Inspired by the revelation that the Sphinx had been weathered by water and not by wind-blown sand and was, therefore, thousands of years older than the oldest civilisation known to man, Colin Wilson sets out to explore the remote depths of history. The compelling argument of this bestselling book is that, thousands of years before Ancient Egypt and Greece held sway, there was a great civilisation whose ships travelled the world and who possessed some knowledge system that offered a unified view of the universe, alien to modern man. In this fascinating exploration of the world at a time when, according to Plato, the 'lost civilisation' of Atlantis was destroyed, the author makes a ground-breaking attempt to understand how these long-forgotten peoples thought, felt and communicated on a universal plane.

The book is a good overview of several other books on the subject. But it is also too heavy on the subject of religion and not up to date on the latest underwater finds of ancient cities ie in Japan and India. Religion gets tedious toward the end.

Not bad, but not great either. It seems to me most all of the book was repetitive. There were some good parts that I enjoyed, but overall somewhat disappointing.
