Hello, I have been hearing about the "Hyperboreans" and "Atlanteans", etc., and I would like to know more about the "Esoteric" view of history and human existence and if there is a unaminous consensus on the topic.
What can I read to know more about this topic?

Robert E. Howard
Hyperboreans are Conan the Barbarian shit.
Watch the second Joe Rogan podcast with Graham Hancock. He explains it very well and not so mystical as it is based in science.

I don't believe in these, I just wanted to read a bit more on them -- at least something people claim to be true and not obviously fictional.
All I know is that humans had advanced civilizations over 10,000 years ago, some of which were in Antarctica (there used to be a land-bridge connecting it to SA)

All I know is that any dramatic scene from this age would be suitably air-brushed on the side of a bitchin' van

>humans had advanced civilizations over 10,000 years ago
It seems that this is getting more and more likely
>some of which were in Antarctica
You really think so? Is there much justification for this besides the Piri Reis map?

Continental drift.

Which operates at vast time scales. The continents and their relative locations would still be recognizable to a modern person, if they looked at the earth of 10,000 years ago. This was a poor point on your part. The nature of continental drift is something you could have learned a bit about before posting. Check out a geology text book, or even Wikipedia ffs.

continental drift does not explain anything.
There may have been a reason for the northern antarctic coast to be something else 10,000 years ago, but continental drift isnt the reason.

The esoteric view of human history comes from the 19th century, during which many pseudo-intellectual Europeans traveled to India and China and tried to take credit for their apocryphal texts.

Understand this stuff is at least 200 years old (at most all the way back to Plato over 2300). That means A LOT of people have already read it, re-interpreted it, added their spin to it. It's a giant mythology centered around one paradoxical idea:
>In the past humans had a fantastical civilization that was as advanced as ours is today, and we can rediscover it.
>For some reason the people saying this in the 1600s couldn't predict planes, the people saying this in the 1800s couldn't predict spaceships, the people saying this in the 2000s can't predict our technology in the 2200s.
This lack of 'predictive power' and this giant mystery about our origins, makes it a seductive CURRENTYEAR religion (new age spiritualism) and it makes SERIOUSBUSINESS scientists dismiss it.

The Power of the Coming Race was the first science fiction story and it's the best story I've ever read.

The arms race of the World Wars began in the mid 1800s with the build up of navies, artillery and development of mechanized cavalry.
The arms race of the next Future War began in the mid 1900s with the build up of nuclear weapons, missiles, jets and satellites.
This would mean the century breaks down like this:
>Trump 2017-2024 (Peace in the ME)
>Pence 2025-2032 (Re-armament build up aggression)
>Unknown 2033-2039 (Massive US Recovery)
>Future War 2039-2045 (250 million dead)
>2050-2070 (World population climbs to 30-40 billion)
>2070-2100 (Arms race for next conflict)
The analogue of the late 1800s early 1900s with all of the shit being written then is similar to present day. Loss of faith in world religions and their demonisation (rise of Marxism). Anti-science and beliefs in supernatural explanations (New Age, UFOs). Carefully controlled propaganda in an attempt to create tension and fear in a population distrustful of their leaders (Nazi/Soviet/US propaganda machines). Economic disasters and the loss of confidence in capitalism (Great Depression, Russian Revolution).
The population is being psychologically primed again just like they were 100 years ago to expect mass disaster, causality, catastrophe and death in the near future. What is probably happening is an organized human sacrifice on a cyclical basis, in return for technological advancement. The technology creates more problems which require more advanced technology to solve, requiring further blood sacrifices of a large magnitude. It's a Devil's Trap.
