Atla-n-tis, the legendary continent which almost completely disappeared in 12th century b.C. in the Indian Ocean is also called Mauritia....

The mythical continent which almost disappeared around 1200 b.C., and was the original home to the Sea People who invaded Egypt and the kingdoms of the Mediterranean Sea according to the Instituto Varsovienne - was called Mauritia.  
Atlantida, the earth of the Atla-s like creatures who lived on the Pacific Ocean coast of both North and South America. They were responsible for construction of the first pyramids (coastal areas of Chile and Peru) and their advanced technology were transported to Africa and Asia first. From islands of Japon and Western Africa they colonized the rest of the continents, finally reaching Europe.
When Plato spoke of the events which led to the disappearance of the Atlantic about a 1000 years before him, he was referring to the aftermath of the cataclysm which has mobilize the survivors of the gigantic floods and tsunamis the land of Amer-ians who came from todays North and South America.

Mauritia (Lemuria) was hypothesized as a land bridge, now sunken, which would account for certain discontinuities in biogeography.

Between 190,000 - 60,000 years ago two groups of survivors of the gigantic tsunami which swept continental coasts of the Pacific Ocean, existed:


1.) the Eastern group which crossed Patagonia (Chilean/Argentina), sailed across the ocean and settled the Atlantic coast of Africa (1), but did not stop there until  finally they colonized the Mauritia, creating there the powerful civilization. Subsequently, from Mauritia they colonized all coasts of the Indian Ocean and were responsible for creation of the Indus Valley and Babylonian cultures. Their advanced technology and  the writing system allowed them to invade the portions of Asia and Egypt after 1200 a.C. and within 600 years they blended into the existing populations. 

2.) the Western group which from the Eastern Island travelled through the remaining Oceania islands to Japan first, then through Western Siberia to the Altai mountains in Siberia where the remains of the Denisova hominin were found. 




Mauritia was a Precambrian microcontinent that was situated between India and Madagascar until their separation about 70 million years ago. Mauritia separated itself from Indian subcontinent about 60 million years ago and further fragmented into a ribbon-like structure as the mid-ocean ridge jumped several times. The jumps of the mid-ocean ridge are thought to have been caused of its interaction with the Réunion hotspot as it passed under the West margin of the Indian continent and then under Mauritia. Presently the fragments of Mauritia include Laccadives–Maldives–Chagos Ridge, Nazareth Bank, Saya de Malha Bank, Hawkins Bank, islands of Réunion and Mauritius, where the continual crust is buried under basaltic lavas of the Réunion hotspot.

notes: 
(1) In 1870 biologist Ernst Haeckel stated that Mauritia/Lemuria could be the ancestral home of mankind ; doing so he shifted the scope of geology/zoogeography theory into the realm of the contemporary issue of the origin of man, ensuring the theory's popularity outside of the framework of the scientific community

The Twenty Four Histories


The Twenty-Four Histories (Chinese二十四史pinyinÈrshísì ShǐWade–GilesErh-shih-szu shih), also known as the Orthodox Histories (Chinese正史pinyinZhèngshǐ), are the Chinese official historical books covering a period from 3000 BC to the Ming dynasty in the 17th century.

The Han dynasty official Sima Qian established many of the conventions of the genre, but the form was not fixed until much later. Starting with the Tang dynasty, each dynasty established an official office to write the history of its predecessor using official court records. As fixed and edited in the Qing dynasty, the whole set contains 3213 volumes and about 40 million words. It is considered one of the most important sources on Chinese history and culture.[1]

The title "Twenty-Four Histories" dates from 1775 which was the 40th year in the reign of the Qianlong Emperor. This was when the last volume, the History of Ming was reworked and a complete set of the histories produced.

These works were begun by one historian and completed by an heir, usually of the next generation.

The Staff God, the god of the Chavin de Huantar, Peru and Tiwanaku, Bolivia most likely is the Greek mortal/demi-god Triptolemus according to the Instituto Varsovienne

The identity of the Staff God, the god who was venerated in the ceremonial center of the Chavin de Huantar, Peru and also was depicted on the Gate of Sun in Tiwanaku, Bolivia ceremonial center, as well he was portrayed in the Raimondi´s Stella as the holder of two scepters (images 1 & 2), presented real mystery to archeologists and anthropologists for over 100 year until now.


