Atlantis -
the history of a lost civilisation?
You can read
here the whole story of a hitherto unknown civilisation, and decide for yourself if it is the true story of a whole society forgotten for
millennia, or simply a work of imagination.
I discovered
this very detailed history of Atlantis and her empire - "Sayatal
atlantisayu ed atlanan ceriehayu"
in the original tongue - as a
handwritten document in a package on my doorstep!
That much I know to be fact. Yet the history itself appears to be the work
of an author describing the archaeological and literary discoveries about
Atlantis and neighbouring countries found beneath the Sahara Desert. Is
this truth - and if so, how can it be, as we know of no such discoveries
being made in our world? Is it a document I have somehow received from the
future, or perhaps from an alternate timeline? Or is it all a long invention by the
unknown writer?
I can only
reproduce the words as I received them, and leave it to you to decide if
this whole magnificent story of the rise and fall of an Empire named
Atlantis, with its detailed account of the societies, politics, military
conquests, arts and languages of a whole Continent, is a true description
of a real world of the past ----
OR NOT!

Please note
that the only changes I have made to the original document were to arrange
it in a way suitable for displaying it on the Internet. The text remains
exactly as it was in the original, and maps and pictures have been scanned
in with as much detail as possible, although it is evident that a lot of
the pictures and paintings date from the modern era, rather than that of
the Atlanteans. The
background colours for the various texts do have an additional
significance, however, which you can read about in the section called
"the significance of the background colours" below..
There is a
sitemap for this whole project at Sitemap
For an introductory
outline of the whole of Atlantean history, follow this link:
Outline of Atlantean history
The
first section of links below will take you through the whole history of
Atlantis and her Empire, from earliest times to her final demise. Start
with "The discovery of Atlantis", which also includes the story
of her pre-Imperial history, then move on to the First Empire. The link to
this, like all the historical links below, covers just the first part of
this period. Additional links at the bottom of each page you reach will
lead you on chronologically through each period. You can carry on right
through to the Later Final Wars and the end of Atlantis.
Below these
historical links is
more information about different aspects of Atlantean society - the Army,
religion, the languages, the Government -, as well as a selection of
original documents, mostly translated into English. Again, each link below
is usually just the first of a series, which you can access from the
bottom of the relevant page.
For those who are particularly interested in languages, follow this
link: Languages - introduction
If you would like to
read about Atlantean military and naval history, and see a list of the major battles
of the era and their sites, go to: The Atlantean Army - till 361
(and the later sections) and
Index of Atlantean Army battles-alphabetical order
(and the links from here) there is also a section
here on the navy: The Atlantean Navy
The section of original documents is mostly in English translation at
: Original documents - introduction.
There are some in the original Atlantean with translations: Creation of the world
and The Code of 1816.
The former has a line-by-line linguistic analysis at Creation of the world - analysis
To learn about the
sources of this history, go to Sources of Atlantean history
For some more
speculation about the origins of this whole work, and the fact that it is
in English at all, go to the first part of the section about the Atlantean language
