( Prof. Arysio Nunes dos Santos, Ph.D. ) ( http://www.atlan.org )[Critias]: Then listen, Socrates, to a tradition which, though strange, is certainly true,

having been attested by Solon, the wisest of the Seven Sages... The city and the citizenswhich you yesterday described to us in fiction, we will now transfer to the world of reality...

Plato, TimaeusWhen a novel idea is first presented, they will say, at first, that it is impossible. Next, they

will minimize its importance. And finally, they will claim it was known since always, andthat others had proclaimed it far earlier.

Alexander von HumboldtIntroduction And Tribute To Edgar Cayce and Other Great ProphetsWe certainly live in exciting times! Be prepared for a change of paradigm,[i] and for the

realization that though crucial, Science does not always have the last word. And this is trueeven when it comes to the correct interpretation of scientific facts. It seems that EdgarCayce was right after all, at least in part. Atlantis rose, and has come to life again, just asthe famous seer prophesied some 50 years ago. Perhaps not exactly in the way Caycesfollowers expected, nor in the actual spot they thought it was going to happen. But theSunken Continent is now rising from the waves, more or less in the exact time predicted bythe seer some 65 years ago. Cayce affirmed, in one of his prophecies, that Atlantis will riseagain, in 1997-1998. And it just did, indeed! Except that at a place so far whollyunexpected, the Far East!

[i]A paradigm is a model of Reality. Here we use the term in the sense of Thomas S. Kuhn (The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, New York, 1962). Kuhn studies scientific theories

from a philosophical point of view which is extremely interesting. By paradigm, Kuhn means the intellectual framework within which scientists think and work at a given epoch. This

includes the social, religious, moral, and technological means at their disposal.

Scientists are ordinary men, and scientific paradigms have philosophical, religious, moral and social implications in their daily lives. So, a scientific discovery requires an intellectual

foundation and, particularly, a scientific community that is willing to accept it not only on scientific grounds but on others as well. A well-known scientific paradigm is the Geocentric

System of Ptolemy. When this system began to be fought by scientists such as Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler and Newton, a majorscientific revolution resulted which had a profound

repercussion in the way we face Reality.

Scientists generally tend to resist changes in the scientific paradigm. This is not because they are opposed to novelty, butbecause they resent being forced to change the framework in which

they are used to work. But when the inconsistencies and anomalies of the old way of thinking become intolerable, a scientificrevolution is the only solution. The realization of Atlantis
