Vediouis
According to the Sumerian scholar Neil Zimmerer, Vediouis was a prince,
who overthrew his aged father to become an early king of Atlantis, then suffering
from an acute labor shortage. Vediouis attempted to solve the national dilemma by
large-scale slave raids into Europe and Africa. These criminal acts were opposed by
an Indo-Aryan leader of the Aegean World, Poseidon, much later deified as the
Greek sea-god. He led a successful invasion of Atlantis, killing Vediouis in combat.Venus
It was the personal symbol of the most important Atlantean culture-bearers
and a telling link between the Old and New Worlds through the story of Atlantis.
The Evening Star belonged to Osiris, “the Westerner” from Aalu, who was on a
civilizing mission throughout the world. Inanna, the Babylonian “Ishtar,” was a
Sumerian goddess who carried the Tablets of Destiny from Atu to Mesopotamia.
She was represented by a twilight Venus in the center of a six-rayed circle, recalling
the Atlantean sacred numeral of female energy and the divisional zones of Atlantis
itself.
