The Shadow of Atlantis
Colonel Alexander Braghine

First published in 1940, The Shadow of Atlantis is one of the great classics of Atlantis research. The Shadow of Atlantis amasses a great deal of archaeological, anthropological, historical and scientific evidence in support of a lost continent in the Atlantic Ocean. Braghine covers such diverse topics as Egyptians in Central America, the myth of Quetzalcoatl, the Basque language and its connection with Atlantis, the connections with the ancient pyramids of Mexico, Egypt and Atlantis, the sudden demise of mammoths, legends of giants and much more.

Braghine was a linguist and spends part of the book tracing ancient languages to Atlantis and studying little-known inscriptions in Brazil, deluge myths and the connections between ancient languages. Braghine takes us on a fascinating journey in search of Atlantis. The myth of a sunken continent is examined in the light of archaeological and scientific evidence and the echoes of Atlantean civilization are tracked through space and time.
