man from atlantis (0/0 people found this helpful)
I'm not, or wasn't particularly interested in Atlantis, I ordered the book because it had good reviews. I found though, that it was really interesting, and I started developing an interest as I read. The evidence of cross-atlantic trade is facinating, and so is the link into Mexico, the Yucatan, and a trade network from Peru to the Caribbean. Interest is maintained right through. The research is v.good. It really delves deep into the source of the mystery, and there's no silly aliens/new age stuff. I think you'll like it, even if you have no interest in the subject.
Thought provoking end of an old mystery (4/4 people found this helpful)
Andrew Collins search for the legend of the lost city of Atlantis takes him to the four corners of the world.What starts of as a small clue ends up as a full blown hunt for Atalantis.It does get heavy going in parts,but stay with it as this book,to me anyway,is then one of the best written in a long line of Atlantis legend hunts.The outcome of the long hunt is a conspiracy theorists dream,with the Roman empire and cover ups involved.The whole book is thought provoking and an eye opener.
the most amazing and engaging book i have ever read (7/7 people found this helpful)
This book takes you on a long journey, which when you get to the end makes you as exhusated as if you had really travelled throughout the times that Collins writes about. It opened my eyes to a whole new realm of thought.
It is accesible and captivating, I couldn't put it down, as I devoured every sentence of this intriguing tale. If you have only the mildest of interest in ancient ideas, myths and legends. I guarentee that this book will fan that flame into a fire.
It gave me the thirst to discover ideas of this magnitude for myself, and just maybe awakened the true path within me.
Or perhaps it was simply so well written that i entered into the book and for the time i read it became at one with the author. That in itself makes it a remarkable book.
This book is selling so well (1/4 people found this helpful)
I am so pleased to see that this book has sold over 85,000 copies within just a few months. Surely it must be one of the best-selling books of its type recently published in Britain, if not all of Europe. Mr Collins has been writing astonishingly good books for years. It is about time he had this phenomenal best seller.
