introduction of a 'c' or 'g' upon the 'w' or added implies 'Sea-Bulls', and the
'or feigr' as Ur-Baqr implies a 'Great Bull', with the Phocea as Seal-Bags by

A Letter from Dr. Zhirov,
1.) The author is not a historian, an archeologist, and not a
geologist. He is a chemist and attempts to approach the problem of Atlantis
from positions of exact sciences, but without hyper-criticism that is
characteristic for representatives of some very specialized sciences. The
author supposes that if there is geological evidence for Atlantis then it is
more so provable. The history of a geological study of the problem is the
history study of struggle between two geological schools-archaic school of the
so-called permanency of oceans and continents and progressive school that
negates that opinion. While the existence of Atlantis cannot be admitted by the
representatives of the archaic school of geology, for the progressive modern
school its existence is very probable.
2.) The historical legend has preserved the narrative of the ancient
Greek Philosopher, Plato, of the disaster, which befell the mythical continent Atlantis.
This disaster is considered to be one of the great transgressions in the
Quaternary, caused by the submergence of mountain ranges formed in the late
Tertiary. This greatest Transgression of Quaternary embraced all the world and
submerged not only Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean, but also other mountain
ridges of the late Teritiary-Lemuria in the Indian Ocean and West and East
Pacifides in the Pacific Ocean. The Greatest Transgression of Quaternary is
demonstrated by the existence of submarine canyons in all oceans. These
submarine canyons were subgeral, which was proved by many scientists: Member of
the

dialogues: "Thimaeus" and "Critias" proves once more that
Atlantis could not possibly have been situated in

