Atlantis, a name recorded in various permutations by hundreds of cultures, has been called: Antilla, Amenti, Arallu, Attala, Atvantika, Aztlan, Azatlan, Atlantia, Atli, Asgard, Avalon, Arcadia, Arktos, Agartha, Shangri-la, Hyperborea, Tula, Rutas, Thule, Hesperides, Hy-Brasil, to mention a few. It was the original Elysian Fields. The Celts and Gaels called their ancestral homes by a variety of names which have passed down into the fairy folklore of later periods. In their legends we hear of Finias, Murias, Gorias and Falais, and of Tir Tairngire (the Land of Promise), of Mag Mell (the Plain of Happiness), Tir fa tonn (Land Beneath the Sea), of Tir nam beo (the Land of the Living), and of Tir nan og (the Land of the Young, or of Everlasting Youth). As H. G. Wells succinctly put it: There is magic in names and the mightiest among these words of magic is Atlantis...it is as if this vision of a lost culture touched the most hidden thoughts of our soul. Visitation of beings from outside our solar system is not as farfetched as it might seem and is a possibility greeted by many top scientists, including Albert Einstein. Carl Sagan personally estimated that this planet has been visited at least 5,000 times. In the book, Mankind, Child of the Stars, the authors quote Dr. Harrison H. Brown of the California Institute of Technology who they say: ...estimates that virtually every star in our galaxy has a planetary system, in each of which from two or four planets might have an Earth-like environment and chemistry that encour- ages our kind of life to exist. He gives the enormous figure of 100 billion stars with planets in the Milky Way galaxy alone. Professor Hermann Oberth, the father of rocket science, openly believed the planet Earth to be watched by beings from other planets. Indeed, ancient records also confirm that visitations were a relatively common occurrence. Generally, the visitors respected Earth's sovereignty and have conducted their researches without attracting attention or attempting to interfere with Earth’s indigenous tribes. Those who have the secrets of and who indulge in space travel maintain non-intervention as an inviolate edict. On the other hand, the Bible and the Book of Enoch, in particular, relate that Earth's sovereignty was violated by one contingent of ancient visitors. These beings were named the Nephilim (“those who were cast down”). There are many names that have come down to us that were used to describe the visitors. Some of these are: Anakim, From the End of Heaven Rephaim, Djinn, Giants, Titans, Fallen Angels, the Watchers, the Els, the Ari, Elders, Atlantis, Alien Visitation, and Genetic Manipulation
