Discovery of Atlantis: The Startling Case for the Island of Cyprus by Robert Sarmast Foreword by Colin Wilson
ISBN - 0977932605 Pubdate - June 2006 USD Price - $15.95 The author’s correlations with world mythology constitute an exciting breakthrough in the study of ancient myth. In particular, Sarmast shows links to the story of Eden and to myths of the “pure land” in ancient cultures the world over. He provides a new and unprecedented connection back to Atlantis as the original source and font of these legends. Sarmast lends new credibility to Plato’s account of Atlantis. Crucial here is the recent scientific proof of a catastrophic flood of the entire Mediterranean basin due to the destruction of the Gibraltar dam. This accepted fact of natural history substantiates Plato’s claim that an epochal flood “swallowed up” the mountainous island of Atlantis. It lends credence to Sarmast’s contention that Plato’s overall presentation is historically accurate. For all of its brilliance, the evidence unveiled in Discovery of Atlantis is only the first step in a series of discoveries to come. The next task is to actually explore this small strip of the Cyprus Arc with submersible equipment to verify the existence of archeological evidence of the sunken civilization.
