Take two million sizable
stones, each weighing several tons and shaped to fit the overall
design of the project, set one in place every five minutes and
after 20 years you will have constructed the Great Pyramid. Or
its facsimile.
Just how this edifice,
and other pyramids, was erected is one of the puzzles of ancient
Egypt, itself a large piece of the puzzle connected to the question
of whether the continent of Atlantis existed, as the Cayce psychic
readings claim. The authors – engineer, psychologist, and
biologist – grounded in the readings as well as science,
maintain a decidedly objective posture. “The question our
book tries to answer,” they explain, “is whether Cayce’s
material was simply imagination, or whether he tapped some source
that allowed him to see a record of past events.”
It is not an easy question
to resolve. Scientists naturally look askance at psychic information – if, that is, they are even aware of it. So, the authors
observe, the readings were not used to guide archaeologic explorations
over past decades. Consider, too: Turn back the clock beyond 4,000
B.C. and most scholars, especially those in Cayce’s day,
believe it was a time of primitive cultures. The readings, however,
give accounts of Atlanteans, described as a technologically advanced
people, having migrated to Egypt – and other locales –
over 12,000 years ago. Also, “the readings mention [human]
ancestors as far back as 10 million years ago, and high civilizations
200,000 years ago.” Remains unearthed in recent years and
carbon dated are adding more credence to the psychic revelations.
First published in 1988,
this second release of Mysteries of Atlantis Revisited includes
an update of discoveries made during the past ten years. Subtle
clues and indications seem to be leaning in favor of the Cayce
account, but these three writers make no claims. Apparently they
are still waiting until all the facts are in.
The authors deserve
applause for resisting two temptations that lesser writers might
have succumbed to. They temper the treatment of technical details
relevant to various scientific facts and explorations; and they
avoid trying to document the accuracy of the psychic readings
given for other topics to convince readers the information isn’t
the product of “simply imagination.” Had they pursued
these, this book may easily have been twice its 200 pages, and
not half as interesting to read as it is.
Atlantis remains a chimerical needle in a problematic
haystack for most archaeologists. Nothing short of the continent
rising before their eyes may ever convince them. Meanwhile, for
readers who subscribe to the accuracy of the psychic records,
the question isn’t whether Atlantis really existed, but
when it will rise from its ocean grave, as the readings assured
us will happen. |
