Eden and Atlantis

My earliest exposure to the story of Adam and his garden when I was quite young immediately raised a topological question in my mind about a basically geographical detail in the story as it is presented in Genesis. Upon being expelled from Eden, Adam finds his return blocked. "So He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubim, and the flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way to the tree of life." Now there is something peculiar about this arrangement, for what the text is really saying is that there is only one way to get to the garden, and that it is from the east. Using Ignatius Donnelly's translation of Plato, we have the following description of the location of Atlantis:

This power came forth out of the Atlantic Ocean, for in those days the Atlantic was navigable; and there was an island situated in front of the straits which you call the Columns of Heracles: the island was larger than Libya and Asia put together, and was the way to other islands, and from the islands you might pass through the whole of the opposite continent which surrounded the true ocean; for this sea which is within the Straits of Heracles is only a harbor, having a narrow entrance, but that other is a real sea, and the surrounding land may be most truly called a continent.

So the way to Eden is blocked from its eastern side, and Atlantis is only accessible from the east through a relatively narrow channel. Could it be that a pair of cherubim with flaming swords are sufficient to block the way to Eden because they guard that entrance to the Atlantic and that, in fact, they sit upon the so-called Columns of Heracles―the modern Punta Almina in Morocco and Europa Point in Gibraltar, on both of which there are now lighthouses―which serve as boundary markers past which those who once inhabited that land may no longer pass, access having fallen into the hands of some new power? This is only the first of a long series of congruencies between the accounts of the two antediluvian realms that we will now explore.

On the scale of a large city-state, the unit most familiar to Plato and his earliest audience, Eden and Atlantis share a peculiarity that is not immediately obvious to the casual observer, their descriptions having been passed through quite different intellectual filters, one generative and metaphysical, the other civil and utopian. These two expressions of the geographical peculiarity that compounds that previously mentioned anomaly, their limited easterly means of access, involves the place of the liquid element in the layout of this ancient prototypical human habitation. The Garden and the land of Atlantis beyond its central city are pictured above all else as ideal agricultural domains where it is either relatively easy or completely free of human effort to reap the fruits of the climate and the soil. This condition is due, first of all, to its mild weather and, second of all, to an abundant source of water applied, not haphazardly, but in the form of a highly organized irrigation network. In the case of the biblical account, this system is not described directly but is only hinted at.

 he very beginning of the biblical account and its equivalent in the Greek legendary material. Only in Egypt, as we will see shortly, had civilization advanced to the point where we can begin to distinguish the historical context in which this purported first king of what would ultimately become the Jewish nation supposedly lived out his life. That he was later thought to be the first man is understandable. His position at the head of the great biblical genealogical tree fairly begs to be seen as that of the first human either created by the god of the deep or born from the very body of that god's chosen wife or consort. In one version of the Greek account, this first man is ADAM, and along with his nine brothers he rules over a large island called Atlantis.

The obvious place to begin, in this work of a primarily chronological nature, is the critical question of when, exactly, the events that led to the fall of Atlantis would have occurred. If Solon is correct, as reported by Plato, that the latter's ancestor derived his knowledge from an Egyptian priest, then we may begin to narrow the date of the events described by that priest to the recorded history of Egypt, which has never gone back much farther than the end of the 4th Millennium BC, no earlier than the first few centuries before the year 3000. This immediately destroys any suggestion that Atlantis fell 9000 years before Solon and we can begin to suspect a systematic lengthening of the timeline similar to the one we have already discovered in the biblical account. In this case it would appear, despite the widely held opinion that the priest to whom Solon spoke mistranslated the number of years by a factor of ten, that he actually managed to get the units wrong, for it turns out that the Egyptians used a three-season year, spring, summer, and winter, as I noted in the chapter "The Tarot of the Greeks" in my Origins of the Tarot Deck, so that the relevant figure was 9000 seasons.

If we are to use our already carefully extracted biblical timeline to identify the true era of Atlantis, we must first determine where this cataclysm fits in the series of catastrophes described, sometimes clearly, often obliquely, in the bible. The reader may consult the following table at this point. This will allow him or her to see the direction in which we are headed in our elucidation of the underlying forces that led to the notion of world ages and regularly repeating global catastrophes, two of which were anciently described in the tales of the destruction of the Atlantic kingdom and the expulsion from Eden. The table contains data from dendrochronology, the initial years of periods of minimum yearly tree growth; biblical events of a decidedly naturalistic nature, i.e., famines, floods, fallout from apparent volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, all adjusted for chronological inflation; mythological data, again, those that took a specifically naturalistic form, floods and inundations in particular, where they can be placed with any degree of certainty in a proper chronological context; and theological data where that agrees with the specific system of world ages, catastrophes, and the notion of the return of avatars on a clearly defined schedule.

There has been some limited attempt to edit the results with an eye to extracting the actual temporal cycle of the events described, though this was to a large extent unnecessary due to the relative simplicity and consistency of the chronological system involved. In short, the nominal cycle consists of 600 years, a specifically luni-solar period, divided into 29 equal divisions that approximate 20.69 years. These are grouped almost exclusively into clusters of six, very close to 124 years in total, except that every fifth cycle there is one that consists of only five of these subcycles, or about 104 years in total. Because the overall cycle is always close to 600 years, or one neros period, each subsidiary period also repeats on a 600-year cycle. What caused these events is at present unclear, though we will take a closer look at the possibilities later on. If it were not for the very real dendrochronological data, it would be truly tempting to take the whole system for an astrological chimera. As it is, the tree-ring data forces us to take this system of floods, famines, and avatars quite seriously, though there is still some small amount of room for human intervention in the natural process. That the ancients ascribed these events to the "gods" is not at all helpful unless we can identify just exactly what, or whom, they were talking about. Though we have already suggested that Atlantis was Eden and, by extension, Atlas was Adam, I will take this opportunity to compare the two tales and to use each of them to fill in some of the gaps in the other account, as well as to use the combined narrative thus obtained to try to determine when and where this event occurred.

Σ=Undefined short cycle. This is simply a place keeping device making calculations easier. 1Cycle beginning with the event of 4375 BC. 2These "Sons of Horus" would appear to be the kings (or queens) of Atlantis, that is, the fertile Sahara. The final digits of the number given as 13420 are missing, so that the actual figure could approach 13500, giving a date very near our reconstructed 7450 BC. See 15183 BC for the surprising consequences of the addition of 80 years to this figure. 3Hermann Jacobi places this at 4500. Tilak uses Jacobi's dating in his second work. 4Darker yellow portions of the table indicate periods found in the Hebrew bible. Green segments indicate seminal non-cometary years. Orange segments indicate currently undefined periods. 5Approximately 20.5–21.5 years per orbit. Most intervals are approximate. 6Years in previous 29 cycles. From AD 429, years in previous 30 cycles. 7Michael Owen Wise calls this gentleman "Judah," though there is no direct evidence of his name. This may or may not be the same character as Yeshu the Nazar.
