Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Clearly written, as only a journalist or professional writer can, on challenging theories about events, structures, relations in ancient history. Highlights scholarly infighting, prejudice, and die-in- the-ditch 'theories' in areas where speculation is presented as factual matter. Overall, interesting but not persuasive. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Inspired by the revelation that the Sphinx had been weathered by water and not by wind-blown sand and was, therefore, thousands of years older than the oldest civilisation known to man, Colin Wilson sets out to explore the remote depths of history. The compelling argument of this bestselling book is that, thousands of years before Ancient Egypt and Greece held sway, there was a great civilisation whose ships travelled the world and who possessed some knowledge system that offered a unified view of the universe, alien to modern man. In this fascinating exploration of the world at a time when, according to Plato, the 'lost civilisation' of Atlantis was destroyed, the author makes a ground-breaking attempt to understand how these long-forgotten peoples thought, felt and communicated on a universal plane.

Still a literal creationist though, which I'm sure the author would find less then satisfactory, but whatever. We shall see if I can form a connection between the two. Those in favor of theistic evolution seemed to be getting on fairly well in their own way.
As far as the actual book goes, for me at least it seems like a good introduction to the ideas presented therein. It does seem to get progressively more out there near the end. The actual conclusion was obviously a product of the 90's. It would be interesting to see how it might have changed after 2001. ( )
