LF372 Thomas Sheridan and Neil McDonald – Atlantis: An Empire Lost and Found

Thomas Sheridan and Neil McDonald discuss their book and film Atlantis – An Empire Lost and Found. Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com The lost continent of Atlantis has been the stuff of myth and legend for thousands of years, but did it ever really exist? Although quite specific about the nature and location of Atlantis, Plato’s account is generally taken as allegory by mainstream archaeologists and historians. However, stories of devastating floods and once-advanced civilizations going right back to the end of the last ice age can be found all over the world, as can evidence for them in the archaeology. In this groundbreaking new work, Sheridan and McDonald link the possible existence of Atlantis directly to megalithic culture, specifically that which erected the many stone circles and other similar structures the remains of which dot the Atlantic fringes, particularly around the British Isles. Along the way we pose probing questions such as: Do secretive occult orders and mystery schools hide knowledge of past civilizations? Did the misuse of powerful technology cause the destruction of Atlantis, and might we be on the brink of making the same mistakes? And, is the current dysfunctional and schizophrenic state of our species somehow linked to collective trauma in the deep past and if so, could Atlantis hold the key to our survival?
