Now, Atlantis, on the statement of the "Adepts," sank over 9,000 years
before the Christian era.* How then can one maintain that the "old
Greeks and Romans" were Atlanteans? How can that be, since both nations
are Aryans, and the genesis of their languages is Sanskrit? Moreover,
the Western scholars know that the Greek and Latin languages were formed
within historical periods, the Greeks and Latins themselves having no
existence as nations 11,000 B.C.. Surely they who advance such a
proposition do not realize how very unscientific is their statement!
----------
* The position recently taken up by Mr. Gerald Massey in Light that the
story of Atlantis is not a geological event but an ancient astronomical
myth, is rather imprudent. Mr. Massey, notwithstanding his rare
intuitional faculties and great learning, is one of those writers in
whom the intensity of research bent into one direction has biased his
otherwise clear understanding. Because Hercules is now a constellation
it does not follow that there never was a hero of this name.
