Extraterrestrial visitations, Uranus, Cronus and Zeus, with those Ages of Gold, Silver, Bronze, now Iron, emerge from that miasma of myth into shining reality. The Gods of Greece now live for us with all the splendour of Spacemen.

Chapter Four Ancient Athens
     
    The War between Atlantis and Athens twelve thousand years ago recorded by Solon and retold by Plato poses implications so profound that scholars completely deny its reality since acceptance must surely revolutionise our whole conception of European culture. Solon, universally honoured as one of the greatest sages in Antiquity, influences our laws even today; Plato with his lofty philosophy has enlightened thinkers until our Space Age. These two great Minds symbolising the genius of Greece are justly extolled for their wisdom, idealism and intellect, which down the centuries inspire the civilisation of the West, yet by some fantastic aberration in human thought, their most fundamental contribution, Atlantis, is rejected.
     
    In his 'Timaeus' Plato quotes the Egyptian Priests at Sais , who told Solon that in about 10,000 BC Kings of Atlantis with great and marvellous powers ruled Libya and Europe as far as Italy then launched immense onslaught on the lands of the Mediterranean , attacking Egypt and Greece .
     
    'And then it was, Solon, that the manhood of your State showed itself Conspicuous for valour and might in the sight of all the world. For it stood pre-eminent above all in gallantry and all warlike arts, and acting partly as leader of the Greeks and partly standing alone by itself, when deserted by all others, after encountering the deadliest perils, it defeated the invaders and reared a trophy, whereby it saved from slavery such as were not as yet enslaved and all the rest of us who dwell within the bounds of Heracles it ungrudgingly set free.’
     
    Such Churchillian oratory recalls those proud and perilous days in 1940 when the victorious Axis Powers overran these same lands and Britain, abandoned by her Allies, faced the might of Germany alone to save the world.
     
    Comparison between the Atlantean invasion of Europe and the Nazi blitz-krieg twelve millennia later across the same countries may not be so fanciful as it probably appears. Psychics believe that both wars were waged by the Powers of Darkness, the victories won by Athens and Britain, Saviour of Civilisation, were inspired by the Angels of Light Atlantis was totally destroyed, the evil spirit of the Third Reich exorcised. Strategists sceptical of occultism and Atlantis, agree that if the Atlantean War really did happen as Plato asserts the conflict must have borne a startling resemblance to our own struggle against Hitler. The grandiose design to conquer a continent demanded dynamic leadership, meticulous planning, political genius and military skill backed by arrogant ideology, powerful armaments, organised industry and civil mobilisation presupposing advanced technology.
     
    Theopompus of Chios quotes Silcnus as estimating the Atlantean armies as ten million men, a fantastic force, transport from their island in the middle of the Atlantic to assault the shores of Europe surely parallels the American G.I.s assembled for D-Day. Plato credits the Kings of Atlantis with 'great and marvelous powers', presumably weapons not available in his own fifth century BC. Could he have meant the flying-machines, death-rays and nuclear-bombs described by the occultists and those ancient writers of the 'Ramayana', which the old Indians are believed to have inherited from the Lemurians and Atlanteans? Though Plato in all his other erudite works reveals no technology, his 'Phaedrus' does discourse on Winged Gods descending to Earth and working wonders, possibly traditions of aerial craft; like all Greeks he was superstitious of the lightning and thunderbolts of Zeus. Perhaps we should not be too critical of Plato, in his fascinating though incomplete account of Atlantis, he paints a more inspiring picture of
