LA ATLÁNTIDA. PARTE 10. LA EPOCA MODERNA PARTE 3/3: NEWTON Y LA ATLANTIDA GADITANA


Perpetrado por Oskarele

En el artículo anterior os comentábamos que Isaac Newton, en su ““The Chronology of the Ancient Kingdoms”, de 1728, hablaba también de la Atlántida. Exactamente en el libro II, “Of the Empire of Egypt”, entre las páginas 228 y 235, hace un amplio análisis sobre este tema. Aquí, de nuevo, propone que Gadir (Cádiz), pertenecía a la Atlántida, además de plantear que Solón fue engañado por aquellos sacerdotes egipcios que le contaron la historia de la mítica isla que fue derrotada por Atenas 9.000 años antes. Según Newton, en realidad pasa hace mucho menos tiempo…

Vamos a ver que dice exactamente Newton sobre el continente perdido:

“Los habitantes de Atlántida se ubicaron sobre el Monte Atlas., tierras conquistadas por los egipcios durante el reinado de Ammon. Se relata que Uranio fue el primer rey, quien los apartó de una vida salvaje, asentó la población en pueblos y ciudades donde aprendieron a utilizar frutos de la tierra. Reinó en gran parte del mundo y tuvo 18 hijos junto a su esposa Titea.

Hyperion y Basilea tuvieron dos hijos, Heliius y Selene. Helio murió ahogado por sus propio padre.

El Phaeton de ancianos se reunió en el Nilo y dividió el reino entre ellos. La región que bordeaba el océano se hundió; a sus habitantes se les llama Atlántides.

En el poema de Solón se menciona la división del Reino de Hyperion entre los dioses Urano, Hyperion, Helius, Selene, Júpiter, Ammon, Osiris, Isis, Horus y Bubaste.

Solón, en su viaje a Egipto, conversó con los sacerdotes de Sais sobre la historia. Entonces escribió un poema inconcluso sobre lo aprendido que cayó en manos de Platón. Relata que en la boca del estrecho, cerca de los pilares de Hércules, había una isla llamada Atlántida. Nueve mil años antes del día de Solón el reino se extendía desde Libia hasta Egipto y abarcaba toda Europa hasta el mar Tirreno. Con todo su poderío, invadieron Egipto y Grecia pero fueron detenidos por los atenienses y otros griegos- Por lo tanto, esas naciones no conquistadas se preservaron.

Se dice también que en esos días, luego de haber terminado sus conquistas, los dioses dividieron la tierra entre ellos: parte en grandes porciones y parte en porciones más pequeñas. Instituyeron ritos sagrados y templos para ellos mismos- La Isla Atlantis cayó a la suerte de Neptuno quien nombró Rey de toda la isla a su hijo mayor Atlas. Una parte te llamó Gadir.

En las guerras se conquistó a Cécrope, Erecteo, Erictonio y otras tierras antes de Teseo. En esos días las mujeres pelearon en las guerras a la par de los hombres.

Por todas estas circunstancias, es evidente que estos dioses eran los Magni Dii majorum y vivieron entre la edad de Cécrope y Teseo. Las guerras que Sesostris mantuvo con su hermano Neptuno hizo a las naciones de tierra y de mar. Aquí se cuenta sobre la resistencia que se encontró en Grecia, la invasión de Egipto por Neptuno y cómo los capitanes de Sesostris compartieron sus conquistas entre ellos, tal como los capitanes de Alejandro Magno mucho tiempo después de sus conquistas. Se describe la institución de templos y sacerdotes, los ritos sagrados para adorarlos como dioses después de sus muertes y que la isla de Gadir o Gades, con toda Libia endiosó a Neptuno. (lo hizo deidad).

La época en que se ubica el relato de Solón es la época de Neptuno, el padre de Atlas.
Homero nos dice que Ulises después de la Guerra de Troya encuentra a Calipso, hija de Atlas, en la isla de Ogigia, tal vez Gadir. Por lo tanto, sólo son dos generaciones antes de la Guerra de Troya.

Se trata de Neptuno, quien con Apolo u Orus fortaleció Troya con su muro, durante el reinado de Laomedonte, padre de Priamo. Dejó muchos hijos biológicos en Grecia, algunos fueron los argonautas. Y asi, con los habitantes contemporáneos floreció una civilización.

