Dakota.

Meg

“Before the second of the upheavals,” this priestess, according to Edgar

Cayce, “interpreted the messages that were received through the crystals and

the fires that were to the eternal fires of nature” (natural energies). In Meg’s

time, there were “new developments in air, in water travel...there were the be-

ginnings of the developments at that period for the escape.” Although the first

examples of this evacuation technology were becoming available, “when the

destructions came, the entity chose rather to stay with the groups than to flee to

other lands” (3004-1 F.55 5/15/43).

In ancient British myth, Meg was a giantess able to throw huge boulders

over great distances. Her memory still survives in the Royal Navy, where battle-

ship guns are referred to as Mon Megs, from Long Meg. It is not inconceivable

that Cayce’s Meg and the Atlantean cataclysm were transmuted over time into

the British Meg, whose myth seems to describe an erupting volcano at sea.

Meh-Urt

Literally “The Great Flood,” she was the Egyptian “Goddess of the Watery

Abyss,” from whose deluge all life sprang. She was usually portrayed as “the

Celestial Cow” wearing a jeweled collar and a sun disk resting between her

horns. At other times she appeared as a woman with the head of a cow, while

carrying a lotus-flower scepter. Me-Urt represented creative destruction, which

annihilated older forms to bring forth new ones, such as Nile civilization from

the early Atlantean “Great Flood” in the late fourth millennium B.C.

Memnon

Described in the Posthomerica, by Quintus of Smyrna (circa 135 A.D.), as an

Ethiopian king who, with his 10,000-man army, came to the aid of besieged Troy

after the death of its foremost commander, Hector. “Ethiopia” was, in pre-

classical and early classical times not associated with the East African country
