The Antedeluvian World

First published in 1882, this classic work of speculative non-fiction explores the possibility of a global civilization that thrived in antiquity, long before the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans. The book presents a wide range of evidence and conjecture to support the author's theory, including geological and archaeological discoveries, mythology and legend from around the world, and ancient texts that have been interpreted in new ways. The Antediluvian World is a fascinating exploration of alternative history and a must-read for anyone interested in the mysteries of the past.
