Tiie Lost Atlantis.
BY J. W. MINNICH.
NI’MUI.K (INK,
Dr. Le Plongeon’s collection of
writings, pictures and sculpturing
of this lost people has as yet failed
to enable us to identify them.
Prof. Saville s discoveries have as
yet thrown no light on the subject.
Ihe only thing of which we are
assured, as is proven by the relics
thus far unearthed or brought to
light, is that the original bu.lders
of those vast cities of Mexico were
not of the socalled race of Indians
as we know them or have record
of numbers of any of the socalled
mixed races of the earth, but that
they were men of pure Adamic and
Noachiau strain. But where did
they come from? how 7 long ago?
and hosv long a period of time
elapsed between their first settle
ment on this continent and their
final utter extinction ? And last
but not the least ho w long have
they been extinct? Leaving aside
for futyre discussion and detenn
illation, last of three questions,
we will confine ourselves to the
first of tile series.
In the first place, in the absence
of better proof in support of his
showing that the Mayas were the
first people to inhabit the world,
in a civilized state, we must dis :
agiee with Dr. Le Plongeon, as
his assumption (sincere no doubt)
is totally at variance with the bio
lical story of the distribution of the
human family over the earth after
the deluge. The bible is the only
work wherein the storv of the dis
tribution of the human family is
given in anything approximating
a detailed accounting. Ancient
recorded history existed centuries
before the first book of the bible
was written, excepting of course
the antedeluvian, ‘ Book of Enoch.”
But such records as existed prior
to the bible were but govern men
tal records of contemporaneous
people and had no reference to the
distribution of the human family.
The rums of Palenque and Uxmal,
clearly indicate that the founders
were of the Caucasian or Noachiac
family. Le Plongeon’s' collection
proves this, and also that the works
and sculpturings, heiroglyphics,
etc., have a strong resemblance to
the Egyptian Le Plongeon cred
its the Mayas with the most an
cient civilization and the Egyptian
with being an offshoot of that. I
an inclined to the belief that the
learned explorer has been carried
away by his success in the discov
ery of the seat of an ancient, un
known, and undreamed of empire,
and his enthusiasm Has led him to
premature conclusions, unsuppor
ted as they are. by evidence con
clusive and indisputable. His
theory of the superior antiquity of
the Maya civilization is after all
only a theory, and unsound. Now
let us reverse this theory of the
superior antiquity of the Mayas
and start out from the other side
of the Atlantic. In admitting the
once existence of Atlantis, contig
uous to, or within short sail of Eu
rope and Africa, it would but make
the question easier to decide of
“Where did they come from?”
Supposing that Atlantis did exist
as the ancients described it, as a
vast island or continent, it would
then be easy to account for the
presence of Egyptian architecture
on our continent, and with the ar
chitecture the civilization which
produced it. In order to make it
plainer, it will be necessary to go
oack to the bihical account of the
settlement of Egypt after the de
luge. From the record of the
bible, we learti that the sons of
iiam, the son of Noah, took up
their abode in Egypt. Hence the
ancient and primitive Egyptians
were the progenitors of those an
cient navigatois who carried with
them to the uttermost parts of the
earth in the remote past the civi
lization of the mother country.
The art of shipbuilding, handed
down from father to son from
their great ancestor, the first ma
rine architect on record, stood
them in good Mead, as they began
to build vessels with which to ex
plore the coasts of the Red Sea.and
the Mediterianean. and to plant
colonies on their shores, extending
their cruiser further and further,
decade after decade, and genera
tion after generation. In the
course of time they debouched into
the oceans. Their success in nav
igating the lesser seas ' red in them
a confidence in their ability to nav
igate any body of water on the
face of tlie globe. As time went
by an I the traffic between the
mother country and her colonies
increased it necessitated the build
ing of more and larger ships. With
these larger ships they did not fear
to venture to any distance. Sup
j osing that Atlantis existed as a
leality, according to the very
scanty information to lie had, it

was not very far from Gibraltar to
its shores. Being a large island
or continent in inid-ocean, those
ancient mariners would have cir
cumnavigated it. They would
have colonized it as they colonized
the shores of the inland seas near
home,and in time expeditions would
have left its shores (preferably the
western) on voyages of discovery
and 111 time have reached the
shores of our continent, and here
again founded colonies which fin
ally developed into one of the
mest extensive and highly civilized
empires of ancient times, the mins
of which are today exciting the
wonder and admiration of the ar
chaelogical world. It would seem
then, that after Atlantis betook
itself to the ocean’s depths 2000
fathoms below the surface, without
the formality of leaving its future
address, all communication be
tween the old wond and the new
Ceased, each no doubt believing
that the other had like Atlantis,
betaken itself to the realm of crabs
and conger eels.
But Atlantis, the “submerged
Atlantis” may be left out uf the
question entirely and be treated as
a ray til. It is far more logical to
presume that those anci- nt ma
riners having txpl red fully the
coasts of Europe and Africa on the
west, and having even reached the
Azores became like Columbus, con
vinced that there was more land
beyond the ocean, and like Colum
bus organized an expedition of a
greater or lesser number of ships
and people and made sail for new
and unknown lands. Eilher'from
Egypt or from one of her depend
encies, or perhaps several depend
encies, came those hatdy and ven
turesome explorers. Emerging
from the strait ot Gibraltar they
took'from there a wes’erlv course,
as. did Columbus, many centuries
later, and follo.v ug about the
same course, in the course of
months reacned the Antilles, and
pushing through, entered the Gulf
of Mexico, or the Caribbean sea,
preferably the former. When near
the coast of Mexico, perhaps in
sight of it, they were caught by
one of the early “northers,” and
driven into and on the sea shore
of the Gulf of Campeche. Driven
ashore no doubt, and part of tne
expedition wrecked, the survivors
finding themselves in a land where
everything grew to perfection in
its wild stat£, with a climate much
resembling that of their native
land, and being effectually burred
from proceeding further west by
sea, the survivors set about estab
lishing themselves in the new land.
