The Beginning: At Least For Now - Atlantis (Part one)

~This is for the retired cult member readers mostly.  Most of your beliefs are based on fragmented stories that stem from the period of time this blog will focus on. You've been taught this was something it is not and most of your friends in programs think you're nuts. -in jest-  They have part of the story you do not or were taught to disbelieve. ~ This will be a quick and generalized summary.  The details that are important we will return to another time. (And you will be able to fill in yourself, you've heard all the stories) Let's first see what we can start to remember: Atlantis was the name of a ship.  A space craft, that arrived on Earth.  There are different date ranges, most believe this was about 150,000 years ago.  (Strong second opinion seems to be 300,000 years - doesn't matter - a long time ago.) This craft was the size of a large city and several stories high.  It was home to a very diverse mix of beings.  They had traveled very far, how far exactly is debated.  The occupants came from various planets along the path this craft had taken through the Galaxy.  The majority came from the same planet, which they claimed was destroyed, and also called Atlantis.  (Although this claim was found to be false, the true planet is also debated.) What is known for sure is this craft landed and the beings inside decided to stay, introducing themselves to the various races (mostly humans) living on this planet at the time.  The craft Atlantis would become the city of Atlantis and the culture of Atlantis.  In the end it would again be known as a city.  (many researchers have guessed at this already) These humans would seem primitive to some perhaps, living very simply and off of the land. They were however very in tune with the planet and themselves.  Enjoying several psychic abilities and strong intuition. They could actively communicate with the flora and fauna of this planet.   Full of grace.  This version of humanity enjoyed long happy lives unconcerned with anything else out in space. (Not to say there were no other visitors who used the planet during their time, just that they were unaware of, or have forgotten, or paid little mind to these things) Until Atlantis arrived and changed everything. The beings aboard the craft who we will call Atlantians were very technologically advanced whereas the beings on this planet at the time lived in harmony with nature.  The Atlantians began to replace the common practices of humans with technological substitutes. (They did so without the blessing of the many of the beings living here at the time however.)  For thousands upon thousands of years this planet became a technological marvel mixed with much spiritual understanding.  Harmony between the two was achieved but this balance seems to rarely last long. Competition grew between human groups and resentment between Atlantians and Humans.  This society spawned various classes of citizen and the power of the elite classes developed into a lopsided structure not unlike what we see today.  Powers abused and slaves created.  The culture fell out of balance and corruption took hold. Some lived outside of this civilization with the non human beings on the planet.  Some (re)formed a second, and third independent civilization which either rejected the technology and chose to stick to the "old ways" of living, or decided instead to use little technology along with their old ways. Wars broke out on the planet between different groups and all of this action caught the attention of other races nearby. (This was all very complicated and dramatic so we will skip the details.)  The Atlantians were recognized by some passing by and word returned to where they came from. The Atlantians were running away from a broken and dying world.  Also running from some very powerful enemies.  The noise made on earth, found its way to the ears of this enemy, who made an attack on the Atlantians here on earth. A war developed which involved not just our planet, not just Atlantians and humans, but also beings on nearby planets. (Much more complicated and much more dramatic) This battle destroyed an entire planet, and all life on another.  Badly damaged bases on moons and the refugees of all of this destruction ended up either departing the solar system, or on earth. Mid-war,   Atlantis left.  Abandoning the civilization they had created in the wake of the damage of their war. Our planet had to respond to the damage done to her and so,  great changes occurred. Humans and the refugees of other races were left with a badly damaged and wobbling planet.  Water fell from the sky,  followed by fire.  Even the Sun responded with vicious force.  The technology most had come to depend on was destroyed or unusable.  -Some humans and some groups from the other races as well, were removed from the damage, and taken elsewhere, but that is another story entirely.  One that repeats very often.- For hundreds of years humans and other beings who remained on earth existed in this traumatized state. Constantly adjusting and adapting to the changing planet as she attempted to heal from the wounds inflicted. Generations went by and oral traditions were all we had to preserve the history of events.  Groups of humans and other races spread out to all the areas they could live, often trying to get as far away from each other as possible. Enough time passed that most of this history -  was lost.  Broken up into fragments.  The perfect situation for another advanced race to exploit. This is when the Draco returned. ~Do not believe, consider.  Remember and know what is already a part of you~
