Items related to Land Of Legend
A title in the "Great Mysteries" series which presents each topic through a combination of text, illustrations and reconstructions. The author assesses the evidence and invites readers to draw their own conclusions. In this book Crawford looks at the stories surrounding some of the world's most famous lost peoples and places, and examines the evidence we have uncovered to show that, while some of them really existed, others belong more to the world of fantasy. Until the beginning of the century, few people believed ancient Greek legends about the Minoans on Crete. Today, however, we can see the excavation work done by Sir Arthur Evans at Knossos to unearth a hidden civilization. Babylon, too, has been discovered, but as for such lands as Camelot, Eldorado, Atlantis and Mu, the author examines the evidence and invites readers to decide for themselves how much truth lies behind the legends.
