Atlantis and the Kingdom of the Neanderthals - by Colin Wilson (Paperback) (2024)

About the Book

Wilson examines remarkable archaeological discoveries that suggest civilization on Earth is far older than previously realized, and that not only did Atlantis exist but that the civilizing force behind it was the Neanderthals, a sophisticated race markedly dissimilar to the violent brutes of their traditional reputation.

Book Synopsis

The history of Neanderthal influence from Atlantis to the contemporary era

- Provides evidence of Neanderthal man's superior intelligence

- Explores the unexplained scientific and architectural feats of ancient civilizations

- Presents an alternative history of humankind since 7500 B.C. with an emphasis on esoteric traditions and the history of Christianity from the Essenes onward

In Atlantis and the Kingdom of the Neanderthals Colin Wilson presents evidence of a widespread Neanderthal civilization as the origin of sophisticated ancient knowledge. Examining remarkable archaeological discoveries that date back millennia, he suggests that civilization on Earth is far older than we have previously realized. Using this information as a springboard, Wilson then fills in the gaps in the past 100,000 years of human history, providing answers to previously unexplained scientific and architectural feats of ancient civilizations.

Wilson shows that not only did Atlantis exist but that the civilizing force behind it was the Neanderthals. Far from being the violent brutes they are traditionally depicted as, Wilson shows that the Neanderthals had sophisticated mathematical and astrological knowledge, including an understanding of the precession of the equinoxes, and that they possessed advanced telepathic abilities akin to the "group consciousness" evident in flocks of birds and schools of fish. These abilities, he demonstrates, have been transmitted through the ages by the various keepers of the hermetic tradition--including the Templars, Freemasons, and other secret societies. In the course of his investigation, Wilson also finds new information about historical links between the Masonic tradition and the Essenes that indicate that America was "discovered" long before Columbus set sail and that Jesus actually survived crucifixion and fled to France with his wife Mary Magdalene.

Review Quotes

"Atlantis and the Kingdom of the Neandertahals is a fascinating contribution to the debate about ancient civilizations, written with rare psychological insight, and a more than worthy addition to Wilson's canon."-- "Steve Taylor, New Dawn, Nov-Dec 2006"

"Somewhere in the far distant past may not be far enough or distant enough to tell us the truth of our beginnings. Atlantis and the Kingdom of the Neanderthals, 100,000 years of Lost History is a great way to start re-configuring what we know."-- "Noble Augusta, The Intuitive-Connections Network, Jan 2006"
