5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on Atlantis, July 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Secret of Atlantis (Hardcover)

If you read any one book on the topic of Atlantis, this should be it. It's a scholarly work that covers scientific ground that no one else even thinks to tackle. In particular, the late Dr. Muck's discussion of the Gulf Stream and climatologic evidence is persuasive. (It should be tested against the hypothesis of a polar axial shift to ensure validity with regard to location of currents vis a vis the Gulf Stream. His same ideas and techniques applied to Siberia could add further weight to the axial displacement hypothesis as well, or refute it.) More recent evidence about the astronomic event that shattered a small comet or asteroid into over half a million pieces, crossed North America from Alaska and crashed into the Sargasso Sea during the correct time frame (as evidenced by the "Carolina Bays") fully supports Muck's thesis and lends greater credibility to it. This out of print book should be reissued!

By A Customer

This review is from: Secret of Atlantis (Paperback)

I have this book for several years and this one of the best in this subject. Author writes very seriously and gives you very good thesis. Anyone should consider this book as one serious aproach which is giving the right arguments. It is impossible to deny what author says. I warmly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book written on Atlantis, April 21, 2007

It's not even a close call. This is easily the best book ever written on Atlantis. Speculation is kept to a minimum while scientific analysis prevails. Muck surveys ocean currents, plant and animal distributions and geological evidence and concldues that there is no other scientific explanation available---there must have been a large island or small continet in the Atlantic that has disappeared.
