1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio. 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 2: And welcome back to Coast to Coast George Norri with you. 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 2: Michael Laflem with us. A researcher, adjunct professor of history 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 2: and philosophy, columnist for The New Dawn magazine, a scuba 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,959 Speaker 2: diver and guitarist as well, and the author of the 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 2: recently published Visions of Atlantis Reclaiming Our Lost Ancient Legacy Now. 7 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 2: He grew up in South Florida attended the Harriet L. 8 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 2: Wilkes Honors College in Florida State University, where he studied 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 2: Western intellectual history, US foreign policy. Michael is also a 10 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 2: book reviewer for Publishers Weekly and was a one time 11 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: research assistant for investigative journalist Whitney Webb while she was 12 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 2: writing her best selling two part series One Nation Under Blackmail. Michael, 13 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,480 Speaker 2: welcome to the program. 14 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 3: Hey, George donnice to be on. 15 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 2: It's good to have you. How did you get interested 16 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 2: in Atlantis? Michael? 17 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 3: You know, maybe it's just because, like a lot of 18 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: people who grew up in South Florida, you know, you 19 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 3: grew up. I grew up on Atlantic Boulevard near the 20 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 3: Atlantic Ocean. My grandfather had always been interested in kind 21 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 3: of ancient mysteries, the Pyramids, and always kind of since 22 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 3: I was a kid, felt like there was a part 23 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 3: of the human story that was not complete. And later 24 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 3: when I became a professor, traditional mainstream college professor at 25 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 3: Young Professor in Chicago for about twelve years, and I 26 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 3: started to look more seriously into ancient history when I 27 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,199 Speaker 3: would teach a survey course, say on Egypt or ancient Greece, 28 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 3: that there really was something to these seminole accounts that 29 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 3: for the most part, were transmitted from two of Plato's 30 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 3: iconic dialogues with Timaeus and Critias and a few others 31 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 3: anecdotally before that, and you know, it was just something 32 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 3: that I kind of put on the back burner until 33 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 3: one day I started to take this subject very seriously 34 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 3: and it kind of led me down a seven year 35 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 3: rabbit hole that was initially just a series of notes 36 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 3: and kind of ideas that I just jotted down, and 37 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 3: at the end of seven years, I realized, you know, 38 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 3: you actually have a book if you sit down and 39 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 3: organize this. And you know, through the urging of my 40 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 3: friends and colleagues, they said, you know, you should tell 41 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 3: this story, and so I did it. I published it 42 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 3: around Christmas last year. So here I am. 43 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 2: Good for you. Why can't we, with this incredible technology 44 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: we possess, find a sunken continent? Well, why can't you 45 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 2: think it would be easy? 46 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 3: Well, you know, that's a very interesting question. And I 47 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 3: always point people to a map that I actually put 48 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 3: on on the top of my new website, which you 49 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 3: can check out at Michael Isslam dot com. And it's 50 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 3: a map of leads from the fifties after they finished 51 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 3: surveying the Atlantic Ocean. And to answer your question, just simply, 52 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 3: if you look in the Middle Atlantic, you see actually 53 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 3: the outline of an enormous continent that we call the 54 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 3: mid Atlantic Ridge, which is a giant sunken what we 55 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 3: call mountain range that has seamounts that pop out Bermuda, 56 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 3: the Azores. So my first response always is, you know, 57 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: let's just look at what we can look at, which 58 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: is the ocean floors, and indeed there is a large 59 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 3: continental land mass there. Of course, the problem most people 60 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 3: have is imagining, well, what kind of catastrophe could have 61 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: befell the fall on the Earth to create that kind 62 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 3: of flooding and those kinds of Earth changes to you know, 63 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 3: completely submerge that part of the world. And I understand that, 64 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 3: you know, that's that's absolutely understandable. And at the same 65 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 3: time as I'm sure we'll get into a little bit more, 66 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: you know, this whole idea, the language of this question, 67 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 3: you know, the lost continent, the lost island. That research 68 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 3: really kind of took me on its own route, which 69 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 3: which showed that there were more likely more than likely 70 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 3: three at least that I can see destructions of this 71 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 3: former continent that reduced it to the smaller island and 72 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: surrounding archipelago that Plato, for example, was probably talking about 73 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 3: when he described an island roughly you know, three quarters 74 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 3: of the size of say, modern Spain, off the coast 75 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 3: of the Mediterranean. So yeah, I always tell people just 76 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 