Chapter II Caiphul
Page 42
A description therefore of one palace will serve a double purpose, that of presenting an idea of the most notable residence
in the great Atlantean empire, since I will describe the main palace of the emperor; and, secondly, that of illustrating
the prevailing style of governmental architecture in the period during which I resided in Poseid. Imagine, if it please thee,
an elevation approximating fifteen feet in height,, ten times that figure in width, and that fifty times its height
represents its length. External to the plane dimensions, on each of the four sides of the platform, which was of hewn
blocks of porphyry, an easy flight of steps led from the lawns up to the top of the elevation. On the sides, these steps
were divided into fifteen sections, while on the ends the divisions were only three, each being divided into lengths of
fifty feet. Between the two sections nearest the corners each division consisted of a deep quadrangular recess, into and
around which the stairs ran in uninterrupted continuity. The next, or third section, was separated from those on either side
by a sculptured serpent of huge size, fashioned from sandstone and as faithful to life as art could make it. The heads of
these immobile reptiles rested on the green sward in front of the stairs, while the bodies lay in full relief upon the
staircases and reaching the top of the platform, wound about the massive columns which supported the pediments of the
verandas
p. 43
of the superstructural palace erected upon the platform described, columns which formed a most imposing peristyle between
the broad verandas and the steps. The succeeding division was a quadrangle in the steps, and the next, another serpent,
and so around the building. It is hoped that this description is sufficiently perspicuous to give an idea of the tremendous
parallelogram, encompassed with steps, guarded by monstrous ornamental, as well as useful, serpent forms, religious emblems,
signifying not alone wisdom but also the appearance of a fiery serpent in the skies of the ancient earth, initiating the
event of the separation of Man from God. Alternating with these forms were the recesses, relieving what would otherwise
have been severely straight and wearisome lines. Surmounting this was the first story of the palace proper, its
reptile-entwined peristyle holding aloft great veranda roofs, whereon were enormous vases holding earth to nourish all
kinds of tropical plants, shrubs and many small varieties of trees, a luxuriant garden which perfumed the air, already
cooled by numerous fountains playing in the midst. Above the first story, with its flower-filled porticos, arose another
tier of apartments, surrounded by open galleries, the floors of which were formed by the roofs of those beneath. The third
and highest tier of apartments had no verandas, although on all sides it had promenades, formed by the roof of the portico
beneath. The same wild luxuriance of flowers and foliage rendered the stories of equal attractiveness. In all, song birds
and birds of plumage were welcome guests, uncaged, but tame because they never received harm. Attendants, with blowguns to
project noiseless darts, quietly destroyed all predatory species, as also they did-those which, having neither song powers,
vivid coloring of plumage, nor the useful habits of insectivora to commend them, were therefore undesirable.
Springing from the main roof of the palace arose graceful spires and towers, while the many jutting apartments,
angles and groined arches, flying buttresses, cornices and multifarious architectural effects prevented any apparent
heaviness in the design. Around the largest of the towers there extended from
p. 44
bottom to top a winding staircase, conducting to the rail-enclosed space on its summit, one hundred feet above the aluminum
sheathing or roofing-plates of the palace. Agacoe palace was unique in the possession of this tower, differing thus from
all other ministerial edifices. It may be explained that the tower had been erected as a memorial of the departure of a
fair princess from the loving care of her imperial husband into Navazzamin, the shadowy land of departed souls, some
centuries before my day. Such was the Agacoe palace. Its uppermost floor was in use as a great governmental museum;
the middle was devoted to offices of the chief government officials, while the first flat was magnificently arranged and
furnished for occupancy as the emperor's private residence. As not uninteresting, it may be noted that the yawning mouths
of the stone serpents recently described served as doorways (of the usual size) to certain apartments in the basement,
a fact which gives an accurate idea of the enormous size of these lithic saurians. The monsters were made with an eye to
artistic proportion; their bodies were of carved gray, red or yellow sandstone, their eyes of sard, carnelian, jasper or
other colored silicious stone, while fangs for their yawning mouths were made from gleaming white quartz, set on each
side of the entranceway.

In preceding pages the promontory of Caiphul was described as reaching out into the ocean from the Caiphalian
plain and as visible from a great distance at night because of the glow of light from the capital. For three
hundred miles westward from Numea the peninsula projected outwards from the plain, averaging almost to its
extreme cape. a breadth of fifty Miles and rising much like the chalk-cliffs of England directly from the ocean
to a height of nearly one hundred feet to reach a plain almost floor-like in its evenness. On the point of
this great peninsula was Caiphul or "Atlan, Queen of the Wave." Beautiful, peaceful, with its wide spreading
gardens of tropical loveliness,
"Where a leaf never fades in the still, blooming bowers,
And the bee banquets on thro' a whole year of flowers,"
its broad avenues shaded by great trees, its artificial hills,
the largest surmounted by governmental palaces, and pierced and terraced by,
the avenues which radiated from the city-center like spokes in a wheel. Fifty miles these ran in one direction,
while at right angles from them, traversing the breadth of the peninsula, forty miles in length,
were the shortest avenues. Thus lay, like a splendid dream, this, the proudest city of that ancient world.

(Q) Describe briefly one of the large cities of Atlantis at the height of its commercial and material prosperity,
giving name and location.
(A) This was called Poseida, or the city that was built upon the hill that overlooked
the waters of Parfa. In the vicinity was the egress and entrance to the waters from which, through which, many
of the people passed in their association with, those of the outside walls or countries. Poseida was not an
altogether walled city. A portion of it was built so that the waters of these rivers became as the pools about
which both sacrifice and sport, and those necessities for the cleansing of body, home and all, were obtained.
These waters were brought by large ducts or canals into these portions for preservation, and yet kept constantly
in motion so that it purified itself in its course; for, as we find, as is seen, water in motion over stone or
those various forces in the natural forces purifies itself in twenty feet of space.

Chapter II,Page 46
Trusting that the effort has been successful to depict by words the appearance of Atlantean governmental edifices,
let us next obtain an idea of the Caiphalian promontory, whereon was enthroned Caiphul, the Royal City,
the greatest of that ancient day, within the limits of which resided a population of two million souls,
unencompassed by walled fortifications. Indeed, none of the cities of that age were girt about with walls, and
in this respect they differed from the cities and towns known to later historical epochs. To call my records
of this Poseidic age history, is not exceeding fact, since what I relate in these pages is history derived from
the astral-light records. Nevertheless, it precedes the histories handed down in manuscript, papyrus rolls and
rock-inscriptions by many centuries, seeing that Poseid was no longer known in the earth when history's first
pages were chronicled by the earliest historian using papyrus; nay, nor even yet earlier, when the sculptors of
the obelisks of Egypt and the rock-inscribers of the temples cut pictorial histories in enduring granite.
No longer known was Poseid, for it is to-day approaching nine thousand years since the waters of the ocean
engulfed our fair land and left no sign, not even so much as was left of those two cities hidden away beneath
lava and ashes and for sixteen centuries of the Christian era thought never to have had existence. Excavators
dug away the scoriae from Pompeii, but from Caiphul no man can turn aside the floods of the Atlantic and reveal
what no more exists, for were every day a century it were even so nearly three months of such lengthy days since
the dread fiat of GOD went forth unto the waters:
"Cover the land, so that the all-beholding sun shall see it no more in all his course."
And it was so.
