Trident Alert

Although no stranger to earthquakes, Indonesia falls into the current Trident resonator cycle that we have been stuck in for over a month now. Specifically the island of Sumatra which was hit by an 8.2 earthquake today. Aftershocks, tsunami warnings and damage reports were still coming in at the time of writing this.

Powerful quake strikes Indonesia

In an odd twist on the mining incidents that me and others have been following, a Mexican truck explosion from earlier this week in the city of Coahuila was caused when mining explosives being hauled on the truck went off.

An ancient name for Sumatra was Swarna Dwipa, (Sanskrit for Isle of Gold), apparently based on the fact that mines in the Sumatran highlands were exporting gold from fairly early times.

More as these stories unfold.

According to Plato...

Poseidon, god of the sea, sired five pairs of male twins with mortal women. Poseidon appointed the eldest of these sons, Atlas the Titan, ruler of his beautiful island domain. Atlas became the personification of the mountains or pillars that held up the sky.

“The Greek word Atlantis means the 'Island of Atlas', just as the word Atlantic means the 'Ocean of Atlas'. The firstborn, Atlas, had the continent and the surrounding ocean named for him. Poseidon divided the land into ten sections, each to be ruled by a son, or his heirs.

“The capital city of Atlantis was a marvel of architecture and engineering. The city was composed of a series of concentric walls and canals. At the very center was a hill, and on top of the hill a temple to Poseidon. Inside was a gold statue of the God of the Sea showing him driving six winged horses.

“Around 9000 years before the time of Plato, after the people of Atlantis became corrupt and greedy, the Gods decided to destroy them. A violent earthquake shook the land, giant waves rolled over the shores, and the island sank into the sea never to be seen again.”
