The Colonization of Atlantis

Atlantis Chapter 5

In this chapter, we will follow the trail of the Atlanteans from the Tower of Babel to Canaan to the Outer Continent.

Returning to the story of the Sidonians, we found some evidence that the unipolar Tower of Babel project was dispersed by the confusion of languages, combined with a local volcanic eruption and earthquake.  This was recorded by Pompeius Trogus, who wrote about the origins of the people of Tyre and Sidon. (Justinus, Book 18)

The nation of the Tyrians was founded by the Phoenicians, who, suffering from an earthquake, and abandoning their country, settled at first near the Syrian lake, and afterward on the coast near the sea, where they built a city, which, from the abundance of fish, they named Sidon, for so the Phoenicians call a fish in their language. 

This account of the colonization of Palestine by the Sidonians nearly perfectly matches the archeology of the Natufian Culture, which was part of the Prepottery Neolithic Era.  The “Syrian Lake” where they first settled may have been either the Sea of Galilee or an older lake, now dried up, near the Syrian city of Homs in the Orontes River valley. Some of those original settlements have been found by archeologists as part of the Prepottery Neolithic A culture in Palestine and Syria.
