Rose, test report, 1 0 July 1953) have shown that these<br>flints come from a quarry on a hill near Alborg, which was in use in<br>the Neolithic period but went out of operation at the end of the<br>Bronze Age. &nbsp;The Danish archaeologist johannes Brbndsted wrote of<br>these flint mines: &#8216;In this hill were discovered five deep shafts,<br>with galleries and floors where the flint was worked. &nbsp;They provide<br>conclusive evidence that there was a flint-mining industry in this<br>area, a centre of trade and export&#8217; in the copper-dagger period<br>(according to Br6ndsted about 1800-1500 BC) (1960, v. 1, p. 334).<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Divers from the Heligoland Institute of Marine Biology have<br>also found these flat flints on the Steingrund; they call them<br>&#8216;Atlantis stones&#8217;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(P.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lippens 1974; HusumerIVachrichten, 10 September 1974).<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Similar flints were found by Olshausen and von Aschen in a<br>Bronze<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Age grave on the Heligoland plateau (Olshausen 1893, p. 500).<br>K. Kersten has found flint tiling on the walls of several Bronze Age,<br>graves on the island of Sylt (1935, p. 164ff.). Professor H. Rose<br>stated in his mineralogical report on the flints from the Steingrund,<br>&#8216;The Atlanteans must have obtained them from Denmark&#8217;: that is,, 400<br>km over land and sea, since this is the distance between the Alborg<br>flint mines and Heligoland.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This island, which lay in the shelter of the high rock mass<br>of&#8217; Heligoland, was flooded over in the natural cataclysms at the end<br>ol&#8217;the Bronze Age. &nbsp;During the recession of the North Sea which<br>occurred in the Iron Age it partly reappeared; a common enough event<br>on the Schieswig-Holstein coast. &nbsp;The Greek geographer Marcellus said<br>of this re-emergence, citing &#8216;the oldest historians&#8217;, who had reported<br>the event: &#8216;The inhabitants of these islands, have preserved the<br>memory, handed down from their ancestors, of the great island of<br>Atlantis, which once existed in this area, and during many centuries<br>ruled over all the islands of the outer sea, and was sacred to<br>Poscidon. &nbsp;The island of Atlantis was, they say, flooded over by the<br>sea and lost. &nbsp;Where it once lay, there are now seven smaller and<br>three larger islands, of which the greatest is still sacred to<br>Poseidon.&#8217; (Marcellus, Aethiopica, quoted in Proclus In Platonis<br>Timaeum commentarii&#8217;.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On this island the Christian missionaries, Wulfram (AD 689),<br>Willibrord (in 690), and Liudger (in 780-785), preached the Gospel.<br>They called it &#8216;Fositesland,&#8217; because on it stood the principal shrine<br>of the Frisian god Fosite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alcuin, the teacher of Charlemagne, wrote in his Vita Willibrordi (ch.<br>1 0):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Now while [Willibrord] was pursuing his journey, he came to a<br>certain island on the boundary between the Frisians and the Danes,<br>which the people of those parts call Fositesland, after a god named<br>Fosite, whom they worship and whose temples stand there. &nbsp;This place<br>was held by the pagans in such great awe that none of the natives<br>would venture to meddle with any of the cattle that fed there nor with<br>anything else, nor would they dare draw water from the spring that<br>bubbled up there except in complete silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adam of Bremen described the site of this island precisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The archbishop [Adalbert of Bremen] consecrated from among his<br>own clerics Rudolf for Schleswig, Wilhelm for Zealand, Ellbert (&#8216;or<br>Fyn. &nbsp;Elll)crt, a convert from piracy, is said to have been the first<br>to find the island of&#8217;Farria, which lies hidden in a deep recess of<br>the ocean in the mouth ol&#8217;the Elbe river, and, having built a<br>monastery there, to have made it habitable. &nbsp;This island lies across<br>from Hadeln. &nbsp;It is barely eight miles long by tour miles wide, and<br>its people use straw and the wreckage of ships for fuel&#8230; This island<br>produces crops in the greatest abundance and is an exceedingly rich<br>f&#8217;oster-mother for birds and cattle. &nbsp;On it there is but one hill and<br>not a single tree. &nbsp;It is hemmed in on all sides by very precipitous<br>crags that prohibit access except in one place, where also the water<br>is sweet. &nbsp;All sailors hold the place in awe, especially, however,<br>pirates. &nbsp;Hence it got the name by which it is called, &#8216;Heiligland&#8217;.