prehistoric site at New Grange; the start of work at Stonehenge in England; Troy’s
earliest archaeological date; the sudden flowering of megalithic construction at
Malta; the beginning of Minoan civilization; the first Indus Valley cities; and on
and on. Of the traditions that survive from these early cultures, all of them recall
an oceanic catastrophe from which their civilizing ancestors escaped to restart
civilization in new territories.
(See Lesser Arrival)Green Isle
Known among various ethnic communities along the coasts of the European
Continent from Brittany and the Bay of Biscay to Basque Spain, the Green Isle is
still sung in folksong and told in oral tradition. It is described as a beautiful, fertile
island which very long ago disappeared during a storm in the Atlantic Ocean.
Sailing from the cataclysm, ship-loads of survivors landed to make new lives for
themselves, often becoming the founders of royal families in Western Europe.gSum-pam-Khan-po
Still widely respected 18th-century Tibetan scholar who described the arrival
of Tibet’s first king in Yarling, then the nation’s capital, from “the Land of Mu.”
The new monarch supposedly had webbed fingers, an indigo brow and the images
of wheels tattooed on the palms of both hands. His webbed fingers signified
the overseas character of his Lemurian homeland, while his indigo forehead
corresponded to the dark-blue color associated in kundalini yoga with the “Third
Eye” of psychic power located in the fifth chakra. Indeed, his tattooed hands
imply that he introduced knowledge of the chakras, or spiritual “wheels,” to Tibet.
Chakras are energy centers rising from the base of the spine to the crown of the
head, and operate as vortices connecting the mind and body through the soul.Tiahuanaco, in the Bolivian Andes, “built after the Flood.”
