Atlantis: The Antediluvian World

Although I am grateful to have been able to obtain a printed copy of this book, this particular version has some errors with regard to the printed images and page formatting. On some pages, the actual computer code appears on the page instead of what was actually supposed to be there! Margins and spaces are not properly placed in between text/images. You kinda get over it after a while, but there are a couple key parts of the book where it is more than annoying because it prevents the reader from being able to see the visual point the author is making. And that sucks because these are key to fully appreciating those particular points the author is making.This is better than nothing, but I'd shop around a bit before picking this one up. I plan on searching for a better version at some point.

A lot of great information in this. Use the Holy Spirit to discern what is true and false.

This book, though scientifically unsound by modern standards, is meant to be taken as a serious study. It does give a lot of historical accounts which are fascinating & is filled w/awesome wood-cut-looking pictures & strange symbols. The copy i bought was in really sad shape, so i got it for cheap; but i would recommend spending a moderate sum on a nice copy. This is old-school Parapsychology & thee definitive work on all things Atlantis (& ther are many!). The author may have been a bit touched, but aren't all good ones? Not to be taken as actual Anthropology, this book is still well worth the time & is very comprehensive on the subject-matter. Buy it!

A great story of Atlantis

Being a student of Atlantis I felt I should read this book since it's considered a classic on the subject.The theories about Atlantis range from the ordinary and mundane to the fantastic.Donnelly is definitely on the conventional, mundane side of that range. He views Atlantis as just an earlier culture that reached advanced stages of religion, government, and basic technological advances which we have now far surpassed.I am much further towards the new age, super race side of the range.I will give Donnelly credit for being well read on many subjects.However if you're looking for imaginative interpretations of the mythological legends surrounding Atlantis forget this book. Donnelly's interpretation of Hercules capturing the cattle of Geryon was that Hercules was a cattle rustler and he killed some guy and ran off with his cows.I find it puzzling that people quote Plato's account of Atlantis so often but then disbelieve everything Plato says.Donnelly calls the Greeks a 'degenerate race' and their mythology 'barbarian recollections'.Rather mythology uses metaphors to explain metaphysical concepts that are real.I skipped a few parts of the book based on the Editor's notes about Donnelly's information being worthless and inaccurate.Jeff Marzano Fulcanelli: Master Alchemist: Le Mystere des Cathedrales, Esoteric Intrepretation of the Hermetic Symbols of The Great Work (Le Mystere Des Cathedrales ... of the Hermetic Symbols of Great Work) The Mystery of the Crystal Skulls: Unlocking the Secrets of the Past, Present, and Future The Giza Power Plant : Technologies of Ancient Egypt Edgar Cayce's Atlantis and Lemuria: The Lost Civilizations in the Light of Modern Discoveries Gods of Eden: Egypt's Lost Legacy and the Genesis of Civilization The Giza Death Star Secrets of the Ancient World: Exploring the Insights of America's Most Well-Documented Psychic, Edgar Cayce The Atlantis Dialogue: Plato's Original Story of the Lost City, Continent, Empire, Civilization Initiation Initiation in the Great Pyramid (Astara's Library of Mystical Classics)

Good read!

I really enjoyed this book! Donnelly makes a convincing case for the existance of Atlantis.

Simply cool

Thanks.

A fascinating book, very interesting research, well worth acquiring this book for reference and research.Would like to get the original that I have the e copy of.

I was pleased the book arrived quickly, not so pleased when I looked through the pages. The information conveyed by the written word, makes reference to pictures and alphabets. It was a massive let-down, to find there were no pictures, (which are referred to in the text), and of course which add, (as Telly Savalas once said), a thousand words. (To be fair, I did contact the company and they told me there were no pictures.) I thought I might be able to live with this and perhaps source the pictures on the net. However, on further inspection, I saw, in a number of places, the "#" sign. This was being used to replace various symbols and alphabetical letters, these being used to compare other languages and show similarity in either symbol or meaning. Personally, I felt the absence of these comparisons, was even more annoying than the loss of pictures. It might have taken a bit more time to compose the type, but surely the various symbols could have ben found or "made", and inserted into the text? Not having accepted the book, I did not read it, so I cannot say if the text was complete, but I would expect it would have been. If the seller had pointed out these facts in the advertising, I would have decided to look for another copy that included them, hence two stars.

AVOID THIS BOOK.1. This version is missing the 130 illustrations included in the original book.2. Tabular data is misaligned and illegible.3. I just bot this version "Atlantis: The Antediluvian World: Fully Illustrated Paperback – Dec 9 2008" found on Amazon here - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1440493618/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Excellent book. An interesting read.