<br>From the Vita of Saint Willibrord we learned that it was called<br>Fositesland and that it is situated on the boundary between the Danes<br>and the Frisians.&#8217; (Adam of Bremen 4.3.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So this island was given various names: &#8216;Fositesland&#8217;,<br>&#8216;Heiligland&#8217;, and &#8216;Farria&#8217;. &nbsp;This latter name is derived by some<br>writers from the old wordfarre = a bull; by others from the Frisian<br>wordfeer &#8211; infertile or dry. &nbsp;However the latter meaning contradicts<br>Adam of Bremen&#8217;s statement: &#8216;This island produces crops in the<br>greatest abundance.&#8217; So we may translate &#8216;Farria&#8217; as &#8216;bull island&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br>End Quote<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;By the way: there are many<br>&gt;&#8217;sunken towns&#8217; in the Mediterranean that are in fact sunken ships<br>&gt;that lost their freight (pillars, blocks, statues &#8230;)<br>&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; &gt;d) The Germans have very good archaeologists and the best<br>&gt;&gt; &gt;equipement. In 1983 they founded a commission for underwater<br>&gt;&gt; &gt;archaeology. It would be easy for them to examine and confirm<br>&gt;&gt; &gt;Juergen Spanuth&#8217;s discovery. How come that we never see s aside<br>&gt;&gt; &gt;scan sonar picture of the place in question? How come that I<br>&gt;&gt; &gt;never saw that &#8220;Steingrund&#8221; in a book of serious archaeology?<br>&gt;&gt; &gt;Mind that: Juergen Spanuth found Atlantis and no one cares &#8230;<br>&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; I am not presently concerned with whether what Spanuth &#8216;found&#8217; (not<br>&gt;&gt; that he claims to have found it) is Atlantis or not. All I am<br>&gt;&gt; interested in is whether or not it exists. How come you have never<br>&gt;&gt; seen it in a book of serious archaeology? I can&#8217;t answer that.

Your replies almost always lack any useful<br>&gt;informations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could say much the same to you. However, I am the one who has been<br>asking for information and you are the one who has been denying that<br>there is anything to find information about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; I found this very readily as I had specially marked it so that I could<br>&gt;&gt; return to the addresses of Dr. Willi Kramer and Dr. Helmut<br>&gt;&gt; Schlichtherle to enable me to write to them.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Why don&#8217;t you simply write them and ask them about the Steingrund<br>&gt;and other eventual findings in the German Sea and around Helgoland?<br>&gt;instead of sending a dozen meaningless posts a day to our forum?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You obviously are not capable of extracting what meaning there is.

Having read all your lines<br>&gt;I don&#8217;t know anything about the Steingrund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could have told you that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; Very well, He has called it &#8216;gold powder&#8217;. Do you know the shape of<br>&gt;&gt; the particles? This is what I have been asking about from the first.<br>&gt;&gt; Fine gold flakes made by beating gold foil have been known for a long<br>&gt;&gt; time and it may be that this is what was called &#8216;goldstaub&#8217;. However,<br>&gt;&gt; a true powser has roughly spherical particles and flows like flour,<br>&gt;&gt; and the ability to make this in gold is relatively new, as far as I<br>&gt;&gt; know. That is why I was most interested in the possibility that the<br>&gt;&gt; Ancient Egyptians had some way of making a true gold powder.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;You are not even able to read. Goldstaub und Blattgold mean<br>&gt;gold dust or gold powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gold dust is soemthing else again. I don&#8217;t expect you to know the<br>difference between gold powder, gold dust and gold flakes as, to you,<br>they are all the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &#8212;&#8212;&#8211; snip &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Eric Stevens<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>There are two classes of people.
