Species with Amnesia: Our Forgotten History

by Robert Sepehr

Highly advanced civilizations have been here before us, just to be destroyed by some great global catastrophe. But for each race that has died out, another has taken its place, with a selected few holding on to the memories and sacred knowledge of the past race. In our vanity we think we have discovered some of the great truths of science and technology, but we are in fact only just beginning to rediscover the profound wisdom of past civilizations. In many ways, we are like an awakening Species with Amnesia, yearning to reclaim our forgotten past.

Reviews

[Josephine (biblioseph)]

YouTube recommended this author's video to me, and while at first intrigued, his conflation of several ostensibly 'white' peoples in 'non-white' areas of the world is worrisome to me. Seeing this book shelved as 'wpww' and 'eugenics' does not make me feel any better. I doubt I'll ever read it.

A fascinating read by an independent author. I love his easy to digest writing style and voicing. Short and sweet.

Robert Sepehr does a nice job of tying evidence together from many scientific domains to make his case for Atlantis being a real place. I think he left out some piece that would have tied everything together nicely -- like genetics for the caucasian mummies in South America -- but he still makes a compelling argument.

But if Atlantis was real, and the people who are in the "know" have known it for decades (or even centuries), then why hide it? That part of his story was weak...what would be the motivation for a worldwide conspiracy to hide evidence of Atlantis?

A very enjoyable read.

Two and a half millennia ago, Plato wrote a book we have no reason to assume is not fiction about a conversation he was not present at. In the course of the conversation, one character mentions that his grandfather had been told by his father that his father (so the character's great-great-grandfather) had claimed to have been to Egypt and heard a rumor there about the existence of ancient records that tell about Atlantis. If you read that game of telephone and only heard “according to ancient Egyptian records, Atlantis blah blah,” Species with Amnesia is the book is for you.

Whenever Sepehr blunders into an area I’m not completely ignorant of, he is just clearly wrong. If (as Sepehr affirms) Japanese (p. 85) or Basque (p. 81) speakers could understand the (allegedly related) languages of Central America, this would be an easily verifiable fact that would overthrow not only all knowledge of human migration but also all of the field of historical linguistics—languages do not remain static over so many millennia, especially absent a writing system!

We’re supposed to be impressed by the fact that “many ancient peoples give remarkably similar names to an island or continent formerly situated in the Atlantic Ocean” (p. 61)—but Atlantis is really famous, and how do we know the Basque word “Atlaintika” isn’t just the Basque word for Atlantis. The Basque call Japan “Japonia” (thank you, Google translate)—does that mean the ancient Basque knew of a land on the other side of the globe? For that matter, “Atli” is not a Scandinavian word for an island or continent or a place of any sort—it’s the Norse form of Attila the Hun—and while the Aztec “Aztlan” is a lost place, there’s no indication it’s an island in the Atlantic. It’s just another location with some letters in a convenient order, like SeATTLe.

Here’s Sepehr quoting Mabel Royce (p. 75): “All other earthly primates also have this Rh factor. But this leaves out the people who are Rh negative. If all mankind evolved from the same ancestor their blood would be compatible. Where did the Rh negatives come from? If they are not the descendants of prehistoric man, could they be the descendants of the ancient astronauts?”

Mutation, perhaps? But if we ignore mutation, then Occam’s razor demands ancient astronauts, doesn’t it? By my count, this was the first mention of ancient astronauts in the book, and, man, the text does not build to it; it just springs ancient astronauts upon the reader, because what else could be the source of any change?

In (the quoted source) Blood of the Gods, Royce at least mentions the possibility of mutation before discarding it for no real reason. Sepehr leaves that part out in his quote, so we’re left with a bad summary of a bad source. But they’re all bad sources. I mean, Plato is good by some definitions of the word good, but he’s no better evidence for Atlantis than his Symposium is evidence that humans were once hermaphrodites. Edgar Cayce? “Congressman” Ignatius Donnelly? These are not good places to start. Could it be that all the books I was steeped in in my youth are, in fact, bad influences?

