The mystery of Atlantis the legendary advanced civilization described in ancient texts, has been solved at last. Scientific evidence, exciting new research, and the breakthrough discovery of an amazing Egyptian map prove without a doubt that this lost continent did exist...and reveal where its ruins can be found.

But the fascinating truth about Atlantis also leads to a chilling conclusion about the environmental catastrophe that destroyed it. Now you can find out how the forces that shattered the first great civilization on Earth can happen again, bringing the end of the world to us all!

Review

"A landmark work." --Ottawa Citizen

"A great adventure into the realm of possibility." --Ocala Star-Banner

"An excellent book which is not only beautifully researched but extremely entertaining to read. Their theory on Atlantis will go down in the annals of this subject as one of the most convincing and imaginative. Well done for the first-class tour de force." --Robert G. Bauval, author of The Orion Mystery: Unlocking the Secrets of the Pyramids

An Open Mind is a Great Gift

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

Atlantis Under the Ice was one of the most thought-provoking books I have read this year. This is not "pie in the sky" Atlantis mythology. The Flem-Aths back up their theories with numbers, maps, geology reports, etc. My eyes were opened and I wanted to learn more about the theory of earth crust displacement. No longer can I watch documentaries or read reports about the island of Thera being the proposed site of Atlantis. I am now reading Path of the Pole by Charles Hapgood. With his forward by Albert Einstein, this is equally intriguing. Science thinks they know it all...they demand "robust evidence" for any new theory that is presented. This is NOT a new theory. It has been proposed for many years, but science chooses not to even consider its possibilities because it does not fit in with what they already think they know. An open mind is a gift...don't let anyone take it away from you. Even scientists follow an agenda.

Shifts in space/Shifts in thought

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2012

Verified Purchase

I've been reading about Atlantis most of my Life. Plato's myth of the Lost Continent and it's wonderous city that disappeared beneath the waves captured my imagination as a boy and never let go. Along with the ongoing mystery of the of the Great Pyramids of the Giza plateau, the last remaining wonders of the ancient world, it has haunted my inner landscape for decades.
In a wonderful syncronicity of events, I had just finished reading 'The Giza Prophesy' by Scott Creighton and Gary Osborn having no idea that the focus of that book would play powerfully into my next planned read, 'Atlantis Beneath the Ice'. To have both of these timeless mysteries intricately and powerfully woven together in a glorious culmination of years of personal investigation was an unexpected pleasure indeed! The satisfaction gained from this particular work was more from finding that missing piece of the puzzle that fell off the table, than actually completing the picture.
Though it offers little that is new in the way of evidence, it is a work of subtle shifts in thinking and perspective that ultimately have the effect of revelation. It is not so much the content of the book, but the shift into viewing what is offered from the perspective of the ancient world from which it came that is its strength. THAT makes all the difference.
The Flem Ath's ideas on are not earth-shaking, but wonderfully subtle. One can easily tell that their slowly unfolding tale of this timeless mystery is at once, a masterful, entertaining, and engaging exposition of carefully gathered information ~ AND a labor of Love.

This needs to become mainstream research and science!

Excellent book. I was a fan of their book "When The Sky Fell" from the '90's. It is one of the most convincing cases for earth-crust displacement. "Atlantis beneath the Ice" is an extension of their earlier book, drawing upon 25 additional years of research. I would recommend their earlier books before reading this only because I felt that I might have been lost with some of the concepts if I wasn't already familiar. However, if you've had any experience with the work of Charles Hapgood or any other alternative ice-age theory, you will feel right at home with the Flem-Ath's work!

A pleasant surprise

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2011

I bought this book from Amazon one night while reading Graham Hancock's book "Fingerprints of the Gods." He mad reference to "When the Sky Fell" toward the end of the book and it piqued my interest. Ordinarily, I will not buy any book that has 'Atlantis' anywhere in the title. But on Hancock's recommendation I did anyway. I was deeply gratified by the quality of ideas and writing. The authors (Rand and Rose Flem-Ath) are librarians at the British Museum and have really done their homework. The essence of the book is their theory that a proto-civilization of considerable sophistication existed on the Earth before Egypt and Sumer, and that it came to an end due to a world-wide cataclysm caused by the displacement of the Earth's crust caused by deformation of same by thick, glacial ice. Geologists don't like catastrophism, preferring as they do uniformitarianism, but I have no problem with events that don't conform to scientific paradigms. Like rules that are made to be broken, scientific paradigms are meant to be overturned. Don't be put off by the criticism of 'pseudoscience' applied to this book. It's well researched, original, and a very interesting read. I was absorbed from beginning to end, and turned pages like "When the Sky Fell" was a novel.

Great read!

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have read numerous anthropology and geology books as well as ancient myths of varying cultures. I have also read numerous books on ancient archaeology so I feel that I had a decent background on much of the research the authors provided and I felt that this book offers a reasonable explanation to many unanswered questions. I do believe that Atlantis existed and, just as with Troy, it will be found. Whether or not these places reached their poetic heights of civilization, I am not sure. I tend to believe that they did. Take the time to read this book. I believe you will enjoy it.

