The Site of Atlantis, By E. Sykes
I have always held that the best chances of finding traces
of Atlantis and of its capital The City of the Golden Gates was off the Azores
and I am very glad to see that Dr. Malaise in his new book thoroughly agrees
with me as does also M. Framdsen, a Danish Engineer who mapped out the
Atlantean plain near the Azores. Here to my mind is the only possible chance of
finding Atlantean remains, the site of the wonderful metropolis of Plato is now
within easy reach thanks to standard commercial underwater equipment of today.
The cost of an expedition using television should not exceed $50,000 and would
probably be far less. When one realizes that there must be literally hundreds
tons of gold and silver lying about, provided that one knows where to look, the
idea certainly has some attraction. Obviously remains will be found all over
the place as the range of Atlantean influence was wide. But there were but a couple
of cities: The City of the Golden Gates and the City of

"I was recently asked by one of our readers, Dr.
Gibault, about a passage in Book 6 of "Memories d' Outre Tombe" by
Chateaubriand which runs as follows:

A New Deal in Geology, By E. Sykes (a
summary)
Dr. Malaise published two Swedish editions on the subject
of Atlantis and his main point was:
"Geologically it is impossible for Atlantis not to
have existed." And here is the Chapter points-
"His work has no emotional background of any kind,
every source can be verified and checked and, what is more he was able to make
full use of the sources available at through the Swedish Museum of Natural
History during a long and distinguished career there."
The Egyptian Pyramids Egerton Sykes (a
summary)
" Form the first source it appears that the names
given to the three pyramids, in descending order of magnitude, were the
Eastern, The Western, and the Colored. The Eastern or Great Pyramid contained
astronomical data, and models and copies of sacred books. The Western Pyramid
had numerous treasure chambers filled with jewels, rustproof (bronze) weapons,
unbreakable glass, drugs, etc. The Colored Pyramid was used for the burial of
priests. Its entrance was guarded by an idol made of baht (a stone found in the
He goes on to write:
"As for entrances, the Sphinx according to my mss, was
already known as the Father of Terror at the time when the pyramids (at
Webmaster Note- I realize on the Internet web this is the
first time this information online has been addressed, and no one to my
recollection as made references exactly to this information at this time. So,
if you put this information on another sight you must give my website link
connected to this source, and Atlantisite.com as well as credit to E. Sykes and
D. Clarke for providing this serious clue to the public for free. Lastly, The
fact that Dr. Hawas found an already broken into tomb of the supposed said
'Osiris' in supposed 'Kephren' Pyramid might explain that some of the trinkets
where already taken, but my friends that is just one room. The second pyramid
has a myriad of other spots.

