Summary: Classic Charles Berlitz!
Review: A logical argument about Atlantis minus all the New Age garbage. There aren't any references to channeling, ESP, Edgar Cayce, the Pleiadians, technical remote viewing, Nostrodomus, or Ed Dames... thank goodness. This book if for people who wish to engage in good scholarly research.

Summary: Empires DID exist 50,000 years ago!
Review: I have to disagree with the previous review.
On one point I agree, Atlantis was not in the Atlantic Ocean (at least the Ocean as we know it today).A theory on the location of Atlantis I believe to be the most accurate is that it is located of the coast of South China/Indonesia.
Take a look at a map of Indonesia and think about some
very simple questions: "Why was China more advanced than the rest of the world for so long?", "Why is there more of a chance of it being there than the rest of the world?" Keep in mind, ALL seas were considered to be the Atlantic ocean. And for the skeptics:
Consider, for a moment, the city of Troy. Conventional
wisdom had maintained for centuries that Troy, discussed in Homer's great work the "Iliad," was a figment of Greek legend and few scholars took its possible existence as a serious matter. And, then, along comes a German archaelogist named Schliemann, who in 1870 defies conventional wisdom and excavates the city of Troy.

Summary: Mother of empires
Review: I remember picking up this book years ago when I was in seventh grade and it still fascinates me today. Charles Berlitz makes a very readable and logical argument for the existence of Atlantis by revealing that many disparate cultures shared a legend about a lost civilization that was far ahead of its time. The photographs of other archeological sites are also interesting. I would suggest picking up a copy of Discovery of Atlantis by Robert Sarmast for a more current theory on the Atlantis legend along with this well written and enjyoyable book.
