In Babylonian myth, Ea, the god of the seas, destroyed the great city of Ad with
a catastrophic deluge, killing all its sinful inhabitants except his virtuous high priest,
Adapa. This “Man from Ad” arrived in the Near East as a culture-bearer to pass
on the arts and sciences, principles of government, and religion, from which all
subsequent Mesopotamian civilizations traced their development. The Babylonian
Ad is equivalent to the drowned capital preserved in Arabic traditions, and both are
clear references to the same primeval civilization of Atlantis.
