212 The Atlantis Encyclopedia
provenance is found not only in its use by the Tuatha da Danann. “Og,” as
mentioned in the following entry, is widely connected with Atlantis in Ireland
(Tir-nan-Og), Homeric Greece (Ogygia), the Andean Ogllo, and the biblical Og
of Noah’s ark. Ogma and his people were unquestionably Atlanteans, sufficient
reason to regard his script as such.Ogriae
In a “life-reading” by American psychic Edgar Cayce, Ogriae was an Atlantean
princess at a time when Atlantis was reaching the zenith of its greatness. She “kept
away from those of the opposite sex, for the love was given in one of low estate
and could not bring self to the conditions necessary for the consummation of
the desires in each other’s inner self.” Doubtless, those “conditions” would have
entailed Ogriae’s renunciation of her high place in the royal family.
Appropriately, names comprising or deriving from “Og” are associated in Old
Irish and biblical contexts with a world-class deluge, such as the former’s Tir-nan-Og,
a kingdom beneath the sea, and the Old Testament Og. In Genesis, he was a giant
who hitched a ride on Noah’s ark. According to Inca cosmology, after a terrible
flood destroyed their homeland, Ogllo, together with her husband, Manco Capac,
arrived in South America, on the shores of Lake Titicaca, Bolivia; there they
founded Andean Civilization.
In Greek myth, Ogyges was the son of the divine creator of Atlantis, Poseidon,
and the first king of Greece, who reigned during a Great Flood. Homer wrote of
Ogygia (Odyssey, iv, v, xii), a mid-Atlantic Ocean island, where Calypso, herself an
Atlantis, the daughter of Atlas, was high priestess of a magic cult that turned men
into beasts, not unlike the genetically engineered “Things” Edgar Cayce said made
up the unfortunate laboring classes of Atlantis. He, in fact, identified one of the
three principle islands of Atlantis at the period of its final destruction as “Og.”

A bay in western Japan facing the Korean Sea, where three enormous stone
towers were discovered by scuba divers in 1998. Their bases stand 100 feet beneath
the surface, the same depth at which a citadel-like structure was found 3 years
earlier off Isseki Point, in the Ryukyu Island of Yonaguni. All of Okinoshima’s
cylindrical towers are 40 feet tall, but only one is entwined with a spiral staircase.
This particular structure may have been long ago described in an Australian
Aboriginal account, which told of the sunken “Land of Mystery.” One of its
features was a huge “crystal cone” with a “serpent” winding up its length from
bottom to top.
