This volume aims to provide plausible answers to fundamental questions about the origins and history of humanity, using numerous scientific evidences. Alford's provocative conclusion is that humans are the hybrid descendants of an extraterrestrial race. The evolution of Homo Sapiens and the great enigmas of human history would find explanation in the existence of "alien" deities from which our civilization derives.
THE ATLANTIS SECRET A Complete Decoding of Plato's Lost Continent Alan Alford’s theory of the Atlantis story is bold, innovative, and radically different from anything ever proposed before. Far from claiming that Plato’s story was historically true, as other authors generally do, he argues that the story was ‘true’ in the sense that it was a ‘true myth’ describing the cataclysmic origins of the Universe (this kind of myth was held to be ‘true’ by sages of the ancient world). The reason Atlantis ended up in the deep, he suggests, is because the original Atlantis fell out of the sky. The quest for Atlantis thus becomes a cosmic and spiritual quest – for knowledge of the Mystery of Existence and the meaning of life and death.
This title presents challenging and revolutionary answers to the world's myths. Alan Alford presents the secrets of the world's oldest civilizations and attempts to reveal profound connections between the myths.
