September 2023. Hi Atlantipedes, At present I am in Sardinia for a short visit. Later we move to Sicily and Malta. The trip is purely vacational. Unfortunately, I am writing this in a dreadful apartment, sitting on a bed, with access to just one useable socket and a small Notebook. Consequently, I possibly will not […]Read More »
Joining The Dots
I have now published my new book, Joining The Dots, which offers a fresh look at the Atlantis mystery. I have addressed the critical questions of when, where and who, using Plato’s own words, tempered with some critical thinking and a modicum of common sense.Read More »
Silva, Freddy
Freddy Silva is described on his website(a) as “ a bestselling author, and leading researcher of ancient civilizations, restricted history, sacred sites and their interaction with consciousness. He is also the leading expert on crop circles.” To date (2023) he has published 
eight books and a number of videos.
Silva has also written several articles relating to subjects touched on in Atlantipedia. In two papers(b)(c) he has commented on the incongruity of the Osirion, at Abydos, being the only ancient Egyptian temple built below ground level. He attributes a date of 10,500 BC to the Osirion.
Robert Bauval is probably best known as the original promoter of the Orion Correlation Theory (OCT), which claims that the layout of three principal Giza pyramids mirrors ‘Orion’s Belt’ in that constellation. However, Silva has imaginatively proposed an additional OCT – in Scotland(d). He suggested that the Pyramids of Giza, and by extension, Orion’s Belt matched the layout of the three stone circles of Stenness, Brodgar and Bookan!
The Boyne Valley in Ireland has a cluster of megalithic monuments, which includes Newgrange, that has generated its own collection of wild speculation, such as Freddy Silva’s exotic claim that there is a connection between Knowth and Sacsayhuaman near Cuzco in Peru and also hints at a possible link with Egypt’s Osirion(e)!
Silva briefly refers to Atlantis in a short YouTube video clip. He seems to believe that it had been situated in the Atlantic and its memory is still retained by the descendants of the Maya in the Yucatán(f).
