E: Ea to Exiles of Time 105
caused by meteors exploding
before they could impact the
Earth. Ehecatl is the most
overtly Atlantean version of the
Feathered Serpent, because he
was portrayed in sacred art as
a man supporting the sky on his
shoulders, like Atlas. Temples
dedicated to Ehecatl, such as
his structure at the very center
of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capi-
tal, were invariably composed
of circular walls, often in red,
white, and black stones or
paint—the same configuration and colors Plato said typified Atlantean building styles.Ekadzati
The brilliant Queen of Shambhala, in ancient, pre-Buddhist Tibet, where she
and her people were descendants of immigrants from Lemuria. According to
chronologer Neil Zimmerer, they wanted to return after the first of several natural
disasters failed to destroy their Pacific homeland, but she eventually convinced
them that Lemuria was doomed.
(See Lemuria)Elasippos
The Atlantean king of what is now Portugal. Lisbon’s Castel de San Jorge
was built atop a fortified city the Romans took from its Celtic defenders. Before
its Lusitanian occupation, it served
as a protected trading center with
the Phoenicians. They called it
Alis Ubo, or “Calm Roadstead,” a
reference to its felicitous harbor.
Lisbon’s Roman designation,
Felicita Julia, carried a similar im-
plication. But its original name was
Olisipo (“Walled Town”), which
bears a striking resemblance to the
AtlanteanElasippos (in Geographical
Sketches, by Strabo the Greek his-
torian, circa 20 B.C.). The descent
from Elasippos to Olisipo to Lisboa
(Lisbon) is apparent.View of Lisbon from the hill-top Castle of Saint George,

capitol derived its name.A shrine to Ehecatl, the Aztec Atlas, features five tiers,
