Atlantis Fever: A Journey through Time

“There is a magic in names. And the mightiest among these words of magic is Atlantis. It is as if this vision of a lost culture touched the most hidden thought of our soul.” H.G. Wells. Atlantis fever comes in waves. Ok I really didn’t mean for that to be a pun, but it’s a good one! And there’s a rhyme to boot. I’m on a roll. It would stand to reason that the first time Atlantis appeared in “popular culture” was when Plato wrote about it in Ancient Greece. Being the star student of Socrates,...

The Basics of Atlantology

I have been researching #Atlantis for over 2 decades. Not every day, of course, but ever since I discovered it in an #EdgarCayce book, I was hooked.
