Atlantis was not an island, it was a global civilization and its evidence is clear by the remains of megalithic structures found all around the world, from Peru to Egypt to Japan and Turkey and many many other sites. This Global 'Atlantian' Civilization seems to have been wiped of the planet by a huge cataclysm about 12-13000 years ago, the same event that made the saber tooth tiger and mammoth elephant extinct. It seems that this civilization could have thrived for thousands of years before this cataclysmic.
I think you just nailed it!
I spent the last two hours going through all pages already translated and, despite the psychological contextualization, it lacks the awesomeness of someone trying to describe unknown things, hesitating with advanced concepts.
I do feel some behavioural pattern of his age the author transfers incounsciently to characters from the 4th Millennium.
Not a bad reading. Interesting for lovers of sci-fi literature. Not convincing at all.
And that's my opinion.
"... In the late 1960s, an archivist in the New York State Library made an astounding discovery: 12,000 pages of centuries-old correspondence, court cases, legal contracts, and reports from a forgotten society: the Dutch colony centered on Manhattan, which predated the thirteen “original” American colonies. For the past thirty years scholar Charles Gehring has been translating this trove, which was recently declared a national treasure. Now, Russell Shorto has made use of this vital material to construct a sweeping narrative of Manhattan’s founding that gives a startling, fresh perspective on how America began.
In an account that blends a novelist’s grasp of storytelling with cutting-edge scholarship, The Island at the Center of the World strips Manhattan of its asphalt, bringing us back to a wilderness island—a hunting ground for Indians, populated by wolves and bears—that became a prize in the global power struggle between the English and the Dutch. Indeed, Russell Shorto shows that America’s founding was not the work of English settlers alone but a result of the clashing of these two seventeenth century powers. In fact, it was Amsterdam—Europe’s most liberal city, with an unusual policy of tolerance and a polyglot society dedicated to free trade—that became the model for the city of New Amsterdam on Manhattan. While the Puritans of New England were founding a society based on intolerance, on Manhattan the Dutch created a free-trade, upwardly-mobile melting pot that would help shape not only New York, but America. ..."

The evidence is in Homer's books. The best historians have always commented on their northern origin.
A Club Med Troy is the result of pseudo archaeologists and later geopolitics of British Greeceballs. If you use the books as travel guides in the Med you will get wrecked. But they are extremely accurate and detailed locators for the Baltic area. Our ultimate cultural origins are in the north. Ancient Greece inherited this and passed it to us.

Are there pics on line of this tapestry ? would like to see the whole thing. Is it displayed longated out, so one can walk along and view whole thing ? if so, where ? there a web site ?
Does it show the crab nebula explosion ? of 1054. Is it's material made of silk ?
I personally believe that Ay was a convenient villain to blame for Tutankhamen's death. Looking at all the inbreeding that was going on in Egyptian royal families, it is the more likely and logical explanation for the young king's early demise.

Oh please don't use as fact that you know giant don't exist because it is a belief not a fact by the way.
There is some good photography and report in well established journal and there was no photoshop program in 1850 that I know about. Even Some renowned scholar signed the report, which gives some credibility to them.
Pls Explain to me, what is so obvious in that regard? I would myself more likely use dubious, but, they cannot deny that the story is there and they are an interesting case.
I have a question for the specialist, it is often said in those reports that the bone crumble after unearthing them, it is really convenient for a hoaxer but the reality, bone crumbles often after unearthing them ?
Very True.That British guy wired a human jaw bone to a monkey scull and it stood for 80 years as an example of early man.Why? because "scientists"liked the location where it was found.In the meantime the guy who actually discovered the earliest origins of man died without ever getting credit.
Victor- I don’t believe I have ever been so moved by one passage of anonymous opinion. In fact, I know I have not. I had to stop multiple times just to gasp for air. I felt my soul lifting from my body. It was truly beautiful and awe inspiring. I’ve been very lost and searching the seemingly hopeless world for answers to MY problems. I feel so enlightened to have come across this. It reminded me of what exactly it was I had lost, that I have been desperately looking for…. my love for my fellow man. My outright disdain for the company of others has caused me to become shackled in a self inposed prison. I was once the most outgoing girl, always a smile, a zest for life better than any artificial high has achieved me. My naivety and love for everyone I encountered caused me to have my heart broken by all of the evil in the world. At 25, in deep despair, mourning for the world I thought was pure and kind, I shut off my happiness. I vowed to grow tough, to not care, and becoming a jaded fool became my excuse for self importance. I I turn 30 next month and I have been soul searching. I made a mistake to throw my innocence and free mind away. Truly, thank you for bringing me what I needed to hear. I know I am just a stranger, but I reached out to the universe for a sign, a message. I felt I had to tell you how much it impacted me.
First, in the Northwest the creature is Sasquatch, not Bigfoot for most of us. It really doesn't matter because it does not exist and never has. There would have been real evidence found it it had. You can talk about bone disintegration due to the wet climate but mammoth and other ancient skeletons have survived.
The history of Cornwall is notoriously vague. I know the Vikings formed a partnership with the Cornish, although can’t remember the exact reason now but it could’ve been the mineral sources of Dumnonia and the sea-faring abilities of both the Dumnonii and the Vikings. Vikings did land in Cornwall as there were bloody massacres and kidnappings but these would just have been coastal areas. Squirmishes between neighbouring tribes were common anyhow, along with instances such as the Battle of Reskajeage. Some importance could lie in the Reskajeage area as King Teudar was based not far away near Hayle Towans and Connerton, which was to become the administrative centre of the Hundred of Penwith. Magor Roman villa is also near Reskajeage, as well as the chapel of St.Gwithian and numerous bronze age remains.

So.. when are they sending a sub down there to do some (re)searching? :D

Fascinating... will have to explore this hypothesis

In response to Peter Bridge’s comment on 27 March 2016:
I always understood that Troy lay to the east of Greece not to the northwest...

I am doing research on ancient Egypt and i was wondering if there could be more stuff on pyramids and sphinxes.

A fascinating tale...it makes you winder how Browning came across the story and then put to such captivating verse.