3: look at the map, you know, look at the bottom 77 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 3: of the Atlantic Ocean. Which, again, where did that name 78 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 3: come from? 79 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: Other than Plato, Edgar Casey, the American prophet, how many 80 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 2: others have talked about Atlantis in the past. 81 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 3: You no, more than you would think. And I know 82 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 3: that's a very common critique, is that it all began 83 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 3: with Plato and that it was kind of a morality 84 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 3: play to make appens look good and things like this. 85 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 3: But I always point to the fact that Plato got 86 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 3: his story, according to him, from his distant relative Solon, 87 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 3: would have been around five hundred and sixty BC. He 88 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: got the story from the ancient Egyptians. And that's really 89 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: critical because one of the four first sources that I 90 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 3: could find dimensions a word similar to Atlantis and I 91 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 3: had a similar civilization, would be an actual Egyptian document 92 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 3: to turn king list from the thirteenth century BC. So 93 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 3: you're talking nine hundred years before Plato. The Egyptians were 94 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 3: talking about this time roughly ten thousand BC in our timeline, 95 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 3: just right around the same time Plato says the continent 96 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 3: was destroyed, and he says six hundred but around that time, 97 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 3: and the Egyptians said there were ten basically god kings, 98 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 3: however you want to interpret that, but very powerful people 99 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 3: that lived a long time, who ruled in a foreign land. 100 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 3: There were ten of them that was destroyed and that 101 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 3: was a kind of golden age that they called zep Tepi. 102 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 3: And then only thousands of years after that did the 103 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 3: dynastic period that we call Ancient Egypt, with the pharaohs 104 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 3: and things like this. Again, so that's one. And another one, 105 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 3: just briefly is the Mahabarata from India, which could be 106 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 3: as old as a thousand years BC eight hundred BC, 107 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 3: but certainly about five hundred years at least before Plato. 108 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 3: And they mentioned a place called Attala, and they say 109 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 3: this was an island to the west that was destroyed 110 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 3: after a ten year war and sank into the ocean. 111 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 3: So to me, these are very compelling pre plotonic sources 112 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 3: that lend a lot of credibility to these later accounts 113 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 3: that people think are the first accounts of this content. 114 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 2: Let's look at the possibilities, Michael, of what could have 115 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 2: sunk the island. I mean, I'm pretty well convinced as 116 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 2: you are that something went down there and something was there. 117 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 2: But uh yeah, let's let's talk about possibilities. Let me 118 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 2: throw out some and get your thoughts. One inn asteroid 119 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: strike that may have hit the continent or really close by. 120 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 2: What do you think of that? 121 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 3: Yes, in fact, that's that's probably the most likely cause 122 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 3: of the final destruction around let's say ten thousand, five 123 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 3: hundreds to ten thousand BC. And I say most likely 124 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 3: because you know, as many people know through the work 125 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 3: of Graham Hancock and other people who brought to attention 126 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 3: the fact that researchers in around fifteen years ago discovered 127 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 3: fairly compelling evidence of you know, nano diamond fragments all 128 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 3: over the globe that suggests an enormous catastrophe, celestial body 129 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 3: hitting the Earth, who prod likely did it, and the 130 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 3: final I stage and began the Holocene period that we 131 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 3: live in, which is not radically different than the previous 132 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 3: let's say, roughly speaking, you know, for our verses one 133 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 3: hundred thousand years, which themselves had ups and downs. But yeah, 134 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 3: I think that's actually quite compelling. And you know, a 135 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 3: lot of people suggest that that comment or asteroid could 136 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 3: have actually hit on the North Atlantic ice sheet, why 137 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 3: there's no impact crater, or some people suggest even off 138 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 3: the Carolina coast. So yeah, I think that's actually quite compelling. 139 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 3: And indeed, in Plato's account, the Egyptian priest talks about that. 140 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 3: He says, you Greeks call it the mint with faith on, 141 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 3: but that mynth signifies an actual heavenly body falling to 142 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 3: Earth and burning up everything on it. So I think 143 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 3: there you go. You have two sources right there for 144 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 3: at least final destruction of Atlantis. 