Much of what we know, and shall tell, of Atlantis stems from the time of its decadence in the closing centuries of the Age of Bronze, but it should not be forgotten that in the High Bronze Age (and do not forget that the Age of Bronze lasted about twice as long as the whole of patriarchal history) the Great Western Empire of Atlantis was the glory of the world, the heart of the Mother Tradition both to the West (the Americas) and to the East (Europe, Africa and Asia). The great Priestess-Queens of Atlantis guided the world on its true and proper course of love and service to Our Mother God and put down (by peaceful means, for deadly violence between humans was then unknown) various errors and degeneracies that might have perverted maids from their true course far earlier than was in fact the case.
But there is a saying that explains much in the history of Telluria: corruptio optimi pessima "the best, when corrupted, becomes the worst". With the decadence of Atlantis the world lost its vital spiritual Centre. Not only were aberrations in other lands no longer held in check by the wise and kind rulership of the High Empress, but poisonous influences spread from the Mother City itself. The degeneration that finally led to the first patriarchal revolutions began in the lost Empire of Atlantis. In that sense it was a "lost Empire" long before the waves consumed it. But many other things were to happen before the deluge that ended the Age of Bronze and began the Age of Iron finally purged the world of what, by then, had become its greatest blight. Atlantis was reclaimed, for a very considerable time, by the Amazon Confederation, and a faithful Empress restored to the throne. None of this could last forever as the tide of history, combined with the First Sin of the schizomorphi, took their inexorable course. But let us not forget that the pax Amazonia, forged in the heart of Atlantis, lasted for more centuries than most current Tellurian nations may hope to last. Let us then proceed to examine the Amazon history of Atlantis the lost Empire.
