The Bronze Age capital, in northern Italy, of the Veneti, direct descendants
of Atlantis.Atfih
More of an Egyptian symbol than an actual deity, he supported the serpent,
Mehen, that protectively surrounded the palace in which Ra, the sun-god, resided.
Here, Atlantis is suggested in the serpent, symbolizing the Great Water Circle
(the ocean) and in Ra’s palace, center of a solar cult, while Atfih, whose name
means “bearer,” was Atlas, who bore the great circle of the heavens.At-hothes
The earliest known name of Thaut, (Thoth to the Greeks, who equated him
with Hermes), the patron god of wisdom, medicine, literature, and hieroglyphic
writing, who arrived in Egypt after a deluge destroyed his home in the Distant
West. These western origins, together with the “At” beginning his name, define
him as an Atlantean deity. Arab tradition identifies him as the architect of Egypt’s
Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau. Edgar Cayce, who certainly knew nothing of
these Arab accounts, likewise mentioned Thoth as the Atlantean authority re-
sponsible for raising the Great Pyramid.

Site of impressive megalithic ruins in New Zealand, believed by John Macmillan
Brown, a leading academic authority of Pacific archaeology in the1920s, to be
evidence of builders from a sunken civilization. The name of the site is particularly
interesting for its combining of At[lantis] and Mu, at this midpoint between the
two sunken kingdoms.
