In almost all places of the world, where the Atlantians have set foot in, there are magnificent remains of their civilization. The origin of these samples is regarded by mythology and ancient history as unknown. But through tradition they appear Titans in superiority (e.g. Iapetus, Atlas, Prometheus etc.), Giants in spirit and body, Cyclops for hardwork, Chief leaders with prestige and force, conquerors, heroes and even gods (Cronus, Poseidon, Hermes (son of Maia, daughter of Atlas), Proteus, Nereus, Triton, Mixchoatl - god of Maya, Tlaloc and Cihuocoatl - gods of Aztec etc.).

All these were Atlantians that carried on their shoulders the weight of the world - the way the figure of Atlas is characteristically depicted. Furthermore, Ptolemy named after “Atlas” his geographical maps.

Plato, the philosopher of ancient times, provides us in the dialogue of “Critias”, with evidence for the civilization, the way of life, the technical achievements, and the administration of the Atlantians. In this dialogue of 350 BC, he gives astonishing details “for the civilization of a nation that was named Atlantians”, which have been taken by the notes of Solon and ended to the grandfather of Critias, then to Critias the grandson and finally to Plato. I divide the descriptions of Plato in three chapters for the needs of this site.

The genealogy of Atlantians, Technical achievements, The administration

The civilization of the Atlantians from other sources:

Apart form Plato’s description (Solon notes), we have information for the Atlantians from other known sources or even traditions and myths of other ancient nations that lived after the Atlantians. Many evidence of Central America betray the inhabitance of the Atlantians.

1. The Aztecs come from Aztlan tribe. Atlatl was a mechanism that hurled javelins. Their first capital was named Tenochtitlan. In Mexico, Guatemala and the USA there are many ancient names of places, e.g. Etla, Metla, Atitlan, Atlanta etc., with atl or tlan as prefix or ending of the word. Mayas in Peru believed they are the “children of Pleiades”, that were the daughters of Atlas. The endings of the words in their “gods”, such as Tlaloc, Mixcoatl, Quetzalcoatl and the noble Nachuatlatl, reveal their origin. The trident of Pisco in Peru was the symbol of Poseidis - Atlantis. Antitlan, a volcano in Guatemala, greeted Atlas, Anti-Atlas and the Saharan Middle Atlas, the mountains of Morocco in north Africa. The traces of the same ancient civilization are spotted from America to the Persian Gulf. These legends become history with the new evidence found at times in the Atlantic Ocean.
2. The first astronomer of earth was Atlas who had access to the oracle at Delphi, is referred by Hesiod. The names, “Pleiades, Hyades, Orion, Ursa” etc. that Homer copied by secret sources of the oracle, belong to the heroes of Atlantis and originate from Atlas. “The Sons of the Sun” and “Heliads” following the Atlantians in east and west had knowledge on astronomy. The Aztec astronomical calendar includes the personification of Sun, signs of the zodiac, unknown symbols and ideograms. Two structures in Palenque and Teotihuacan look like observatories. Proteus, who guided Hercules to Atlas, had knowledge in astronomy and navy. In the astronomical calendar of the island Anti-Cythera there is a reference in the words Pleiades, Sun, Hesperia, reminding of Atlantis. All these convince us of the progress Atlantians made on astronomy and other relevant fields.
3. According to Homer, the boats of Poseidon race (of Nausithous etc.) were automotive. They could pass through the mist without the help of helms and captains and there was no fear in being lost or damaged. Aolecentaur used in his fleet the windbags of Aeolus. Odysseus narrates similar old stories. The Atlantians commanded a fleet of 1200 boats, according to Plato. One Aztec statue in the Museum of Mexico looks like a mechanical device of loading liquid gases and has the folds of a windbag. It is labeled Xolotl, the God of Winds and was worshipped by Aztecs. Oannes were coming out of sea in diving-suites inside a huge egg. Furthermore, Hercules traveled in Hesperides within a copper earthenware jar. The “egg” and the “jar” are described as boats or submarines. All these convince us that Atlantians had many boats motivated by liquid gases.
