| Atlantis Found in the Appalachians Mountains Brad and Mary Sutherland traveled to Kentucky this year in search of the lost mines of Solomon and evidence of Atlantis in North America. In Kentucky, they met with James Scott, a local treausure hunter . In researching Swifts Lost Silver Mine, Scott, came upon valuable artifacts linking Atlantis to North America. |
| SWIFT'S LOST SILVER MINE CLUES LEAD US TO THE ANCIENT TEMPLES AND INITIATION CAVES Clues in finding the Lost Swift Silver Mine are based off " Buried Treasures of Appalachians" , W.C Jameson pg 81 Clues noted in Italics Following Clues are statements made by Mary Sutherland Present day Floyd County "....Late in the evening, Mundy hollered out, "here is the myrtle thicket. I know the way now. We went down a "flight of Indian Stair steps at the top of the cliff." (These Indian Stair Steps Swift described were not Indian but were in fact, Stone Steps leading up to an ancient temple - Photo of steps shown below) and crossed to the other side. In the photo below you see Mary Sutherland standing on the ancient pathway leading from the Temple of the Moon to the Temple of the Sun . Mary is pointing to the Temple of the Sun . This is the pathway Swift took when 'crossing to the other side'. We climbed up and went 200 yards on the second ledge and found the opening to the mine. We located the entrance of the mine Swift spoke of, but the mine was a cave from which they mined the silver. Although a great find for James Scott, what was greater for Brad and Mary was realizing that activity regarding the cave could be dated back much futher than Swift. This cave , Mary believes was the Temple of the Sun's initiation cave used for the rites of passage. The following photo shows James Scott and Brad Sutherland investigating the entrance to the cave . Click Here to View a video clip of previous journey into the cave with James Scott and Dexter At the entrance of the cave we found ancient markings. Note the are perfectly round holes , indented in such a way where the finger tip easily fits inside the rounded hole. Being that the rocks are 'crystaline' based, it seems to me that these holes were used as some sort of 'crystaline' key board for the creation of harmonics or vibrational sound. These rocks have a crystal base, so maybe the priest would quickly run his fingers over the holes or press fingers into the holes in sequence to produce some harmonic to open a portal or create some magical event. portal or create some sort of magical event. Creating harmonics from rocks was practiced during the times of the Atlanteans and Ancient Kingdoms. |
| Atlantis - A World Empire Prevalent among western European cultures are traditions of lost or mysterious islands in the western ocean. One of the oldest of these traditions is the island of Atlantis. The early written description of the island was compiled by Plato (c.428 B.C. - c.348 B.C), in his Timaeus. The Timaeus was a narration on cosmology, physics and biology, with Pliny putting his words into the mouth of the astronomer Timaeus of Locri. The inhabitants of Atlantis were the Colossi, so-called by the Greeks because they were said to have been giants who settled in the islands and coasts of the Atlantic Ocean at the time of the “great migrations� in the Middle Stone Age. The Colossi appear in Greek Mythology as the rebellious “Titans�, who, all except for one tribe , settled outside the “Pillars of Hercules� in the islands and coasts of the “western ocean� under the leadership of Atlas, former king of Maurentania , and his brothers, Gadir (Gaderius) or Eumelus (Eumolus), Ampher[es] (Amphisus), Evaemon (Eudemon), Mneseus, Autochthon, Elasippus, Mestor, Diaprepes, and Azaes, all of whom were the early patriarchs. , Each of the ten ruled , as king, over a tribe of the Colossi , founding their own kingdoms. Atlas settled in the isle or island-continent of Atlantis while his brothers migrated to the other islands and coasts of the Atlantic. Gadir settled Spain; Ampher settled Britain; Evaemon settled France; Mneseus settled Burgundy; Autochthon settled Germany; Elasippus settled Italy, Sardinia, and Malta; Mestor ruled North-West Africa [Mauretania] with his tribe; Diaprepes settled Scandinavia; and Azaes settled America. Plato wrote: “ Atlas and his brothers took their sisters as their wives . They were the sons and daughters of the Greek sea-god Poseidon , known to the Romans as Neptune, begotten of the mortal-woman Cleito (Kleito), who was the daughter of Evenor, an early classical king, and his vestal-virgin wife, Leucippe. In Greek tradition, Atlas was the son of their patriarch Lapetos, who was the son of Deucalion, the greek version of Noah. Atlas was the son of the Greek patriarch Lapetos, who was the son of Deucalion, the Greek Noah. Biblically Japheth was one of the three sons of Noah. And according to the descriptions given in Genesis 6:4 , Job 1:6;2:1 and 2 Peter 2:4,5m he was of terrestrial and extra terrestrial breeding. It is believed by