Was Preglacial Man Civilized?

By Ignatius Donnelly

Book Overview

""Was Preglacial Man Civilized?"" is a book written by Ignatius Donnelly, first published in 1891. The book explores the idea that human civilization existed even before the last ice age, which is commonly referred to as the preglacial period. Donnelly presents evidence from various sources, including mythology, ancient texts, and geological findings, to support his theory. He argues that preglacial humans were highly advanced, possessing knowledge of astronomy, agriculture, and architecture. The book also delves into the origins of human language and the development of religion. Donnelly's ideas were controversial at the time of publication, and the book remains a thought-provoking read for those interested in the history of human civilization.THIS 30 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Ragnarok: The Age of Fire and Gravel, by Ignatius Donnelly.
