It points to an ancient land that once existed between Europe and America, where the Atlantic Ocean is now. This ancient land of Atlantis perished, along with the treasures of power and wisdom. These treasures were referred to as gold, and their demise is told in the saga as the sinking of the gold of the Nibelungen hoard. The treasure of the Nibelungs is to be raised in a new way, more in the East, in Europe. First Wotan, then Siegfried are the initiates who have the task of bringing the old treasure back to today's Europe, of making the Nibelung hoard fruitful again for newer culture in a certain way. The fact that the saga presents us with a secret initiate, Wotan, helps us to gain a deep insight into another ancient culture. The letters W and B correspond to each other. Wotan, Wodan is the same as Bodha Buddha. Wotan is actually the Germanic form of the word Buddha. We come across a common origin of the European Wotan religion and the Asian Buddha religion. The Buddha religion did not spread so much in India, but among those peoples of Asia who still had something of the Atlantean culture in them. The Wotan peoples also brought their views from the Atlantean culture. Their further development was expressed in the legends that the Druid priests had taught them. The saving of the hoard of the Nibelungs - the Atlantean culture - by Wotan and Siegfried is particularly beautifully expressed in these sagas.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XV.

Sie weist hin auf ein uraltes Land, das es einst gab zwischen Europa und Amerika, da, wo jetzt der atlantische Ozean ist. Dieses uralte Land Atlantis ist untergegangen und mit ihm Schätze der Macht und Weisheit. Diese Schätze bezeichnete man als Gold, und ihr Untergehen wird in der Sage erzählt als das Versenken des Goldes des Nibelungenhortes. Der Schatz der Nibelungen soll in neuer Weise gehoben, auferweckt werden, mehr im Osten, in Europa. Erst Wotan, dann Siegfried sind die Eingeweihten, denen die Aufgabe zukam, dem heutigen Europa den alten Schatz wiederzubringen, den Nibelungenhort in gewisser Weise für die neuere Kultur wieder fruchtbar zu machen. Daß die Sage uns einen Eingeweihten «Wotan» entgegentreten läßt, hilft uns, tief in eine andere uralte Kultur hineinzublicken. Die Buchstaben W und B entsprechen einander. Wotan, Wodan ist dasselbe wie Bodha Buddha. Wotan ist tatsächlich die germanische Bildung des Wortes Buddha. Wir kommen da auf einen gemeinschaftlichen Ursprung der europäischen Wotan-Religion und der asiatischen Buddha-Religion. Die Buddha-Religion fand nicht so sehr in Indien Verbreitung, sondern bei denjenigen Völkern Asiens, die noch etwas von der atlantischen Kultur in sich hatten. Auch die Wotan-Völker brachten ihre Anschauungen aus der atlantischen Kultur mit. Ihre Weiterentwicklung drückte sich aus in den Sagen, die ihnen die Druidenpriester beigebracht hatten. Besonders schön wird darin das Retten des Nibelungenhortes - der atlantischen Kultur - durch Wotan und Siegfried zum Ausdruck gebracht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":237,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/92/1905-12-03/p007"}],"english":["GA 92/1905-12-03/p007"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":237,"en_words":262,"ratio":1.11,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":3472,"original_word_count":3308,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Occult Truths of Old Myths and Legends","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA092/English/SOL2024/19051203p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
