I did the thing and finished Atlantis: The Antediluvian world and while I learned some, I feel like I lost brain power on this book.
Before I continue, I want to put out a clear disclaimer. I do not agree with Donnelly’s views. Within this episode, I wanted to point out some of the paragraphs that angered me the most. I understand that 1855 was a completely different time but that doesn’t give Donnelly a pass. I have a very hard time being scientifically convinced that skin color determines superiority. I know you all have heard me rant about it and take this book in sizable chunks.
Just like my other ancient sources, I did a background check on Donnelly and tried to paint him in the best light. This book single handedly sparked the Atlantis fever that currently grips the world. He does deserve that credit even if it was politically and religiously motivated. While we are on the subject of religion, I have made reference to the Abrahamic god that is not meant to offend though it probably will.
