The author takes on the myth of Atlantis with a scientific approach. He looks for similarities across different myths from different mythologies as well as to the charts of the sea ground.

The book "ATLANTIS REVEALED BY MEDIEVAL AND NASA OCEAN FLOOR MAPS & ANCIENT MYTHOLOGY" by Riaan Booysen explores Plato's description of Atlantis using ancient maps and delves into various myths and beliefs, including those of different tribes and Egyptian mythology. It supports its content with images and maps, providing an in-depth exploration. Thank you for a great review.

This book takes readers through different tribes' histories and beliefs. Some tribes believe only their beliefs are right. How can they be so certain? I recommend this book, congrats on BOTD!

I really enjoyed reading this review and I believe reading the book “Atlantis Revealed” will reveal more. I would love to know more about the relationship between the Great Flood and how it relates to Atlantis going under. I love reading about ancient histories.

Thank you for your well informed review on ATLANTIS REVEALED BY MEDIEVAL AND NASA OCEAN FLOOR MAPS & ANCIENT MYTHOLOGY by Riaan Booysen. This is a book that tries to prove Plato's description of Atlantis using ancient maps. Furthermore, it takes readers through history and beliefs of different tribes. Riaan Booysen references his previous works, Thera and the Exodus and Barbelo, and uses Christianity to show truths, such as the Great Flood possibly being the reason for Atlantis going under the ocean. The book is written like a textbook, with 20 chapters, a conclusion, bibliography, and reference. I love mythology and Atlantis and with this book being temporarily free on Amazon, I definitely put it on my shelf to read. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

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.
