The Atlantean figures are four anthropomorphic statues belonging to the Toltec culture in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. These figures are "massive statues of Toltec warriors".[1] They take their post-Columbian name from the European tradition of similar Atlas or Atalante figures in classical architecture.
Though the most famous Atlantean figures reside in
Tula, the
Olmecs were the first to use Atlantean figures on a relief discovered in Potrero Nuevo.
[2] Mayan sculptors also created "Atlantean" figures in
Chichen Itza. Furthermore, the
Aztecs also created warrior statues strongly inspired by these Atlantean figures in Tula.
According to Carlos Castaneda the Atlan Warriors were Woman Warriors of the Dreaming world. The items in their pouch where power objects.
