1976 Begins
Bimini –Murias, By Egerton Sykes
"There is still considerable activity going on in the
investigation of the submerged ruins in this region. As readers know I think
that this was an administrative religious complex, having its own harbor,
portions of which have already come to light. What is of major concern is the
absence of common objective among all those working on these sites. Here we
have a series of underwater sites in the region between Florida and Jamaica,
all roughly contemporary, which must be considered as the remains of an earlier
culture which was eliminated in two stages, the first by a meteor strike about
BC 10,000 and the second by the breaching of the Lykontian Plain walls, by the
Atlantic, about 3,000 BC.
Everybody is so concerned with their own discoveries that they fail to
appreciate the immensity of the problem, which involves an area of about a
million square miles, littered with islands, both large and extremely small,
and which has never been considered in toto since the death of Mitchell Hedges.
The
To recapitulate: In BC 10,000 there was a culture in the region, which
was eliminated by a meteor strike. Its successor was largely eliminated by the
flooding of the Lyknotian Plain, which we know as the bed of the

protection from having a fatherless Trauma.
"Glamour was almost completely lacking. They arrived with various
purposes in mind: rejuvenation, trade or just adventure. Although the various
nations left their temples behind, these seem to have had little, if any effect
on local religious customs no more than the presence of the Anglican Church in
Rome had any influence on the Vatican.
We are handicapped by the fact that in a State such as
The newly independent
I know most of the people concerned and wonder if it would not be
possible for their activities to be coordinated by affiliation to either an
existing organization or even a new one. I prefer the already existing one, as
it involved practically no immediate cash outlay. Endeavors have been made to
arrange a small symposium in Miami or nearby, in the fall of this year, to work
things out.
So far nothing decisive has eventuated but there are mild hopes that
all will go well. The one reservation is that everybody concerned must be down
to earth. The matter is too serious to be handled on the astral planes or from
the shelter of a flying saucer." E.S. 1975 c.
Factoid- In 1975 Sykes and Young had another Symposium in Brighton
England on Hoerbiger’s work and Nan Metal or Ponape monument sites. 1975 ends.
This is the last Atlantis Research
Centre journal by Young and Sykes listed for now on the List of Articles of the
Atlantisite.com web pages.
This site has nearly 130-140 articles
and constitutes about 15 percent of all articles on those journals. About 45
percent of the articles were specifically on Atlantis. This means you have seen
almost half of all the articles on Atlantis subject specifically from these
journals. Call this a gift to the young and old reader who would not usually
have access to the more unusual information on Atlantis. And to all after
reading all the articles send a email and say thank you to this Webmaster and
also would be a ‘thank you’ indirectly to the ‘Family of Egerton Sykes’ for
allowing this information to in part go online. By the way there are places to
buy his journals in private collections but they are rare and few to be sought.
I will allow some Xerox’s of the material, but on a limited basis and costs
nominal or low for copies. As said before complete copies of all that I have
will not be allowed to occur for I do not have the rights to do that in full.
Sinc. Webmaster ps. serious research
inquires only in copies made. Thanks
Basques in America in BC 700, By E.
Sykes 1976
In September last (ATL 28:5,75) I published an article on the
researches of Professor Barry Fell on Mystery Hill. I have now received a copy
of an article in the Los Angeles Times for the 5th of June, 1975,
also referring to the work of the Professor in which it was stated that there
were three languages used by explorers from the Iberian Peninsula who reached
North America:
Bearing in mind that most of Spain, Portugal and North Africa were
Carthaginian colonies, items 2 and 3 fit in with the course of history,
although I think it would have done Professor Fell good to have read the late
Mrs. Whishaw’s book: ‘Atlantis in Andalucia" which has many photos of
inscriptions. However when it comes to Basque I must join issue with Professor
Fell. The Basque language is alien to Europe and certainly did not originate
there. It is akin to Ossetian and other Caucasian Peninsular languages, but we
have no knowledge of how it came to North Western Spain.
For thousands of years the Basques were able to reserve their national
identity thanks to the fact that they are all Rhesus Minus, which rendered
marriages with Rhesus Plus people, who constitute the bulk of the population of
Europe, an extremely risky event. Their kinship with the Ossetians is shown by that fact that
this race is also Rhesus Minus.
Basques and Bretons visited America in their hunt for fishing grounds
for stockfish (cod), but it is in the highest degree doubtful whether, if by
storm or other reason they had been forced to land on the East Coast, any among
them would have been capable of writing inscriptions for historians to find
later. I have spent many hours in the Basque museums in both Bayonne and San
Sebastien and in conversation with the curators, and found nothing to confirm
these theories. Even if we allow the Professor to give the Basque language the
new name of Luisitanian, I do not see that the situation is altered to any
effect.
One phrase in the article shook me to the core: "The Nubians who
lived in Uganda" also voyaged to America. Surely there must have been a
slip up somewhere. " E.S.
"I also have a note on Phoenician inscriptions found at Bourne,
Mass, by the Professor, but details are lacking."
Webmaster Note- Sykes was only surprised at the Uganda connection
because he could not see why Fell did not see any Nile valley connections. Also,
he felt Fell did not look at the Caucasian conclusion well enough.
The Sirius Mystery, By Robert K.G. Temple, Sidgewick and Jackson,
London, 1976.
L. 6.95 price. Book Review by Egerton Sykes. 1976 c.
Strangely enough, although I did not realize it at the time, I was in
on the initial stages of this investigation when I received a report from Paris
on some interesting discoveries being made by the two French Anthropologists
named M. Graule and Germaine Dieterlen, who had picked up some stories about
the Star Sirius, about which we knew even less then than we do now. This was
about 1933 or 34, and only a few vague details were available.
Now, forty years later, I suddenly discover that these tribal memories
were to form the basis of an entirely new alien space visit theory being put
out by Robert Temple.
The possibility of occasional alien visitors in the past is one which
I have always accepted, although without any involvement with flying saucers
and rubbish of that nature. At the time I was not particularly interested in
Sirius as an alien source, but rather in the mysterious city of Iram Zat Al Med
whose king was Shaddad El Yamen, and which was destroyed by fire from heaven.
The City was also know as Urbar or Wabar, and in 1932 J. B. Philby, father of
the spy, had just discovered a series of small meteorite craters lying 17.3 N
and 52 E, Southern Arabia.
If there is to be a tie up between Sirian visit and the adoption of
the Sothic year by the Egyptians, we have a choice between BC 6,111 or BC
4,652, both dating by Lockwood, our Astronomer Royal at the turn of the
Century. I prefer the earlier one if a cosmic visit is involved. It would also
fit in Iram Zat Al Amed, which lines up with the Ouranos/Oannes period (Orion).
I do not think the period of time involved is too long for the Dogon; the Old
Testament was repeated from memory for a very long time before being put into
writing."
