SECRETS OF READER IMPRESSION

From impossible inventions to ancient mysteries, Atlantis Rising provides plenty of food for thought for serious letter writers.

Publish Plans

If you really want to impress your readers and maybe loosen the government's tight grip on suppressing these inventions, start publishing plans on how to make them. One plan per magazine will definitely convert a few skeptics and some people might actually build working models. You might even get an extra thousand subscribers or more.

You would have to collaborate with the inventors (the ones that are still alive, of course) for the rights. If you do this, I'm begging you to, your magazine could play a big part in making these inventions standard science in the next century...

I am 15 years old, but that doesn't mean I'm naive about the antigravity/free energy field. I know quite a bit about the subject and many others. Unlike many of the inventors listed in your magazine who have discovered these effects in their latter years, I have at this age already set my sights on antigravity and free energy. I will work to give the American people the right to know the truth (that is, if the world doesn't end in 1999)...

Good luck to your magazine, I know it will be successful. I will keep in touch over the years and fight until every family in America has a free energy machine running in their basement. I know I will.

...it would have been nice if there were more specific details of the technologic information in some of the article, exa: at what frequency does water separate using sound waves? I've been studying this type of knowledge for the past ten years and have had some interesting advancements in my own research areas.

All your articles fascinate me. In order to follow up on some, could you publish the address of where to write to get a copy of a patent. Perhaps someone would like to write an article on how to get a copy of one.

Jeane Manning tells us she's in the process of developing a newsletter which will answer many of the questions inspired by her article Top 10 Impossible Inventions that Work. As soon as Jeane is ready, we'll tell you how to subscribe.

By the way, we neglected to give proper photo credit to some of the pictures featured with Jeane's article in issue number 4. The photos of Dr. Lambertson and the Russell Coil were taken by Toby Grotz of the Institute of New Energy. Our apologies. ED.

Sitchinism

Thank you so very much for sending me the copy of Atlantis Rising. As soon as I saw Zecharia Sitchin's name I was happy and knew this was a magazine I would be wanting to subscribe to. Much success for your great magazine and I am grateful for your letting me know about it.

Mr. Sitchin is a very fine gentleman and has converted me into an unabashed Sitchinite. I have corresponded with this busy man many times and he always answers and corrects my misperceptions.

I was very pleased to read Zecharia Sitchin's letter in Issue No. 4, commenting on my article Hollywood and the Star Gods of Ancient Egypt, which appeared in Issue No. 3. I believe that Mr. Sitchin is an authentic trailblazer in a new area of inquiry that will ultimately explain who we are as a race, and why we are here.

I would like to respond to his two criticisms of the article, both of which are very understandable misreadings, just to set the record straight. 1) I didn't mean to convey the impression that the movie Stargate preceded his writings. This impression was simply due to an unfortunate omission of the dates of his books, which go back to 1976. 2) Regarding his belief that I stated that he never mentioned Robert Bauval in his books, this misreading was due to my tortuous sentence construction. The sentence in question reads, Sitchin never mentioned him (and Bauval never mentions Sitchin) but Bauval points out that famous clairvoyant Edgar Cayce.... The him that I was referring to here was Edgar Cayce, who, of course, preceded Sitchin by about 30 years. In this regard, it would be interesting to know how Mr. Sitchin regards the Cayce material re: Egypt and ancient civilizations.

Ancient Mysteries

I loved the last two issues. I am an archaeology student who is interested in non-destructive archaeology, as in electronics & computers to look below the surface of the ground to find artifacts, etc. I am also interested in Dr. Robert Schoch's work and glad you feature him.

I read your article on Graham Hancock and noted his thought that the door in the small shaft from the Queen's chamber of the Great Pyramid leads to the Hall of Records.

In the Gantenbrink's documentary, on probing of the shafts, the robot traveled up the shaft and passed from an area of yellowish light gray stone to an area composed of smoother white limestone, which was also slightly offset from the previous part of the shaft, this white limestone shaft ended in a small door.

My thought is that the shaft and the shaft on the opposite side of the Queen's chamber, also leading up and out, were originally aligned (with) stars and open at the ends as do the King's chamber shafts.

