In 590 BC, "a very old Egyptian Priest," named Sonchis, revealed the exact location, history, physical description and final destruction of Atlantis, to Solon who was the wisest of the seven Greek Sages. Sonchis gave a transcript of these historical records to Solon. One hundred and eighty years later the history of Atlantis was recorded in the Dialogues of Plato, titled Critias and Timaeus.

This image of Sonchis, the aged priest of the temple of Seshat in Sais, Egypt was created by Ernist Nelson. He created the priest's enigmatic face by morphing ancient Egyptian death masks. The final touches were drawn from Ernist's own psycho-genetic memories and impressions. Ernist Nelson has been a member of the Atlantis Motherland Project for 10 years and has created many of the images in the Atlantis Motherland book and website.
