i no mutant i atlantean papi
As there are various Atlantean units, including the Lara doppelgänger, mummies, and the unused dinosaurs and fishes, I wonder if each one served a distinct purpose within the Atlan workforce and/or army! Here are all the initial ideas I have for each unit:
Based on our Bacon Lara observations, the doppelgänger unit seems to have a stronger psychic connection to the individuals they genetically mimic. However, I'm into the idea that they possess a form of sentience independent from the original, even if it doesn't immediately develop upon creation. I imagine that the Atlans created the doppelgängers based on desirable traits they observed in whoever caught their attention, believing that these copies would greatly benefit their scientifically advanced society.
If we consider the Atlantean dinosaurs and fish as canonical to the lore of Atlantis, they may have served as service animals and steeds for military (and possibly entertainment) purposes. They could've resulted from genetic experimentation on dinosaurian and ichthyic creatures, but rather than rendering them useless, the Atlans might've utilised them for beneficial purposes. I feel like the Atlans strive to make the most out of their environment and test results rather than immediately discarding something without a second thought.
Regarding the mummies, they give off stealth vibes. Perhaps the Atlans used them for stealthy protection purposes!
The centaurs seem like the kinda unit that'd serve as the best and fiercest warriors and gladiators, while the winged ones would conduct aerial tasks, such as delivering important messages.
Crawlers would be the most common type of Atlantean, primarily serving as grunts. They'd be often delegated to land-based warfare and more labour-intensive tasks that regular Atlans might not be capable of handling.

THE FULFILLED PROPHECY OF ATLANTIS
Let us recall that ancient submerged continent called Atlantis. In the ancient Egypt of the Pharaohs, the Priests of Sais told Solon that Atlantis had been destroyed 9,000 years before speaking with him. The famous archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, who discovered the ruins of ancient Troy, found among the Treasure of Priam a strange jar of a very peculiar shape, upon which is engraved a phrase in Phoenician characters that literally says: “From King Cronos of Atlantis.”
In the archives of an ancient Buddhist temple in Lhasa, one can still read a very ancient Chaldean inscription written 2,000 years before Christ, which says: “When the star Bal fell in the place where now there is only sea and sky, the seven cities with their golden gates and transparent temples trembled and shook like the leaves of a tree moved by the storm. A wave of fire and smoke rose in the palaces; the cries of agony of the multitude filled the air. They sought refuge in their temples and citadels, and the wise Mu, the Priest of Ra-Mu, appeared and said to them: Did I not foretell this to you? And the men and women, covered in precious stones and brilliant garments, cried out saying: Mu, save us! And Mu replied: You will die with your slaves and your riches, and from your ashes new nations will arise. If they forget that they must be superior not by what they acquire but by what they give, the same fate will befall them. The flames and smoke drowned out Mu’s words, and the land broke apart and sank with its inhabitants into the depths in a few months.” 📜
Atlantean civilization has not yet been surpassed by our modern civilization. The Atlanteans also knew atomic energy and used it in peace and in war. Atlantean science had the tremendous advantage of being united with magic; extraordinary robots were manufactured; a certain type of superior elementals controlled those robots. These robots, endowed in this way with intelligence, appeared to be human beings and faithfully served their masters. Any robot could inform its owner about the dangers that threatened him and, in general, about many aspects of practical life.
The Atlanteans possessed machines as extraordinary and marvelous as one that could telepathically transmit precious intellectual information to the mind of any human being. The Atlanteans learned to de-gravitate bodies at will. With a small device that fit in the palm of the hand, they could levitate any body, no matter how heavy it was. The god Neptune wisely ruled Atlantis. Atlantean cities flourished while their inhabitants remained faithful to the religion of their ancestors, while they obeyed the precepts of the god Neptune, while they did not violate Law and Order; but when they profaned sacred things, when they abused sex, when they stained themselves with the seven deadly sins, they were punished and submerged with all their riches at the bottom of the ocean.
The Priests of Sais told Solon: “All celestial bodies that move in their orbits suffer disturbances that determine, over time, a periodic destruction of earthly things by a great Fire.” 🔥
The Atlantean continent extended and was oriented toward the south, and its highest regions were toward the north; its mountains surpassed in greatness, height, and number all those that exist today. The history of the Universal Flood, whose versions are found in all traditions, are simple memories of the great Atlantean catastrophe. All the religious teachings of primitive America, all the sacred cults of the Incas, Mayas, and Aztecs, the gods and goddesses of the ancient Greeks, Phoenicians, Scandinavians, Hindus, etc., are of Atlantean origin. Atlantis geographically united America with the Old World. The ancient Indo-American civilizations have Atlantean origins. The Egyptian, Incan, Mayan religions, etc., were the primitive religions of the Atlanteans. The Phoenician alphabet, father of all the famous European alphabets, has its root in an ancient Atlantean alphabet, which was correctly transmitted to the Mayas by the Atlanteans. All the symbols and hieroglyphs of the Egyptians and the Mayas come from the same Atlantean source, and thus their resemblance—too great to be the result of chance—is explained.
The catastrophe that ended Atlantis was dreadful. There is no doubt that the result of violating the Law is always catastrophic. The period of the submergence of Atlantis was truly an era of many geological changes. From the deep womb of the immense sea, other solid lands emerged that formed new islands and continents. Some Atlantean survivors took refuge on the small continent of Grabontzi, present-day Africa, which grew in size as additional land masses emerging from nearby waters joined it. The Gulf of Mexico was once a beautiful valley; the Antilles, the Canary Islands, and Spain are fragments of submerged Atlantis. Atlantis went through terrible and horrifying catastrophes before disappearing completely. The last disaster occurred about 11,000 years ago, submerging the remaining island that Plato called Poseidon. From this event—the Great Flood—all peoples have preserved a more or less confused memory. 🌊
Present-day humanity, instead of evolving, has involuted, and its corruption is now worse than that of the Atlanteans; its wickedness is so great that it has already reached the heavens. This humanity will be destroyed so that the prophecy made by Ra-Mu in submerged Atlantis may be fulfilled: “If they forget that they must be superior not by what they acquire but by what they give, the same fate will befall them.”

👉 Final Reflection:
Humanity repeats the ancient mistake of Atlantis, mistaking possession for greatness and power for wisdom. When selfishness and greed become the goal, decline is inevitable. The prophecy was not a threat, but a reminder. The only way to escape the coming disaster is to rid ourselves of the psychological ego. The Great Law always helps those who strive to cleanse themselves, those who rebel against the inner enemy. 🙏
