To tell you the truth, after looking at one of Hancock's photographs of the
Sphinx, I thought he should have named his book 'Footprints of the Gods'
because I can see a distinct 'footprint' shape where I expect that the
Sphinx's wing was.

Perhaps because they didn't have weasels on Atlantis? :-)

It can be done!  Bette Midler sang about 'love' and 'Horus', the son of
Osiris became the symbol for the human heart. :-)

Well, the way I see it - the ones who obtained their information
independently and are in agreement must be correct.  Would you disagree?

Thank-you for describing your experience with regression.  Regarding this
part:

I've heard the name 'keepers of the white stone' mentioned before by Cayce
in regards to Atlantis and I believe that there's a word in the Nahuatl
language that is 'uaxactun' which I believe can be translated to be 'lord
white stone'.  Have you ever  followed up on any of these?

I don't know if I've been researching Atlantis for my own benefit.  I
already believe that it existed.  I am deeply troubled about an incorrect
(in my opinion) view of history for one thing and also when I see others
going to, what I consider to be, innaccurate sources for information.  I
just unsubscribed from another mailing list last night and this is the
'gist' of one of the postings on it:  "Then end of the world is coming and
nobody cares!"  Well, this person had chosen to accept one of Nostradamus'
quatrains literally (or someone's interpretation of it) about the end of
the world and was very agitated.  What does a person do?
