>>21217420Below is a list of god-kings from the Turin Papyrus, with Manetho's fragmented list alongside:
>The Turin Papyrus Manetho's King-list>Ptah-Hephaestus>Ra-Helios>Shu-Agathodaemon>Seb-Cronos>Osiris-Dionysus>Seth-Typhon>Haroeris (Horus The Elder)-Hercules>Thoth-Hermes>Maat-Athena>Horus-ApolloSo we have ten Auritean (or, Aletean) kings reigning in a "foreign land" during the precise time Plato says ten Atlantean kings reigned in Atlantis. The Turin Papyrus also records the installation of the next series of kings in 9850 B.C. This date is much to close to the date given for the end of Atlantis for the age old ‘ it’s just a coincidence’ excuse we see so often.
Others like The Toltecs of Mexico traced themselves back to a starting-point called Atlan or Aztlan; the Aztecs also claimed to come from Aztlan.
I mentioned my ancestor Sundiatas connection to The Popul Vuh recently, because this text is extremely important. The Popul Vuh speaks of visit paid by three sons of the King of the Quiches to a land "in the east on the shores of the sea whence their fathers had come," from which they brought back amongst other things "a system of writing." (same as Thoth/Dhejuty for the Egyptians).
Till lately it was believed that the use of the papyrus for writing was introduced about the time of Alexander the Great; then Lepsius found the hieroglyphic sign of the papyrus-roll on monuments of the twelfth dynasty; afterward be found the same sign on monuments of the fourth dynasty, which is getting back pretty close to Menes, the protomonarch; and, indeed, little doubt is entertained that the art of writing on papyrus was understood as early as the days of Menes himself.