145 00:08:54,320 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 2: Absolutely, what about a massive earthquake, Well, you know, in case. 146 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 3: He said that the first destruction, which he places at 147 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 3: fifty thousand, seven hundred and twenty two BC, which is 148 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 3: much more remote time, that fractured the continent into five islands, 149 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 3: was actually the result of what you just said. But 150 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 3: it was something on a scale that we can't really understand, 151 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 3: and it was human cause. And so in Casey's timeline, 152 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 3: it was the misapplication of a tremendously powerful what he 153 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 3: basically describes nineteen thirties when he gave this reading, which 154 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 3: is incredible, a sort of directed energy weapon that he 155 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 3: claims was beamed from or to and bounced off the 156 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 3: stratosphere into volcanic flows on different parts of the Earth, 157 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 3: not for warfare, but to actually destroy the food supply, 158 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 3: he claims, of the megafauna that were overrunning the earth, 159 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 3: because this is the ice age with favored to tigers 160 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 3: and giant floss. And as strange as that sounds, in 161 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 3: my research, indeed I did find unexplained like a final 162 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 3: extinction From the Journal of Quaternary Studies peer viewed mainstream 163 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 3: Journal at fifty thousand BC. 164 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: Do you think this may have come from within this 165 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: planet or from an outside et source. 166 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 3: Well, that's a great question. Casey specifically says it was 167 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 3: directed by human beings who had actually met in a 168 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 3: council in that year fifty seven hundred and twenty two 169 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 3: on Atlantis, which was a continent at that time, and 170 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 3: they decided that this was the only way, because the 171 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 3: animals are overrunning parts of the Earth, to mitigate this risk. 172 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 3: And he said that at the same time, actually there 173 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 3: was a pull shift, magnetic pull shift that was already 174 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 3: in progress, and that this weapon exacerbated the effects of 175 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 3: that pull shift and basically dramatically altered the consours of 176 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 3: the Earth and fractured even certain tectonic plates and basically 177 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 3: broke this thing up. So answer your question, it's it's 178 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 3: it's many things, because I believe there were at least 179 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 3: three destructions of the civilization that spanned about forty to 180 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 3: fifty thousand years. As incredible as that sounds, can. 181 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 2: You imagine the technology they may have possessed even then. 182 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 3: You know, That's why I was so focused on As 183 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 3: the book progresses, you know, I take readers through the 184 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 3: kind of historically important information from cultural history, oral traditions, Plato, 185 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 3: what the Romans thought about this. But then to really 186 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 3: grasp these questions, as you and many other people want 187 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 3: to know, and myself was very curious about if this 188 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 3: was indeed a reality, you had to go to these 189 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 3: clairvoyant or channeled sources or remote viewing sources. And yeah, 190 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 3: to answer your question, it's absolutely astounding, not just the 191 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 3: level of detail that some of the channelers gave of 192 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 3: this technology, but like you said, imagining, you know, what 193 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 3: it would be like to have a weapon that's essentially 194 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 3: a ground based death star or you know, stratospheric lessons 195 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 3: that you know, we may possess today but have not 196 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 3: deployed to our knowledge. You know, that's that's very interesting. 197 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 2: Did they have flying machines then too? What do you think? 198 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 3: I do believe so, and I don't just think that's 199 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 3: limited to Atlantis. I think it was something that many 200 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 3: cultures talk about, you know, in many you know, there 201 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 3: are obvious forgeries that people have understandably, and I addressed 202 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 3: that as well, forgeries of you know, Indian schematics that 203 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 3: somebody says, oh, I found the schematic for Avimana and 204 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 3: it's Abeti Temple. It turns out to be fake, but 205 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 3: there are very real accounts from India that are not forgeries. 206 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 3: That absolutely describes lying machines and from my research into 207 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 3: say the channelings from a dwell around two planets, which 208 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 3: fun very compelling because that book was channeled in eighteen 209 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 3: eighty six, before anybody had ever flown anything but a balloon. 210 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 3: And he's describing cigar shape basically modern you know, cigar 211 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 3: ufo type devices that can fly in the air, fly 212 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 3: in the high stratgere, travel underwater, and that we're powered 213 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 3: by this very arcane crystal entrainment technology. So I absolutely 214 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 3: think so, Yeah, I think it's absolutely possible. 215 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 2: Well with Michael Laflem's book is called Visions of Atlantis. 216 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 2: His website is his name linked up at coastacostam dot com. Michael, 217 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 2: why do we still have this love affair with Atlantis? 