The labyrinth..
Further authentication of Plato's account of Atlantis can be found in the universal use of the labyrinth, or the swirl symbol. From the Hopi Indians to the Aztecs, to the natives of the Nasca plains, and across the world to almost every culture, including Minoan Crete, we see the unmistakable evidence of a universal symbol. It is to be found amongst the stone circles of Britain and France, through to Sicily and Malta, and beyond it to the African continent - an ever present motif of a special symbol!
But why ? Why did the ancients endow this symbol with such awe and mysticism, and why was it so universally adopted?
Map of Atlantis?
Categorised as the symbol of life, the universal use of the swirl pattern or labyrinth, is often explained as the inspiration of a massive collective subconscious, or a symbol that represents the physical outline of our galaxy. This may well be so, but as with so many things in the ancient world, it is also capable of double or triple significance. In this case yet another possibility arises from Plato's description of the layout of Atlantis. For intriguingly enough we are told that the inner sanctum of Atlantis, housing it's administrative and spiritual centres, was formed around a series of concentrically shaped canals. These unmistakably form the shape of a labyrinth!
It isn't too hard to imagine that perhaps the spread of this symbol was conceived with just one intention - to preserve the memory of that special world of Poseidon's island. Atlantis had now sunk beneath the waves, the rest of the world cast into turmoil. To secure it's memory, a lasting emblem was created, the emblem of Atlantis! Use of this emblem in effect constituted a mark of identity, a global kinship cemented by knowledge of this lost age. An emblem that served to unite distant people the world over, and keep alive the memory of this special place.
