From the editor: Using the disputed age of the Sphinx as a launching point, Colin Wilson makes a plausible and ground-shaking argument for the existence of Atlantis. Archaeologists place the age of the Sphinx at around the same time of classic dynastic Egypt, about 2400 B.C., but geologists claim a different age-as early as 7000 to 10500 B.C. They back up their claim with the science of erosion indicating that wear on the Sphinx is more similar to that done by water than wind and sand. The result of this, according to Wilson, proves that there was a highly advanced, antediluvian society in Egypt's prehistory to rival that of anything discovered or dreamed of before: Atlantis. In an eminently readable style, Wilson backtracks through history to put together a fascinating look at what Atlantis might have been, the technologies developed by this advanced civilization, and how echoes of Atlantis have been passed down through the millennia as evidenced by the Sphinx.
