Atlantis as the ancestors of civilizations
According to scientists not all inhibitors of Atlantis died in the terrible catastrophe. The part of them got to the coast of America, other people got to Europe. They were those who put the base for the formation of the great civilization in Mexico and Peru as well as in Mesopotamia and Egypt.
According to scientists such fact explains the extraordinary similarity in architecture, religions, costumes, etc.
The inhabitants of Atlantis worshiped the sun and the myth about the Flood was spread in Mesopotamia and among ancient Indian tribes of South and North America.
The language of Basks (people who live in Spain) is not similar to any language of the world but it is very similar to the language of some Indian's languages. The pyramids of Ancient Egypt and Mexico have much in common. Moreover many countries of both America and Europe had the tradition to mummify the dead people and put different things into their graves. Scientists found the decorations with the use of nephritis, but there are no nephritis deposits in the North America. Maybe it was brought from Atlantis.
There was the legend in Mexico and Peru that told about the white god that came to them in the ship from the East and taught Indians their crafts and building, introduced laws and religion and then disappeared mysteriously. The Peru people not knowing about the existence of Aztecs also had such legend only called the god in another manner.
