audiobook Admiral de Grasse and American Independence by Charles Lee Lewis in History

Description

An investigation into the ancient technologically advanced artifacts amassed by Father Carlo Crespi and how they offer proof of Atlantis in South America • Includes photos and descriptions of the strange machines and beautiful artifacts that once comprised the “Crespi Treasure” • Connects Crespi’s treasures to readings by Edgar Cayce and Annie Besant’s descriptions of Atlantean colonies in Ecuador • Reveals the nuclear war between the Atlanteans and the Aryans and the radioactive evidence left behind in the Bahamas and Pakistan In 1923 an Italian priest; Father Carlo Crespi; came to Ecuador as a missionary. Befriending the indigenous Shuar people; he learned of an ancient treasure they had sworn to protect hidden within a network of underground tunnels. As newly converted Christians; the Shuar wanted to share with their priest these amazing anachronistic artifacts--golden sarcophagi from Egypt; bronze plaques depicting famous scenes from antiquity bearing both Quechua and Phoenician writing; copper wheels and gears as hard as steel; strange machines; and many other inexplicable items. Crespi faithfully maintained the collection until just before his death when the Ecuadorian government purchased it from the church and many of these priceless treasures were lost forever. Providing detailed descriptions and his own photos of the advanced technologies and beautiful art that comprised the “Crespi Treasure;” Richard Wingate reveals that the ancient civilization responsible for these advanced artifacts was Atlantis. Connecting Crespi’s treasures to Edgar Cayce’s descriptions of advanced technology in the distant past and the Atlantean colonies of Ecuador described by Annie Besant; Wingate explores other evidence of Atlantis in South America and the Bahamas; including geographically out-of-place underwater ruins and buried magnetic ore. Investigating ancient records; such as the Mahabharata; he shows how a prehistoric nuclear war between the Atlanteans and the Aryans ultimately resulted in the sinking of Atlantis; and he uncovers the radioactive archaeological evidence left behind. Explaining how our ancient ancestors regretted their nuclear actions and destroyed or buried their advanced technology; entering into a self-imposed Stone Age; he shows how our civilization is headed down the same path and that only through “green” choices can we avoid the same fate as Atlantis.

Forgotten ValorBy VA DuckThis is a book from an earlier era; written in 1945; author Charles Lee Lewis tells the naval exploits of French Admiral de Grasse - a hero to all Americans at the end of the 18th century and forgotten by nearly all Americans by start of the 21st century. The Admiral; François-Joseph Paul; marquis de Grasse Tilly; comte de Grasse denied the British fleet access to the Chesapeake Bay in September 1781; thereby removing any hope of retreat; or resupply to the stranded army of General Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown; Virginia. The naval "skirmish" preventing British Admiral Graves access to the Bay certainly doomed Cornwallis; demoralizing British voters; causing the fall of Lord North's government; leading to the treaty of Paris which produced American independence. Ultimately and sadly; America's hero dies in 1788; ignored in his native France; out of favor with the court of Louis XVI for his loss in the Caribbean at the battle of Saint's Passage and then his subsequent; Ill advised - all too public- defense of his actions.The book tells the naval history of de Grasse; but comes short of presenting a biography: by the end the reader has been exposed to a full spectrum of naval engagements; but still seems to know little of the man behind the uniform. And in fairness to the author - he may well have; as a naval historian; accomplished his objective. The read will take some patience: Lewis begins with the assumption that he is teaching naval warfare at the Naval Academy at Annapolis. Names like Gaxotte; Callander (Geoffery); and Mahan are presented without introduction or explanation (Naval Historians). Lewis has facility with the French language that he loves to flaunt - forgetting (or taunting) that the readership does not. Whole sentences are presented sans translation; in one-up-manship style. Then too; there are times when whole chapters pass with the barest presence of the subject; causing the cynical reader to wonder whether the research became too thin to support the story.The book is; however; easily readable - the afore mentioned shortcomings may be either simply ignored or fact-found in parallel with the read. de Grasse is an incredibly important contributor to American independence and it is difficult to find biographic description outside of naval analysis; the purpose of which is different by design. If you are interested in the period; the War; or 18th century naval engagements; and certainly in de Grasse himself; this is a recommended (though specialized) read.
