Welcome to Litsy!

Fully Illustrated with all the original maps and drawings. Before there was Graham Hancock or Robert Bauval there was Ignatius Donnelly, whose theories on Atlantis, lost civilisations and Catastrophism have long been considered to be pseudoscience. First published in 1882, Atlantis: The Antediluvian World was a sensation in its day and is an interesting read even today. Though many of the theories within its pages do not stand up well to modern scientific methods, recent discoveries at Gobekli Tepe and new evidence of a comet impact 13,000 years ago that may indeed have caused a worldwide flood, may mean that Donnelly was at least partially right in his hypotheses. This work is not a cheap scan or the result of copying and pasting; it contains no missing pages, areas of blurred or missing text, photocopier's fingers, coffee stains, or other scanning artifacts. It has all of the original text, reformatted in an easy to read format. Note that this work contains terms and language in common use in the 19th century that some people may find offensive.
