Book II: The Scrolls of Lemuria
Chapter 3: The Atlanteans
In addition to curbing the enthusiasm of the Children of Mu (whose dominance of the planet was getting a bit out of control), I still wanted to continue to experiments to create a race of creatures I could control.
The Hyperboreans and Mylars were a miss so, adjusting my plans, I tried again. This time I invited a fallen lumenarc who was formerly known as Armaros to help me…
Like Pan, she too was incredibly fertile. In later millennia she’d be known to your kind by many names [Aphrodite, Venus, Mezmeriza, and more] but in my tale we’re calling her Alyssa.
Like all the other fallen lumenarcs (myself included), Alyssa was bound to Illusia via her ever-draining supply of hellfire. That meant she had to return to Lucifer when her lifeforce ran out and beg him for more (and believe me she took a far different form when she went down to the underworld, but I’m sure you don’t want to see that!).
In any case, each of us had our own preferred means of returning to your world – some came back via caves, others portals, and a few dared to venture up The Stairway of Infinity. As for Alyssa, whenever the goddess returned to Terra, she had the habit of returning to the planet by emerging through a body of water – often a forest lake or surfside wave.
I point this out because it will become pertinent shortly.
So yes, I had Alyssa to help me – and now I needed her mate. Instead of using Lilith, I cast my <irresistibility> spell on the man Adam, and when Alyssa saw him she was all too happy to mate with him!
Like Lilith had done, Alyssa too gave birth to multiple sets of fully grown humanoids after each time she bred with Adam. I couldn’t help but smile when I viewed these beautiful creatures. Adam named The Amorosi, but Alyssa called Atlanteans. Regardless of their name, these people were tall, athletic, lean, lithe, and incredibly intelligent. [Think Greek Gods in the Flesh and you’ll get a good visual].
Alyssa and Adam’s Atlanteans seemed perfect…at first.
Unfortunately I quickly discovered that my genetic modification skills were still not up to snuff – although my experiments on Adam made him a de facto sexual god [capable of mating with Alyssa many times a day], his offspring with Alyssa also lacked that ever important soul receptacle. Thus, just like with The Children of Mu, I knew I’d ultimately be unable to directly control the Atlanteans either.
Realizing this experiment was another failure, I removed my magic from Adam so that he wouldn’t be so alluring to Alyssa. At first this didn’t have any effect — the goddess still wanted to keep breeding with the man! Thankfully Alyssa’s hellfire ran out around this time and she had to tarry back to Illusia for a refill – perfect timing.
I left a lovesick (read: lust-sick) Adam to wallow in misery as he pined away for Alyssa, whilst I observed his children. Thankfully, this group didn’t breed as fast as their tiny cohorts, nor did they live as long – but even still, the Atlanteans displayed some rather interesting traits. Observing them carefully I noted that the Amorosi seemed naturally attuned to the planetary elements of Water and Forest. Alyssa, their Lumenarc progenitor, instilled in them a profound desire for all things water-related, while Adam’s connection to the Earth he was formed from morphed into a deep love for the forests of Terra. This dual affinity allowed the Amorosi to thrive in diverse environments and maintain a harmonious balance between land and sea. Combined with their passion for adventure, and the Atlanteans soon explored every nook and cranny of the planet many times over – or at least as much as the Children of Mu would allow them to see.
Luckily for Adam’s people, the Mylars didn’t view them as a threat. As a result, there was a time – in an era long forgotten by the annals of human history – in which the Atlanteans and the Children of Mu coexisted in a utopian world such as your planet has never known.
Truth be told, all that ‘brotherly love’ made me want to gag myself with a spoon, but since I’m telling you a true history of your world, I’ll do my job and continue to relate the facts as they were recorded in The Scrolls of Lemuria [and as verified by myself].
The Geography of the Great Ring: Atlantis and the Forest Realms
On the Flat Earth, the Amorosi split into two factions based on their dual heritage. Alyssa’s divine spark gave them a thirst for the waters, while Adam’s clay-born nature tethered them to the loam. The Atlanteans headed for the Great Ring—the vast, interconnected oceans that surround the central landmasses. They didn’t just sail on the water; with the help of the Mylars, they learned to inhabit it.
The Mylars, those tiny geniuses, taught the Atlanteans how to build Hydro-Sonic Star Forts. These weren’t just stone walls; they were crystalline structures built on the ocean floor at the intersection of underwater ley lines. Using Mylar “resonance tech,” the Atlanteans could create air-pockets under the sea and even breathe the water itself by vibrating the oxygen molecules into their lungs. They became the protectors of the deep, building shimmering domes that mirrored the Great Firmament above. The Mu Men also shared their “Vril” energy secrets—the same atmospheric electricity harvested by the Star Forts—and with this knowledge the Atlanteans built the Great Pyramids of the Deep, which acted as thermal regulators for the oceans. [Ever wonder why your “Gulf Stream” exists? It’s not “currents”; it’s the residual heat-exchange from Atlantean power-stations still humming on the sea floor]. They also developed the more Aetheric Transmitters – tall, needle-like towers (you might call them obelisks) that were both above ground and under water – a global network of “free energy” powered by the resonance of the Flat Earth itself.
