"O Chekon, thou golden city of Atlantis, thy towers are overthrown, and thin altars are buried beneath the waves of the mighty ocean.  Thy sanctuaries became an habitation for jackals and vipers, and thy highways became streets of iniquity.  Behold the word of Ptah was spoken and the Earth opened wide its mouth and swallowed those evil ones, that not one remained.  Alas! ye golden domes and glistening columns, weep for the destruction that has come upon you.

Weep for all eternity, for in thine awful desolation shalt thou rise up again from thy watery grave.
Behold thy voice shall be like unto the voice of the harlot crying aloud and saying 'Behold, out of my whoredom hath come destruction.  Take heed, ye nations of Earth, lest ye fall into greater tribulation.  The fair city of Checkon, the first city of
Atlantis, is overthrown.  The habitation of Ptah is no more.' "
