Archaeologists believe the Vapheio cup is not Greek, but from Crete, dating
to the first Late Minoan Period, about 1500 B.C. This date marks the florescence
of the Atlantis Empire and its widening influence throughout the Mediterranean.
Minoans may have made the cup
to commemorate some kingly
alliance forged in the bull cer-
emony between their country
and the Atlanteans. Or the object
may in fact be an import originally
manufactured in Atlantis and
brought somehow to Crete, from
where it was looted by invading
Mycenaean Greeks. In any case,
an Atlantean provenance for the
Vapheio cup seems inescapable.

Burotu


Revered by the Fiji Islanders of the western Pacific as their ancestral paradise
before it sank beneath the sea. The island is known as Buloto in distant Tonga and
Samoa. To the aborigines of Australia, it is remembered as Baralku, thereby
demonstrating a very broadly known tradition among disparate peoples all
apparently effected by a common event. According to native oral accounts,
Tonga’s ancient Ha’amonga (“The Burden of Maui”), a monumental arch almost
20 feet high, had its 105 tons of coral limestone ferried by survivors from Burotu.
These were the Hiti, or giants of that lost realm. Their ancestral island was
destroyed when the “heavens fell down,” and fire married water to produce the
Samoan islands. Like the Roman Lemuria, the souls of the dead return to Bolutu
in annual ceremonies. The Fiji Burotu may be philologically related to Rutas,
another name by which Mu was known in Asia.

Bussumarus


In Gallic folk traditions, a leader of 60 “Sea People” marines during their aggres-
sion against Europe immediately before and after the final destruction of Atlantis.

Byamspa


“When he found out that the Kingdom of Lemuria would sink under a gigantic
tidal wave,” according to chronologer, Neil Zimmerer, Byamspa led a group of
fellow seers into the Himalayas of Tibet.

This scene from the Cretan Vapheio cup duplicates a
ritual recounted by Plato in his description of Atlantis.
