A: Aalu to Aztlan 53
Atlcaulcaco
“The Waste of Waters,” a month in the Aztec calendar commemorating the
Great Flood, the first month calculated by the Aztec Calendar Stone, during which
a blue-robed virgin was ritually drowned to honor the rain-god. Plato described
the royalty of Atlantis as favoring blue robes during ceremonial events.Atlixco
An Aztec outpost in south-central Mexico near a sacred volcano, Itztac-cihu-atl,
associated with the earlier Mayas’ version of Atlas, Itzamna, “the Lord of Heaven,”
and “the White Man.” Itztac-cihu-atl means “Great in the Water,” a clear reference
to Mt. Atlas, the great peak on the island of Atlantis.Aton
Among the oldest deities worshiped in Egypt, he was the sun-god who alone
ruled the universe, suggesting an archaic form of monotheism, which may have
been the “Law of One” Edgar Cayce said functioned as a mystery cult in Atlantis
up until the final destruction. His “life-readings” described the Atlantean Followers
of the Law of One arriving in Egypt to reestablish themselves. Egyptian tradition
itself spoke of the Smsu-Hr, the Followers of Horus (the sun-god), highly civilized
seafarers, who landed at the Nile Delta to found the first dynasties. Shortly there-
after, Aton dwindled to insignificance, as polytheism rapidly spread throughout
the Nile Valley.
It was not until 1379 B.C., with the ascent of Amenhotep IV, who changed his
name to Akhenaton, that the old solar divinity was given primacy. All other deities
were banned, allowing Aton to have no other gods before him. The religious ex-
periment was a disastrous failure and did not survive the heretical Pharaoh’s death
in 1362 B.C., when all the old gods were restored, except Aton. His possible worship
by Cayce’s Followers of the Law of One, along with the “At” perfix, suggest the
god was imported by late fourth-millennium B.C. Atlanteans arriving in Egypt. Aton’s
name appears to have meant “Mountain Sun City” (“On” being the Egyptian name
for the Greek Heliopolis, or City of the Sun-God), and may have originally referred
to a religious location (that is, Atlantis) rather than a god. Indeed, he was often
addressed as “The Aton,” the sun disc—a thing, more than a divine personality.

The supreme sun-god of the Aztecs depicted at the center of their famous
“Calendar Stone,” actually an astrological device. His supremacy, astrological
function, and philological resemblance to the Egyptian Aton imply a credible connec-
tion through Atlantis. Additionally, young Egyptian initiates of the Aton cult were
