I recently saw a program in which genetic DNA from a yeti hair from Bhutan (not bear, not ape) was found and analysed. So we have an unknown creature. Eventually we might come across it . . . Until then it is 7 foot tall and wears a green hat. As you are in UK you might have seen the recent program about the celts and some of their intricate craftsmanship. Such things are of interest. Fantasy is fun. Sometimes the mind confuses the two. Why not? Why indeed . . . I can tell you about a crystal wand (based on Atlantean channeled technology - that did focus positive ions - as in an ionizer does - using nothing more than quartz and copper - however it could just as easily have come from a giant hovering invisible space craft - different cult - that's all) We have a story. Agreed. We have a story. Think how many other stories we have . . . Great fun . . . stories . . . >Edgar Cayce said that parts of Atlantis would begin to rise in a certain >year... my memory fails me as to what year.

In other words we have ruins. Great stuff - worth investigating.

We have nothing. It always amazes me how crypto-archeology puts 2 and 2 together and gets 5000. I remember one of these worthy 'scientists' with books to his discredit was explaining how the Aztecs used polished round mirrors and the sun to cut precisely the stones they used in their miraculous pyramid ziggurat temples. A more conventional and plausible scientist was able to mimic the stone building of the Aztecs using stone tools and a simple building strategy. Meanwhile the demonstrated advanced technology of the sun mirror/laser could not light paper - let alone cut through rock. The effect of Atlantis has been on the imagination. All other evidence language, traded artefacts, outposts and so on is rather like the effects of the Millennium Virus (remember that) gone . . .