Atlantis and the
"The great difficulty about the Atlantean underwater
remains is that with the new types of equipment available and, particularly,
the immense advances in aerial photography, sunken buildings are cropping up
all over the place. In
(Webmaster Note- This is a very important parallel to the
recent Cuba find off the western coast by Paulina and ADC Group, that the
buildings they scanned do resemble also the Turtle Temple at Uxmal. I believe I
am the first one to note these comparisons, and do feel they will find some
great resemblance's to the other regional Yucatan sites (Sept. 2002 with
National Geographic off the Cuba Coast) such as compared with Cozmal, and
Palanque.)
"Nobody locally could recollect any time when this
portion of the sea bed had been above water, the usual comment being "from
time long ago". He observes that the sea bed between Bimini and
(Webmaster Note- Not only do we have the supposed turtle
pen, the western Cuba find, but we have the pyramid near Andros that Dr. Brown
found in 1968-70. So the evidence is not decreasing with a rising of Bahama
lands, it is increasing in aqua lung, submarine, video, computer, and many
other sciences involved. ) (To all those who made fun of my interest in subject
as foolish and those who steal credit from others, as well as to the
academia, political institutions, tourist lobbyists, beware the subject of
Atlantis is not for your personal popularity or conveniences 'it is a world
wide treasure' not for the few nor for any treasure seekers it is for
archaeology, we have had enough of Egyptian treasures stolen, Assyrian
treasures stolen, and many others to destroy our knowledge of ancient culture
presently. Also, I do not want to hear from lifelong academia skeptics who in
an instant will change their mind or departments, to steal the credit from
others, most of you should be ashamed since your very father of
archaeology your 'Darwin of culture' found Troy based on a myth, when you
called him a nut, when you called him a mythologist and he found Troy i.e.
Heinrich Schlimann. He was the one who believed in Atlantis back in
early 1900's when most of you did not want to hear it? He also did not
believe Crete was it, he felt it was beyond the Mediterranean in the
Atlantic, so you Greek and Crete scholars who study Atlantis and that
are actually rejecting your 'father of archaeology' who had already proven his
success based on a 'myth' of finding Troy. If we find Atlantis in the
Atlantic, I promise we won't forget your
"Dr. Heezen of Lamont considered that this discovery
showed that a continent formerly existed under the eastern Caribbean and that
these rocks might represent a portion of its core. Dr. Deitz said that he
thought the region where these rocks were found is going down to offset the
emergence of new material at the Mid Atlantic Ridge, i.e. the site of Atlantis.
I am not certain whether I agree with either of these experts. To my mind Aves
Ridge is but a portion of the Mountain wall that separated the Caribbean from
the Atlantic, which was pierced at a fairly recent date and that the granite
rocks are relics of the time when the region was hit by a large Meteorite (30
to 50 miles in diameter which penetrated deep into the earth. However this is
but an opinion, we shall know more when the find has been studied more closely.
To state that this is the site of the fabled Atlantis is going much further
than the evidence so far to hand might warrant. The discovery of Atlantis has
had far to many false starts in the past to encourage me to jump on every
passing bandwagon. Some help might be obtained from organizations like the
BOMEX (Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment) which is being run
by General Electric through their Mississippi Test support Department, in
conjunction with a dozen Federal Agencies plus the Military Services. They
plan to investigate a square of a quarter of a million kilometers lying off
Barbados, St. Vincent and Grenada. Had it only been one agency concerned the
chances of securing any form of co-operation would have been small, but with
a dozen of them plus the army, there is a reasonable chance that somebody might
be willing to do something, provided that some official does not declare all
sunken ruins to be classified information. The Miami Herald for the 8th of
March carried an article by Richard Pothier on the news brought by the Duke
University ship Eastward, which had just returned to Miami after a three month
marine geology expedition during the course of which they dredged up more than
a ton of granite rocks off Aves Ridge which runs northwards from Venezuela to
the Virgin Islands. E.S. 1969

granite therefore up lifted from a deeper region then basalt would normally be,

Churchward's MU To Day, By E. Sykes 1969
"In 1931 Colonel James Churchward first published his
'Lost Continent of Mu", a book which was, to my memory, attacked with even
more enthusiasm than Velokovsky's Worlds in Collision", published only a
few years ago. One of the numerous illustrations pictured the probable position
of the gas chambers underlying Mu before its submersion whilst another gave a
map of Mu itself. At the time neither of these made much impression on me as I
was uncertain of the accuracy of the Colonel's statements on the Pacific
Continent. However on reading through the mss of Dr. Rene Malaise's book on
geology, mentioned elsewhere in this issue, it occurred that there is
considerable resemblance between the shape of one of the Pacific continents
postulated by the constriction Theory, as also of the underlying zones of
activity, and the two illustrations in Churchward's book. Bearing in mind that Churchward
was not at all scientifically inclined and that none of the modern theories on
the subject could have been known to him at the time it is remarkable how close
he managed to get to the best modern theory. Coincidence? Perhaps. It is of
interest to note that in a recent work published by the Soviet Academy of
Sciences on Early American Cultures, Churchward is quoted as one of the
authorities." E. Sykes 1969
