Atlantis, the Antediluvian Worldby Ignatius Donnelly
[1882]
http://www.sacred-texts.com/atl/ataw/index.htmThis is on record as being one of the most recognized works perpetuating the 'Atlantis mythos' in the modern era. He was an inspiration for the Theosophical works of Blavatsky as well as the Edgar Cayce 'readings' of Atlantis..
I find it to have a very strong dose of speculation and propaganda, but a valuable read nonetheless....
