The Bolivian Atlantis

Atlantis Chapter 6

This is the sixth chapter of the manuscript of my book, Atlantis.

In the second chapter, I made the case from ancient records that the world was divided into four quarters by the patriarchs after the Flood, and then divided into smaller sections by casting lots.  This division of the world divided South America in half, on a line passing through Cusco and Nazca toward Easter Island.   

According to this theory, to the North of the line was the quarter of Shem, whose descendant Joktan seems to have his name preserved in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, and whose son, Ophir, may be remembered in the name of Manco Opiru of Peru.

Canaan’s portion appears to have been the Southern half of South America.  The lot which fell to Poseidon is described by Plato as a continent that fits the description of South America.  The Bible, the Book of Jubilees, and Plato’s Atlantis seem to agree with each other on this point.

A British researcher named J. M. Allen has published several books making the case that South America was the continent of Atlantis and that the capital city was located at the site of Pampa Aullagas on the Altiplano in modern Bolivia.  His works can be accessed at

I generally agree with Allen’s thesis and credit him as the originator of this important part of the historical theory presented here. However, he probably does not agree with my biblical-historical framework for Atlantis, nor with my geopolitical analysis of the modern Atlanticist axis. He deserves no blame for my historical and political theories.
