WORLD WATCH Continents Aren’t Constant By Lee Sumpter
This is actually about the land that gave the city of Atlanta its name. The land of Atlantis, whose existence is so much in doubt and so much denied, is neverthe- less with us in so many places like Atlanta, Georgia. We often hear of Atlantis referred to as an island or maybe islands. Before the islands it was a continent. At that time North America was not a continent at all. The eastern seaboard of the United States all the way into middle Tennessee was part of the Atlantean continent. The western edge of North America was attached to another continent in the Pacific called Lemuria or Mu.
The continent of Atlantis, or whatever it was called then a half a million to a million years ago, included also the Caribbean region and what is now northeastern South America where Venezuela and Colombia are located. Recently models of the giant snakes which lived on the swampy shores of this continent were on display in Grand Central Station. Atlantis was renowned for these snakes that were more than six feet in diameter and thirty feet long, but I digress. The continent filled the Atlantic basin from about where Iceland is now and perhaps Greenland south to the Cape Verde islands and included parts of North Africa, Portugal and Northern Europe. The designations north, south, east, west as we know them are pointless here because the earth was tilted 90 degrees from where it is now. Antarctica was on the equator and part of Lemuria. (Dinosaur bones have been found on the beaches of Antarctica). Alaska was also on the equator which is where it got its fossil- ized tropical vegetation. So there was a continent where there is now a great ocean, and where there are now continents on both sides of this ocean, there was shal- low sea. (The land where the Alps are located was once under the sea.) There were, then, none of the great mountain ranges as we know them now. In the Jural mountains of France dinosaur tracks are preserved in the rocks high on the mountain sides.
A similar geographical description could be given for the continents that spanned the Pacific basin. Besides the already mentioned current southwestern lands of the U.S., the Andes range of South America would be on the shores of this continent. This continent would fill the Pacific basin across to where there are now Polynesia, Micronesia, the Philippines, Japan and China.
These continents did not disappear overnight. They and the great civilizations that inhabited them lasted for hundreds of thousands of years and broke up and subsided gradually over periods of tens of thousands of years. Now many psychic visionaries point out that parts of these submerged lands will reappear off of our coasts and in other parts of the world. We have a great deal of trouble imagining such things and such vast expanses of time. We are like small children that

think that days and weeks are a long time and who are unaware of the seasons or the age of their grandpar- ents. Other, much older, cultures such as India and China do have names for such expanses of time. The Ancient Egyptians reckoned human history in such vast periods. We could learn to think like they do and find out quite a bit of new stuff about who we are and what we are about in our “modern” life. We live in a temporal myopia of about 2,000 years or so and we think that we have it all figured out.
In earth time 2,000 years is minuscule. like a second would be to a day or less.
By refusing to accept that civilizations greater than ours could have prospered in lands that have disappeared, we have cut ourselves off from great knowledge, and we do not give ourselves much credit either. Our scholars and scientists want our ancestors to be primitive and apelike. We in the West do not want to recognize any possible validity to the strange knowledge of brown people in the East. At the same time it is clear that in only about two hundred years we have radically departed from the ways of our ancestors of only the last 2,000 to 10,000 years.
(They did not have automobiles,
airplanes, rocket ships, television, etc. as my June article pointed out.) If so much change could come about in only 200 years, what might happen to a civilization that lasted for 200,000 years or more than twice that? Our modern scholars would answer, “Why, Planet of the Apes of course!” This kind of thinking is childish and leads nowhere. By opening up to what spiritual sources of knowledge teach us which are more and more avail- able in forms such as this magazine, books and video media, we may find ourselves on the road to civiliza- tions that rival those of the past in greatness. We need to learn not to exclude sources of information that are not in conformity with our modern scholarly conceits. Our continents are given to us to live on and learn for a time, after that they are taken away for new chances for learning.
