Many years ago in Greece a story was passed down orally from generation to generation until it finally arrived at the ears of a philosopher named, Plato. Plato retold the story and from there a legend was born. There are many who believe that it was never true and was all in Plato's mind. The account related was supposed to be from an ancestor called Solon that was originally told to him by one of the high Priests of Egypt.
The position of Atlantis was supposed to be in the Atlantic Ocean supporting a powerful empire first established by Poseidon, God of the Sea. As long ago as 1882 a man called Donnelly, an American politician, wrote a world-wide best seller on the theories of Atlantis. Another theory was then presented. Frost, a professor of history at Queens University in Belfast suggested that Atlantis was East of Gibraltar due to the fact that in that direction was the Minoan Empire. In that Empire was superb architecture and art and a code of laws that gave women equal status to men.
Unfortunately, the Minoan Civilisation suddenly ceased to exist; all that is left is Santorinas, several islands in a circle. It was know twenty-five hundred years earlier as a large island with a volcano in the middle. A massive eruption approximately 1500 years earlier, an explosion of such force that was four times as powerful as the one at Krakatau, completely wiped out the area and the Minoans'. The tsunami at Krakatau was 120 feet high so what was it at Crete? The time differences were not correct to Plato's story the Minoans' disappeared 900 years previous and Plato's time was 9000.
Some people believe that the Azores located 900 miles from the Portuguese coast are the mountain tops of the sunken continent.
Believers of the lost continent think that when Atlantis disappeared so did a great amount of knowledge and wisdom. We are slowly digging into the past to find more evidence of where we came from.
Lots of different ideas have evolved over the years, some startling. One is a book by Prof. Arysio Santos who says Atlantis was in the Indian Ocean about the times mentioned by Plato, and sunk about 11000 years ago.
Extraterrestrials' also emerged into the picture in an age where to be mobile was to have a chariot. Therefore explanations of vehicles or flying machines would be described as whirlwinds with flashing fire. Were the Gods of this era producing offspring by the Atlantean women?
Did men from space shape this great continent over several thousand years? We do not even know if Atlantis really existed. What is the real truth about Atlantis? Out of all the legends and myths that are told and distributed certain facts do become clear. A special complimentary report has been written by Jim Long entitled 'The Philosophy of Atlantis.' One conception or idea keeps shining through the mist of legend. Read the complimentary report by Jim Long to find out what it is.
Do you wonder how the world has developed to its present stage? How do you cope with the mystery of our existence? Please read and enjoy the report.

DOES HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF……..ARE WE SAFE?
History repeats the secret police.
To travel back in time from today's troubled world a remarkable insight is revealed. Yesterday was also a troubled world but without the convenience of the World Wide Web. World events today are seen almost as they happen. I have often heard the phrase – history repeats itself. But does it? There are many categories to choose from to review this phrase including corruption of a political nature. The Greek Senate, the Roman Senate, the Houses of Parliament all suffer corruption and if history is correct at a future date the public will tire and abandon them leaving a possible worst regime to follow.
I have chosen political and religious creeds as a category to test this theory and leave the conclusions to you.
The great revolution early last century in Russia brought into power the first Communist State. The ruler of this giant country finally emerged as Stalin filling the whole country with Propaganda. He then had all his opponents' killed or assassinated and created the roll of secret police finally emerging as the KGB. Millions of ordinary people were denounced and taken away to labour camps by the secret police leaving everyone living in fear.
In the 1930's there came to power a Fascist Leader. Adolf Hitler was voted in by the people because of several terrorist attacks that built up National fervour allowing him to change the laws to protect Germany and gain absolute power for Hitler. The Nazis flag was introduced along with the Gestapo secret police that had a large organisation of informers, ordinary people in ordinary jobs, even boys in school directed against their parents. The secret police used people to eavesdrop and acted on all rumours in a climate of fear. They were not interested in the rule of law but just to support the Nazis' in power. The secret police routed out thousands of political adversaries who were sent to prison camps to certain death or disappearance.
Next comes 1949 and the advent of Communism this time in China. Mao Tse-Tung now rules the Peoples Republic of China with the will of the majority. Political dominance by the communist regime is established and also the Ministry of State Security. The secret police are now in business again, same agenda protecting the security of those in power from other political ideas and opposition. Controlling the people by the secret police is now essential in the policing of the state. People can now disappear and be imprisoned for long periods by the authorities, ignoring rule of law.
In 1979 religion steps into the equation, the Shah is overthrown and an Islamic Republic is declared. Iran is now under the control of a committee composed of clerics. They then purge and rid themselves of the conservative clerics and anyone who opposes their hard line policies. The leader Khomeini and the clergy promote the Revolutionary guards, the secret police of Iran. They patrol the streets enforcing and dispatching justice to all protecting the regime in power.
All these regimes were implemented by the people and when the leaders gained power they imposed their will on all by using the secret police and the comparisons are remarkable. Outside the rule of democracy man tries to stay in political power by subjection of fellow man. I wonder if God knows what man does in his name in countries with religious rulers. Well, do you think that history repeats itself? We shall have to wait and see what develops over the next fifty years. May I wish you all the best of luck.
