Opis

This work, written far back at the beginning of the 1600s by Roger Bacon, is a then-modern, Renaissance Era attempt to echo Plato's account of Atlantis. Leaving the work conspicuously undone (as Plato did) it is both interesting and spiritually inclined. It is perhaps for its predictions that this work is notable; for Bacon appears to have fathomed a world that, technologically speaking, is remarkably similar to that in which we live today. For Bacon, the mystic land of Atlantis was located to the West of the Americas, somewhere past Peru.
