The August and September topics are both fascinating and complicated. In talking about Atlantis, Lemuria, and the pyramids, we are covering a timeframe dating so far back that there is little present-day evidence. The information we have is often blended with channelling, past life memories, dreams, interpretations of ancient texts, and even science fiction stories that are based on fact.

​

Before ‘known’ civilisation began on Earth, ancient traditions speak of mystical lands, mythical creatures such as dragons and unicorns, mermaids and other half-man, half-beast creatures, and people with higher levels of consciousness and advanced technologies. Do you believe these were mythical, or did/do they really exist?

​

Plato wrote about Atlantis in two of his dialogues, Timaeus and Critias, and Edgar Cayce, a renowned American clairvoyant, received extensive information about Atlantis and Lemuria when doing readings.

​

Yet modern history teaches that civilisation, defined by National Geographic as “a complex human society that may have certain characteristics of cultural and technological development,” first began on Earth in Mesopotamia (Sumeria, an area now known as Iraq), which as we know from the last topic started suddenly as an advanced civilisation, and later in Egypt between 4000 and 3000 B.C. The History Cooperative places the first civilisation even earlier citing the Australian Aboriginals who appeared around 50,000 B.C. and perhaps as far back as 80,000 years ago.

​

There have been archeological finds (often in the form of temples and great steps found underwater showing prior civilisations that are now below the sea), sacred texts, and tablets that indicate ‘advanced’ city civilisations started much earlier. Scholars have long been perplexed as to how Sumeria (Sumer) and other advanced civilisations could have emerged so quickly given that, apart from one known habitation, people lived in villages at this time. In last month’s overview, ‘Do We Come from the Stars?’, we touched on this from the aspect of human evolution, suggesting that the evolutionary timeline taught in schools does not allow for sufficient time between the evolution from Homo Ergaster to Homo Sapiens. The same logic applies to civilisations, which are a society of people. As contemplated in the last topic, this raises the question of external assistance or manipulation.

​

Did God/Source or external factors seed these civilisations, gifting them with advanced knowledge and technologies? Michael Tellinger and others suggest that the Anunnaki provided the technologies to these brand-new civilisations. There is also the possibility that a few people survived the fall of Atlantis and Lemuria, and moved to distant shores to set up new civilisations using their advanced knowledge.
