This book sounds like something I can read to gain historical knowledge. I've heard about Atlantis before. I've even watched it in a Greek movie, so I know a little about them. I don't mind reading about them and other Egypt mythologies in the book.

I enjoyed reading your detailed review of "ATLANTIS REVEALED BY MEDIEVAL AND NASA OCEAN FLOOR MAPS & ANCIENT MYTHOLOGY" by Riaan Booysen. It sounds like Booysen presents a compelling case for his theories, drawing from a diverse range of sources including ancient mythology, historical maps, and biblical scriptures. It's fascinating how he weaves together different threads of evidence to support his arguments about Atlantis and its potential connections to biblical stories and natural phenomena like the Great Flood.

The fact that Booysen respects people's beliefs despite his own doubts is commendable, and it's good to hear that the book is well-edited and accessible despite its scholarly content. Your recommendation for researchers, historians, and geographers underscores the interdisciplinary nature of Booysen's work.

Thanks for sharing your insights—I'm intrigued to delve into this book myself now!

We always talk about Atlantis and how it sank, never to be found again. However, we never once thought about finding it on available land. The author puts forth an interesting perspective. Congratulations on BOTD, and best wishes for future projects.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting book focusing on attempting to prove the existence of the city of Atlantis utilizing ancient maps and texts. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Sounds very useful educational wise and interesting from cultural and historical points of view. I believe every child at some moment was fascinated by mythology and many carried this interest growing up as well, so with gratitude I accept your gift and congratulate with BOTD!

I have never been to Atlantis but this review already gives me imagery of Atlantis. I also like the book's title Atlantis Revealed, this already sounds like a revelation of Atlantis and I can't wait to read and know more about this place.

This is an interesting book in the style of a text book exploring the myths of Atlantis using legends, cartography and science. I did enjoy this, but found I tuned out after multiple maps from different periods. Great for those with a stronger interest.

Maps have always intrigued me, I like to observe the small details. The idea of presenting ancient maps and comparing them to the new ones is fascinating. I'm curious about the extent of the Great Flood's impact on the development of the new world.

There's a feeling of exciting mystery and suspense that comes with mythical stories. The unveiling of some thoughts that are backed by facts keeps one wondering if it could actually be true. Surely there's more to this world than meets the eye. Congrats to the author on botd!

I’m looking forward to digging into this book to know the author’s research about Plato’s description of Atlantis and the stories about the beliefs of different tribes. I also like reading books with visual images.

I am glad that Mr. Boysen can research his beliefs. His doubts have led him to conclude things that others might disagree with, but that’s OK. Congratulations on BOTD!

'Official Review: Atlantis Revealed by Medieval and NASA Ocean Floor Maps and Ancient Mythology' by Riaan Booysen provides the readers with enriching and complete information about the non-fiction book. It relates valuable information about the author. The point that the book tries to prove Plato's description of the continent Atlantis using ancient maps is worth mentioning in the review. Readers go through Egyptian mythology and learn more about characters such as Serpents, Osiris, Isis, and Ra. They learn about the history and beliefs of different tribes. Also, as mentioned in the review, the author supports his write-ups with various images, maps, and pictures relating to the various topics. Learning that the book contains stories from the Bible and is well-researched was great!

The book ATLANTIS REVEALED BY MEDIEVAL AND NASA OCEAN FLOOR MAPS & ANCIENT MYTHOLOGY by Riaan Booysen appears to contain so much evidence and historical proof of Atlantis I'm starting to think it is not just a myth. Congratulations on BOTD.