Atlantis Discovered??? Cool!

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2013

Verified Purchase

Important research which is not readily available to the public.
This book is a compelling argument that Antarctica is Atlantis.
One comment not in book. This book, plus other authors dealing with alternate history, talks about Earth Crust Displacement (when the poles changed). I think I'm the only person on this planet, who sees an OBVIOUS reason for the Earth Crust Displacement - capture of our moon, which caused the 23 degree tilt.
As a former C-130 Navigator, having taken many celestial shots on the moon, I was always impressed at how BALANCED (average) the moon's declination was to the 23 degree tilt. And, 2 decades ago, I used to wonder, "When did the earth capture the moon, causing this 23-degree tilt?"
This book seems to be the answer to my decades-old question.

Atlantis Beneath the Ice: The Fate of the Lost Continent

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

An absolutely fascinating book, very well written, easy to read, with very convincing evidence and sensible reasoning brought to the fore without ever getting boring, patronising, or giving an impression of trying to pull the wool over your eyes. Time will tell on the accuracy of the final verdict, but this book is a must read even if all you want is a good read: the best detective story EVER.

Should Have Been Much Better

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

I so wanted this book to be better. It's well written but poorly structured. For example a short and evocative narrative describing an Atlantean returning to his city home features at the end of the book when it would have served as an excellent introduction to draw the reader in. The diatribe bewailing the unwillingness of modern science to entertain 'new' or 'unusual' ideas appears at the beginning, where it serves to indicate that the authors have not formed a good case for their argument, and is largely repeated at the end where it belongs.

There are some good points made, particularly those regarding the apparent suddenness of the emergence of fully formed civilisations, but the links to Atlantis are tenuous at best. Troy is held up as an example of a city deemed mythical until found at the end of the 19th C. which is a fair point but Schliemann's city (or cities given the number of rebuilds found on the site) bears little resemblance to the Homeric story. Yet the authors would have us believe that their Atlantis must be the same as that described by Solon. Nowhere do they address some of the more awkward 'facts' regarding Atlantis according to Solon's description, that it was impossible to sail there because the sea was blocked by a huge shoal of mud, that the island upon which the city stood was largely artificial or that the city sank!

Facts are produced but conclusions drawn from them are either questionable or can be disproven with a little thought. For example the sudden appearance of agriculture around the globe shortly after the cataclysm is attributed to Atlantean survivors sharing their skills with indigenous hunter-gatherers. But far more likely is that the cataclysm, and mass-extinction, forced the relatively primitive human survivors to nurture their scarce food sources rather than simply rely on nature's abundance. The authors talk of anomalous discoveries of bones, tools and preserved carcasses in Arctic conditions but fail to grasp the fact that local climates are not dictated just by their latitude. In the same fashion they completely fail to understand that oceanic evaporation is not just a function of temperature but also solar radiation. Thus an Earth several degrees colder than present would still have enough precipitation to produce the ice sheets of what we know as the 'Ice Ages'.

Charles Hapgood's ideas about Earth crust displacement certainly have some merit and the authors have done much to bring them to a wider audience. Where they fall down is their attempt to tie those ideas to a 'real' Atlantis. They may be correct and my criticisms may be utterly misplaced but I winced, rather than became convinced, too many times for my comfort as I read this book.

an expanded version of when the sky fell, the authors first book. reasonably priced considering much of the material here has been previously published. an interesting if inevitably inconclusive account of what happened to Atlantis. the antarctic theory presented here is persuasive but until conclusive proof is found (and if Antarctica continues to melt at it's present rate it soon could be) this theory cannot be taken as fact

A sane and logical solution to the myth of a sunken continent..

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 29, 2009

Verified Purchase

The book combines a comprehensive survey of ancient myth and oral tradition with down-to-earth science and remarkable cartography. The feeling one has is "of course! - why didn't that occur to us before?" Recent reappraisal of the meaning, purpose and date of various structures and artifacts (particularly in Egypt) is helping to loosen up our ideas about the evolution and history of mankind, but the continent of Atlantis - the homeland of an antediluvian society - has always been regarded as a mythical dream. This book helps to explain WHY and HOW we've missed a very important point. It's a first-rate contribution to the cool and objective debate concerning a land now lost, but not forgotten.

Zeer interessant.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 12, 2015

Verified Purchase

Met een extra hoofdstuk in the Atlantis bulletins had de extra inhoud van dit boek ook gedekt kunnen zijn. Mocht je dat niet gelezen hebben, dan opent dit boek waarschijnlijk de geest voor een zeer waarschijnlijk hele andere geschiedenis van de mensheid. Overtuigend is het zeker. Alleen is het niet een strak goed lopend verhaal, eerder een poging om verschillende onderwerpen die veel verband hebben tot een verhaal te maken. Niet helemaal gelukt. Toch een aanrader vanwege de verstrekkende inhoud.
