There are many theories about what Atlanteans were like. We do not know that their hierarchy basically consisted of two classes: wealthy citizens and slaves. Of course they had their rulers and various councils of elders and advisors, but these were included in the class of “citizens”, most of whom were fairly wealthy, probably in large part due to the fact that there was also a slave class. Interestingly enough, slaves were treated well and respected for their talents - in fact, by today’s standards, they would be called “middle class” - and some even attained wealth in large degrees. Atlantis was a very indulgent civilization, and almost everyone shared its bounty.

People on the lost continents had life spans of 800 years (sounds like Methuselah in the bible) and were 8 to 12 feet tall (the Bible also speaks of giants, in Chapter 6 of Genesis). We might think that these “giants” were only fantasy, but archaeologist were shocked when more than a dozen skeletons measuring 8 to 12 feet tall were found in various locations throughout the world. The diaries of Spanish conquistadors also describe blond-haired giants 8-12 feet tall running around in the Andes during the conquest of the Incas.

Atlanteans’ love for the arts and culture was paramount in their lives, but so was technology - the pursuit of which led to their downfall when it got out of control. The lost continent’s civilians started out pursuing creative endeavors such as philosophy, writing, sculpting, and painting, but they gradually become more technocratic and very commercialized. (on this planet right now, I see a similar situation in that we have both the spiritual faction, which goes along with aesthetics, and highly commercial money-making technocrats)…

…Many theorists (including Granma Ada and myself) believe that Atlantis was a colony of extraterrestrials - some believe they came from the Lyrian star system, while Francine says that it was Andromeda. This possibly explains why Atlanteans could levitate. And perhaps because they were from another planet, that is how they knew how to use Earth’s gravitational fields. They had sky cars, nuclear-powered vehicles, and machines that cooled or warmed entire cities. They knew so much bout the atmosphere that they were able to control it with powerful ionized machines, and they were the ones who constructed the portal in the Bermuda Triangle.

They also had some control over weather, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, although at the time of their existence, our planet was even more violent in nature than it is today. This control over weather contributed greatly to the Atlantean economy by helping to produce bumper crops that would put our puny vegetables to shame. In addition, their preservation of food was stunning: While under hypnotic regression, one of my clients said that they “saw” the Atlanteans used a type of alum that would preserve food for years and never destroy its taste.

Atlanteans have breathtaking gardens and waterways, almost like a canal system, which went through and around many of their cities. Their homes and public buildings were spectacular in their beauty: Many lived in pyramid-type structures; in fact, the Atlanteans made pyramids the focal point of their civilization. My grandmother and I both intuited that some of their pyramids were holistic center, as well as communication hubs that were used as relay or phone stations form which people could send and receive messages instantly. These structures could be built speedily, using a type of anti gravitational rod, and the technology was carried over to ancient Egypt and other cultures and then lost. Most Atlantean architecture contained many columns and aches, designs that were also embraced by the Greeks and Romans.

People on the lost continent didn’t bury their dead; instead they cremated them, using a type of laser energy focused through crystals. They built large pyramids for healing, again using crystals. Their healing centers had what we might call a massage table today, on which the ill person would lie down, and multiple crystals would be focused on him or her to employ light and color therapy, laser surgery, and magnetic energy. Healing technicians (doctors) would come in with different types of ointment and balms or drugs, depending upon the treatment needed, and use the crystals in the healing process.

Atlanteans also had a type of machine for the rejuvenation of the body that employed electromagnetic energy through crystals, which helped in life extension…and, as I stated, life spans in Atlantis were usually very long. In addition, they used this machine for the diagnosis of maladies, because the person would go into a type of chamber and the machine would “read” the person’s aura, almost doing a magnetic X-ray (but more sophisticated than an MRI) that provided comprehensive pictures of the body.

Artificial organs were used for transplants when needed, but toward the end, when their civilization became more corrupt, Atlanteans began to experiment with animals and humans in bizarre and dangerous ways, even to the point of trying to make man-beast combinations. Francine says that many of our mythological creatures, such as the Satyr or the Minotaur, derived from stories of these experiments. It started with just trying to make different creatures out of two distinct species, but deteriorated from there.

As time progressed, it seems that the Atlanteans used their technology to attain more power, and not just for healing and staying young. As in all things great and small, greed became its own master - so they began to use crystals to enhance their technology and barter more for bigger and better things. It seems that the power of the crystal was then used for destructive purposes such as wiping out groups of people who didn’t please the ruling classes. (Maybe these are the flying machines described in Sanskrit texts, with death rays that wreaked havoc and destroyed thousands of people)….
