Experts rave about Ghosts of Atlantis, the forthcoming book by Atlantis
Rising editor J. Douglas Kenyon…

“A great new addition to the world of ancient mysteries, opening a fascinating chapter in the
mysteries of Atlantis.”

Andrew Collins, author of Gobekli Tepe: Genesis of the Gods


“Provides numerous insights and a fascinating path to navigate through the Atlantis phenomena.”

Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D., author of Forgotten Civilization


“…brilliantly elucidates how similar the fundamental ideological forces in the world play out.
Beautifully written.”

Chris Dunn, author of Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt

…a magical mystery tour through many of the great puzzles and enigmas of our world. A
deeply thought-provoking compendium and a tour de force that delivers a timely wake-up call.”

Scott Creighton, author of The Great Pyramid Void Enigma

“Kenyon has covered all the bases on Atlantis in this exciting new book!”
David Hatcher Childress, author and co-star on the History Channel Show Ancient Aliens

“Kenyon has written the widest-ranging, most comprehensive and most convincing argument
that a prehistoric civilization actually existed and was all but erased from human memory by a
natural catastrophe. A must read.”

Gregory L. Little, Ed.D., coauthor of Denisovan Origins


“No one handles the mysteries of protohistory more deftly than Doug Kenyon. He has done more
than any single individual in recent time to uncover the secrets of planet earth, once and for all
dispelling the orthodox myth of a barbaric ‘Stone Age.’ His new book is a magnificent synopsis
of our knowledge of the advanced arts and sciences of lost civilizations.”

Susan Martinez, Ph.D., author of The Mysterious Origins of Hybrid Man


“Skillful writing guides us smoothly through complex subjects towards an exciting place where
mysticism and materialism might intersect to provide a greater understanding of the universe.
An exciting book, wrapping deep subjects in a fascinating style that invites you to delve into the
writer’s intriguing multiverse vision.”

Rand Flem-Ath, coauthor of Atlantis beneath the Ice


“Kenyon offers us a thorough, up to date, survey of the current state of the world of alternative
science. He’s also an accomplished researcher and author, as convincingly demonstrated by this
book. May the ghosts of Atlantis continue to haunt a world gone astray!”

Michael A. Cremo, author of Forbidden Archeology

“Ghost of Atlantis is a fascinating read, integrating many threads of research. This book allows
for hope—we’ve collectively forgotten much wisdom, yet it’s not too late to recognize our
spiritual nature and choose to build a higher civilization.”

Jeane Manning, author of The Coming Energy Revolution


“… a riveting read. Kenyon presents non-stop and impossible-to-ignore evidence for humanity’s
amnesia and offers compelling arguments for what lost memory means to humanity—we ignore
the truth of the past at our peril.”

Julie Loar, author of Goddesses for Every Day


“Kenyon has an ability no one else has; to pull in the fullness of place, timeframe, stories, and
facts so a larger view emerges. Ghost of Atlantis is his capstone. This one book ties together how
the many worlds of the past reveal the singular path we humans have taken since the beginnings
of all beginnings. I give Doug a huge thank you for what he has done in this incredible book.”

PMH Atwater, L.H.D., author of The Forever Angels

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.

A review of Ghosts of Atlantis: How the Echoes of Lost Civilizations Influence Our Modern World by J Douglas Kenyon

Geoff Ward
Writer, poet, tutor and mentor in literature and creative writing (MA and BA Hons degrees in English literature), editor, journalist and musician.

A crucial and topical thread running through this new book is how many researchers seeking genuine scientific advancement are thwarted by the reductionist-materialist paradigm of the establishment.

In referring to catastrophist Immanuel Velikovsky’s theory of ‘cultural amnesia’, Kenyon says that only by overcoming its ‘Great Forgetting’ can humanity rediscover the heights of spiritual and technological advancement of our distant ancestors’ Atlantean civilization — destroyed, under Kenyon’s discussion, 12,000 years ago by comet strike over the North Pole, solar storm (coronal mass ejection) or magnetic pole shift, causing devastating global floods and a rise in sea levels.

The idea is that unconscious memory is transmitted genetically from one generation to the next, over not just centuries but millennia, but that racial amnesia — caused by the trauma of an entire civilization being wiped out — has hidden the truth of human origins and held back spiritual advancement today. Velikovsky (1895–1979) believed that myths and legends about worldwide catastrophe in the distant past derived from literal records of such an event.

A fascination with spectacular doom, as portrayed in blockbuster disaster movies, might be one symptom of the amnesia that prevents the waking memory of, and confrontation with, the suppressed knowledge of an extinction event, says Kenyon: ‘Our deeply scarred collective psyche, it appears, compulsively seeks a return to the forgotten scenes of a destroyed past.’

