Hmm...Yes and no. It's based on the 'visions' of some crackpot seer who claims to know the history of Atlantis. The whole album is, in fact.
Alnantees, in this case, refers to Egypt, as does the Kingdom of Gold. The song takes place a short time after the fall of Atlantis, as Ma'at, the bringer of balance (the child mentioned in the song) tries to enlighten humanity. In the end, she fails (the last part is sung from the point of view of the 'adversary'), but she does manage to hide away some of her secrets...which lays the groundwork for the song 'Rediscovery'.
