The Atlantis Conspiracy [Paperback] Asher, Maxine

Description

This book deals with Dr. Maxine Asher’s 1973 expedition to Spain, off Cardiz, in 1973. The book works, mostly on the strength of all the details Dr. Asher gives about all the red tape and hassles that went into carrying out her trip (you’ll better appreciate all that is involved with exploring ruins in a foriegn country after reading this book), but the book reaches no real conclusions on Atlantis itself, and Asher herself seemed to have been quite disappointed in the expedition. She did explore while Franco was still in power, though, so what could you expect..? As for the Conspiracy part of it, Asher raises some interesting points on the reluctance of the media and, in particular, religious leaders in terms of acknowledging Atlantis, without sounding like Jim Garrison. Her writing style is breezy and the book is also short, making for a quick read. ( Amazon customer)
