Atlantis: The Antediluvian World
Ignatius Loyola Donnelly
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
"Atlantis: The Antediluvian World is a book published during 1882 by Minnesota populist politician Ignatius L. Donnelly, who was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during 1831. Donnelly considered Plato's account of Atlantis as largely factual and attempted to establish that all known ancient civilizations were descended from this supposed lost land. Many of its theories are the source of many modern-day concepts we have about Atlantis, like the civilization and technology beyond its time, the origins of all present races and civilizations, a civil war between good and evil, etc." (Summary by Wikipedia) (16 hr 54 min)

Very Interesting

This book is filled with very interesting thoughts about Atlantis and is very entertaining. The readers did a good job although there are a few that could have done better.
fair enough

amending my previous review, it gets pretty good toward the middle. I want Mike Harris to narrate my life at my wake.

You guys thought the first reader was bad? The woman after him speaks like a rejected news anchor. every sentence has the same downward inflection and zero contextual tonality. She also mispronounces so many words. I just cannot focus on the text.
Well...

i love guy's voice who goes all deep as Yahweh, and unfolds it like an epic bard lol. and the other guy who does all the assorted rather high-pitch uber-nerd voices when academics are quoted, like the prof had a stick up him & a stuffy nose when he wrote his geologic paper, i was like HA YES!
Trove of Sources and History

Don't care about the reader, this book is full of HUNDREDS of references from tribes and worldwide cultures knowledge of Atlantis. If you are mildly interested in Atlantis you'll miss out on the reality of it all by passing this book up.