It's my thought that the original pyramid was smaller and that earth changes misaligned the star shafts and that they were closed off and the pyramid was refaced and built to introduce new star shafts which opened into the added on King's chamber.

My evidence being the bright white limestone which seems to match that which faced the pyramid, why bury it under so much yellow gray stone?

And more importantly, if you looked at Gantenbrink's diagrams showing all internal chambers and shafts in the pyramid, you could see the Queen's chamber shafts ended equidistant from the Queen's chamber. Two lines drawn from the base of the pyramid, following the same slope as the outer pyramid walls and touching the ends of the Queen's chamber shafts, gives you a diagram of a smaller pyramid centered on the Queen's chamber.

A pyramid within the pyramid. Another thing that no one seems to have noticed is that the traditional story of who built the pyramids has a lost fact in it. The first two pyramids were built by brothers, the third by the first brother's son. A reflection of the Osiris, Set and Horus story?

...I have a theory about that enormous stone block in Lebanon. It was neither moved nor lifted. It was poured! That's right, poured, a bucket full at a time and allowed to harden. Then it was polished and left for the public to wonder at.

Regarding the Ancient Atlantean Pyramid Of Records it has been said to be located between the post-flood Giza Sphinx or Isis Temple and the post-flood Giza Sphinx, which, according to E. Cayce was a memorial to Queen Isis. The main purpose of the post-flood Giza Sphinx appears to have been the keeping of the once-secret location of The (pre-flood) Pyramid of Records, which Cayce indicated was built before the flood to ensure the ancient history of Atlantis and advanced Atlantean science and cultural artifacts (were preserved). E. Cayce explained that Hermes, the architect of the post-flood Great Initiation Pyramid, is also the builder of the older PreFlood Atlantean Record Pyramid. R. Bauval dates for certain younger above-surface Giza monuments at 10,500 B.C. is significant in that regard.

Pros & Cons

My partner of 13 years in marriage & business, who is admittedly a red-neck beer drinking volunteer fireman and ambulance driver, Vietnam War veteran, heavy smoker (Camels) who said to me, I like these things they put on TV about the pyramids...but they don't do enough of them....

And then my friend gave me a copy of the magazine. So send him a subscription on me!

Thanks! I need all the help I can get!

I was surprised and very pleased to receive a copy of Atlantis Rising in the mail here in Saudi Arabia...

The best thing I can say about your magazine is that I actually read it cover to cover. I hope to see more articles such as the Hall of Records article. Other magazines in your genre (I hate that word), FATE in particular, are sorely lacking in this. I hope also to see more UFO material, especially about abduction research and current hot spots....

A little constructive criticism: At least as far as I'm concerned, the less astrology the better. I enjoy magazine such as yours because I feel that most of the stuff in them could possibly have some truth to it. Astrology does not. It's bunk and has no place in serious magazines... One more thing, please don't let the dark side of the force take over... By this I mean conspiracy baloney with its anti-Semitic, right wing, militia undertones... Keep your magazine upbeat and positive.

Atlantis Rising came to my address, addressed to a person who rented a studio from me two or three years ago...

I shamelessly read every word... I did not forward it because I spent plenty of stamps over the past months getting his mail to him.

(The magazine) is of such impeccable disciplined writing...

There is no way to fully tell you and your staff my feeling of excitement and hope over this publishing effort. The caliber of journalism is evident and makes me proud of you.

We've started to get a few orders from our advertisement with you...We plan to keep advertising and soon we hope to increase the size of our ad.

I also wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your publication. When it arrives at my office, it's like a breath of fresh air and adventure all wrapped up together. I feel your publication is ultimately destined to be in the top 10 New Age publications on the planet. Keep up the great work.

No Mumbo-Jumbo

A neighbor loaned me a copy of #3 of Atlantis Rising and after merely glancing at it, considered it another mystical mag, ie. Fate (which I've read once in a great while for many years), but never had much regard for it; a couple of weeks later my neighbor loaned me #4, and I READ EVERY BIT OF IT!

I was fascinated that here at last, (??) was a magazine that dealt with current theory as well as occult history, and didn't deal with any mystical mumbo-jumbo.

I'll give it a chance, hoping you maintain the same high quality of articles.
