Amimitl

“The Harpoon” or “Harpooner,” a title applied to the Aztec god of the sea,
Atlahua. His name is an apparent derivative of Atlas. He was also known as “He
Who Divides the Waters” and “Inventor of the Trident,” both of which clearly
define Atlantean associations. Plato told how the sea-god Poseidon “divided the
waters from the land” to create Atlantis. Moreover, the trident was Poseidon’s
emblem of maritime power. Brundage reports that Atlahua was “venerated in
a temple on the legendary island of Aztlan,” Atlantis, obviously enough (93).
Remarkably, the ancient Egyptians remembered the Mesentiu, “The Harpooners,”
a culture-bearing people who arrived by sea from the Distant West to establish
dynastic civilization at the Nile Delta.
