It is truly scandalous that today, when science and technology have advanced to the highest degree, a comparative study of the cultures of the world is not attempted. Many known facts from the past and others that have come recently, establish that civilization began in the Aegean region long ago and spread in the form of religion throughout the known world. One piece of evidence is the “myth” of Atlantis, which was a reality. Atlantis paid for its arrogance and this trend continues in the Atlantic superpower today. Especially today, Mr. Trump committed a grave insult with the warm welcome of the Turkish arch-criminal leader Erdogan. Plato writes in Critias: “There are preceding sentences that extol the civilization of Atlantis and the high level of morality of the inhabitants. “But when the divine power began to recede within them and the human began to prevail, then they were no longer worthy to face their wealth. and they degenerated and appeared to anyone who had the power to recognize it as humble, because they destroyed everything that was worth esteeming. But to others who did not have the ability to see all this, they appeared brilliant and powerful precisely at that time when they possessed an unjustly acquired power and unjust gains. But the god of gods Zeus, who rules according to the laws and sees everything and judges correctly when he saw such a depravity of such a race, decided to impose his punishment to help it recover: So he called a council of all the gods and said.. “Unfortunately, the rest has been lost. It would be useful for the current leaders of America to avoid the arrogance of the Atlanteans, which was the cause of their destruction. Of course, not everyone was lost and certainly those who were saved would have moved to the eastern coast of the American continent. Here I will make a digression into the worship of the ancient Pelasgians, which was not written down, nor did it become known, but traces of it as a kind of common culture took root in all parts of the Earth. They say that it is the cult of Orpheus which was spread in the Orphic language by the inspirer of Orpheus. The Argonaut expedition of Orpheus is well known, through which he spread his cult. Prominent Athenians (Alcibiades, Socrates, Aristotle, Pythagoras, etc.) were accused of violating the rules of this cult and almost paid with their lives for the suspicion that they had shared the secrets of the Orphic cult with their works. Because the writings of the Greek philosophers have been lost, the only information we have about it is that of the Christian philosophers (Clement, Arnobius and Tertullian). They speak of a type of secret cult which was performed in all nations in the same way. Athan Stagiritis in his book “Ogygia” writes: [The Caribbeans of America and the inhabitants of Peru and Mexico had this cult before the Spanish invaded there, while in China, Japan and elsewhere in Asia, it has survived since time immemorial. Hence they said that this cult descended from Heaven everywhere, and for this reason it was done secretly, because it came secretly. This is the beauty of Heaven, the regular movement of the heavenly bodies, the beneficence of the atmosphere and all such things, inspired in them also and everywhere the idea of a providential and loving father of the world, whom they named God, or Nature, ignoring who he was. Hence they worshipped him as a mystery in secret, mixing in a little with many other moral, political and public-benefit inventions, in proportion to the culture of each nation”](Ogygia vol. C, p. 348, ed. 1815 Athan. Stagiritis, Nea Skepsis) From the above and the study of the Orphic cult, it is concluded that thousands of years before the Egyptians, the Chaldeans, the Babylonians, the Phoenicians and other peoples of the East appeared, the Orphics, as proven by the texts they bequeathed to us, had formulated and spread throughout the world the theories about the Universe, about Nature. About Life, about Monotheism, etc. No other people could then formulate the Hymns of Orpheus and spread them to the world. Now one can explain how Greek: geographical names and such of persons, words and roots of the Greek language, the worship of one God, works and Greek symbols such as, for example, Swede crosses. Meanders, Medusas, temples, altars, inscriptions, tombs and the worship of our gods, even if differentiated, nuggets of our culture, the nomenclature of the stars, medicine, etc. The Christian philosophers themselves reveal this to us. An invisible Greek cultural Light covered the world as if by magic and brought it out of primitivism. The Atlanteans had the cult of Zeus, they violated it due to arrogance and were destroyed.
I accidentally came across a table of world civilizations from FOCUS. It starts from 2,000 BC with the Aegean Peoples and the Minoans of the first Minoan period but also states the assumption that “their civilization had Egyptian influences” But have they suffered from amnesia and do not mention the Orphic cult which is lost in the depths of thousands of years? Such uneducated, unhistorical, arrogant leaders who put money above all else have brought humanity to the brink of nuclear and environmental disaster (25/9/25)
