He frequently refers to Atlantis, devoting the final chapter to the subject, but it adds nothing to the solution of the mystery. However, I was surprised at a number of small errors that should have been edited out; twice he converts 396 metres as 13,000ft (p60). He claims that the base of the Great Pyramid was levelled to a tolerance of 0.6cm(p74) when apparently he means the perimeter. He claims that an insulator holds an electrical charge(p82) when he means a capacitor. He describes an electrode made of glass(p137) which is not possible, as glass is an insulator.<\/p>\n<p>Brennan, in an earlier book, <em>Occult Reich<\/em><sup>[<\/sup><a href=\"https:\/\/atlantipedia.ie\/samples\/main-bibliography\/b\/\"><sup>027<\/sup><\/a><sup>]<\/sup>, touched on the subject of <a href=\"https:\/\/atlantipedia.ie\/samples\/lemuria\/\">Lemuria\u00a0<\/a>with the following two gems, <em>\u201cAtlantis, in earliest times, was actually part of Lemuria\u201d<\/em> and <em>\u201cthe degenerate line of Lemuria is still with us,\u00a0 although only just and obviously dying.
