Samudranarayana
A temple standing on an embankment above the Gomati River where it flows
into the Indian Ocean. Although the name of the sea-god Samudra, to which
Samudranarayana has been dedicated, suggests the lost Pacific Motherland of
Mu, the sacred structure’s circular design resembles the concentric layout of
Atlantis, as described by Plato. Samudranarayana may have been a blending of
both sunken civilizations.Sa Na Duniya
An early king in Hausa oral tradition of Nigeria, head of the “Sea Peoples”
who invaded around 1200 B.C., following the Great Flood which engulfed his former
kingdom.
(See Sea Peoples)Saracura
“Water Hen,” a goddess who saved the ancestors of the Karaya and Ges
Indians from a universal flood by leading them to the peak of a mountain at the
center of the world. This deluge-myth suggests the Atlantean Navel of the World cult.

Described as either the grandson or great nephew of Heinrich Schliemann,
the renowned discoverer of Troy and Mycenea. Paul Schliemann’s published article,
“How I Discovered Atlantis, The Source of All Civilization,” appeared in a 1912
edition of the New York American. It claimed that Heinrich, while excavating Trojan
ruins on the hill at Hissarlik, in Turkey, found a large bronze vase covered with a
Phoenician inscription that read, “From King Cronos of Atlantis.” Paul promised
readers that a book fully explaining his discovery of Atlantis would be published
shortly thereafter, but he was never heard from again.
Most skeptics and even Atlantologists believe the article was a hoax, if only
because records exist of neither a grandson nor great nephew for Heinrich Schliemann
named Paul. But some investigators point out that, if it were a hoax, no one appears to
have benefited from it in any way. And Paul Schliemann’s disappearance may have
been explained by his death as a soldier in World War I, which followed publication of
his story by two years. They also cite some internal evidence he provided, such as the
association of Cronos, the Greek Titan synonymous for the Atlantic Ocean, with
Atlantis. In any case, until written verification of Paul Schliemann’s existence and fate
comes to light, his New York American article remains a mystery.
