CAN ARCHAEOLOGY’S GREATEST MYSTERIES BE TRACED BACK TO THE LOST CIVILIZATION OF ATLANTIS?The Great Pyramid. Stonehenge. Machu Picchu. For centuries; these and other sacred sites have attracted pilgrims; scholars; and adventurers drawn by the possibility that their true spiritual and technological secrets remain hidden. Who could have built these elaborate monuments? How did they do it? And what were their incomprehensible efforts and sacrifices designed to accomplish?Now comes a revolutionary theory that connects these mysteries to reveal a hidden global pattern--the ancient work of an advanced civilization whose warnings of planetary cataclysm now reverberate across one hundred millennia. Here is startling evidence of an intelligent society dating back as much as 100;000 years--one that sailed the oceans of the world; building monuments to preserve and communicate its remarkable wisdom. The Atlantis Blueprint is the authors’ term for a complex network of connections between these sacred sites that trace back to Atlantis: a sophisticated maritime society that charted the globe from its home base in Antarctica...until it was obliterated by devastating global changes it anticipated but could not escape. Opening up a Pandora’s box of ancient mysteries; lost worlds; and millennial riddles; The Atlantis Blueprint is a story as controversial; fascinating; dangerous--and inspiring--as any ever told.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The Seamstress: Purchased at .comBy depThis is the story of Sara Tuval Bernstein and her experience in the Holocaust. Her original name was Seren which she changed after the war. Much of her experience was with the Holocaust in Romania. Sara was a very strong willed young lady; not afraid to stand up for herself even though she was Jewish. She had a talent for dress making which helped her survive much of her time in Romania. She spent a year doing forced labor and eventually ended up in the notorious women's camp of Ravensbruck. When Sara was rescued by American soldiers in April 1945 she weighed only 54 pounds. In spite of all she went through she did survive. A fascinating story and a great read.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. An Interesting MemoirBy Michael FishmanThis was a good book and it's one I would certainly recommend to anyone interested in reading about the Holocaust; but I can't say it's anything that's going to stick with me for very long.As much as I respect Seren Tuvel Bernstein - and while I have nothing but admiration for her strength and her courage - I'm sorry to say that I wasn't very interested in the first part of the book that took place starting in 1929 and her reminiscences of her childhood and young adult years. While that doesn't take away from the importance of her memoir; or its historical significance; it wasn't until her memoir reached November 1943 and she and her sister were arrested in Budapest that her story really picked up speed for me. Still; this is an interesting memoir and just because it fell a little flat for me is no reason for anyone interested in World War 2 or the Holocaust to pass it by.Never forget. Thank you Ms. Tuval Bernstein for helping us remember that. May your memory always be for a blessing.flag0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Marvelous Tale of Survival.By motley readerI have read lots of Holocaust nonfiction and fiction. What sets this story apart and makes it unique is a female perception and it's post WWII material.I think it has a very slow start because the author starts with her earliest memories in Romania. If you decide to read; you will soon be swept into the craziness of WWII and bigotry. It has been a month since I read the book and I am still haunted by some of the experiences of the author.For.me this is a must read for those interested in this topic.
