Too often, her speculation is stated as fact. ( ) I have to say, I found this book to be a bit of a laugh when I read it while I was doing some research on Atlantis. It was not altogether very informative, but then, I've always been a skeptic when it comes to aliens visiting Earth, so this book was a bit, um, well, unhelpful in that regard. However, it was very amusing in the midst of my otherwise somber research. (I actually did read the account as put forth by Plato in his Timaeus and Critias dialogue.) Seeing as how no one can actually prove or disprove the myth thus far, I suppose aliens and various other explanations are still viable, but it was certainly not a useful book in all seriousness for a research paper. Nonetheless, I did enjoy it more than the one star I gave it would suggest, but it was only because of the absurdity of the suggestions made in the book and the fact there was little to no research to suggest any of it was actually true other than in the author's mind. no reviews | add a review
The legend of lost Atlantis turns to fact as Shirley Andrews synthesizes a wealth of information from more than one hundred classical and Atlantean scholars, scientists, and psychics to describe the country and its inhabitants. Review the scientific and geological evidence for an Atlantic continent, which refutes the popular notion that Atlantis was located in the Mediterranean. Follow the history of Atlantis from its beginnings to its destruction, and see a portrait of Atlantean society: its religion, architecture, art, medicine, and life style. Explore shamanism, the power of crystals, ancient techniques for health and healing, pyramid energy, ley lines, the influence of extraterrestrials and the origin of the occult sciences. Learn what happened to the survivors of Atlantis, where they migrated, and how the survivors and their descendants made their mark on cultures the world over. No library descriptions found.