The mysterious Tartessos probably was the kingdom Eumelos mentioned by
Plato. Later it formed a little
4.) On the basis of data derived from Plato's dialogue an approximate
attempt has been made to roughly calculate the dimensions of Atlantis and its
population. The area of Atlantis was no more than 100,000 sq.km, the length
more than 2,000 km, the width 500 km and less. The growing of coco palms
demonstrates that Atlantis was situated 25' N. L. to the south. The population
of Atlantis about 6,000,000 inhabitants. This value is calculated on the ground
of Plato's data of the number of army. But as the Athenian-Atlantean war was
undoubtedly a patriotic fiction of Plato in-so-much as the description of the
pre-Athenian state was political fiction. The present author supposes that the
dialogue of 'Critias' is undoubtedly a compellation but not Egyptian tradition
only. He supposes that Plato himself destroyed the end of 'Critias' when, at
the end of his life, he concedes that the Athenian-Atlantean war was fiction.
The present author supposes that there is some elements of similarity between
Plato's Legend and the history of Egyptian God Thoth as written in the
so-called 'Dead's Book' and 'Pyramid Texts'.
5.) A hypothesis has been put forward that the super tsunami which
arose during the flooding of Atlantis might have been the reason of the origin
of myths about the global deluge among the peoples inhabiting the shores of the
Atlantic, especially of the aborigens of
6.) A study of other legends about the mysterious islands and
countries in the Atlantic Ocean by the present author has led him to the
admission of the hypothesis of Mr. P. Termier about the protracted tectonic
instability of the Atlantic and of submergings that continued after the sinking
of the main part of Atlantis. From this point of view many of these legends
might have been founded on actual events connected with such sinkings occurring
during different historical epochs to our historical time. This opinion is
analogical to that of Mr. R. Malaise. The present author thinks that a
mysterious
7.) The geological probability of the existence of Atlantis as a
continent is demonstrated by the present author according to the study of
modern progressive views about the nature and the origin of the oceans, of the
geological history of the Atlantic Ocean, of a description of the topography
and geological structure of the ocean bottom and of the data about the rocks at
the bottom of the ocean in the place of the supposed sinking of Atlantis.
According to Mrs. E. Hagemeister a more probably situation of the lost Atlantis
is the northern part of now submarine mid-Atlantic Ridge (North-Atlantic Ridge)
with
8.) A number of facts of indirect importance mentioned by Mrs.
Hagemeister fairly coincide with the traditional date of the catastrophe of
Atlantis. These facts are: the age of the origin of submarine rock masses (P.
Tremier), the periods of the Gulf Stream penetrations into the Arctic Ocean (M.
Yermolayev), the date of gigantic volcanic eruptions in North Atlantic (M.
Bramlette and W. Bradley), the end of the Ice Age in Europe (A. Shnitikov).
Thus, the fact of the major submergence of Atlantis in 10 millenary B.C. is
fully coincident with the date cited in Plato's legend. Also the study of
bottom core samples collected by Mr. C. Piggot shows that the North Atlantic
Ridge was a subaeral limit between two marine currents-southern, warm, to the
west from the ridge and the northern, cold, to the east from ridge, proved by
Mr. R. Malaise. He thinks that it was so till some millenaries after the main
submergence of Atlantis. Plato's Atlantis (North Atlantis) was the northern
part of the Great Atlantis only. The second great part of Great Atlantis, the
South Atlantis, in the southern hemisphere, was submerged earlier then the
northern. Botanical and other data show that the subsidence moved from south to
north. It is probable that the full submergence of South Atlantis finished
later then the middle Pleistocene.
9.) The present author gives a general outline of the supposed
location of Atlantis before the general submergence, of the seas that
surrounded it and their currents. It is more probable that the Northern
Atlantis, ending near the equator, consisted of three parts; the greatest
island Azoris (Poseidonis) at foot of
10.) An examination of the hypothesis of Mrs. E. Hagemeister on the
connection of Atlantis and the Gulf Stream with the formation and disappearance
of glaciers in Europe and North America, demonstrates the probability of its
being the best and the simplest explanation of these facts. E. Hagemeister's
hypothesis was supported by the Member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR,
Mr. W. Obrutchev. He, a geologist and geographer, affirmed the reality of the
existence of Atlantis in Quaternary (a letter to the present author and a
concluding remarks to the article of Mrs. E. Hagemeister). The ideas of Mrs.
Hagemeister are in accordance with the opinion of the outstanding Russian climatologist
Mr. C. Brooks is given too. The existence of great mountain systems in Southern
Hemisphere might explain the glaciation of the Antarctic. The geological
history of Atlantis is not only closely bound with the history of the Atlantic
Ocean, but also with the history of the Arctic Ocean too. The study of its
history shows that in the Tertiary, in the opinion of present author, there was
a great and broad straits or bonds of seas between the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans. Then powerful warm marine currents of the two oceans reached the North
Pole directly from the Equator and there existed a warmer climate about the
North Pole. He assumes that the now submarine Lomonosov Ridge in the Arctic
Ocean arose as other great mountain submarine ridges at the end of Tertiary, in
the end of the Pliocene. Subaeral existence of the Lomonosov-Ridge was a
possible cause of the cooling of the North Pole's Region, beginning to the end
of Tertiary.
11.) A short examination of the ethnological part of the problem shows
that in accordance with Plato's data it is very possible that the development
of an Atlantean culture corresponds to the Chaliolite, similar to the so-called
pre-dynastic egypt, a fact which deprives this aspect of Plato's legend of its
mythical character. An elaborate study of Plato's texts shows that the Atlants
did not use bricks, cement and mortar but used natural stones and constructed
cyclopical and megalithic buildings. Also the Atlants did not know the art of
the smelting of metallic alloys. They knew of natural metals and alloys and
metals of a direct reduction from ores. Although the Atlants knew copper and of
tin, they did not know about bronze, similarly as the pre-Columbian Indians of
North America and Aztecs, Toltecs and Mayas of Central America. The present
author supposes that the mysterious oreichalkos was a natural brass that was
produced by the direct reduction of a very rare mineral aurochalcite. Therefore
brass was a very costly metal. The archaeological findings in Egypt show that
the brassware was known in 3-4 millenaries B.C. before bronze was widely used.
It is very probable that the primitive metallurgy arose on the ground of sacral
kilning of iron minerals to the red paint for burials. Special Kilns for this
purpose were found by Soviet Archaeologists in excavations taking to the end of
Paleolite (Orignac-Solutiec Culture) Thus, the Atlantean Culture was not the
culture of bronze. It is the culture of stones and megalites. The so-called
'people of dolmains', the first from 'marine peoples', were direct heirs and
exparcings of Atlantean Culture, according to Mr. G. Poisson. But the opinion
of Mr. Poisson that the Athenian-Atlantean war was the war between the peoples
of the races of the so-called Comb-Capille and Cromagnon, is very improbable.
The archaeological findings do not confirm this opinion and generally speaking
the Athenian-Atlantean war is the most doubtful part of Plato's legend and led
many investigators of the problem to false conclusions. The present author also
thinks that the Poisson's exclusion of the Plato's dialogue 'Critias' from the
study of Atlantis problem was rash. A compound chronological table (geological
epochs, archaeological cultures and man's ancestor) with absolute chronology is
given.
12.) It is probable that on the Atlantis there was one of the centers
of the rise of Homo Sapiens. Atlantis was very suitable for this. The Member of
the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Mr. P. Ssushkin assumes that man developed
from an ape in the mountain places that were formed as a result of tritonic
movements. The present author thinks the volcanic eruptions early-acquainted
mankind with fire, the abundance of obsidian gave the best material for stone
tools. Later, in plains, the obsidian was substituted for flint. These were all
conditions for an accelerated rise of Homo Sapiens. Archaeology shows that
there are many facts of accelerated development of culture in the Paleolite.
Some stone-tools of Orignac-Solutrecs Culture have a neolitical character by
the bridge between Europe and America for man. The first man of America came in
Paleolithic time from Atlantis. It is demonstrated by chronologically exactly
established facts of the existence of ancient man in America when impassable
glaciers covered all the north of North America. At this time man does not come
from Asia through Bering Straits. The great volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and
inundation's before and after the end of Atlantis was the cause of the first
great migrations of peoples in Mesolite. They were the first but peaceful
travels of marine peoples that continued for some millenaries.
Webmaster notes: Most people do not know that there was not just a
moon race with the Soviets, but a Atlantis Race to who would find her out
first, it was extended from the Nazi and British arguments about what area was
Atlantis or what race in origin. For this reason it has been tragic that the
Nasa program has included Russian participation, but without the scholarly
participation on the Atlantis question, since the cold wars end the Atlantis
information has been lacking in regards to Russian information. It is the web
masters hope that Russian Atlantis writers can be encouraged to bring
discussion and new information to this site, that other countries may have by
now decided to hide from the public on the subject. And yes membership is open
to Atlantean Research Journal.
