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

Among the records lost forever to civilization in the destruction of the library at Alexandria, there may have been those of 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 an ancient civilization that was, even technologically, far more advanced than ours.

In Beyond the Pillars of Hercules, David Hershiser, citing evidence from numerous sources, ancient and new, presents a strong 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 offer the reader a new set of tools for thinking about Atlantis.
