Archimedes & Solon of Athens THE LOST CIVILIZATION OF ATLANTIS (2nd Edition)

The Happy Country of the Atlanteans

Solon the Athenian:

Twenty thousand years before your present era, the country of Atlantis enjoyed a most exceptional civilization. For this reason I have named the present work “The happy country of the Atlanteans”

Both I myself and other famous sages of History led a previous existence as citizens of Atlantis. I preceded brother Archimedes by a long time. I will not speak about myself, but will focus only on the description of that civilization, so as to give you a vague idea of the world as it was then. It was the Lord’s choice – the choosing, that is, of the Highest Principle of the Whole Cosmos – that we should be the elected people in virtue of psycho-spiritual advancement.

The capital of Atlantis was the Atlantean Gate. We possessed enormous Centers of Instruction. Our country was under no threat from enemies, because the inhabitants of other countries were so backward that they feared to enter our territories, which were completely surrounded by a wall of death-dealing rays. Besides, we had no contact with any of the peoples of that time.

The distribution of riches was just. If a citizen for various reasons was unable to rise in the world, the Law conferred the right on the State to ascertain what it was that prevented an increase in his worldly goods, and then to assist him as a member of the great body of the State. Because of this there were no poor in my day. Everybody worked and received the good things with which Nature endowed man. Everybody was concerned for the individual, and the individual, without the slightest oppression on the part of the State, sacrificed himself for the common good.

My Laws were inspired by the Divine Principle. All that time, however, we did not know the nature of that Principle. Yet the initiated were continually in contact with Spirits who guided them in their holy work.
