D: Dardanus to Dzilke 99
The Deucalion Flood belongs to a major, but not final geologic upheaval in Atlantis
circa 3,700 years before present, during which some survivors arrived as culture-
bearers in the Eastern Mediterranean. The Sumerian scholar Neil Zimmerer,
likewise associated the coming of Deucalion with a natural catastrophe around
1700 B.C. not unrelated to Thera, a volcanic island in the Aegean Sea whose
eruption was part of a third Atlantean destruction.
Deucalion’s “ark” was said to have come to rest on Mount Parnassus, at the
Gulf of Corinth, where the most important religious center of the Classical World,
Delphi, was instituted. In other words, the Delphic Mysteries were imported from
Atlantis.

Shining One,” and for that reason is associated with a great volcanic mountain in
the Canary Islands, Tenerife’s Mt. Teide.Dilmun
Described in the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh as the antediluvian homeland
of civilization lost after the Great Flood. Dilmun is possibly a Sumerian version of
“Mu.”
