After doing quite a bit of researching about the genetic's linked to Atlantis, I came across something that extends beyond coincidence. Edgar Cayce "X" DNA First off, the website above, states that found within Native American tribes, namly the Iroquois, a rare mtDNA haplogroup X has been found within the population. It is in this rare haplogroup X, that the story of Atlantis finally comes to light.
So I began thinking, if there truly was a continent that split the Atlantic Ocean, this halogroup X would be found not only in DNA reminents of the Iroquois, but also in other continent's as well. And I was right. This same halogroup, is found in Northern Africa, parts of the Middle East (Israel) and Europe. Within Europe and the Middle East, two to four percent of the population carry it. At first, I thought to myself, well there goes my theory, if the halgroup X is found in Israel then there is no way, it is Atlantean in orgin.

Iroquois Creation Myth
The myth states "The Sky Woman gave birth to twin sons. One named Sapling who grew to be kind and gentle and the other son named Flint, whose heart was as cold as his name." It is in this idea of the two son's representing opposing forces, that I found within African creation mythology that twins represent the duality, or balance between paired or opposing forces.

It was then that I began researching the commonalities between Native American and Northern African cultures and found that within both cultures, people use red ochre during funeral ceremonies.
