The Chaining of Saturn/Sol « Author Elva Thompson In the beginning was the Golden Age, when men of their own accord, without threat of punishment, without laws, maintained good faith and did what was right….The earth itself, without compulsion, untouched by the hoe, unfurrowed by any share, produced all things spontaneously….it was a season of everlasting spring. Ovid in the sixth book of his Metamorphoses. The Golden Age of Sol/Saturn Saturn/Sol In antiquity Saturn was our sun… and we lived in Paradise, the Golden Age of Man.

Ancient Advanced Civilizations | Ancient Explorers EmailShare 2636EmailShare According to various esoteric sources, the first civilization arose 78,000 years ago on the giant continent known as Mu or Lemuria and lasted for an astonishing 52,000 years. It is sometimes said to have been destroyed in earthquakes generated by a pole shift which occurred some 26,000 years ago, or at approximately 24,000 B.C. While Mu did not reach as high a technology, supposedly, as other later civilizations, it is, nevertheless, said to have attained some advanced technology, particularly in the building of long-lasting megalithic buildings that were able to withstand earthquakes. Supposedly, there was one language and one government. It is said that when the continent of Mu sank, the oceans of the world lowered drastically as water rushed into the newly formed Pacific Basin. Atlantis is believed to have taken technology to very advanced stages, well beyond what exists on our planet today.
