The lost island of Atlantis, by Edward Taylor Fletcher (1816 - 1897)

This project is complete and all audio files can be found in the catalogue: https://librivox.org/the-lost-island-of-atlantis-by-edward-taylor-fletcher/
In this paper, read before the Literary and Historical Society, Quebec, Fletcher demonstrates methodically what he perceives as evidence for the existence of the island of Atlantis. He begins by documenting the historical instances Atlantis is referred to in ancient texts, even if only as a myth (Part 1), continues on to analyze linguistic elements that might indicate an Atlantean origin (Part 2), and also presents a connection between the American and the European fossil flora and amber fauna, suggesting that Atlantis is the missing link (Part 3). At the end, he makes mention of the deep-sea soundings of the Atlantic ocean and other geological findings (Part 4). The Lost Island, a poem by Fletcher, is included as Part 5 of this audiobook. - Summary by Rapunzelina

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Thank you, Larry!

I've got the next 3 parts up, which complete the paper; next, as part 5 of the project, I'll work on a poem by the same author found here: https://archive.org/details/lostislandatlant00flet

Part 2 is mainly about the Basque language, Part 3 is about fossil flora and amber fauna, and Part 4 has geological elements I would say.

Thank you, Larry!

I mentioned this paper to my sister, and she remarked that the Welsh language is related to the Basque language. Now I don't know if that's a fact. There could indeed be a link between the two, or it might be coincidental. Or it just might be that refugees from Atlantis also landed on Wales :mrgreen:

Here's part 5, the poem: https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/lostisland_05_fletcher_128kb.mp3 at 31:03
