The Mythical World of Atlantis

12. The Crystal

"In the coffin lay an amulet of curios and exotic design, which had apparently been worn around the sleeper's neck...a small piece of green jade. We recognized it as the thing hinted of in the forbidden Necronomicon of the mad Arab Alhazred."

Lovecraft,

The Hound





"Milo helps Kida uncover the nature of the Heart of Atlantis: it supplies the Atlanteans with power and longevity through the crystals worn around their necks.

I know, I know, it sounds like the ravings of a mad man. But so did the Necronomicon and the Scrolls of Aziz and people killed to get their hands on 'em. However, does it not strike you funny that the similarities between the two fictional grimoires is so spectacular?

It's indeed possible the writers of Disney's Atlantis' intention was not to make a reference to Lovecraft's fictional book then again, who knows for sure?
