I love this movie and so does my boyfriend. I got it for him as an anniversary gift. The first disc he got did not work, so I came back to the website and was able to get it replaced for free. Amazon.com is great; it's helpful, convenient, and makes sure the customer is happy!

What is it that they always say "A non-stop action adventure" well finally a book that lives up to the hype. This book is a frenziedly ride around the world with a cast of characters that you would defiantly like to know, or not know, depending on which person we were talking about! The places mentioned are exotic and interesting with the color and scope wide and inviting, except of course, for the moments when those locations turn hostile and threatening. A scene on the Amazon is one minute peaceful and charming until you notice the eyes in the water looking back at you with lunch in their minds and you are on the menu! I found myself looking forward to the next destination as I was pulled along by the actions and emotions of the cast... for that is how the book spoke to me. It was as if an epic movie was playing in the back of my head as I turned the pages.

Everything you want to look up is inside, along with things you didn't know you wanted to look up. No longer can they say prove Atlantis existed. Now they have to prove it didn't.

Well thought out spinoff. Great cast with good chemistry. If you've not seen seasons 1-4 yet it is important to view them first to fully understand running storyline. The ending left me wanting more but that just means they didn't over-milk the series.

This book is a sequel or preequal to Joseph's previous work, THE DESTRUCTION OF ATLANTIS. While it's possible to enjoy it on it's own Joseph jumps right in with the new material rather than expending space rehashing his earlier book.So, a novice to the subject might feel a little lost.A great deal of the first book went into his theory that Atlantis was a Bronze Age civilization, 3200-5500 years old, approximately, rather than Plato's literal figures which put the destruction of Atlantis 10,500-11,600 years ago. Joseph is convinced that the final demise of Atlantis occurred ca.1200 B.C. when the Late Bronze age cultures of the Aegean and Near East collapsed,which was followed by an extended dark age.There is evidence of earthquakes, possible tsunamis, inexplicably severe fires and climatic deterioration.But similar evidence clusters around the transitions from the Middle to Late Bronze ages[ca.1750-1550 B.C.] and the Early to Middle Bronze Ages [ca.2350-2050 B.C.].Finally, there was such a period ca.3500-3100 B.C., at the beginning of recorded history.These events could represent Plato's four great catastrophes, though the philosopher put Atlantis demise prior to the first not the last of them.The reasons why Joseph reverses that sequence and reduces the dates overall are dealt with in the previous book.He makes a valiant attempt to correllate the evidence of these catastrophes with how they could have affected his proposed version of Atantis, and how as the title indicates their survivors impacted upon known contemporary cultures.He gives a convincing sketch of each event but one must be willing to accept his overall premise about when and where Atlantis existed first.Those seeking a paleolithic supercivilization and submerged continent sized landmasses will not find them here.This is speculative archaeology and geology not the revealed 'wisdom' of psychics or channelers. He collects quite an assemblage of ancient traditions from around the globe and throughout history in an attempt to connect the dots in the Atlantis story.Those fond of mythological investigations may love it as I did.But if that is not your taste it could prove slow going.I appreciated the effort to tie in the rise of Atlantis to known history as well as it's fall.Others might take exception to the idea, believing that Atlantis preceeds or transcends 'mere' history.Since the whole subject can be viewed in so many different ways there is no way to please everybody.For those willing to consider that Plato's account derived from people, places and events of the historical period Frank Joseph has provided a marvelous compendium of how Atlantis may have fitted into the jigsaw puzzle of antiquity.To such an open minded reader I highly recommend the book.Even for those convinced that Atlantis sank 11,500 years ago, Joseph's material could be applicable to the three catastrophes Plato said had occurred since then, a subject rarely dealt with in this field.

Atlantis is an indepth look at the possibilities of beginnings and responsibilities. Religions have developed a method of distracting us from other rhelms of possibilities and this is the one of the few books that open the mind and heart rather than try to dictate an antiquated point of view.