218 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, that is the question. Well, you know, I 219 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,719 Speaker 3: think a lot of that has to do with what, 220 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 3: for example, Edgar Casey said to a lot of his 221 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 3: clients who just like him in the nineteen thirties. You 222 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 3: must imagine this is a very strange topic that to 223 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 3: devout Christians in his community was quite taboo. Reincarnation. Atlantis 224 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 3: even mentioned Jesus, the soul that became Jesus, actually being 225 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 3: one of the founders of Atlantis, And so his clients 226 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 3: asked him like, why did you why do you say 227 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 3: we all have come back at this time? And in 228 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 3: Casey's understanding of reincarnation and kind of the cycle of life, 229 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 3: you know, people come back in soul groups, which I 230 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 3: think is a very interesting idea, and if you multiply 231 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 3: those soul groups enough, you have whole cultures coming back. 232 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 3: And this is something that not just Casey mentioned, it's 233 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 3: something that many channelers have mentioned that perhaps entire elements 234 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 3: of say a certain timeline of Atlantis have decided to 235 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 3: come back as human beings in our timeline, you know, 236 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 3: and play out the same drama, see if they can 237 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 3: get it right or learn something new. And I also 238 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 3: think on a kind of negative answer to that question, 239 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 3: you know, there's the love affair, and there's of course, 240 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 3: you know, the more you love something, the more you 241 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 3: probably are eventually going to you know, hate it if 242 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 3: it turns on you. And I think, as we've seen 243 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 3: from the tremendous criticism people like Graham Hancock have gotten 244 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 3: just from proposing that there could be an ancient civilization 245 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 3: that predates, say, you know, with technology, right. I think 246 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 3: that mainstream science is so challenged, and not just mainstream science, 247 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 3: but entire mainstream you know, disciplines history, anthropology. They're so 248 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 3: challenged by you know, an independent researcher or somebody who's 249 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 3: claiming that, hey, there's actually corroborating evidence between clairvoyant or 250 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 3: remote viewed images from the past and archaeological discovery. That's 251 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 3: very difficult to explain if you think this is fake, 252 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 3: and you know, they don't want to admit that, Hey, 253 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 3: maybe Kufu didn't build the Great Pyramid. Perhaps it was, 254 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 3: as many people have suggested myself included, built by people 255 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 3: from a much more advanced, much older civilization, and the 256 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 3: dynastic Egyptians inherited it, you know, because people have built 257 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 3: careers on that. And I know for a fact as 258 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 3: a historian, the profession does not generally like to change 259 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 3: to change course. 260 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 2: Sorry slow, Is it conceivable that some of the occupants 261 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 2: of Atlanta's once it was sinking, escaped and went to 262 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 2: other regions of the planet. 263 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 3: Yes, I think it's absolutely the case, and because of 264 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 3: the central location, it explains a lot of things that 265 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 3: otherwise don't really make sense, cultural connections between say where 266 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 3: I live right now in Mexico. You know, think about 267 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 3: the Aztecs, for example. The Aztecs have a god called 268 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 3: Atlante Alto, the Greeks have a god titan called Atlas. 269 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 3: Both of them are portrayed holding up the world on 270 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 3: its shoulders right now. How could that be if they're 271 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 3: not supposed to have had communication. You have the same etymology, 272 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 3: you have the same imagery. And what's fascinating about that 273 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 3: exact term that god is that In one of my 274 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 3: main sources as well, around two Planets from eighteen eighty six, 275 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 3: a seventeen year old kid with no education living in 276 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 3: the wild West in Eureka, California, channels a book of 277 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 3: a past life in Atlantis, and one of the things 278 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 3: he said was he's looking back on the the final 279 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 3: destruction of it. And he says, you know, alas, I'm 280 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 3: paraphrasing something like a Las Atlan, never to be seen again, 281 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 3: which beheld the world at its heights in science, arts, 282 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 3: and civilization. And it really it struck me because it's 283 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 3: like we look at Atlas, or we look at Atlanta, Alto. 284 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 3: Let me think, these silly people, they thought they were 285 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 3: holding up the world, and you know, like Native Americans 286 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:55,959 Speaker 3: thought the earth was on the back of a turtle. 287 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 3: But think about a modern person who perhaps would portray 288 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 3: the same thing, let's say, to represent the United States, 289 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 3: you know, a superpower. And I think when you look 290 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 3: between the lines like that, you see that these aren't 291 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 3: just near symbolic and archaic representations of gods and you know, 292 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 3: kind of from a primitive or superstitious people. These are 293 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 3: actually more modern people than us in many ways. 294 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: Listen to more Coast to Coast AM every weeknight at 295 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 1: one a m.
