Poseidon

At a very early period - prior to 3000 BC - Nippur had become the centre of a political district of considerable extent. Inscriptions found at Nippur, where extensive excavations were carried on during 1888-1900 by Messrs Peters and Haynes, under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania, show that Enlil was the head of an extensive pantheon. Among the titles accorded to him are "king of lands," "king of heaven and earth" and "father of the gods".

His chief temple at Nippur was known as E-kur, signifying 'House of the mountain', and such was the sanctity acquired by this edifice that Babylonian and Assyrian rulers, down to the latest days, vied with one another in embellishing and restoring Enlil's seat of worship, and the name Ekur became the designation of a temple in general.

Grouped around the main sanctuary, there arose temples and chapels to the gods and goddesses who formed his court, so that E-kur became the name for an entire sacred precinct in the city of Nippur. The name "mountain house" suggests a lofty structure and was perhaps the designation originally of the staged tower at Nippur, built in imitation of a mountain, with the sacred shrine of the god on the top.

Flooding (Judgement by Zeus on Bronze Age People)

(From Sumerian tablet called Eridu Genesis, dated around 2300 BC, Babylonian/Assyrian Atra-Hasis tablets dated 18th century BC)

According to the Sumerians, Enlil helped create the humans, but then got tired of their noise and tried to kill them by sending a flood.

"Enlil grew restless at their racket, he had to listen to their noise.
Enlil opened his mouth to speak and addressed the assembly of all the gods: 'The noise of mankind has become too much, I am losing sleep over their racket. Come now, let us all take an oath to bring a flood.'" (The Epic of Atra-Hasis)

Atrahasis (his name translates as `exceedingly wise') was warned of the impending deluge by the god Ea/Enki who instructed him to build an ark to save himself. Atrahasis heeded the words of the god, loaded two of every kind of animal into the ark, and so preserved human and animal life on earth.

I've been picking up a lot from documentaries.


Christopher Columbus set off on a voyage to find a mythical land called Anthilia/Antillia (which is said to be Atlantis).

Finding Atlantis Part 4 - Asteroid Discovery Date

Asteroid Atlantis was discovered on 7 September 1931.

Its discovery chart would be the same as people with the same natal charts or events happening on that day.


Bruce Reynolds (wiki)
- An English criminal who masterminded the 1963 Great Train Robbery
- "the Great Train Robbery had proved a curse that followed him around, as after it, no-one wanted to employ him either legally or illegally"

Charles Camilleri
- Famous music composer from Malta who revived Maltese traditional music and Mediterranean music
- "in which nothing is fixed and his compositions evolve from themselves with a sense of fluency and inevitability"
- ""order really exists in chaos - everything is presented to us in chaos. The artist does not impose order on chaos but rather discovers the order already present in that chaos"."

1931 Belize Hurricane (wiki)
-  "The first ship to identify the storm clearly was the tanker Geo H. Jones, which recorded strong winds in conjunction with rapidly decreasing barometric pressures late on 7 September."
- The hurricane intensity increased the next day, with it striking Honduras on 10 Sept.

1931 China Floods (wiki)
- Deadliest natural disaster in 20th century
- Abnormal weather: a long drought, heavy snowstorm, heavy rain, raising river levels, extreme cyclone activity
- While China was busy handling the flood problems in Sept, Japan invaded Manchuria on 18 Sept.

Rare Halo Sighting
- A rare halo of about 18° radius was seen from the S.S. Karapara, with a possible parhelic circle, from the Indian Ocean

Finding Atlantis Part 3 - Plato's Atlantis

“Atlantis was a legendary continent that many people believe sank into the Atlantic Ocean thousands of years ago. The first mention of Atlantis appeared during the 300's B.C. in CRITIAS and TIMAEUS, two works by the Greek philosopher Plato. According to Plato, a brilliant civilization once existed on Atlantis. But its people became corrupt and greedy, and so the gods punished them. During one day and night, great explosions shook Atlantis, and the continent sank into the sea.”

 “ATLANTIS, also spelled Atalantis, or Atlantica, a legendary island in the Atlantic Ocean, lying west of the Straits of Gibraltar. Plato describes how Egyptian priests, in conversation with the Athenian lawgiver Solon, described Atlantis as an island larger than Asia Minor and Libya combined, and situated just beyond the Pillars of Hercules (the Straits of Gibraltar).”

***

In Plato's myth, Poseidon fell in love with Cleito, who bore him five pairs of male twins. Atlas, the first son of the first set of twins, was made king over the vast territory by his father. His brothers were appointed princes and each ruled over a large section of the territory that was distributed to him. The most valuable section of the kingdom remained his mother's home on the hilltop and the land surrounding it. This was given to Atlas. Atlas himself had many sons with the succession of the throne always passing to the eldest son.

For generations Atlantis remained peaceful and prospered. Almost all of the population's needs were met from the island's mines, fields and forests. Anything that the kingdom did not produce was imported. This was possible because a channel was eventually built which transversed all the rings from the ocean to the center of the kingdom, or the acropolis. On this stood the royal palace near the original home of Poseidon and Cleito. Each succeeding king tried to out do his predecessor in building a greater kingdom. Finally the splendid city Metropolis and the outer city of Atlantis existed behind a great outer wall.

Poseidon sat down laws for Atlantis that the rulers were to fellow. The ruling body was to meet regularly. It was to consist of ten rulers that represented the first rulers -- Atlas and his nine brothers -- who reigned with absolute power of life and death over their subjects. These meeting occurred in the temple of Poseidon where the first rulers inscribed the laws on a pillar of orichalcum. First, as required by ancient ceremony, pledges were exchanged. Then a sacred bull was captured and killed. The body was burned as a sacrifice to the god. Then the blood was mixed with wine and poured over the fire as a act of purification for each man. The rulers were served wine in golden cups, each poured a libation over the fire and swore by oath to give judgment according to the inscribed laws. When ending his vow each drank his wine and dedicated his cup to the temple. This was followed by a dinner that preceded the rulers putting on magnificent blue robes in which they judged matters concerning the kingdom according to Poseidon's laws.

As long as they judged and lived by Poseidon's laws they and the kingdom prospered. When the laws began to be forgotten trouble began. More of the rulers eventually began marrying mortals and started acting like foolish humans. Soon pride overtook the rulers who soon began grasping for greater power. Then Zeus saw what had happened to the rulers. They had abandoned the laws of the gods and acted in an evil coalition as men. He assembled all the gods of Olympus around him and was to pronounce judgment on Atlantis. This is where Plato's story stops.