some theologians that God created astral- beings (sons of gods) as well as terrestrial-beings, and that these astral-beings had intercourse with mortal-women , producing giants, demi-gods, and our mythological heroes. According to Greek tradition, Atlas was a rebellious giant, or “Titan�, who having fought , was punished by the Greek gods by being vanquished from Mount Olympus and to forever carry the world-globe on his shoulders. From him, we get the names of the Atlantic Ocean and the Continent of Atlantis. According to Plato, Atlas was first King of Atlantis and the ancestor of its royal house. Although Atlas had many wives and numerous descendants, the senior line always retained the kingdom. "...which the eldest son handed on to his eldest son for many generations over the centuries in uninterrupted succession�, wrote Plato. Atlas was called "The King of the World, with Atlantis as the governing factor over the world. ". Plato described the capital of Atlantis as remarkable, having a large scale and decorative splendor of its public buildings, its temple, and the imperial palace, which were all built of white, black, and red sandstone, or marble. The city’s port, or harbor, was constantly busy and “full of vessels and merchants from all parts of the world , making Atlantis very wealthy and powerful. The “New Stone Age� saw the rise of Atlantis to a great power. During this time, Atlantis began expanding all along the coasts of the Atlantic establishing out-posts and colonies. By the Bronze Age , Atlantis had become the centre of a trans-Atlantis maritime empire with colonies all around the world. According to Plato, at the beginning of the Early Bronze Age, Atlantis expanded into the western Mediterranean waters, subdued the parts of Libya [North Africa] as far as Egypt, and the parts of Europe as far as Tyrrhenia [Italy]�, and established an out-post on the Isle of Malta. It was during this time, that Egypt starts its history with Menes as its first king, As King of Upper Egypt [Pathros], he conquered Lower Egypt [Kaphtor] and unified the country, establishing Egypt’s first national dynasty, circa 3000BC. His conquest of Lower Egypt caused the migration of the Mizraimite Caphorites from the Egyptian delta to the isle of Crete. They were the pre-Minoan people of Crete. During this time, the Canaanites of Palestine were also establishing colonies , founding Sidon, Avaris, and Troy. The settlers of Sidon later became the Phoenicians who went on to found Tyre, Beruit, Arka, and other cities. The settlers of Avaris [Tanis] became the Belgae of Egypt, who gave Egypt its Second-Dynasty, and later upon their expulsion by Egypt’s Third- Dynasty migrated to Greece and founded Athens. The Belgae in Greece were the Pelasgic Greeks [pre-Greeks]. The Canaanite settlers of Troy were the first of nine different peoples who occupied the city in ancient-times. Explorers from Atlantis were sent to neighboring islands and coasts during the New Stone Age, some of whom came to the British Isles and engaged in active barter with the natives. These natives were also Colossi by race but not as technically advanced as their cousins. The Atlanteans were soon mining tin in Britain and copper in Ireland to make bronze in their smelteries on their home-island of Atlantis, which the Atlanteans then exported to the British Isles, bringing in the Bronze Age to Britian. ( During this time, they were also mining Copper in North America and producing Bronze through the smelteries there) Colonists from Atlantis then followed and settled in the British Isles during the New Stone Age, establishing work-camps to mine tin and copper, introducing the megalithic culture, the culture of Atlantis, as well as the religion of Atlantis For More on the Atlanteans in North America Click Here |

Phaistos Disc, seems to be similar to the artifact found in Kentucky. The Phaistos Disc was found in the palace of Phaistos on
Crete and , might have been linked with the Egyptian game of Senet and Snake Game. H. Peter Aleff argues that the depictions
are not a script, but are related to the signs of the board game. Senet was a popular pastime in ancient Egypt from late
pre-dynastic times on and is well documented because it became an important part of the funerary magic and then evolved into
today's Backgammon. Its pieces simulated the passage of the player through life and, even more importantly, through death
and its perils. On its last field, they were reborn into the eternal afterlife, just as the Backgammon pieces are still "born" at the
end of their pursuit.
The Snake Game appears even earlier in the record, with the oldest surviving copies of any known board game. It helped at
least one king in the Old Kingdom Pyramid Texts to ascend to heaven and so seems to have represented the same journey,
except that its path was not folded, as in Senet, but coiled into the spiral of a snake's rolled-up body. On one of its sculpted
stone boards, the tail of the snake ended in the head of a goose.
