Atlantis, The Lost Continent Part 2: Seeders of Civilization
In the conclusion to our study of Atlantis, we dive into myths regarding "culture heroes", such as Quetzalcoatl and Oannes, mysterious divine beings who came from distant lands bearing gifts of knowledge which jumpstarted the great civilizations of the ancient world (Mesoamerca, Greece, Egypt, etc.) We also look at stories of giants, gods, and fallen angels, attempting to (ham-handedly) tie all of these things to Atlantis. Was there an ancient lost "mother" culture that seeded later ones, tying many disparate races and cultures back to one source? If so, who, or what, was responsible for this? We look briefly at some of the possible evidence left behind in mysterious architecture and “human” remains.Lastly, we will explore some of the occult symbolism thought to have been hidden within the Atlantis story by initiates of the mystery traditions, shedding light on the spiritual mysteries of antiquity. Support the showWe are in the process of converting all episodes to videos packed with educational and artistic imagery.
