The intervention of the Ahrimanic element followed after that, during the Atlantean period.

And just as a knowledge of the human being was required in the fourth post-Atlantean period in order to understand the biblical symbol of Lucifer, so today the fifth post-Atlantean period needs this knowledge in order to begin to understand the counter-symbol and be able to present it to the human soul in an adequately sketched, if incomplete, fashion.

But what he talks about with Atlantis is... that it was very similar to Blavatsky's discussion of the fourth root race.
S

Blavatsky talks about Atlantis being within that fourth root race, that time period of humanity.

If there's a beginning of humanity and an end of humanity, Blavatsky talked about it as root races and that there's like seven periods of time where humanity evolves.