La expedición de los Argonautas fue 400 años antes de que Solón fuera a Egipto. Los sacerdotes, en esos cuatro siglos magnificaron las historias y contaban que la isla Atlántida era más grande que Africa y Asia juntas y estaba habitada por mucha gente. Relataban que se había sumergido en el mar con toda su población. Así, tan exagerada era la vanidad de los sacerdotes de Egipto al narrar sus historias.”

AQUI EL TEXTO EN EL INGLÉS ORIGINAL...

"The [308] Atlantides, a people upon mount Atlas conquered by the Egyptians in the Reign of Ammon, related that Uranus was their first King, and reduced them from a savage course of life, and caused them to dwell in towns and cities, and lay up and use the fruits of the earth, and that he reigned over a great part of the world, and by his wife Titæa had eighteen children, among which were Hyperion and Basilea the parents of Helius and Selene; that the brothers of Hyperion slew him, and drowned his son Helius, the Phaeton of the ancients, in the Nile, and divided his Kingdom amongst themselves; and the country bordering upon the Ocean fell to the lot of Atlas, from whom the people were called Atlantides. By Uranus or Jupiter Uranius, Hyperion, Basilea, Helius and Selene, I understand Jupiter Ammon, Osiris, Isis, Orus and Bubaste; and by the sharing of the Kingdom of Hyperion amongst his brothers the Titans, I understand the division of the earth among the Gods mentioned in the Poem of Solon.

For Solon having travelled into Egypt, and conversed with the Priests of Sais; about their antiquities, wrote a Poem of what he had learnt, but did not finish it; [309] and this Poem fell into the hands of Plato who relates out of it, that at the mouth of the Straits near Hercules's Pillars there was an Island called Atlantis, the people of which, nine thousand years before the days of Solon, reigned over Libya as far as Egypt; and over Europe as far as the Tyrrhene sea; and all this force collected into one body invaded Egypt and Greece, and whatever was contained within the Pillars of Hercules, but was resisted and stopt by the Athenians and other Greeks, and thereby the rest of the nations not yet conquered were preserved: he saith also that in those days the Gods, having finished their conquests, divided the whole earth amongst themselves, partly into larger, partly into smaller portions, and instituted Temples and Sacred Rites to themselves; and that the Island Atlantis fell to the lot of Neptune, who made his eldest Son Atlas King of the whole Island, a part of which was called Gadir; and that in the history of the said wars mention was made of Cecrops, Erechtheus, Erichthonius, and others before Theseus, and also of the women who warred with the men, and of the habit and statue of Minerva, the study of war in those days being common to men and women. By all these circumstances it is manifest that these Gods were the Dii magni majorum gentium, and lived between the age of Cecrops and Theseus; and that the wars which Sesostris with his brother Neptune made upon the nations by land and sea, and the resistance he met with in Greece, and the following invasion of Egypt by Neptune, are here described; and how the captains of Sesostris shared his conquests amongst themselves, as the captains of Alexander the great did his conquests long after, and instituting Temples and Priests and sacred Rites to themselves, caused the nations to worship them after death as Gods: and that the Island Gadir or Gades, with all Libya, fell to the lot of him who after death was Deified by the name of Neptune. The time therefore when these things were done is by Solon limited to the age of Neptune, the father of Atlas; for Homer tells us, that Ulysses presently after the Trojan war found Calypso the daughter of Atlas in the Ogygian Island, perhaps Gadir; and therefore it was but two Generations before the Trojan war. This is that Neptune, who with Apollo or Orus fortified Troy with a wall, in the Reign of Laomedon the father of Priamus, and left many natural children in Greece, some of which were Argonauts, and others were contemporary to the Argonauts; and therefore he flourished but one Generation before the Argonautic expedition, and by consequence about 400 years before Solon went into Egypt: but the Priests of Egypt in those 400 years had magnified the stories and antiquity of their Gods so exceedingly, as to make them nine thousand years older than Solon, and the Island Atlantis bigger than all Afric and Asia together, and full of people; and because in the days of Solon this great Island did not appear, they pretended that it was sunk into the sea with all its people: thus great was the vanity of the Priests of Egypt in magnifying their antiquities."
