5.0 out of 5 stars Quite Interesting!, April 23, 2005
This is the first book I've read on the subject of Atlantis, and I found it quite interesting indeed!

Because I am not sure about my thoughts re: aliens being behind the amazing achievments attributed to this "lost civilization", I was happy to find that the author does not dwell on this possibility (although it's clear that she does believe in the theory of aliens bringing their technological info. to several areas during the time of Atlantis). Instead, the idea of aliens is brought up only briefly, and then scattered here & there throughout the book - but not in an overbearing sort of way.

I read this book at the same time as "Finger-Prints of the Gods", by Graham Hancock (In fact, I am still finishing up reading "Fingerprints"), and I found that these books tend to complement eachother. The one main difference being that Graham Hancock takes the reader on a journey with him to places where there is still evidence that such amazingly brilliant cultures existed in our far-reaching past. Also, I have not yet come across any mention of aliens in his book (although I haven't completed it yet).

I would recommend this book, as well as "Fingerprints of the Gods", to anyone interested in this subject. Both of these books have a lot to offer and, in the end, will make the reader think about the various possibilities, and come up with their own theories. In my view, this is what a good book does - encourages the reader to really think about things both as they were, and as they currently are. And both of these books "fit the bill".

5.0 out of 5 stars Three Worlds Down, One More to Go?, October 28, 2000
By "billiusmax" (Pacifica, CA USA) - See all my reviews
First of all, let me state this was a wonderful, insightful, and very easy book to read. Amen! Shirley Andrews has done a really excellent job of stating her hypothesis of Atlantis, then proceeded to lay out anthropological findings to support her views. The book read like a light history book of man and his evolution (and de-evolution) on a planet called Earth. Ms. Andrews painstaking research is explained and laid out for our analysis in a pleasingly down to earth format. I got through this book faster than most others.

The four maps detailing how the land masses appeared at 50K bc, 25K bc, 10K bc and currently really set the stage for easy comprehension of the facts she was about to lay on us. The analogy of Noah's flood ending the third world and bringing about this, the fourth world was very thought provoking. The comparison of how the Atlantians survived and escaped two previous disasters and how their influence, society, and technology lived on and has become apparent in other prehistoric cultures is just amazing. To me now, its not a matter of "did Atlantis exist?", its a matter of how we, as contemporary man, can learn from the positives and negatives of our human ancestors. Its maybe a gauge as to how our evolution can handle these precedences.

2.0 out of 5 stars Psychic Babble, August 13, 2006
The author uses little science to support her claims and assertions but "psychic visions" from the likes of Edgar Cayce. Though the book is interesting and easy to read, it cannot be taken as a serious work. The author should try to seek scientific facts to back up these psychic claims. If you are looking for a good book that provides scientific evidence for the former existence of Atlantis, don't look here!
