EDGAR CAYCE - MIGRATIONS FROM ATLANTIS

Has any evidence been found that would support Cayce by showing that these original ancestors of the Mound Builders arrived from the south rather than from the west, after crossing the Bering Strait?"  One of the more interesting pieces of evidence consistent with the Cayce story of Atlanteans in North America comes from linguistics.  The readings said, "the entity then was among the people, the Indians, of the Iroquois;  those of noble birth, those that were of the pure descendants of the Atlanteans."  (no. 1219-1, July 13, 1936.)

A recent linguistic study in a 1985 QUARTERNARY RESEARCH by Richard Rogers, an anthropologist from the University of Kansas, suggests that, before 18,000 years ago, when the glaciers covered much of North America, there was already a linguistically distinct population in the southeast.  As the glaciers melted, near the time of the final destruction of the Cayce Atlantis, the people migrated northward.  Their linguistic family, Algonquian, is distinct from the languages of the west
Iroquoian, another eastern language family, is also not related to the languages of the west.  The article does not discuss the Atlantean theory, but at the very least it shows that Native Americans are not descended from a single population that came over the Bering Strait in 10,000BC.

Once again, the scientific evidence puts Cayce in a relatively good light.  Whatever their origin, it appears that these people entered the region in the time frame given by Cayce, and eventually became the Mound Builders.  For thousands of years, their culture was at a higher level than anyone had thought possible.  This evidence does not directly support the Atlantis ORIGIN, but is consistent with it.
