Sequana
Celtic goddess of the River Seine, who reestablished her chief shrine at or
near Dijon after the destruction of Atlantis, which is specifically mentioned in her
French folk tradition. Alternate versions describe Sequana as a princess who sailed
to the Burgundian highlands directly from the Great Flood that drowned her
distant island kingdom. Its name, Morois, compares with Murias, the sunken city
from which the pre-Celtic Tuatha da Danann arrived in Ireland.
Traveling up the Seine, Sequana erected a stone temple near Dijon. In it she
stored a sumptuous treasure—loot from lost Atlantis—in many secret chambers.
After her death, she became a jealous river-goddess. There is, in fact, a megalithic
center near Dijon made up of subterranean passage ways that are still sometimes
searched for ancient treasure.
Sequana was reborn in the Sequani, a Celtic people who occupied territory
between the Rhein, Rhone, and Saone Rivers. The Romans referred to the area
asMaxima Sequanorum, known earlier as Sequana.

The “Come-From-Afar-Men” were revered by the Seri Indians of Tiburon
Island as powerful but kindly sorcerers who arrived in a “long boat with a head like
a snake” that ran aground and was ripped apart on a reef in the Gulf of California,
“a long time ago, when God was a little boy.” Tall, with red or white hair, the “Come-
From-Afar-Men” taught compassion and healing. They interbred with a local people,
the Mayo, who still occasionally evidence anomalous Caucasian features. Until the
1920s, the Mayo expelled tribal members who married outside the group.
The Seri tradition appears to be a revealing folk memory of Lemurian priests
shipwrecked on the shores of southern California.Shan Hai Ching
Ancient Chinese cosmological account that describes a prehistoric catastrophe
that occurred when the sky tipped suddenly, causing the Earth to tilt in the opposite
direction. The resulting flood sent a vast kingdom to the bottom of the ocean.
(See Mu)Shasta
A volcanic California mountain described in several local American Indian myths
as the only dry land to have survived a worldwide flood. Building a raft, Coyote-Man
sailed over great expanses of water to arrive at its summit. There he ignited a
signal fire that alerted other survivors, who gathered at Mount Shasta, from which
