In this Journal E. Sykes discusses 'The Piri Reis Map'
in 1963 it is not included in full on this page but I will hint at the main jist- The Piri Reis map was
formed before 621 A.D. as well as the Onoteus Finaeus Map, and it preceded with its information before
the destruction of the Great Library of Alexander in 641 A.D. by invading
groups, or people. There was a slight slump in navigation evidence of maps in
the periods between 201 A.D. and till at least the 1099-1154 A.D. with the
"Where do we go from here? The first point to be considered is
that the people who made the map or maps, may not have
been master mariners who used them. It seems reasonably clear that the
mathematics and calculations came form a school of geography in Alexandria,
which lasted for nearly five hundred years, and which included such eminent
people as: Anaximander (550 B.C.), Eudoxus of Cuidus (B.C. 366), Hecataeus of Abdera (B.C. 320), Hecataeus of
Miletus (B.C. 500), Pytheas of Massalia
(B.C. third century), Scylax of Carianda
(B.C. 350), Strato (B.C. 288), Timagetus

The Wheel Turns
Sykes mentions the kind of language in the times of Atlantis,
"whatever languages they spoke they did not belong to the Aryan group,
from which they had a completely different grammatical structure. In
"Sun was an important deity is obvious, that serpents and lions,
both winged and unwinged formed a part of the
religion is known. There was a goddess of fertility who was probably older than
the male gods; in any case the Sun was female at about this time and the Moon
Masculine." We may want to reconsider that Venus was once a man and Mars
may have once been a woman in this light of political religious reversals?
"The ritual background, although obscure, may be taken as being akin to
that of witchcraft with covens of a leader plus dozen followers, a practice
adopted by the early Christian Church." I.e. Jesus with
12 apostles as a coven (covenant). "Conditions were rough and hard
and so was religion and state life." I.e. smaller religious units were
established, or hermitages sometimes involving snake and sea creature gnomic
worship. "However, it would seem that the extremely debased sexual
religion of modern

Pacific- Large ears, square faces on one hand and on the other hand another
group ugly , short, and squat stature, found all over Asia and the Pacific.
These are similar to the stories of the
Post Atlantis Atlantic- Tall, slight, relatively good looking with
sloping foreheads, long noses, small ears, small well
formed feet. Their skins were less pigmented then the Long Ear race. Found in

Method of transcribing ideas- "the first
efforts at writing were confined to means of identification.
A child would wear an amulet showing the Sign of the Zodiac (whatever kind)
under which it was born, the sigil of the church to which it belonged, etc.
This would be followed by "Chops" stamped on objects to identify the
owner, as with sheep and cattle. An elementary system of enumeration would
follow. But here came the split. The Glyphs, which include the scripts of the
Chinese, the Egyptians, the Mayas and Aztecs, etc., represented a series of
unnecessary complications in transmitting ideas, in that only the initiated
could manage to read them, and even then the chances of inaccuracy were fairly
large. But this type of system is the one that was in use at the time of the
catastrophe, a fact which would imply that we have little, if any chance of
ever finding any inscription or document likely to be helpful to our
research." Sykes mentions that if this is the case then a very advanced
from of writing was established by the end not the beginning of Atlantis, and
that with the technologies lost or some scientists, the knowledge to produce a
more complicated system had been cut short before the advent of the
transmission via not walls or mud tablets but of paper. The mud tablets in a
sense may have been commemorative out of the memory of catastrophe by writing
down the flood story and rations conditions of counting days for food before it
ran out on the very mud that came from the inundation???
Monetary-was not based on gold or silver tokens, it was based on the
value to value of traded goods themselves, or some kind of labor for a certain
goods. This is why there is speculation that the coin in the owl vase P.
Schliemann claimed is probably not a Atlantis coinage, but more likely a sigil
attached to the owl totem itself if anything prehistorically realistic thus so
far? For this reason if we are talking about Crete and coins we are not talking
about Plato's Atlantis, if we are talking about the Atlanteans
using gold and silver as if it were expendable to make walls lined with them.
And if we are talking about a Cretan Villages that as of yet do not show that
degree of solid gold wall lining even counting
Who were the Telchines?
E. Sykes
In the classical records of the post catastrophe period the Telchines tend to play an important part. This race of
artificers, artists and magicians, connected with the sea at every stage in
their history, were entrusted by rhea with the upbringing of Poseidon, which
they accomplished with the aid of Caphiera, the
daughter of Oceanus. Another version says that Rhea accompanied then to Crete
