The Atlantis Secret - A Complete Decoding of Plato's Lost Continent

By Alan F. Alford

THE CATACLYSM OF ALL CATACLYSMS

Ancient man witnessed an extraordinary array of cosmic activity, comets and meteors lighting up the skies, fireballs exploding in the atmosphere, and meteorites plunging to the ground. But what effects did such things have on the human psyche? In this remarkable book, Alan F. Alford explains how the sages of old drew an astonishing conclusion: long ago, they decided, a living planet had exploded and seeded the beginning of all life on earth. This 'Cataclysm of all cataclysms' - a forerunner of the modern Big Bang - had been witnessed by no man, and yet it became the cornerstone of the Sumerian and Egyptian civilizations.

THE MYTH OF ALL MYTHS

In Sumer and Egypt, the Exploded Planet myth was encoded in the tales of gods and peoples coming down from the sky. Millennia later, the ancient Greeks adopted similar ideas. In the myths and cults of the Olympian gods, in the mystery schools, in the cosmogonies of Thales, Anaximander, Heraclitus, Anaxagoras, Empedocles and Philolaos, in the 'soul religion' of Orpheus, Pythagoras, Parmenides, Socrates and Plato, in all of these places, the Exploded Planet cosmogony is to be found.

THE SECRET OF ALL SECRETS

Plato was initiated into the Exploded Planet secret, and used it as the basis for his story of Atlantis. In a theory that unifies all of Greek religion and explains every single aspect of the Atlantis story (a genuine first) Alan. F. Alford explains that the modern-day quest for Atlantis in the form of an ancient civilization, lost beneath the waves, is completely misguided. To search for the truth of the story - and Plato insisted that it was true - the reader must contemplate eternal mysteries such as the beginning of time, the role of cataclysms in the flux of the Universe, and the spiritual identity and destiny of man. This is 'The Atlantis Secret'.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT 'TIL YOU READ IT!

THE ATLANTIS SECRET is a truly ground-breaking book that offers a revolutionary, but common-sense solution to some of the greatest mysteries of our age. It will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in the religion, myths, and mysticism of the Greeks, and is essential reading for those who seek true understanding of the mystery of Atlantis.

Alan F. Alford

Alan F. Alford was an independent researcher and author, who was increasingly being recognised as the world's leading authority on ancient mythology and the esoteric meaning of ancient and modern religions. Since the mid-1980s, Alan Alford had been on a quest for the truth of human existence, seeking answers to the eternal questions of who we are and where we come from. Inspired, in the first instance, by the controversial theories of Erich von Daniken and Zecharia Sitchin, Alford focused his research on the enigmatic 'gods' of ancient mythology, pursuing his quest with one single-minded objective - to decode the secrets of the gods and thereby understand who or what these gods actually were. One of the most notable features of Alford's quest was his willingness to challenge his own preconceptions, as well as those of others. In 1998, he stunned readers of his first book 'Gods of the New Millennium' by issuing a retraction of his 'flesh and blood gods' theory in his sequel 'The Phoenix Solution', in which he argued that the Egyptian gods personified the cataclysmic powers of creation. Alford's arguments were indeed so powerful that Zecharia Sitchin, the world's leading ancient astronaut theorist, threatened him with a 50 million dollar lawsuit on the grounds that his comments discredited his (Sitchin's) theories and destroyed his reputation. In fact, Alford's primary aim was to promote his own theories rather than attacking competitor theories, and this he has done in four further books: 'When The Gods Came Down', 'The Atlantis Secret', 'Pyramid of Secrets', and 'The Midnight Sun'. In these books, Alford argued that ancient religions were 'cults of creation' - i.e. cults whose primary aim was to celebrate and re-enact perpetually the myth of the creation of the Universe - and that the gods personified the cataclysmic powers of creation. And he demonstrated, beyond any doubt, that these ancient religions transmitted a profound legacy of creational and cataclysmic thought to modern-day Judaism and Christianity. Alan and his wife Sumu, spent much of their spare time doing charity work in Nepal and it was there that Alan died in a tragic accident in November of 2012.
