Dive into the enigmatic collection of Father Carlo Crespi, a missionary whose Ecuadorian encounters unveiled a trove of anachronistic artifacts. This book meticulously documents strange machines, golden relics, and ancient plaques, presenting them as undeniable evidence of a technologically advanced Atlantean civilization rooted in the Amazon. Wingate skillfully weaves these discoveries with the prophetic visions of Edgar Cayce and Annie Besant, crafting a compelling, if controversial, case for a forgotten history and a devastating ancient global conflict that left its indelible mark.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Wingate presents a meticulously documented collection of anachronistic artifacts, yet his arguments remain firmly rooted in speculation rather than empirical proof. This book is ideal for enthusiasts of theosophical history and alternative archaeology who appreciate detailed descriptions of golden relics and strange machines. However, it will likely frustrate readers seeking rigorous academic validation or those who prefer strictly evidence-based historical narratives. The text’s heavy reliance on prophetic visions may feel unsubstantiated to skeptics, making it a niche appeal for believers in lost high-tech Atlantean civilizations rather than a definitive scholarly work.

If you are captivated by ancient mysteries, the legend of Atlantis, or alternative archaeological theories, this book is for you. Seekers of hidden knowledge and those who question mainstream historical narratives will find a rich, provocative journey through forgotten eras.
🎯 Key themes and symbolism
Ancient Lost Technologies
The book meticulously details Father Crespi's remarkable collection of artifacts, from intricate copper gears to mysterious machines, presenting them not as primitive relics but as remnants of a highly advanced, pre-cataclysmic civilization. It challenges conventional archaeological timelines, suggesting these items are proof of sophisticated engineering far beyond what history typically attributes to ancient South America.
Atlantean South America
Wingate connects the Ecuadorian findings directly to the legendary continent of Atlantis, drawing parallels with psychic readings by Edgar Cayce and theosophical accounts from Annie Besant. This narrative positions the Amazon basin as a key stronghold for Atlantean colonies, exploring how their advanced culture and eventual demise left behind tangible evidence in the region.
Revisionist World History
This work boldly reinterprets global history, proposing that a devastating ancient nuclear conflict between Atlanteans and Aryans shaped our planet's past. By examining radioactive anomalies in locations like the Bahamas and Pakistan, the author constructs a radical alternative timeline, inviting readers to question established historical paradigms and consider a much grander, more perilous ancient world.
