her from burning up all humanity. In this version of her myth appears a dangerous
comet threatening all human life, but ending with a world deluge.Hau-neb
A name appearing throughout the wall texts of Medinet Habu, the “Victory
Temple,” erected by Pharaoh Ramses III in West Thebes to commemorate his
triumph over invading Atlanteans. They were known by early 12th-century B.C.
Egyptians as the Hau-neb.Hawichyepam Maapuch
Sea-goddess of California’s Chemehuevi and Mohave Indians, who believe
she was responsible for keeping the Great Deluge from totally obliterating all
life on Earth. She spared the last two creatures, Coyote and Puma, who sought
refuge at the summit of Charleston Peak. As the flood receded, they descended
the mountain to repopulate the world and pay homage to Hawichyepam
Maapuch. She is part of the Native American rendition of the Flood, which
destroyed a former age of greatness when human arrogance made the Indians’
ancestors turn from their gods.He Alge tid Kem
“How the Bad Days Came,” a section from the Frisian version the destruction
of Atlantis.
(See Oera Linda Bok)Hecatoncheires
In Greek myth, “Titans of Ocean,” inventors of the first warships, each one with
50 heads and 100 arms. After their defeat by the Olympian gods, they were buried
under volcanic islands far out at sea. Their fate and description suggests the
Hecatoncheires were metaphors for Atlantean battle cruisers. Their 100 “hands”
were actually oars, while their 50 “heads” corresponded to as many marines on
deck. Cottus, Gyges, and Aegeon, also known as Briareus, formed the trio of “Hun-
dred-Handed Ones,” corresponding to the three harbors of Atlantis described in
Kritias, and may have been the names of flagships in the Atlantean navy, its 1,200
vessels divided into three battle divisions of 400 ships each. As long ago as 1882,
Ignatius Donnelly believed the Hecatoncheires “were civilized races, and that the
peculiarities ascribed to the last two refer to the vessels in which they visited the
shores of the barbarians. The empire of the Titans was clearly the empire of Atlantis.”
Gyges appears to have been Ogyges, who gave his name to the second great
flood associated with the late third-millennium B.C. cataclysms that struck Atlantis.
