The island continent that existed where the Atlantic Ocean now is and that sank in cataclysm (the [[Flood of Noah]]) approximately 11,600 years ago as calculated by James Churchward. Vividly depicted by Plato; ‘seen’ and described by [[Edgar Cayce]] in his readings; recalled in scenes from Taylor Caldwell’s ''Romance of Atlantis''; scientifically explored and authenticated by the late German scientist Otto Muck, who fixed the time and date of her destruction (by an asteroid that plunged into the Bermuda Triangle with the force of 30,000 hydrogen bombs) at 8 p.m. June 5, 8498 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>.! | |||

In his dialogues Timaeus and Critias, | In his dialogues Timaeus and Critias, Plato recounts that on “the island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire” that ruled Africa as far as Egypt, Europe as far as Italy, and “parts of the continent” (thought to be a reference to America, specifically Central America, Peru, and the Valley of the Mississippi). It has been postulated that Atlantis and the small islands to its east and west formed a continuous bridge of land from America to Europe and Africa. | ||
W. Scott-Elliot’s ''Story of Atlantis'' presents the records of Atlantean civilization as revealed by clairvoyance. Scott-Elliot’s book is a compilation of the discoveries of a number of students who, according to Theosophist A. P. Sinnett, were “allowed access to some maps and other records ... from the remote periods concerned” to promote the success of their work. These maps, he says, had been physically preserved by those other than the races presently occupying Europe—presumably by the Adepts who tutored students of Theosophy, although Sinnett does not specify. | W.

Scott-Elliot writes that the continent was destroyed in stages, with cataclysm occurring 800,000, 200,000 and 80,000 years ago, with the last remnant of Atlantis being the continent-island Poseidonis, located near the Azores, which in 9564 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>. was submerged in a catastrophe referred to in many ancient writings, including those of Plato. | Scott-Elliot writes that the continent was destroyed in stages, with cataclysm occurring 800,000, 200,000 and 80,000 years ago, with the last remnant of Atlantis being the continent-island Poseidonis, located near the Azores, which in 9564 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>. was submerged in a catastrophe referred to in many ancient writings, including those of Plato. | ||

On Atlantis, the once golden-age civilization gradually descended into barbarism as the people, imperceptibly to themselves, grew dense and insensitive to life. Looting and anarchy prevailed to the point where even Xenos lost control. Over time the cities disappeared and crumbled.
