La Atlántida : historia de los atlantes

The place of origin of the Tlavatli or 2nd sub-race was an island off the west coast of Atlantis. The spot is marked on the 1st map with the figure 2. Thence they spread into Atlantis proper, chiefly across the middle of the continent, gradually however tending northwards towards the stretch of coast facing the promontory of Greenland.

[Vicki · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book is interesting, there are references to even older books that tell the history of mankind. The movement of man around the world is explained as part of the people from Atlantis relocating and beginning civilizations all over the globe. The people from Atlantis according to William Scott-Elliot were red, yellow, black and white. The worship of all nations are supposed to be based from the religion of the parent continent.

Many of the animals that live in Chili and America were speculated to be descendants of the animals from Atlantis. The author believes that the world has regenerated its self at least five times. There are interesting points and some that may be truth, but for now it seems to be speculation. There was too much speculation and not enough artifacts and proof for their ideas. I believe Atlantis did exist and I believe that the people helped to populate the earth. The other confusing thoughts did not make a lot of sense to me.

It is worth reading or listening to on Audio Books as I did. The narrator had a bit of an accent. Some of the words at first were hard to understand but once you get used to that accent, it becomes easier. Her voice is pleasant and her tone is steady.

If you are curious about Atlantis, then I think this is a good book to read or listen to, in order to get a different perspective.

A mind shattering account of an alternate telling of our beginnings. The details of mankind's history come via astral projection, a parapsychological tool that the author claims to have mastered and experienced. Now, it's hard to tell how accurate Elliot's account is, or if he had gotten the information from other sources, but the detail is astounding. I recommend this read to anyone interested in alternate history. And the ancient civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria.

Baseless and without proofs, why would he even bother to write this?

i went into this expecting a plot but unfortunately it reads more like an extended research paper

A delightful read

Many surprises and much research. I was especially intrigued with the Akkadian/Basque heritages. I highly recommend this book to all those who enjoy Atlantis mysteries and cultures.

utter nonsense

In the famous words of Dana... "Meh."

I found this book on YouTube and thought it'd be good. The lady's accent was hard to understand, and it didn't make sense.

Oh well.
