In contrast to Plato, Donnelly or even occultists like Steiner, Edgar Cayce wrote no
 books on Atlantis.  We must piece the story together from the nearly 700
individual life readings, given over a twenty year period, that mention one or more
Atlantean incarnations.  This set of readings comprises a little less than 30% of the
approximately 2500 readings.

Weaving the Atlantis story together from the life readings is a formidable task for
two reasons.  First, most of the remarks about Atlantis, or any other country, were
in the nature of  asides.  The readings gave reasons for an individual's urges,
tendencies and personal characteristics, and even mental and physical abilities and
disabilities; but they did not describe at length the times and places in which the
person lived.

Second, few dates were given for the time of any particular incarnation.  Because
incarnations in Atlantis extended far into prehistory, it was difficult to tell how long ago the incarnation occurred.

Admittedly, much of the story is sketchy.  But, in spite ofthese problems, many readings contained remarks about the customs or the times, and a few gave specific dates.  Many of the remarks are at odds with conventional thinking, many
of them sound as fantastic as any science fiction story and just as unbelievable. 
As I (Edgar Evans Cayce) sifted through the kaleidoscope of lives, however, I was
impresssed by the INTERNAL CONSISTENCY of the information.  Here were readings given as much as twenty years apart, for different individuals, which agreed in
minute detail.  There were few contradictions between readings for the same or
different individuals given years apart.  Names for over 400 different people were
given in the Atlantis readings, with no confusion.

Cayce recounts three major periods of earth changes involving volcanic eruptions,
earthquakes, tidal waves and sinking land, occurring between 50,000 and 10,000
BC:

  .  The first occurred about 50,000BC when a portion of the continent was
      destroyed.

  .  The second occurred around 28,000 BC, when the remaining land was split into
      islands.

  .  The final destruction occurred around 10,000BC when the last islands were
      submerged.  (This is undoubtedly the destruction to which Plato referred.
