4.0 out of 5 stars A astonishingly well balanced book on such an earthly matter, August 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Atlantis: Myth or Reality (Arkana) (Paperback)

Murry Hope`s book on the question whether Atlantis is Myth or Reality is an astonishingly well-balanced work for someone who was a founder of the Atlantean Society and therefore tends to be biased towards the very existence of Atlantis .As an Atlantean from the heart of Europe actually living on the remaining islands of Mu right now so to speak(though I tend to challenge the existence of both continents), it was a pleasure to read, but the book also gave me again the insight as so many books on the subject do, that the more we might feel the real presence of Atlantis the more we wind up in mystery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Atlantis: Myth or Reality, May 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Atlantis: Myth or Reality (Arkana) (Paperback)

I thought it was great. It helped my a lot with a science project on the supposed reality of Atlantis. It really cleared up a few problems I had from other sources. Best of all, though, was the ease of read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent survey of Myth but placement of Atlantis Wrong., September 19, 1999

By 

George Erikson - See all my reviews

This review is from: Atlantis: Myth or Reality (Arkana) (Paperback)

Hope writes knowingly on the nature of Atlantis and Atlanteans and of
the world-wide myths that survived the Golden Age. Unfortunately,
Hope's account suffers from a reliance on Ignatius Donnelly's 19th
century placement of Atlantis as "opposed to the Pillars of
Heracles (Straits of Gibraltar) rather than "across" from
them as Plato wrote. Thus Hope, like many others, posits Atlantis as a
sunken island in the Atlantic (geologially unsustainable), rather than
as the "island-continent" Plato described.
