This is an update for an old discussion . I can't bring the discussion , or the man's name up , but in a talk about the name/term 'Atlantis' was called by different peoples thruout history , I had said that , currently , among the Mexican folks , some have the idea that the southern US was 'their ancient homeland of ' Aztlan ' , and that that term doesn't mean the southern US . ; the actual location of Atlantis still being searched for . Further along I'd said that a book I read had the term as a people's translation of ' Atlantis ' , but couldn't rem'ber the name of the author . Last nite , on YouTube , I watched " The Advanced Technology of Atlantis - Secret Star Mappers of The Lost World " ( Spark ) . One of the many speakers was David Childress ( ' Technologies of The Gods ' ) whose name is recognizable , being among the many speakers investigating old tech , & languages origins . The name ' Atlan ' was brought up in this documentary , and was said to have been another of the names the tribes of this continent used to describe a former ' ideal ' world . I hope the fellow I was speaking with , and any others so interested , sees this Post and can add a bit of info to his/their own inquiries . Name & places have often been adapted by the many folks who encounter a new - or different - culture , it should come as no surprise that this is common enough that we can see thru the confusion & go for the roots and see the prevalent commonality of many names & places thruout history. The ancient Atlantis must indeed have been quite the showpiece of an advanced civilization for it to be the ideal it is reputed to have been , for most of the ancient peoples thruout the world to uphold its memory ! The documentary also shared some interesting hints that might elude to the Middle Eastern civilization's names of their god's practices & even their names , as revealed in the Annunaki Codes & so on . I hope this is an aid for those interested . ( And sorry it took so long to come to light ! )
