This book presents evidence that an advanced civilization once existed in the area of the Atlantic Ocean in ancient times and, except for a few remnants, has since vanished due to cataclysmic activity. Spence does a compelling job in detailing the various myths and legends of the Aztecs, Brazilian Indians and the North American Indians, all in full support of the existence of Atlantis. The recent discovery of ancient underwater cities are causing renewed interest in Atlantis and the work of Spence.

This book presents evidence that an advanced civilization once existed in the area of the Pacific Ocean in ancient times and, except for a few remnants, has vanished due to cataclysmic activity. Spence reveals supporting evidence from many disciplines including geology, archaeology, mythology, biology, linguistics (including word origins), and the transmission of various customs. Recent discoveries of extremely old, sunken cities near India and Cuba date to far older times than we could have ever imagined. This makes it possible that in writing this exciting book, Spence was well ahead of his...

When the Spanish took over Central America in the 16th and 17th centuries they made certain to destroy the writings and holy books of the native Mayans in an effort to convert them to Christianity. Few texts survived, yet one did of the highest importance. It is called The Popol Vuh. It is the creation story of the Mayan culture and, according to the author, this was the first English rendering of that text. It tells the story of a great flood, gods who created mankind, and a number of other interesting parallels to mythologies from around the world. This is the "Genesis" of the mysterious...

Atlantis is a legendary continent that is said to have disappeared sometime in the ancient past. Lewis Spence presents evidence that Atlantis was located somewhere in the western hemisphere, in and around Central America.He does an impressive job of comparing Indian myths from various lands including Peru, Brazil, Central America, North America and the Atlantean story from the great philosopher, Plato. Many myths duplicate themselves, leading one to believe that they had a common source. That source, according to Spence, was Atlantis.

Hero Tales and Legends of the Rhine by Lewis Spence (1874-1955) was published in 1915. Unlike other books this volume has taken only the purest form of the tales and not relied on translations.

The table of contents includes Topographical and historical, The Rhine in folklore and literature, Cleves to the Loewenburg, Drachenfels to Rheinstein, Falkenburg to Auerbach, Worms and the Nibelungenlied, and Heidelberg to Saeckingen.

Originally published during the early part of the twentieth century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of topics.

The volume contains an engaging study of life in Ancient Mexico, offering a diverse range of information on history, language, mythology and religion.

Since the days of Southey the romantic literature of Spain has not received from English writers and critics the amount of study and attention it undoubtedly deserves.

An abundance of literature exists on the subject of the Rhine and its legends, but with few exceptions the works on it which are accessible to English speaking peoples are antiquated in spirit and verbiage, and their authors have been content to accept the first version of such legends and traditions as came their way...
