'Conventional wisdom' (which is an oxymoron) tells us that it has been explained away. Perhaps conventional science with its conventional paradigms is right. It was just an angry volcano on a small island that lost its top and entered into legend, thanks to Plato and some annoying ancient Egyptian priests. Sure. Of course that's what happened. But our past keeps getting pushed back further and further. The mystery remains and this book tells us all about it. Intriguing. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
The romantic legend of Atlantis has captured imaginations since Plato first told of a glorious island in the Atlantic that sank beneath the waves. Speculation has abounded ever since, and scientists who formerly dismissed the possibility that Atlantis ever existed were obliged to reconsider--partly because of the author of this book. Lewis Spence (1874-1955) wrote five books about Atlantis, and this one is considered his best. Spence sifted through a tremendous body of research in fields from mythology and comparative religion to geography, geology, and archeology. The result is the most authoritative study ever published on the history, geography, animal life, government, and religion of this fabled island. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
