The Flood from Heaven: Deciphering the Atlantis Legend

Eberhard Zangger

4.9/5 (31803 ratings)

Description:A popularly held view of the Atlantis legend is that it describes a continent in the midst of the Atlantic, containing an advanced civilization, submerged over 11,500 years ago. This misconception--along with others that have placed Atlantis in places like Greenland, Sri Lanka & Sweden--originates from the long-winded transmission of the legend, which was originally retrieved from Egyptian hieroglyphic inscriptions & eventually recorded by Plato c. 350 BC. Now Dr Zangger, a geoarcheologist, with years of fieldwork experience in the Mediterranean, has discovered the true nature of Plato's story & the real location of Atlantis in his book, The Flood from Heaven, which draws on modern science, legends & ancient poetry to solve one of the world's mysteries. The story of Atlantis is actually an ancient Egyptian account of the Trojan War. Under the auspices of Stanford U. & the German Archeological Institute, he conducted a geoarcheological research program in Greece between 1984 & '88, where drill cores taken near Bronze Age citadels led to this conclusion. Like Homer, Plato was relating the story of a war involving bronze weapons, chariots & 1200 ships. Both Homer & Plato discuss the fact that the Greeks, despite desertion by allies & deadly perils, were able to lead the forces of a united army to a victory in a land, like Troy, characterized by its position at narrow straits of difficult navigability, hot & cold springs, strong northern winds & artificial canals. These similarities & insights as well as others form a theory of such significance that it will have as much impact on the study of Mediterranean prehistory as did Schliemann's discovery of Troy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
