Below are a selection of books that will give you a background in understanding the growing appreciation that many ancient cultures have, periodically, been destroyed by 'natural catastrophes'. Abrupt climate changes - many of which are now believed to have been caused by astronomical events such as impacts of asteroids, comets, meteorite storms, and the associated 'dust-loading' of the upper atmosphere - seem to be increasingly regarded as the major cause of civilization collapse in prehistory. Massive earthquakes, intense volcanic activity, and earth-crust displacements on a hemispheric scale in ancient times, are now being viewed as the probable consequences of just such episodes of celestial bombardment.
Besides the 'cosmic impact' event of 65 million years ago, which is now accepted as having contributed to the final demise of the dinosaurs, the focus of attention is increasingly
on events around 2350 BC when many Bronze Age societies around the world collapsed simultaneously, and also on the period at the end of the last ice age around ten to twelve thousand years ago. It is this earlier period at the start of the Holocene that efforts to locate Atlantis are currently focussed upon. Researchers who take seriously the stories about Atlantis first re-told in writing in Plato's Timaeus and Critias dialogues, have consistently been ridiculed by orthodox archæologists and prehistorians. To many of these 'experts' the "A" word is complete and total anathema, but many of the 'fanciful suggestions' they have offered for 'what Plato really meant' have been nothing short of laughable.
But just beneath the surface the myths of Atlantis continue to fascinate most people if they are honest. There are many, many archæological discoveries hidden away in the basements of museums around the world because their very existence does not fit in with currently accepted theories of prehistory. Yet folktales and memories about cataclysms, catastrophes and floods which supposedly destroyed the 'mythical' continents such as Atlantis, Lemuria and other ancient civilizations, remain an important part of the 'living traditions' of many cultures. Are these peoples descended from the survivors of the ancient cataclysms we now know happened at the end of the last Ice Age? They refuse to go away, and new discoveries being made each year point in the direction of sophisticated civilization in ancient times ...

"Graham Hancock, a reporter for the Economist and Sunday London Times, has done what many of us only dream about, he visited the ruins of many ancient cultures from around the globe and came up with some startling findings and theories. His journeys included: Machu Picchu in Peru, the Mayan ruins of Central America and Mexico, the Aztec ruins near Mexico City, the city of Teotihuacan, and the Egyptian ruins of Giza, the Pyramids, Heliopolis, Saqqara, and Abydos. He begins the book with a chapter introducing us to an ancient map of Antartica, made in Ad 1513. It is an enigma because the 'modern' world only "recently" discovered Antartica in AD 1818. Graham Hancock ends his book with more information and theories about the reason Antartica may have shifted about 2,000 miles south of its original location, believed to be a subtropical climate, similar to that of the Meditarranean.

"Charles Hapgood's classic book on ancient maps produces evidence of an advanced world-wide civilization existing many thousands of years before ancient Egypt. He has found the evidence in the Piri Reis Map that shows Antarctica, the Hadji Ahmed map, the Oronteus Finaeus and other amazing maps. Hapgood concluded that these maps were made from more ancient maps from the various ancient archives around the world, now lost. Not only were these unknown people more advanced in mapmaking than any other prior to the 18th century, it appears they mapped all the continents. The Americas were mapped thousands of years before Columbus and Antarctica was mapped once its coasts were free of ice."

"Hancock's previous work, including the popular and controversial Fingerprints of the Gods, has drawn criticism for its leaps of faith and allegedly pseudoscientific conclusions, but Heaven's Mirror proves at least a little more substantial. His chief thesis is that numerous ancient sites and monuments--the pyramids of Mexico and Egypt, the ruins of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, the monuments of Yonaguni in the Pacific, and the megaliths of Peru and Bolivia--are situated in such a way, geodetically, that they point towards some separate and uniform influence, some lost civilization or "invisible college" of astronomer-priests."

"This book is of profound importance for mankind and all living things on this planet. This may sound a bit over the top, but having investigated this theory for several years, sceptically I hasten to add, I am now convinced that Hapgood was correct. The book explains in some detail the reasons why it is self-evident that the whole crust of the Earth has (and will) displace it's position as a whole. In otherwords when Britain was supposed to be in an "ice age" 20 odd thousand years ago, this is explained by the fact that we were positioned on the globe father north. It is not that heavy a read but does contain sufficient data for academics to endeavour to concur or disprove Hapgood. It is thought-provoking and stimulating and has prompted myself to start an email frenzy to Geologists and the like worldwide for an opinion."

"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."

"I first read Churchward's "Lost Continent of Mu" when I was about fourteen years old... It was kind of my introduction to anthropology and ancient history... I found Churchward to be a fascinating writer... He apparently was in the British army in India as a Colonel and met a "Rishi"... who told him about some ancient records guarded in some temples about a lost continent ... Actually Hindu legends does talk about an island kingdom that sank at the beginning of the Kali Yuga ... "

"Presents evidence for a startling new theory - that the great stone spheres of Costa Rica (and sighting-stones found throughout the Pacific) were used to teach sea routes and constellation paths to world-wide navigators of the ancient world, a purpose overlooked by modern academic archaeologists."

"The object of this book is to give a general outline of what is known concerning Atlantean civilization. Shows, among other things, that the story of Atlantis, as painted upon the peplum of Pallas at the Athenian festival, has a very definite bearing upon the credibility of Plato's narrative, predating it as it did by more than a century; and that, so far from being mythical, the Egyptian sources from which Plato drew his material were very real indeed, and that he himself visited Egypt. Also throws light on the character of the Atlantean invasion of Europe, on the exact sit of Atlantis, and especially on the great amount of evidence for the former existence of the island-continent which survives in British an Irish folklore and tradition. Most importantly, the author argues for the existence of a definite Atlantean culture-complex and Atlantean civilization."

"Is it a mere coincidence that pyramids are found across our globe? Did cultures ranging across vast spaces in geography and time, such as the ancient Egyptians; early Buddhists; the Maya, Inca, Toltec, and Aztec civilizations of the Americas; the Celts of the British Isles; and even the Mississippi Indians of pre-Columbian Illinois, simply dream the same dreams and envision the same structures? In this dramatic and meticulously reasoned book, Schoch, like anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl in his classic Kon-Tiki, argues that ancient cultures traveled great distances by sea. Indeed, he believes that primeval sailors traveled from the Eastern continent, primarily Southeast Asia, and spread the idea of pyramids across the Earth, involving the human species in a far greater degree of contact and exchange than experts have previously thought possible."

"According to the clairvoyant investigations of the late C.W. Leadbeater, we have all lived on the lost continent of Atlantis and its counterpart Lemuria in past lives. This book is a travel guide to these ancient lands, now submerged. Their inhabitants, their lives and environments, come alive--based on Leadbeater's visions as well as writings by Plato, H.P. Blavatsky, and others."