I don’t know anything about haploids, so I’m not in a position to call Sepehr out, but of course his willingness to build a castle on sand is hardly encouraging. I will say that whenever Sepehr talks about haploids he sounds like a guy at a party trying really hard not to sound racist but constantly winking at you regardless.

If you are not satisfied with the official (flawed) explanation of our origins, this is a must-read book. I love Robert's videos, and this book is a great addition or even a starting point. This book goes into more details and connects the dots of our ancient past. It also contains a list all the sources used.

I've been watching the videos of Robert Sepehr for a while. They are excellent. However reading his book took everything to a higher level. His research is so detailed. He connects dots in a powerful way. I'll certainly read his other work. He opens up also interest for his bibliography. All in all a great read.

A book of suppressed history about a people who have been pressed to ignore their own heritage and deny their own greatness to appease the lower castes.

[Aleksandar Jovcic · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely amazing. Truly Robert’s best work to date.
Thorough examination of Darwin’s theory of evolution, the out of Africa theory and stunningly convincing rebuttals for both.
He keeps a very neutral tone which is hard to do, then presents the true origin of man and the white race, (Atlantis) in a slow and gradual manner. Still there are many conclusions jumped into but that requires a leap of faith to understand because it’s by far the best explanation for the origins of this “multi continental, highly advanced White Sea faring race”.
So if you want the answer with no bs and convincing evidence, read here but it goes against a lot of mainstream topics and ideas so it makes you question a lot.
The only criticism I would have is of the final few pages which delve into his criticism of modern religion where he repeats that Christianity came from pagan religions (using the Mithras, Osiris, sun god comparison) which is obviously false lies and is used by (them) to subvert smart conspiracy theorist Christian’s away from god.

When I confronted Robert one time in a YouTube live chat I asked him about why he lies about Jesus and he replied “I merely interpret the facts differently”. Whether he is a federal agent or not this work is incredibly informative and eye opening with plenty of figures and quotes to back up his points and add to its readabiltiy.

Interesante

Una cautivadora teoría de los principios de la civilización. Sorprendentes coincidencias de la historia que se encuentran por todo el mundo.

[Fed · Rating 2 out of 5]

I don’t care if people came from Africa or Atlantis. I don’t care if we share the same origin or not.
All I know is that life on earth keeps changing.
races move, lands/ people get conquered, colonized, enslaved, killed.
It happened in the past and it happens today!

Racist POS writes a book without any merit. Pass on this title.

BEST BOOK EVER

It has some interesting ideas but was short on substance.

I could only find the Spanish version. Something about how Rh positive/ Rh negative is proof hybrids don’t work.

[Sarah · Rating 2 out of 5]

I don't know what I expected from this, but I was bored and disappointed. Of course there have been highly advanced global civilizations on earth prior to the present, likely destroyed by some worldwide catastrophe. I think I was hoping for some new or more in-depth information, but everything in this book I have heard of before, and in more entertaining ways.

[Lucas Sotkasiira · Rating 4 out of 5]

Much of what is written has already been covered in his videos. Some sources should be taken with a grain of salt. Otherwise, it is an interesting book on intriguing topics, in which he attempts to connect myths with reality.

[Briscoe Lang · Rating 3 out of 5]

Species with Amnesia by Robert Sepehr argues in favor of an existence of a lost city of Atlantis, and that all advanced civilizations can trace their origins back to the lost city. Sepehr provides a bibliography and argues his points convincingly. The books uses cave art, genetics, argues for the existanc of a mystery astrological religion, also uses linguistics, fossils, and artifacts to convey his argument. I enjoyed the book except for the sections about genetics, which i found tedious. I recommend it to those that are curious about Atlantis and the origins of the modern and 'ancient' civilizations which, according to Sepehr, all can be traced back to one place, Atlantis.

EDIT 2025: Sepehr's newer content is blatantly racist and poorly researched. I find it off-putting and would not recommend any of it for any honest thinker.
