Spine tingling mystery

I almost never read a book more than once. My second reading of Sarmast's book convinces me he is about to shake up the scientific world. Brighter people than I have been caught up in this project. He had found something startling down a mile under water whether Atlantis, Eden or some other extremely olden city.

Intriguing motif

This book favourably impressed me on more than one level. It is well organized and visually appealing.The writing has both down-to-earth and colourful elements, and some pretty high class, scientific/philosophical prose.I'm no expert on ancient mythology, and initially had only a minor interest in the subject, but I was drawn into the Discovery of Atlantis, and couldn't put it down. I think I have a much better and more realistic understanding of the way things may have been in Atlantis, if it actually existed. I also could not stop thinking about the possibility that all the myths, whether they originate with the Egyptians, Greeks, or Sumerians concerning some kind of exceptional (superhuman) civilization existing in very ancient times, were all talking about the same phenomenon - namely an advanced "Edenic" civilization surrounded by late Stone Age human settlements.

Excellent Book

Robert Sarmast book Discovery of Atlantis is truly a mystery that is unfolding itself leading us to the greatest discovery known to mankind. He has unlocked all of the clues documented by Plato.This book should be read all interested in Alantis or Eden. The book is easy to read and leads the reader on a most excellent and fascinating literary journey. Guaranteed to satisify.Enjoy

Hidden in plain sight...

Of all the wild attempts to find Atlantis...it seems, according to Sarmast, that the truth has been hidden in plain sight all along...Believe Plato, he says...he's the man! By taking the ancient Philosopher literally at his word...and following scientific and geological clues (several of which seem quite recent...i.e. the notion of periodic flooding/drought cycles of the Mediterranean Basin) he has methodically come up with what may well be the true solution to this age-old enigma. Coupled with luck in discovering Russian data that allowed some gorgeous, state-of-the-art maps to be drawn of previously uncharted waters, Sarmast seems to have hit the nail on the head! It's lucid, clear and easy to read...brings in mythology as well as the science... Short of mounting an expedition to Cyprus, it is as comprehensive a picture as we're likely to find. And it just makes a whole lot of sense. One thing is certain...whoever finally does mount an expedition to take a look will have no excuses for missing the mark...if they remember to take this book along as their guide! Fantastic stuff...but this time it really could be true!

One of the first REAL forays into our pre-history

This book manages to be neither stuffily scientific nor assumptive in its conclusions in spite of its genre. The facts are presented in an easy to digest style without inflicting hair-pulling madness as many other authors approaching similar topics do.That is to say it should satisfy scholars and the general public alike.What can I say about the subject matter but after you read it I am sure your view of our world now will have changed. This book is the first piece in the jigsaw of the ancient world in my opinion and from here its all upwards.This will soon be big news in the world, be one of the first to read.
