Atlantis: Myth or Reality

The author has researched stories from many sources and has done her best to dispassionately compile information in a coherent manner. The extensive bibliography is over 4 pages using both scientific and channelled sources. Of many Atlantian books I have read, this is probably in the middle of the road. She tries to minimize her own speculations though there are many topics not necessarily pertaining to Atlantis. Fourteen chapters:The Atlantis Legend,Plato's Atlantis,Question Marks,Alternate Sites,The Atlantic Ocean,Asteroids Moons and Axis Tilts,Cycles ,Time Scales and Dates,Atlantis and Her Peoples,Religion and Science in Atlantis,Colonies, Missions and Safe Havens,Atlantean Heritage,Torch-bearing Collectives,Akashic Anomalies,Is Chaos Returning.

Hope writes knowingly on the nature of Atlantis and Atlanteans and ofthe world-wide myths that survived the Golden Age. Unfortunately,Hope's account suffers from a reliance on Ignatius Donnelly's 19thcentury placement of Atlantis as "opposed to the Pillars ofHeracles (Straits of Gibraltar) rather than "across" fromthem as Plato wrote. Thus Hope, like many others, posits Atlantis as asunken island in the Atlantic (geologially unsustainable), rather thanas the "island-continent" Plato described.

very interesting book
