OCTOBER 2024 The recent cyber attack on the Internet Archive is deplorable and can be reasonably compared with the repeated burning of the Great Library of Alexandria. I have used the Wayback Machine extensively, but, until the full extent of the permanent damage is clear, I am unable to assess its effect on Atlantipedia. At […]Read More »
Joining The Dots
I have now published my new book, Joining The Dots, which offers a fresh look at the Atlantis mystery. I have addressed the critical questions of when, where and who, using Plato’s own words, tempered with some critical thinking and a modicum of common sense.Read More »
Great Sphinx
Lehner, Mark
Mark Lehner is the author of what is considered by some to be the definitive book[437] on the Egyptian Pyramids, although his earlier work has drawn a share of harsh criticism from the likes of Margaret Morris[683](b). However, his road to ‘conventional’ 
Egyptology began with a fascination with Edgar Cayce and his Atlantis psychic readings. In 1974 Lehner wrote[436] of his support for Cayce’s ‘revelation’ of a connection between Atlantis and a pre-dynastic Egypt. He includes an attempt to explain away such wonders as humans with ‘animal appendages’ including legs with feathers and ‘electrical surgical knives’.
It may be pertinent that in 1973 Lehner was enrolled at the American University in Cairo, thanks to a grant from the Edgar Cayce Foundation. Nevertheless, it appears that by 1977 he had begun his journey towards orthodoxy by renouncing his support for Cayce’s views on ancient Egypt. His comprehensive book on the Pyramids, The Complete Pyramids [437], studiously avoids any reference to either Cayce or Atlantis.
>In 1994, Vol.5 No.3 of the KMT journal(c), Lehner published a critical review of Robert Schoch‘s hypothesis regarding the redating of the Great Sphinx. <
An outline of his work, as an Egyptologist, by Evan Hadingham was published in the February 2010 edition of the Smithsonian Magazine(a).
