Book Description
The Red-Haired GiantsAtlantis in North America “And the Gods ruled from Akakor. They ruled over men and earth with ships faster than birds' flight, ships that reached their goal without sails or oars and by night as well as by day. They had magic stones to look into the distance so that they could see cities, rivers, hills and lakes. Whatever happened on earth or in the sky was reflected in the stones. They had great knowledge and could suspend the heaviest stones, fling lightning or melt rocks.” Prior to the upcoming cataclysms, the ancient gods left earth for safer places. According to Tatunca Nara, “After the former Masters left in the year 'Zero', a global catastrophe occurred. Before leaving, they gave the sacred knowledge to their earthbound offspring to protect until their return. These people were known as the “Sacred Record Keepers”. The pre-diluvium patriarchs took shelter in underground cities, underground tunnel systems and the high mountains above flood level. When the star visitors returned from the heavens, these grateful patriarchs gave them their loyalty and deified them as gods. In her book, The Secret Doctrine, H. P. Blavatsky links Noah to Enoch, describing the family of Noah as bearing the appellations of the giant Titans and Atlanteans. In ancient times the world was seen as two parts with one part mirroring the other. The lands of the east, where the sun rose, were known as the Upper World. Their inhabitants were known as the Talans. The lands of the west, where the sun set, were called the Lower or Under World. North America, known as Atala or Atalan was ruled by the Nagas, a class of semi divine beings. The Mahabharata describes them as a handsome race who could either take on the form of human or serpentine. They were not only a civilized people, but a maritime power. Indian myths and legends mention that many deities (exalted men) visited the western land of Atalan. One of these dignitaries was Vishnu who went there to help the survivors rehabilitate themselves from the ravages of a flood that nearly destroyed Atlantis. The Toltec and Aztecs called Vishnu 'Kukulkan or Quetzalcoatl'; the Mayans called him Kukulkan, and the Inca called him Guculmatz. Evidence strongly supports that races of Atlantean giants lived in North America and were the advent of the smaller races of modern men and women. As thousands of earthen burial mounds attest, constant war against one another caused their numbers to diminish and the smaller, but more numerous races eventually subjugated them."The Red-Haired Giants: Atlantis in North America" tells the story of the red-haired giants fall from grace and their eventual extermination.
