Way Down Below The Ocean

Brad Steiger ranks as one of the truly great writers in the field of paranormal subject matter. With his technical skill and sure hand with the printed word, he has few peers, and his prolific output is further testimony to his proven ability to deal with phenomena like UFOs, ghosts, parapsychology, and even ancient civilizations--topics most writers would grapple with inadequately or not at all.So it is easy to recommend "Overlords of Atlantis and the Great Pyramid" without reservation. Steiger presents his usual thorough and painstaking research into one of the more familiar sacred cows of the New Age Movement, and takes the reader on a fact-based quest for the lost island of Atlantis, combining fascinating myth with recent scientific discoveries by archeologists and other scientists. The opening chapter deals with scientific discoveries regarding the reality and unreality of the legends of Atlantis, surely one of the most objective summations of the current data available in the field. Evidence to bolster both sides of the argument are presented without undue editorializing, and the reader is invited to draw his own conclusions.Perhaps the most profound implication of the story Steiger tells is what is called "the catastrophic theory of history." Simply stated, the theory poses the idea that perhaps the history of mankind goes back much farther than is currently believed, and that there existed previous cultures of highly advanced, extremely skilled technological people, what Steiger calls "hominids," who had their existence cut short by some kind of natural or manmade disaster. Perhaps great civilizations have risen and fallen many times, without leaving a trace of archeological evidence behind them. Are we dangerously close to some kind of extinction ourselves, with our nuclear weapons and environmental decline spinning out of control?Steiger also discusses various theories as to why the myth of Atlantis has been handed down to us over the centuries, even turning up in the works of Plato, the Greek philosopher, among others. He says it may be because of what is called a "racial memory," or a function of the collective unconscious, harking back to the universal myth of the Great Flood, which is found in nearly every ancient system of belief from the Bible to American Indian legends.Another point the universal myths have in common is that the deluge was a demonstration of the disfavor of the gods, which is perhaps most familiar to us from the Biblical story of Noah and the Ark. Do they all describe the same cataclysm, which also destroyed Atlantis?Steiger goes on to point out many other similarities and correlations between ancient cultures that serve to prove that they all had in common the same influences, that some kind of godlike guiding hand was present throughout the world. Hence you find pyramids in Egypt and again in Mexico, two very divergent societies who somehow created the same monuments to both their gods and themselves. This revi

THE ANCIENTS WERE HIGHLY ADVANCED

We tend to think of ourselves as highly civilized -- "superhumans" who are more intelligent than at any other time in history. WELL THIS BOOK SHOWS DIFFERENT> Brad Steiger - well known in the paranormal world - does much to prove that eons ago intelligent humans lived on the planet, and were in fact capable of creating a higher form of technology then we find ourselves with today. Supposedly, the overlords of Atlantis assisted in the construction of the pyramids,had space travel and may even been in contact with extraterrestrials. It was a wonderful world until mankind became too materialistic and destroyed itself with weapons of mass destruction...evidence of which can be found many places around the planet. This is both an adventure book as well as a book that can teach the reader a lot.
