This morning I thought about how there is indeed a certain similarity between the symbol of the United Nations and various "reconstructions" of Atlatnide, which were made from the description of Plato. The greek philosopher said it, in Critias, the main island of Atlantis was formed by several concentric circles. In addition to the central area (also circular), there were many other bands 5 External more precisely two strips of land and 3 bands of water, alternating between each other (as illustrated).
is what Plato says:
"Poseidon [...] had it [Atlantis] around steep, forming surrounded by sea and land alternately smaller and larger, round each other, two of land, three of sea, as if working on the lathe, starting from the center of the island, wherever a equal distance " (Plato, Critias )
In the same text, Paton said that after the men would build bridges in Atlantis, to connect the outer
surrounded with the inner part of ' island;
here were located the most important buildings of the Atlantean empire,
that the royal palace and the temple dedicated to the god Poseidon

made them viable means of bridges, forming a road outside and from the royal palace "
(Plato, Critias )
The symbol of the United Nations seems to correspond to the description in a surprising way Plant Atlantis. The bands resulting from the drawing are just five in number, and just as in Plato's account in the middle there is another circular area (ie the place where, in Atlantis, there would have been the royal palace). In the symbol of the UN, also, the various circles are connected by straight lines, which go towards the center of the figure, and which could be up to the bridges and canals constructed by the Atlanteans.
is true that the "official explanation" of the symbol is quite different, but in the context of "alternative theories" (o. .. conspiracy ) I believe that we can try to advance this hypothesis: that the symbol of 'UN is just a stylized representation of the island of Atlantis. Below I will try to explain why it would be Atlantis was chosen.
Why Atlantis?
As long as the symbol of the United Nations is in fact the island of Atlantis (this is still only a guess), what could be the reason for this "choice"? For groped for an answer, we must remember that the very strong influence on the UN had the "doctrines" and characters such as Theosophists Alice Bailey. According to the authors Theosophists, the continent of Atlantis was in fact the place where born in the past and spread the mystery cults, of which they see themselves as the successors.
Similarly, some "hidden schools" claim that the source of their organizations and their teachings is "Atlantis" ... and the same claim today many new age groups, among them "outstanding" the cult "neo-Atlantean "Damanhur, is at least interesting to note that this sect has received recognition, by the United Nations, as it would be a" model of ideal society. "
Obviously such claims of "ancient origin" are more than unfounded ... and also if there if you are in direct contradiction to other beliefs, such as "evolutionary," that characterize these movements. But Despite the contradictions, the source Atlantean of Mysteries for these people seems to be a full stop.
To occultists create a new empire of Atlantis, then, means to bring up their cults, cults that were unjustly "persecuted" by the Christian religion, and that would be ready to re-emerge in the mysterious "new era". For them, it also means establishing a new type of government that is consistent with their particular ideology.
Manly Palmer Hall, Occultist and 33rd degree Mason, in some of his writings ("Lectures on Ancient Philosophy") openly stated that there was a need to build a "New Atlantis " which would lead to an" ideal government for the land . A government that is composed by "an order of enlightened men (ie initiates) united by the aim to investigate forces of life and the mysteries of nature .
This "New Atlantis" mentioned by Hall is nothing, after all, the new world order, a "new world", as he says, where "the nations not exist "and" the earth will be under one single order, a government administrative body . "Where to direct the destiny of the globe and its inhabitants are men" enlightened ".
At this matter, the interpretation of the symbol in question would say that it represents a hope of building the "New Atlantis" and the return of the "mystery cults" throughout the world ... a world united by this "new religion" and guided by a single government. It 'an interpretation that may not be as fanciful as the United Nations are born with this specific purpose.
