Twenty-four centuries after Plato left us his intriguing remarks about Atlantis, Edgar Cayce began to talk, in an altered psychic state, about a lost civilization on Lemuria, Atlantis' Pacific precurser. Frank Joseph now takes a look, via archeology and other fields, at how modern discoveries are bolstering the idea that Atlantis and Lemuria really existed, the disturbing parallels between those civilizations and our own, and what those parallels may be telling us.

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Edgar Cayce's Atlantis and Lemuria: The Lost Civilizations in the Light of Modern Discoveries (Paperback)
In Edgar Cayce's Atlantis And Lemuria: The Lost Civilizations In The Light Of Modern Discoveries, Frank Joseph (editor-in-Chief of the popular science magazines "Ancient American") examines through the means of archaeological and other fields, how modern discovers are bolstering the idea that Atlantis and Lemuria really existed and were not simply literary creations of Plato some twenty-four centuries ago. Revealed are disturbing parallels between those ancient civilizations and our own contemporary societies. The engaging and compelling text is enhanced with a photo section of fascinating areas currently under scientific investigation for sings of these lost cultures and peoples. Edgar Cayce's Atlantis And Lemuria is highly recommended reading for students of archaeology, antiquity, and the metaphysical prophecies and visions of the late Edgar Cayce.

This review is from: Edgar Cayce's Atlantis and Lemuria: The Lost Civilizations in the Light of Modern Discoveries (Paperback)
I feel this is a great book, especially for followers of Edgar Cayce. I don't understand why some other reviewers said that this book somehow corrects what Edgar Cayce said. To me it is in complete agreement with what Cayce said, even to the point of devoting an entire chapter to people who were identified in the Cayce readings as having lived in Atlantis. They had names like 'Aa-rr-ll-uu' and 'Sululon'.
Scientific evidence does not exist to prove things like the Atlanteans' crystal technology, their ability to travel through time and space, etc.. Since the author is a researcher he doesn't claim that scientific evidence exists where none does exist. But I don't see where he tries to disprove these fantastic but possibly true theories either. This book discusses the Atlantis that Plato spoke of but by then Atlantis was much like the other races that existed around 1200 BC. This was a much different Atlantis than the one Cayce spoke of with its crystal technology, death rays, genetically engineered 'things', etc.. The islands of Atlantis sank over a period of thousands of years, not all at once if I understand the legends correctly. I believe that proof of Atlantean technology does exist. It's been sitting on the Giza plateau for thousands of years. It's called 'the great pyramid'. In his book The Giza Power Plant Christopher Dunn proves that the great pyramid was a form of nuclear reactor. Dunn's book proves that the great pyramid was built by people who had god like powers and knowledge of time and space. It was Edgar Cayce in another incarnation as the high priest Ra Ta who built the great pyramid. The sacred geometry for building the great pyramid was given to Ra Ta by another god like being named Horus. This idea is consistent with 'Edgar Cayce's Atlantis And Lemuria'. This book indicates that these god like beings from Atlantis and Lemuria became the mythical gods of later races such as the Incas and Myans. Those later races talk of 'gods' who came from the sea and taught them about new technologies, astronomy, etc.. Eventually most of this knowledge was lost as these civilizations de-volved to the point of like the Incas began the practice of human sacrifice. There's a big part of the Atlantis story that's still enshrouded in mystery. All we have is a few statements from Cayce's psychic readings and a few archeological sites under water. You get glimpses of these mysterious topics when in the Cayce readings it refers to things like 'visitations of those from the outer spheres'. This would seem to imply that Atlantis was being visited by beings from other planets, other dimensions, etc.. This book offers a comparison between what happened to Atlantis and our modern world. Atlantis was destroyed by the greed of individuals. For them this was catastrophic because their greed could be transformed into energy by the terrible crystals. The final paragraph of this book is: "Everyone senses a crossroads just ahead. When we reach it, which example will we follow - Lemuria or Atlantis." I would answer with a quote from a book called 'UFO Contact From Planet Iarga' which was supposedly communicated to someone by people from another planet called Iarga. The Iargans stated: "The human race lives for the present since it really has no future." The Iargans may mean that our human race doesn't have a long term future. Even if we last for another thousand years that's a relatively short time in relation to the universe. I think most people would agree that many industries have a relatively short term view of using the earth's resources. Maybe somehow everyone knows that what the Iargans said is true. The Iargans also said that sometimes when people see flying saucers those are our ancestors from Atlantis travelling through time to see us.

False premises,
By A Customer
This review is from: Edgar Cayce's Atlantis and Lemuria: The Lost Civilizations in the Light of Modern Discoveries (Paperback)
The main problem with this book is that it rests on the author's quirky insistence that Atlantis sank in 1200 BC. This does not agree with Edgar Cayce or Plato, or any of the scholars that have devoted years of study to uncovering historical information about Atlantis. Joseph follows Plato's guidance and places Atlantis in the vicinity of the Atlantic Ridge, but there is no evidence that a large portion of the Atlantic Ridge was above the surface after 10,000 B.C. and a great deal of proof that some of it was above the surface before that time. He ignores the Cayce Readings that distinctly name dates and changes some of the Readings to reflect his ideas. One must ignore most of what Joseph has written, based as it is on false premise. For a careful compilation of information from Edgar Cayce, scholars and scientists about the land and people of Atlantis, I suggest "Atlantis: Insights From a Lost Civilization."
