Are Northern Europeans more pure descendants
of the Atlanteans than their Mediterranean counterparts?

L. TODAY'S ATLANTEANS.

- WHO MIGHT BE TODAY'S MOST PURE DESCENDANTS OF THE ATLANTEANS?

ALTHOUGH ANYONE AROUND THE MEDITERRANEAN BASIN, NEAR EAST AND EUROPE MAY CLAIM ATLANTEAN ANCESTRY, WE MAY POSITIVELY IDENTIFY SOME GROUPS OF PEOPLE AS MORE PURE DUE TO NATURAL BOUNDARY ISOLATION WHICH LASTED FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. SINCE THE DEMISE OF ATLANTIS, MANY MIGRATIONS OF PEOPLES TOOK PLACE. CIVILIZATIONS FLOURISHED AND VANISHED LEAVING BEHIND ONLY A FEW HEWN STONES AS TESTIMONY OF THEIR EXISTENCE. ONLY A FEW FRAGMENTED HISTORICAL RECORDS ARE AVAILABLE TO US TODAY BUT SOME DAY THEY MAY SHED SOME LIGHT AS TO WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED IN EONS PAST.

IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH THE MOST PURE DESCENDANTS OF THE ATLANTEANS, WE FIRST MUST EXAMINE THE AREAS WHERE THE ATLANTEANS EVENTUALLY FOUND REFUGE, AND SETTLED DOWN. THEN DETERMINE HOW MUCH THESE AREAS HAVE BEEN EFFECTED BY SUBSEQUENT MIGRATIONS OF PEOPLES OF NON-ATLANTEAN ORIGIN. (IT WOULD BE COMPLETELY UNJUSTIFIED AND BIASED TO STATE THAT OTHER GROUPS OF PEOPLE AROUND ATLANTIS WERE PHYSICALLY OR INTELLECTUALLY INFERIOR).

IN THE PAST, BORDERS WERE USUALLY DETERMINED BY NATURAL BOUNDARIES SUCH AS RIVERS, MOUNTAIN RANGES, AND OCEANS. A MOUNTAIN PASS CAN BE DEFENDED BY ONLY A FEW DEDICATED PEOPLE WHO HAVE A REASON TO PREVENT OTHERS FROM CROSSING OR ENCROACHING ON THEIR TERRITORY. A SEA SUCH AS THE MEDITERRANEAN CANNOT BE CONSIDERED A GOOD NATURAL BOUNDARY, BUT RATHER MEANS FOR EASY ACCESS TO MIGRATIONS. PEOPLE CLOSE TO THE SEA DID NOT ALWAYS SUCCEED IN DEFENDING THEIR TERRITORY AGAINST INVADERS. EVEN LARGE ISLANDS THAT COULD AFFORD A SIZABLE ARMY AND NAVY EVENTUALLY WERE SUBDUED AND OCCUPIED BY INVADERS. AND, AS IN OUR OWN "MODERN CIVILIZATION" , MOST OF THE ORIGINAL POPULATION WAS EITHER EXTERMINATED, ASSIMILATED, OR REPLACED BY THE NEWCOMERS.

THE SAME THING CANNOT BE SAID FOR THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. ONLY A FEW MARINERS VENTURED OUT IN THE ATLANTIC THROUGH THE PILLARS OF HERACLES AND ONLY FAR ENOUGH AS TO NOT LOSE SIGHT OF LAND. THEREFORE ONE MAY SAY FOR SURE THAT NORTHERN EUROPE DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY INVADERS FROM THE WEST WHATSOEVER.

OTHER NATURAL BOUNDARIES OF NORTHERN EUROPE ARE THE VAST EXPANSES OF THE STEPPES, THE SIBERIAN COLD AND THE FEW MOUNTAIN RANGES TO THE SOUTHEAST. AGAIN ONE MIGHT SAY THAT NORTHERN EUROPE DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY MIGRATIONS FROM THE EAST AS WELL. THE FEW ISOLATED ESKIMO GROUPS, LIVING TO THE NORTH HAD NO MEANS OR ANY REASON TO BE IN CONTACT WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS TO THE SOUTH. ANY LATER MIGRATIONS FROM THE SOUTHEAST MUST HAVE BEEN REPELLED BY THE NORTHERN EUROPEANS WHO THUS SUCCEEDED IN DEFENDING THEIR TERRITORIES.

APPARENTLY THEY PROTECTED EACH OF THEIR TERRITORIES LIKE THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN TRIBES DID JUST BEFORE THE WHITE MAN OVERTURNED THEIR WORLD WITH HIS ARRIVAL ON THE NEW CONTINENT. THE ROMANS TRIED BUT DID NOT SUCCEED IN OCCUPYING ALL OF NORTHERN EUROPE DURING HISTORIC TIMES. SOME AREAS OF NORTHERN EUROPE REMAINED ISOLATED TO SOME EXTENT UNTIL RECENTLY.

BEING ISOLATED FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A PEOPLE'S WAY OF LIFE , NEEDS, PHYSICAL APPEARANCE AND INTELLECT CHANGES MUCH THROUGH THE EONS.

WRITING WAS PROBABLY LIMITED AND USED BY A FEW PRIVILEGED PEOPLE. THE SPOKEN WORD WAS MODIFIED AND ALTERED OVER TIME.

AS IT HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY STATED, THERE ARE MANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN LANGUAGES POINTING TO A COMMON AND ATLANTEAN ORIGIN. OTHER NON-EUROPEAN LANGUAGES BEAR SIMILARITIES AS WELL WHICH INDICATES THAT BEFORE ATLANTIS VANISHED, MANY ATLANTEANS MAY HAVE SETTLED ELSEWHERE.

ONE HAS TO CAREFULLY EXAMINE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN ANCIENT WORDS WITH ROOTS TO THE ATLANTEAN POINT OF ORIGIN AND THE ONES SPOKEN BY THE NORTHERN EUROPEANS, ESPECIALLY THOSE NOT INFLUENCED BY THE ARRIVAL OF THE ROMANS.

ONE SHOULD ALSO EXAMINE THE SIMILARITIES OF DEEDS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE NORTHERN EUROPEANS TO THE ONES OF THE ATLANTEANS DESCRIBED BY CRITIAS.

"ALTHOUGH THROUGH THE EONS THEIR DIVINE PORTION HAS BEEN DILUTED TOO MANY TIMES" AS CRITIAS STOICALLY INDICATES, THE NORTHERN EUROPEANS OF TODAY ARE THE MOST PURE DESCENDANTS OF POSEIDON'S CHILDREN.
