This category contains anything less evidential - poetry and graphic art, trance channeled accounts, past life accounts, or speculation that has no apparent basis in physical evidence. While sympathetic to past life therapy and past life regression, most of the alleged past life material I've read regarding Atlantis has seemed to pursue an agenda of one kind or another. This category is included for the sake of completeness and to classify it separately from what I consider more interesting and verifiable information.

Check out the new bookshop for art related titles.

Look for particular works of art using the museum links

Elgin Marbles - this page is really of little use. The suggestion that the "missing" portion of the Platonic dialogue Critias (which breaks off in the middle of a sentence) was portrayed instead on the Parthenon, and that study of this reveals some sort of universality among the world's major religions other than Islam, as well as the rock band Led Zeppelin is just not too convincing. A lot of beliefs that seem to fit together to the author of the page are related together in a long series of leaps and nonsequiturs. I don't mean to suggest anything negative about the author as a person. He was nice enough to list my link without my asking or even knowing about it, so he's definitely a very reasonable person, and also went to a lot of work to put together a visually striking site.

Atlantis - a short poem, no author given on the page.

A Review Of Michael Scallion's Prophecy from issue 6, Atlantis Rising magazine. This "prophecy" in part refers to the Blue Star, which is identified as the comet Hale-Bopp, which Scallion predicted would reverse the magnetic pole of the Sun, and indirectly the magnetic poles of the Earth and other planets. It didn't happen, nor would it be reasonable to expect it to happen. Similarly, Edgar Cayce predicted that there would be a 40 year period of earthquakes and catastrophe ending in 1998. Of course, his devotees could claim that his warning of the 40 year period of global catastrophe (including the submergence of most of Japan and the western US and Canada) from 1958 to 1998 helped to mobilize support for righteous lifestyles and averted these catastrophes, or suggest that the years given refer to the time after the Crucifiction, making this sometime early in the second decade of the period. At least he had the wisdom to set the period sufficiently distant in the future to assure that he himself would be dead.

History of the Golden Ages by EN-MAR - Steve Omar - I'm not sure what the nickname is about (maybe it's a name from a past life or something) but this particular page has quite a few references to submerged ruins, so it's worth a look.

Atlantean Visions - "I think that it must be very significant - and adds great weight to the evidence of our 'discoveries' about Atlantis - that the vast majority of information available to us through regression, 'channelling' and other esoteric sources paints roughly the same kind of visual picture and uses very similar terminology." Or it could be everyone is just copying from each other.

Past Lives in Atlantis etc - "I remember the fall - explosions, a bright light in the sky, volcanoes, earthquakes, a population that was technologically advanced but for the most part spiritual lost." Sounds like Atlantean visions to me. Or Edgar Cayce.

The Deluge Directly Due to the Return of the 12th Planet in a Progressive Disintegration of the Last Adieu, painting by Sam A Rice - this painting was inspired by Zecharia Sitchin's book The 12th Planet and is really only of interest to me because of the seeming relationship between a universal deluge and some celestial event. Sitchin's readers may also find this to be of interest.
