Many think the unusual linguistics and genetics associated with the Basques—being markedly different from the Indo-European people and most likely having a different origin—make a strong case for associating them with Atlantis, and the Basque people have had historic links to sorcery and witchcraft. Merlin, also spelled Merlyn and Myrrdin, and the Lady of the Lake were priest and priestess of the Atlantean religion, coming from the western lands.