The establishment of a prosperous
and selfsupporting colony in that
favored spot was as child’s play
compared to the difficulties which
beset the earlier colonists of later
times on the Atlantic coast. They
were the first comers, 4000 to 5000
B. C. Until their advent no man
had trod the virgin soil, no man
was there to dispute with them tne
possession of territory. Undis
turbed by the presence of an en
emy of their own species, they
were left to develop in peace. The
colony grew in time from a hun
dred or less to thousands, and as
the decades sped by they increased
from per cent, to two fold, from two
fold to hundreds, from liuhdreds to
thousands and tens, fifties and
hundreds of thousands. In the
course of a trio of centuries mil
lions dotted the land with their
homes, villages, towns and cities.
The first brought with them the
civilization and arts of the parent
country, and taught their descend
ants, who, in their turn, taught the
succeeding generation. Civiliza
tion grew anci flourished, and a
mighty empire (whose outposts
were pushed to the great lakes on
the north and to ti e La Plata on
the south) was established. And
here is the point and subject,where
in we take Lsue with Dr. Le Plon
geon concerning the source of the
civilization of the old world, so
called. Instead of the “Mayas”
having been the “first civilized peo
ple of the whole world,” they, or
whoever were the founders of this
vast ancient empire, were an off
shoot of the n.< re ancient civiliza
tion of the east, or old world. And
if we choose to look into the past
history of the 1 eOples, who accord
ing to the bih cal reci r 1 concern
ing the distril ution of the descend
ants of Noah and his sons, were
the first builders of cities, we can
easily see the similarity of the his
tory of the peoples o f thetwo wide
ly separated continents. Then
rise to oj ulence, grandeur ad
magnified ce "• rivalled even in
this age of Iril iant achieyement,
their long ma nt lined reign of the j
highest known civilization, their
decline, fall and final obliteration.
Many suppose that this people
were finally swept away by the
f savages which descended
upon them from the frozen plains
of the north. Since contend that
this ancient civilization was de
veloped as these same savages pro
gressed southward during ages.
But why it should have finally Gis
appeared, ; n i the causes leading
to its extinction, no one has ven
tured a positive opinion as yet.
There is not an iota of proof ttiat
these savages developed in them
selves, this grand civilization of a
remote past in ’heir progress south
ward. It is far more reasonable
to suppose that this advanced civ
ilization was brought into the
country of Yucatan by emigrants
and colonists from the old wot Id,
Egypt, or dependencies. The ar
chitecture of the new world beats
too strong a resemblance to that of
the Egypt of 5000 years ago to per
mit us to believe that it was evolv
ed from the savage mind. The
history of all savage and barbarous
peoples are against such an as
sumption. But why it ceased to
be improved upon and finally ceas
ed to advance, and became a thing
of the past, is a problem \et un
solved. After spteading west,
north and south and attaining the
highest degiee uf piosperity
throughout a lung period of peace
ful pursuits, this people, through
a change of luiers, was plunged
into internal strife, and tne tin
piie divided into numerous war
ring factious wherein as in eveiv
Case, the weaker went 10 the wall
In those days such strifes had hut
one object, complete subjugation,
often accompanied by utter ex
termination. All progress was ar
rested. A long period oi warfare,
extending thiough centuries decim
ated the populations. Every city
was against its neighbor. War
and pestilence, its first born, and
probably famine, made them an
easy prey to the vast hordes of
savages who swooped down on
them from the north. Tnese in
I their turn learned some things of
| their captives, and advanced in
' some degree toward civilization,
but the leaven was insufficient to
enable them to rise to the level of
their predecessors.
The civilization found by Cortez
was iat inferior to that of the an
cient builder of Uxmal, Palenq le,
and the late discovery by Prof.
Saville, Zichilla. That Atlantis
existed we have every rea.-ou to be
lieve, that it disappeared beneath
the waters of the Atlantic is an un
tenable theory. But that it did
exist on this continent, we may ac
cept for a fact as evideuce by the
ruins of Mexico. It may be ar
gued that at such a remote period
in the world’s history, no ships
were built which could have cross
ed the ocean with any number of
people and provisions and stores
for such a long voyage. Why
not? There is nothing improbable
in assuming that those early peo
ples had not entirely lost knowledge
of the ark, and that they built
ships larger than any ancient craft
we have any knowledge of. There
is not the least doubt that like
many of the ancient arts, ship
building fell into decadence and
perhaps for a time ceased altogeth
er, only to be reviewed in a crude
state centuries later. There is re
cord of one or two ships of ancient
times, to which the Caravals of
Columbus would have served only
as “lighters.” Besides, we have
evidence that in more recent times
the ocean has been crossed and re
crossed in safety in very small
craft. Lief Ericson’s boats of 800
years ago were merely open boats,
only partly decked, if at all. And
there is no proof whatever that the
ships of the navigators of ten 01
five thousand years ago were of
any less capacity or any less sea
worthy and safe than his. Then
why should they not also have
reached our shores and in a far
more favorable climate, and under
far more favorable conditions have
established themselves and become
a powerful empire? Long periods
of warfare among themselves aid
against each other finally destroy
ed all commerce until communica
tion with the old world ceased,
and they became lost, “The Lost
Atlant s.”
