Description

At the center of Donnelly's thesis are a set of similarities between widely separated cultures. This he interpreted as evidence that all civilization diffused outward from a central point (a now sunken continent in the mid-Atlantic). He cites mythological, linguistic, ethnographic and other evidence for this theory, which at the time seemed to add up to an airtight case.

  • An Overlooked Gem

    By S9S
    A true diamond in the rough. The minute musings of a magnificient mind unencumbered by over-skeptic resistance or an arrogant assumption ,oft repeated through history , of all known knowledge being assimilated. The book of human history and understanding is forever growing with torn pages long lost to collective mind and covered with the decaying disdain of incurious generations. Absence of evidence is , truly, not evidence of absence. May this jewel continue to sparkle with the unquenchable fire of enquiry and exploration through the sands of time and be someday vindicated long after the bones of its detractors have turned to dust while this diamond remains.
