Ea To Enigorio and Enigohatgea

Ea

In Sumerian mythology, he was the Lord of the Waters, the sea-god who presented the secrets of a high civilization to the early inhabitants of Mesopotamia following a great flood. The Babylonians knew him as Oannes. Ea’s Atlantean identity is confirmed by his portrayal on a cylinder seal in which he bids farewell to a central, Atlas-like figure, probably Enlil.
In the Babylonian version of the Great Deluge, Ea warns Utnapishtim, the flood hero, by telling him, “Oh, reed hut, reed hut! Oh, wall, wall! Oh, reed hut, listen!”
In the North American Pima deluge story, the flood hero survived by enclosing himself in a reed tube. The Navajo version recounts that the survivors made their escape through a giant reed. Implications of these folk memories on behalf of the Atlantean catastrophe are unmistakable.

Ehecatl

In the Aztec calendar, the second “Sun,” or World Age, was terminated by a global disaster, 4-Ehecatl, or “Windstorm,” possibly a characterization of air blasts caused by meteors exploding before they could impact the Earth. Ehecatl is the most overtly Atlantean version of the Feathered Serpent, because he was portrayed in sacred art as a man supporting the sky on his shoulders, like Atlas. Temples dedicated to Ehecatl, such as his structure at the very center of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital, were invariably composed of circular walls, often in red, white, and black stones or paint—the same configuration and colors Plato said typified Atlantean building styles.

Ekadzati

The brilliant Queen of Shambhala, in ancient, pre-Buddhist Tibet, where she and her people were descendants of immigrants from Lemuria. According to chronologer Neil Zimmerer, they wanted to return after the first of several natural disasters failed to destroy their Pacific homeland, but she eventually convinced them that Lemuria was doomed.

Elasippos

The Atlantean king of what is now Portugal. Lisbon’s Castel de San Jorge was built atop a fortified city the Romans took from its Celtic defenders. Before its Lusitanian occupation, it served as a protected trading center with the Phoenicians. They called it Alis Ubo, or “Calm Roadstead,” a reference to its felicitous harbor. Lisbon’s Roman designation, Felicita Julia, carried a similar implication. But its original name was Olisipo (“Walled Town”), which bears a striking resemblance to the Atlantean Elasippos (in Geographical Sketches, by Strabo the Greek historian, circa 20 b.c.). The descent from Elasippos to Olisipo to Lisboa (Lisbon) is apparent.

Electra

An Atlantis, the mother of Dardanus, founder of Trojan civilization. The myth is in common with those of her sisters, the Pleiades, in that they were mothers of culture-creators, who restarted civilization after the Great Flood. Interestingly, “Electra” means “amber,” a medium for ornamentation much prized in the ancient world, but available from only two major sources: the shores of the Baltic Sea, largely from what is now Lithuania, and the Atlantic islands of the Azores, Madeiras, and Canaries. Because Atlas has never been associated with the north, Electra’s amber name and the Atlantic source for the mineral combine to reaffirm her Atlantean provenance.

Ele’na

“Land of the Star (or Gift),” one of three versions of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Atlantis. (See Numinor)

Elephants

According to the Kritias, there were “numerous elephants” on the island of Atlantis. Later, when describing the palace of the king, Plato writes that the entire ceiling of the structure’s meeting hall was made of sculpted ivory. His brief but important mention of the creature simultaneously establishes the veracity of his narrative and confirms the near-Atlantic location of the sunken kingdom. A 1967 issue of Science magazine reported the discovery of elephant teeth from the Atlantic Continental Shelf running 200 to 300 miles off the Portuguese coast.
Multiple specimens were recovered from at least 40 different underwater sites along the Azore-Gibraltar Ridge, sometimes at depths of only 360 feet. The tusks were taken from submerged shorelines, peat deposits, sandbanks caused by surface waves crashing against ancient, long submerged beach-lines and depressions which formerly contained freshwater lagoons. These features defined the area as formerly dry land standing above sea level. The Science writer concluded, “Evidently, elephants and other large mammals ranged this region during the glacial stage of low sea level at least 25,000 years ago.”
Moreover, African elephants are known to have inhabited the northwestern coastal areas of present-day Morocco, fronting the position of Atlantis, and at the junction of a vanished land bridge leading out into the ocean, as late as the 12th century b.c., if not more recently. Homer, too, wrote that the Atlanteans worked in great quantities of ivory, fashioning ornately carved ceilings from this precious medium. The presence of a native population of elephants on the island of Atlantis would have been a ready source for the material.
These two points in the Kritias—the existence of elephants in Atlantis and the Atlanteans’ generous use of ivory—form internal evidence for herds of such animals which have been additionally confirmed by deep-sea finds. Unless he read it in an authentic document describing Atlantis, Plato could never have guessed that elephants once inhabited an area of the world presently covered by the ocean, hundreds of miles from the nearest landfall.

Elianus

A second-century Greek naturalist, who recounted in Topic XV of his Historia Naturalis that the rulers of Atlantis dressed to show their origins from the sea-god Poseidon. Like all other works by Elianus lost with the fall of classical civilization, Historia Naturalis survives only in quoted fragments.

El-Khadir

In Muslim legends, a pre-Islamic figure referred to as the “Old Man of the Sea,” a survivor of the Great Flood. Edgerton Sykes wrote that El-Khadir was previously known as Hasisatra, a derivation of the Sumerian deluge hero.

Elmeur

According to Edgar Cayce, an Atlantean prince who lived at a time when the Law of One cult was being formed. “Elmeur” suggests a phonetic variant of Evenor, an early Atlantean mentioned in Plato’s account, Kritias.

Elohi-Mona

Cherokee oral tradition tells of a group of five Atlantic islands known collectively as Elohi-Mona, from which their sinful ancestors arrived on the shores of North America following a world-class conflagration eventually extinguished by the Great Flood.
In Edgar Cayce’s version of Atlantis, he likewise spoke of five islands lost during the second Atlantean catastrophe. The number of islands may have served at least partially as the basis for Plato’s statement in the Kritias that 5 was a sacred numeral revered in Atlantis.
Elohi-Mona is remarkably similar to Elohim, or “gods,” from the singular eloh, found in the Old Testament. The Cherokee Elohi-Mona and Hebrew Elohim appear to have derived from a common source in Atlantis.

Endora

An Atlantis, one of seven Hyades by the sea-goddess Aethra. These daughters of Atlas are best understood as names for cities or territories directly controlled by Atlantis. Endora is the name of a particular place in the Atlantean sphere of influence, although it can no longer be associated with any known location. When their myth tells us that the Hyades and Pleiades were transformed into stars and constellations, we are being informed by way of poetic metaphor that they died, but their spirits live in heaven. As such, they enshrine the memory of the Atlantis Empire and its various cities and provinces, from which survivors arrived in new lands, just as the Hyades’ and Pleiades’ offspring escape a Great Flood to found new kingdoms.

Enigorio and Enigohatgea

Divine twins in the Iroquois creation story, brothers of a virgin birth, they were survivors in North America after all other life had been wiped out by a worldwide deluge. The flood was swallowed by a Great Frog, which Enigorio killed to release its waters, creating peaceful lakes and rivers. In the Huron version, the brothers are known as Tsentsa and Tawiscara. According to Plato, the first rulers of Atlantis were likewise divine twins.
