Colin Wilson
Atlantis and the Old Ones
 |
Colin Wilson , certainly no stranger to QuestCon, has been promoting the significance of Stan Gooch's fascinating work on Neanderthal man for years, since it provides good evidence that civilisation had its foundation tens of millennia before its accepted rise at the end of the last Ice Age. From the origins of mining in Africa to ancient evidence of the smelting of metals, maritime exploration and knowledge of the geodetic values of the earth and its relationship to the heavens, all argue the existence of advanced souls during what we know as the Palaeolithic age, between 100,000 and 10,000 years ago. |
In his previous book, THE ATLANTIS BLUEPRINT (2002), Colin attempted
to bring together our current understanding of the archaic origins of
human civilisation. That was three years ago. So much has come to light
since then that Colin felt compelled to write a sequel, published in
2005 by Bear and Company, entitled ATLANTIS AND THE OLD ONES, with the
Old Ones being Neanderthal man, whom he argues are responsible for augmenting
the sudden advance in human development sometime around 100,000 years
ago.

Colin Wilson is the author of over 120 books, and arguably even as many as 150 - he has lost count himself! From books such as A BOOK OF BOOZE (1974) (he is today tee-total) to ALIEN DAWN (1998) and seminal classic THE OCCULT: A HISTORY (1971), Colin excels in the field of writing like no other British author. He is also a regular contributor to THE MAIL newspaper, where he writes on everything from mass murderers to the mind of terrorists. He lives with his wife Joy in a cottage in Cornwall where they set up home after fleeing from London following the worldwide media attention created by the publication of his first book THE OUTSIDER in 1956. |
