 While
in the trance state, Edgar Cayce’s ability to peer into the past
with uncanny psychic accuracy was demonstrated repeatedly. This
type of information is called “retrocognition” and the Cayce readings
attest to the variety of material available in this manner: previous
happenings in an individual’s life, including accidents or forgotten
traumas; as well as ancient history, including the geological
evolution of the planet and details of tribes and civilizations
that predate recorded history.
For example, more than eleven years before the Dead
Sea Scrolls were found in 1947, Edgar Cayce provided a great
deal of information on a Jewish sect called the Essenes. Cayce
claimed that in the Essene society men and women lived and worked
together. Scholars, however, believed that the Essenes were a
monastic society composed exclusively of men. It was not until
archaeological excavations occurred after Cayce’s death that his
psychic information was verified. Through
the use of retrocognition, the Cayce readings provide a wealth
of insights into the ancient world. More than simply discussing
hidden archeological sights and uncovered records of forgotten
civilizations, Edgar Cayce claimed that the history of humankind
went back some ten million years! Although much of this material
may be impossible to verify, sometimes contemporary research has
uncovered evidence to confirm information given in Cayce’s trance
state. As one example, a number of readings discussed the fact
that the Nile had changed its course over eons and had once emptied
into the Atlantic Ocean:
 Reading
#364-13:
Edgar Cayce: ...The Nile entered into the Atlantic Ocean. What is
now the Sahara was an inhabited land and very fertile. What is now
the central portion of this country, or the Mississippi basin, was
then all in the ocean; only the plateau was existent, or the regions
that are now portions of Nevada, Utah and Arizona formed the greater
part of what we know as the United States...
Reading #276-2:
Edgar Cayce: ...In the one before this we find again in this same
land now called Egypt (this before the mountains rose in the south,
and when the waters called the Nile then emptied into what is NOW
the Atlantic Ocean)...
Reading #5748-6:
Edgar Cayce: ...In those periods when the first change had come
in the position of the land, when the Nile (or Nole, then) emptied
into what is now the Atlantic Ocean, on the Congo end of the country.
What is now as the Sahara was a fertile land... As if to confirm some of the
above, an article published in Science (August 1986), reported that
the Shuttle Imaging Radar from the Space Shuttle had discovered
previously unknown river valleys beneath the driest part of the
Sahara. Through satellite imaging and on-site arch aeological investigations,
it appeared as though the present day Nile had changed its course,
once flowing across the Sahara, through Africa, and into the Atlantic
Ocean! Only time will tell how many more of the readings historical
claims regarding such places as Atlantis, ancient Egypt, and ancient
Persia, will eventually be verified. The A.R.E./Edgar Cayce Foundation's recent
satellite project was the first comprehensive analysis of all subsurface
features around Bimini. The project covered 630 square miles and
imaging was done via the IKONOS satellite. Via special processing,
imaging was able to look at the seabed contours at a depth of approximately
75 feet. The precise location of all features that were identified
is easily determined via special program.
