Critias continues, telling Socrates that at the head of the Egyptian delta, where the river Nile divides, there is a certain district which is called the district of Sais, and the great city of the district is also called Sais, and is the city from which sprang Amasis the king. And the citizens have a deity who is their foundress, called Neith, or Athena to the Greeks. Thus, the Egyptians felt a kindred connection to the Athenians. See God table 9.
Solon visited the Egyptian priests to find out what they knew about Greek history, the times of old, admitting that “neither he nor any other Greek new anything worth mentioning about the past.” The reason the Greek history was lost was due to one of many destructions of mankind, arising out of varied causes. Further adding insult to a short Greek memory, the Egyptian priest from the Sais chastens Solon:
“As for those genealogies of yours which you have recounted to us Solon, they are no better than the tales of children, for in the first place, you remember one deluge only, where there were four with many lesser ones. In the next place, you do not know that there were dwelling in this land of yours one of the noblest races ever to have lived of whom your land and your people are only a remnant.”

“There was a time Solon, before the great deluge, when the city of Athens was the first in war and was preeminent for the excellence of her laws, and is said to have performed the noblest deeds and have the fairest constitutions of any which history tells upon the earth” [114, pg. 26].
Plato inherited the writings of Socrates, discussing the history of Greece in his unfinished notes. Solon, who was intending to use the tale of his poem involving the meaning of the historic Greek names provided by the Egyptian priests, detailing his country’s noble ancestry. Plato picks up the lengthy tale, beginning with the assumption that the gods had divided the whole earth amongst themselves, subsequently building temples in which they were enthroned as gods, accepting sacrifices and offerings from the genetic underlings. Poseidon, the god of the sea, receiving for his lot the island of Atlantis.
According to the tale, Enki-Poseidon has children by a mortal woman, populating the island. In the account, a primitive man named Euenor lived in the surrounding mountains. Cleito, his daughter, caught Enki’s fertility god eye. Poseidon fell in love with her, and had intercourse with her and, breaking the ground, enclosed the hill in which she dwelt all round, making alternate zones of sea and land, larger and smaller, encircling one another.
Enki begat and brought up five pairs of male children, dividing the island of Atlantis into ten portions; he gave to his first born of the eldest pair, his mother’s dwelling and the surround allotment, which was the largest and best, and made him king over the rest; the others he made princes, and gave them rule over many men and a large territory. He named them all. The eldest who was king, he named Atlas, and from him the whole island and the ocean received its name [114, pg. 39]. Extensive details about all aspects of Atlantis are provided by Plato’s writing, recounting Solons historical foray into the discovery of their noble links to the past. Thus, the mystery of Greek history was spelled out for Solon, and relayed to the world by Plato. This accounting has been the factual basis for the search for Atlantis for many years, continuing to this day. Based on the writings, it seems obvious that the island city of Atlantis was located along the rim of the now submerged Atlas Mountain range in Northern Africa.
Without the aid of a bronze age map depicting the port cities of the world, one could not rebuff the Darwinists who believed the sea levels circa 2000 B.C. were little different than today. Yet the presence of hundreds of submerged ancient construction sites from the Gulf of Chambay to Bimini, and from Cornwall to Nan Madol, certainly contradict that notion. Most of the submerged ruins worldwide are situated in the Mediterranean and eastern Atlantic, right where you’d expect them to be, where king Atlas plied the waters, building port facilities as told in Solon’s tale, now submerged since the end of the last Ice Age.
Critias by Plato [114, pg. 32]
For many generations, as long as the divine natured lasted in them, they were obedient to the laws and well affectioned towards the gods who were their kinsmen, for they possessed true and in every way great spirits, practicing gentleness and wisdom in the various changes of life, and in their intercourse with one another. They despised everything but virtue, nor caring for their present state of life, and thinking lightly on the possession of gold and other property which seemed only a burden to them. Neither were they intoxicated by luxury, nor did wealth deprive them of their self-control, but they were sober and saw clearly all these goods were increased by virtuous friendship with one another, and that by excessive zeal for them, and honor of them, the good of them is lost, and friendship perishes with them.”
We have traced a few of the complex civilizations that Enki was involve in launching, from Eridu to Persia, Atlantis, Egypt and Greece. Next we will explore the Anunnaki lessons taught to us about the Heavens.
CHAPTER 10: Celestial Time And Zodiac Rulers
Living in the big city is hardly conducive to a successful hobby in astronomy. Cities near the coast are often overcast given the formulation of a marine layer. This moisture, coupled with prolific artificial lighting emanating from landscape and security lights, among a multitude of others, effectively blocks one’s ability to see the stars at night. Vacating the city and driving inland to unpopulated areas, ideally at altitude and sporting low humidity on a cloudless partial moon-lit evening is where you will find the stargazers.
Imaging living in a situation where one spent 3-4 hours a day doing the domestic chore of securing resources needed to survive, then being in nature enjoying life without corporate enslavement, as Zog the caveman lived. Okay, my virtual vacation aside, the stargazers of the past somehow, either of their own accord or with alien help, mapped the stars, grouped them into a suspiciously but profound twelve symbols still in use today. They also built sophisticated temples using the megalithic stone blocks which tracked changes in the processional slip the earth exhibits due to a wobble in its inclined rotational axis. This detailed level of knowledge is impressive.
Consider Zog, the hypothetical caveman with a nerdy disposition, who decides to make a mark on a stone where a shadow is cast at first light each day, and being a truly dedicated observer, continues his markings on the rock for at least one full solar cycle (365 days). Zog would have data to show that on a certain day the cycle repeated, perhaps he would have been keen enough to pick an unusual day, like the longest or shortest day as his focal point for the analysis. This implies that Zog would also have to have kept track of the length of the day to assess which day is the longest or shortest. In either event, assuming a lot here, one could notice that the initial mark made on the stone at the shadow’s edge would not line up with the mark made on the same day one solar cycle ago. This is where one would need the knowledge of the division of a circle into some number of finite divisions. The concept of a circle, the Earth rotating on an inclined angle with an induced wobble, with precession relative to the solar ecliptic experiencing slippage at a rate that enabled long-term calendar event planning, are difficult to fathom that Zog figured out on all this requisite knowledge through his own through observations. Turns out that using three hundred and sixty degrees as the segmented measure allows one to represent the rotational pattern of the earth around the sun, in a convenient mathematical form that also allows application of the constant to Volume, Circumference, and Area measurements of a circle.