Based on oral local stories, Viracocha appears first in the chronic of Juan de Betanzos,  Suma y narración de los incas (1550) as the teacher of agriculture and civilization to the tribes living around the Lake Titicaca.  Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa in his chronicle of 1572 affirms that according to the natives Viracocha, at the time of his departure towards the western direction from the Puertoviejo, Peru   announced that they should not follow false prophets since he would soon send his messengers back. When Spaniards returned to the coast of Peru, they thought that he was returning to them after a long wait. 

He has been identified as the Greek mortal Triptolemus (also Triptolemos) by the Institute Varsovienne, after painstaking study and trips to Bolivia, Peru, Greece and important museum collections in the world

According to one version of the Greek mythology, his parents were Oceanus and Gaia, the most important chthonic gods residing in the Mount Olympus (also identified with the Mount Meru, in the IV´s study); however other later accounts often diminish his noble heritage, and he often was linked with other parentage.

He was taught the art of agriculture by Demeter, the Greek goddess of agriculture, grain and bread, whose residence was the Mount Olympus (in Greek version, but it is the Mount Meru in the original version of the myth and that is why he originated from the coastal area of the Peruvian Pacific Ocean ) according to mythology ´Triptolemus she supplied with seed—corn, a wooden plough, and a chariot drawn by serpents; and sent him all over the world to teach mankind the art of agriculture´(R. Graves) .  For his work in spreading the art of agriculture he gained a status of the Demi-god in Greece, the title of Viracocha in Peru, and the God of in Bolivia according to many studies undertaken during the last century.


In South America he is also known as the Staff God (or Viracocha by Incas) and has been portrayed in the Gate of Sun in Tiwanaku, Bolivia (image 3):



He left South America for Africa, traveled to Elefsina, Greece, where he participated in the Eleusinian Mysteries.


Triptolemus was portrayed as a beautiful youth with a diadem on his brow. He rode a winged snake-drawn carriage and in his hands were a plate of grain, ears of barley & wheat, and a scepter. He reached lands of Scythians, where the king Lyncos (Lynkus) slew one of his birds/dragons and drove the hero away. Demeter has changed the king into a lynx and has denied the gift of agriculture to Scythians.

One of many stories about Triptolemus is told by Pausanias, Description of Greece 7. 18. 2 :

"When Triptolemos came from Attika, he [Eumelos of Patrai (Patrae) in Akhaia (Achaea)] received from him cultivated corn, and, learning how to found a city, named it Aroe from the tilling of the soil. It is said that Triptolemos once fell asleep, and that then Antheias, the son of Eumelos, yoked the Drakones (Dragons) to the car of Triptolemos and tried to sow the seed himself. But Antheias fell off the car and was killed, and so Triptolemos and Eumelos together founded a city, and called it Antheia after the son of Eumelos."

Parque Nacional da Serra da Capivara - WikiParques

A Serra da Capivara representa um dos mais importantes patrimônios culturais pré-históricos. Na UC, encontra-se uma grande concentração de sítios arqueológicos com pinturas rupestres. Os vestígios humanos remontam a 60 mil anos. Estão cadastrados 912 sítios, dos quais 657 apresentam pinturas rupestres.

Pelo seu valor histórico e cultural, o Parque foi declarado em 1991 Patrimônio Cultural da Humanidade pela UNESCO.

Há 70 milhões de anos, a região era coberta pelo mar, segundo pesquisas científicas. Grandes animais rondavam em manadas de mastodontes, super-lhamas e bichos-preguiça chegavam a ter 8 metros de altura, segundo a arqueóloga Niède Guidon.

Encontrou-se no sítio arqueológico Boqueirão da Pedra Furada, vestígios do homo sapiens que datam de 50 mil anos – o que levantou a discussão sobre a teoria arqueológica sobre a vinda do homem do continente americano que teria saído da Ásia e atravessado a pé o estreito de Behring, entre 12 e 15 mil anos atrás.

A região foi ocupada por caçadores-coletores e agricultores ceramistas.Parque Nacional da Serra da Capivara - WikiParques

....some of the Northern Chile´s geoglyphs are at least 3,000 years old..Geoglifos y tráfico prehispánico de caravanas de llamas en el Desierto de Atacama (Norte de Chile) Nunez, Briones, Standen





En efecto, la presencia en cerro Mono de una
tumba datada a los 3.110 + 40 años a.p., demostra-
ría que, antes de los geoglifos locales, ya existían
rutas iniciadas por grupos costeros. Estos se des-
plazaban hacia enclaves de los bosques del Tama-
rugal y oasis aledaños, tras la explotación comple-
mentaria de madera, alimentos e oasis, vegetales
para artesanías y material lítico.