For almost 25 years, Kenyon, who lives in Georgia, USA, was the editor and publisher of Atlantis Rising magazine. He is the author and editor of several books, including Forbidden History and Forbidden Science, and the writer, producer and narrator of several documentary films, including Technologies of the Gods, Clash of the Geniuses, and The Atlantis Connection.

Having thus explored the esoteric and spiritual knowledge of the ancients, Kenyon believes that Atlantis is symbolic of a quest for the ‘lost soul of humanity’, and that our forgotten history of the end of the last ice age is submerged in our collective unconscious, yet ‘constantly tugging at our awareness’ — not least in popular culture, I might say, ever since Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1869–71), but notably when interest in utopian and dystopian futures was rekindled after the Renaissance with Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis (1627) and Thomas Heyrick’s The New Atlantis (1687).

Lost-world archetypes

Kenyon sees us as living in the ruins of a civilization whose vast size has rendered it invisible when our DNA has revealed that humanity has had enough time to evolve a civilization and lose it more than once. Remembered in myth as Atlantis, Lemuria, or other ‘lost-world archetypes’, the remains of this civilization have lain buried for millennia beneath the deserts, jungles and oceans of the world.

For those who take the matter seriously — those broadly in the ‘alternative history’ sphere — Kenyon says there has been no shortage of clues that there was once such a global culture. One need only consider the advanced technologies, he says, that must have been employed in the building of ancient monuments such as the Great Pyramid, Angkor Wat and those on Easter Island to see we have forgotten a great deal.

He considers anomalous ancient maps, the possibility of extraterrestrial influence, time travel, crystal science and Atlantis in the Bible. He also reflects on the Sphinx being thousands of years older than conventionally accepted, high-tech finds at the 12,000-year-old settlement of Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, the Zep Tepi monuments of Egypt, the mysteries of the Gulf of Cambay and what might lie beneath the ice of Antarctica.

A map of Lemuria superimposed over the modern continents according to William Scott-Elliot (1849-1919), from ‘The Story of Atlantis and Lost Lemuria’ (1925).

However, the very word Atlantis has been, and to a large extent still is, taboo. Modern scholarship has been guilty of projecting its own insecurities on to the past.

In a key passage, Kenyon writes that, in what might be called ‘first church of reductionist materialism’, a narrow worldview embraces a fundamental doctrine that must not be questioned. In the inquisitions of the Middle Ages, forbidden books and their authors were often consigned to the flames. Modern offenders might not be burned at the stake but they are, nevertheless, subjected to ostracism, rejection and academic sanction.

‘For those who long for a more enlightened era in which new ideas that could benefit the world can be examined on their merits, without subjugation to narrow doctrinal agendas, it is worth remembering that defensiveness of this sort is a sign of weakness, not strength. In their standard tactics, the current materialist establishment reveals an insecurity, doubtless born in the unconscious dread that nature itself, thus disrespected, could ultimately return the favour and render them powerless…’

Controlling the narratives

The politically correct ruling elite practice an intolerant ‘religion’. The powers that be, whether in church, state or academia, understand well the importance of controlling the narratives accepted by society, and they fully comprehend the perils of losing control of the argument, so woe to anyone who might challenge conventional wisdom.

Moreover, scientific misbehavior now seems endemic. Kenyon quotes a study by Raymond De Vries, an associate professor of medical education and a member of the bioethics program at the University of Michigan, who says intense competition between scientists is causing them to worry about things they shouldn’t be thinking about, such as how their data will be interpreted — whether their research will lead to conclusions their peers might not like.

*** It’s both interesting and significant that a nautilus shell is depicted on the cover of Ghosts of Atlantis for this is one of the most beautiful manifestations of the spiral form in nature, approximating closely to the proportion of the Golden Ratio which was integral to the geometry of antiquity in the construction of sacred buildings including the Giza Pyramids and the Greek Parthenon.

The spiral is the age-old intuitive symbol of spiritual development and our identity with the universe, being found in cultures the world over and reflected in shamanism, serpent cults, dragon lore, geomancy, magic, mysticism and ritual art and dance throughout history; indeed. in Hindu myth, Shiva holds a nautilus shell as a symbol of an instrument of creation.

The nautilus shell closely resembles the type of spiral which is called ‘equiangular’ because of a special property: if a straight line is drawn from the central point, or pole, of the spiral to any point on its curve, it always crosses the curve at exactly the same angle. Another remarkable feature is that this is the only mathematical curve which increases by growth at one end but keeps the form of the entire figure, a characteristic known as self-similarity.

Once, the pole of the spiral was known as the ‘eye of God’. But as an archetypal symbol corresponding to the underlying reality of nature, the spiral has fallen into the realm of Atlantean ‘forgotten knowledge’.
