In the book \u201cThe Last days of Tolemac\u201d, the Oracle referred to a lost civilization of Paititi, that was located in South America in the Amazon Basin of Brazil, and which had a level of culture that rivaled both Atlantis and Lemuria. The Oracle went on to say:<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWhile the lost civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria live on in legend, little is known today about the civilization of Paititi. Although this civilization co-existed with its more famous neighbors in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, it was in some ways even more advanced.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cThe civilization of Paititi differs from those of Atlantis and Lemuria in one significant way. Whereas the islands of Atlantis and Lemuria were both destroyed by earthquakes and sank below the waves, the cities of Paititi have never been under water. Their cities remain relatively intact, while their records are preserved in underground libraries that still survive to this day. They are protected by the dense Amazonian jungle that now shields them from modern eyes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cThe builders of Paititi also built a system of tunnels that honeycomb the region. These tunnels were not only used for transport and communication, but also for storing their precious objects and artifacts. When the earthquakes that will herald the coming of the new age cause large sections of the earth to be displaced, they will cause these tunnels to be revealed.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Many readers have asked whether there is any truth to all of this, and if any ruins of Paititi have been discovered in the Amazon Basin of Brazil, and whether there is any evidence of a system of tunnels where their underground libraries may have been stored.<\/p>\n
Although this is a subject that requires far more space than can be allocated here, the search for the answers to these questions dominated the lives of three enigmatic men, who between them may have glimpsed the reality that lies behind the legend of Paititi. The names of these three men were Colonel Percy Fawcett, Janos Moricz and Padre Carlos Crespi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
