Description

An investigation into the ancient technologically advanced artifacts amassed by Father Carlo Crespi and how they offer proof of Atlantis in South America

Includes photos and descriptions of the strange machines and beautiful artifacts that once comprised the Crespi Treasure

Connects Crespis treasures to readings by Edgar Cayce and Annie Besants descriptions of Atlantean colonies in Ecuador

Reveals the nuclear war between the Atlanteans and the Aryans and the radioactive evidence left behind in the Bahamas and Pakistan

In 1923 an Italian priest, Father Carlo Crespi, came to Ecuador as a missionary. Befriending the indigenous Shuar people, he learned of an ancient treasure they had sworn to protect hidden within a network of underground tunnels. As newly converted Christians, the Shuar wanted to share with their priest these amazing anachronistic artifacts--golden sarcophagi from Egypt, bronze plaques depicting famous scenes from antiquity bearing both Quechua and Phoenician writing, copper wheels and gears as hard as steel, strange machines, and many other inexplicable items. Crespi faithfully maintained the collection until just before his death when the Ecuadorian government purchased it from the church and many of these priceless treasures were lost forever.

Providing detailed descriptions and his own photos of the advanced technologies and beautiful art that comprised the Crespi Treasure, Richard Wingate reveals that the ancient civilization responsible for these advanced artifacts was Atlantis. Connecting Crespis treasures to Edgar Cayces descriptions of advanced technology in the distant past and the Atlantean colonies of Ecuador described by Annie Besant, Wingate explores other evidence of Atlantis in South America and the Bahamas, including geographically out-of-place underwater ruins and buried magnetic ore. Investigating ancient records, such as the Mahabharata, he shows how a prehistoric nuclear war between the Atlanteans and the Aryans ultimately resulted in the sinking of Atlantis, and he uncovers the radioactive archaeological evidence left behind. Explaining how our ancient ancestors regretted their nuclear actions and destroyed or buried their advanced technology, entering into a self-imposed Stone Age, he shows how our civilization is headed down the same path and that only through green choices can we avoid the same fate as Atlantis.

Reviews

This is a long-overdue book by an authority on the Carlo Crespi collection and what it means to our understanding of the first travelers to the Americas, long before Columbus. Not only is the case made for Atlantis in the Amazon, but Wingate also shows how this collection sounds a clear warning that humanitys destructive ways are drawing us ever nearer to the same annihilation that wiped out this once thriving and advanced culture. Sadly, Wingate makes the case for the high probability that we are to go the way of Atlantis by continuing to use nuclear energy. * Robert R.

The controversial Crespi Collection is presented here by the man who personally examined its artifacts before they were confiscated by Ecuadoran authorities.
