Ghosts of Atlantis

How the Echoes of Lost Civilizations Influence Our Modern World

By J. DOUGLAS KENYON

An intensive investigation into the evidence for a forgotten fountainhead of
civilization lost at the end of the last ice age


• Reveals evidence of advanced ancient technology, anomalous ancient maps, time
travel, crystal science, ancient Armageddon, and Atlantis in the Bible
• Explores the true age of the Sphinx, the Stone Age high-tech found at Gobekli
Tepe, the truth of Rapa Nui (Easter Island), the Zep Tepi monuments of Egypt, the
mysteries of the Gulf of Cambay, and what lies beneath the ice of Antarctica
• Examines the advanced knowledge of the ancients and how the search for Atlantis
and other lost worlds reflects the search for the lost soul of humanity



We live within the ruins of an ancient civilization whose vast size has rendered it invisible.
Remembered in myth as Atlantis, Lemuria, or other lost world archetypes, the
remains of this advanced civilization have lain buried for millennia beneath the deserts
and oceans of the world, leaving us many mysterious and inexplicable clues.

Investigating the perennial myth of a forgotten fountainhead of civilization, J. Douglas
Kenyon presents extensive physical and spiritual evidence of a lost great culture, the
collective amnesia that wiped it from planetary memory, and the countless ways ancient
catastrophes still haunt modern civilization. He explores evidence of advanced ancient
technology, anomalous ancient maps, extraterrestrial influence, time travel, crystal science,
and the true age of the Sphinx. He examines evidence of Atlantis in the Bible
and ancient Armageddon, the Stone Age high-tech found at Gobekli Tepe, the truth of
Rapa Nui (Easter Island), the Zep Tepi monuments of Egypt, the mysteries of the Gulf
of Cambay, and what lies beneath the ice of Antarctica. He looks at extinction events,
Earth’s connection with Mars, and how our DNA reveals that humanity has had enough
time to evolve civilization and lose it more than once.

Exploring the advanced esoteric and spiritual knowledge of the ancients, Kenyon
shows that the search for Atlantis and other lost worlds reflects the search for the lost
soul of humanity. Drawing upon Velikovsky’s notion of a species-wide amnesia caused by
the trauma of losing an entire civilization, he reveals how the virtual ruins of a lost history
are buried deep in our collective unconscious, constantly tugging at our awareness.
As Kenyon reveals, by overcoming “the Great Forgetting,” humanity can find its way out
of the haunted labyrinth in which we find ourselves lost today and rediscover the heights
of spiritual and technological advancement of our ancient ancestors.
