Summary: Worth Waiting For
Comment: Worth Waiting For
Another jewel full of original research from Rand Flem-Ath. His first book WHEN THE SKY FELL (a concise classic) was the first in the surge of popular ancient history books and provided a lot of fuel for other books and a lot of food for thought. I enjoyed Wilson and Flem-Ath's friendly style and although radical in many of its ideas the book deftly delivers its points without undue sensationalism or self-aggrandisement on the part of the authors. There is always the sense of being invited along on the journey of discovery and whether its the fascinating account of the lost opportunity to make Giza the location of the prime meridian and possible buried jungle cities or the speculations (and detailed measurements for those who want to examine it themselves) about the 'blueprint' and the evidence of an ancient worldwide grid, THE ATLANTIS BLUEPRINT has been worth waiting for.

Summary: From: Kirkus (1 January 2001)
Comment: "An exhaustively detailed argument that the legendary lost city was located just north of what is today Antarctica and that its highly evolved citizens traveled the world building and mapping sacred sites from Egypt to Mexico. Drawing extensively on history, science, and old maps, as well as offering their own speculative theories about the disappearance of Atlantis, the authors offer not only a new location for the city but also assert that civilization is much older than currently thought. Plato mentioned Atlantis in his writings, they argue, and the notion of a civilization that suffered catastrophic destruction is found in many early writings, from the Bible to Sumerian tablets. Atlantis, thought to exist either in the western Mediterranean or in the Atlantic, was assumed to be a victim of either a comet or the events surrounding the Biblical flood. Flem-Ath theorizes here that the North Pole was once situated in the Hudson Bay, that the Antarctic climate was temperate, and that Atlantis flourished there until catastrophic movements occurred in the Earth's crust around 9600 B.C. Observing the movements of the stars and planets, the Atlanteans had predicted and prepared for the upheaval and were able to flee, carrying their advanced knowledge to places as far flung as Egypt, Central America, and the Indus valley. To preserve their lore, they built monuments that became the sites of such sacred places as Machu Picchu, the pyramids, and Stonehenge. Mathematical calculations, detours into the founding of the Freemasons and the Knight Templar, who hid their secrets in a small French village where Jesus may have fled with Mary Magdalene after surviving the crucifixion, all make for a dizzying but stimulating theoretical extravaganza. The authors are most persuasive when demonstrating that intelligent society dates back further than is usually accepted."

Summary: Illogical and usupported
Comment: There is no evidence of any kind that a highly developed civilization ever existed on Antartica. Period.
The only good thing I can say about this is that it is better than the Flem Ath fantasy novel "When the Sky Fell".
