More than 2,000 years ago, Ancient Greece and Rome laid the foundations of European civilization. The Ancient Greeks created the first democratic constitution in the city-state of Athens. The Romans developed the ideas of a republic and a system of justice that still influence governments today. In fact, the founders of the United States used these ideas as a basis for the U.S.

Theories about Atlantis, Plato, Santorini, Cayce, Piri Reis Map, more Theories About Atlantis Plato The greek philosopher, Plato, brought to the world, the story of the lost continent of Atlantis. His story began to unfold for him around 355 B.C. Plato described Atlantis as alternating rings of sea and land, with a palace in the center 'bull's eye'. The Capitol of Atlantis Timaeus begins with an introduction, followed by an account of the creations and structure of the universe and ancient civilizations. According to Critias, the Hellenic gods of old divided the land so that each god might own a lot; Poseidon was appropriately, and to his liking, bequeathed the island of Atlantis. Fifty stadia inland from the middle of the southern coast was a "mountain not very high on any side." The eldest of these, Atlas, was made rightful king of the entire island and the ocean (now the Atlantic Ocean), and was given the mountain of his birth and the surrounding area as his fiefdom. Marcellus claims that the survivors of the sinking Atlantis migrated to Western Europe.

The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean - 1 In the following pages, I will reveal some of the mysteries which as yet have only been touched upon lightly either by myself or other teachers or students of truth. Man’s search for understanding of the laws which regulate his life has been unending, yet always just beyond the veil which shields the higher planes from material man’s vision the truth has existed, ready to be assimilated by those who enlarge their vision by turning inward, not outward, in their search. In the silence of material senses lies the key to the unveiling of wisdom. All symbols are but keys to doors leading to truths, and many times the door is not opened because the key seems so great that the things which are beyond it are not visible. All things in all universes move according to law, and the law which regulates the movement of the planets is no more immutable than the law which regulates the material expressions of man. The great search for light, life and love only begins on the material plane. Doreal

The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean Dr. Doreal, who has a connection with the Great White Lodge, which also works through the Pyramid Priest-hood, was instructed to recover and return to the Great Pyramid, these Ancient Tablets. This was accomplished, but before returning them, Doreal was given permission to translate and retain a copy of the wisdom engraved on the Tablets. This was done in 1925, and now, permission has been given for this translation by Doreal to be published solely through the Brotherhood of the White Temple. This is the only authorized, original and true rendition of these Emerald Tablets. It is expected that many will scoff, yet the true student will read between the lines and gain wisdom. When Thoth, the Atlantean and Master raised the people of Khem (Egypt) to a great civilization, and when the time came for him to leave Egypt, he erected The Great Pyramid over the entrance of the Great Halls of Amenti. They are imperishable, resistant to all elements, corrosion and acids. Dr.

500 year old map of ‘America’ discovered in Munich A previously unknown version of Martin Waldseemüller’s famous world map has been disocvered in the collections of the University Library in Munich. On this map, the New World appears for the first time under the name “America”, chosen to honor the explorer Amerigo Vespucci (1451 – 1512), whom Waldseemüller erroneously regarded as the discoverer of the continent. Waldseemüller and his colleague Matthias Ringmann created the map in their workshop in the monastery of Saint-Dié-des-Vosges around the year 1507. Four other versions of the map are known to exist, and one of them was sold at auction in 2005 for $1 million. This fifth version is created in so-called globe segments, which depict the world in twelve individual segments, or rather surface wedges, which taper to a point at each end and are printed on a single sheet, like cut-outs on construction paper. The “new” Munich copy of the segmented map itself has obviously followed a tortuous course to reach its present haven.
