And during this Atlantean catastrophe the humanity which is now the European, Asiatic, and American civilized humanity lived chiefly on a continent where there is now sea—namely, the Atlantic Ocean. At that time this area was occupied mostly by land, and for a very long time, humanity had been developing upon this Atlantean continent. You can read in my books and cycles what humanity passed through during those epochs. I will not speak of other human experiences during the ancient Atlantean time, but only of musical experiences.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Pneumatosophy: The Riddles of the Inner Man","site_heading":null,"date":"1923-05-23","location":null,"word_count":133,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/224/1923-05-23/p009","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:length+anchor_constrained","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Frances E.