[Interesting Side Note: In the future, after I had a hand in scaring off the Mylars and Atlanteans – in a time when I later allowed humans to expand their footprint – one group of scavengers eventually found all this ‘old world’ tech. These were the people of Enok, son of Seth, son of Adam. Later they would be known as The Tartarians. I’ll tell you all about them, but for now know this – Enok’s people found the the abandoned Atlantean Star Forts, the “Aetheric Towers,” the Mylar power-grids and more. Because the Tartarians were pure blood descendants of Adam, they had just enough “genetic memory” to figure out how to turn the lights back on. They couldn’t build a Star Fort, mind you, but they could move into one. They “repurposed” the Mylar and Atlantean tech to build their own global empire. This is why you find “Tartarian” architecture—with its grand domes and atmospheric antennas—all over the world, even in places like America and Australia where “civilized man” supposedly hadn’t reached yet. They were just using the leftovers of the this Prehistoric Golden Age. But that’s a tale for another time].
Whilst the Atlanteans controlled the coasts and seas, the Amorosi stayed on the land, claiming the massive, ancient forests that once covered the Flat Earth from the center to the rim. They built cities into the trees—not with saws, but with song. They used similar Mylar frequency-tech to encourage the flora to grow into architectural marvels. The Amorosi also rapidly advanced their knowledge of Gaia’s forests – their deep understanding of the flora and fauna of the world allowed them to become skilled healers, herbalists, and above all guardians of the forest. Over time the Amorosi even learned how to communicate with the trees and animals.
The Mylars also encouraged the Amorosi to develop their spiritual beliefs as well and, since I continued to theorize that the concept of ‘religion’ was one that might open the door for me to control the world in the future, I paid close attention to how both groups worshiped their gods. It was only natural for the Atlanteans to hold Alyssa as their primary deity – after all she was the mother of their race. Alyssa was held as the giver of life and her essence was believed by her people to flow through the waters of Terra. Countless temples were dedicated to The Goddess, always near bodies of water, where complex rituals were performed to honor her and seek her guidance. I should point out that, unlike your fake gods, Alyssa often did ‘hear the prayers’ of her people AND answer them.
It was the Children of Mu who also introduced the Alyssa’s people to the worship of Pan. With a natural born love of the forests, it was not surprising that the Amorosi would easily accept Pan as a deity worthy of their respect and among the pantheon of gods that would eventually become a part of their world, Pan was second only to Alyssa herself in their hierarchy. The Mu Men also helped the Amorosi to understand the benefits of worshiping Gaia as Mother Earth and this led to both groups striving to live in harmony with nature.
Interestingly enough, a strange thing happened as regards to how the Alyssa’s people viewed the father of their race. For reasons I could never quite determine, Adam’s Children develop a religious mystery that surrounded their father figure – one that would shroud itself in further duality in the future (especially when the Age of Mankind came to dominate the world). The long story short is that Adam was acknowledged as their progenitor, but his role in their people’s story was both diminished and complex. As far as I could ever figure out, Adam was not held to be a god. He was viewed as more of a ‘tool’ – used by their god Alyssa – to bring forth her chosen people. As such Adam was held in a position of respect, but not worship. Furthermore (especially after the flaws of humanity became apparent), the Atlanteans and Amorosi both developed a kind of sadness about their nature – acknowledging their own flaws as attributed to the fact that Adam, the flawed human, was the father of their race. [This de facto self-hatred further developed into the Atlanteans and Amorosi eventual hatred for humanity, but that’s a tale a long way off yet].
The Scrolls of Lemuria are filled with countless tales of the accomplishments of the Mylars, the Atlanteans, and the Amorosi. Over time I’ll share more with you, but for now, this is enough. The bottom line is that all these people were disappointments to me!
Sure I learned a good bit by observing them, and yes I would make sure of that knowledge later to serve my own designs, but the fact remained that all of them were parts of a failed experiment on my part – and that ain’t good.
Was I disappointed that my plans hadn’t amounted to anything yet? Of course.
Was I ready to give up? Not a chance!
While the Children of Mu and Adam/Alyssa’s kids played house, I went back to the drawing board. Give a god a millennia or ten and he can really work wonders. Such was the case for me – I’m not bragging, just being honest. I can’t wait to tell you all about it…
