Ignatius Donnelly's "Atlantis, the Antediluvian World" is a significant work in the history of Atlantis theories. Published in 1882, it revived interest in the lost continent, proposing that Atlantis was the cradle of civilization. Donnelly connected various myths and legends to Atlantis, suggesting it as the origin of human culture and technology. The book's popularity fueled a renewed fascination with Atlantis, influencing popular culture and sparking further speculation. Despite its pseudoscientific nature, it remains a landmark text in the history of Atlantis studies.
While less famous than his Sherlock Holmes series, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Maracot Deep" delves into the mystery of Atlantis. It showcases his interest in the supernatural and speculative fiction, blending adventure and mystery. The story likely reflects his fascination with the lost civilization and its enduring appeal. The novel offers a fictional exploration of the Atlantis theme, adding to the rich tapestry of stories surrounding the legendary island. It's a lesser-known work but still demonstrates Doyle's versatility as a writer.
One of the most ancient folk stories in history has been the subject of debate for thousands of years. And the real world events and ideas that it spawned are truly bizarre.
Narrated and produced by Aaron Mahnke, with writing by GennaRose Nethercott, research by Sam Alberty and Cassandra de Alba, and music by Chad Lawson.
