Beyond the Pillars of Hercules: Atlantis and Tyrus in Plato's Writings, Biblical Verses, and the Works of Helena Blavatsky, Edgar Cayce, and Ruth Mont

Among the records lost forever to civilization in the destruction of the library at Alexandria, there may have been those that discussed the existence and exact location of Atlantis. Without that incontrovertible evidence, scholars have been left to speculate and interpret bits and pieces gleaned from ancient texts to try to build a case for the existence of Atlantis-an ancient civilization that may have been, even technologically, far more advanced than ours. David Hershiser cites numerous sources-ancient and new-to make the case that Ezekiel's account of Tyrus was really about Atlantis. A persuasive comparison of various editions of biblical verses, Plato's writings, and the works of theosophist Helena Blavatsky and psychics Edgar Cayce and Ruth Montgomery offers the reader a new set of tools for rethinking Atlantis.
