Secret Cities of Old South America, (Paperback)

The original 1952 edition, meticulously preserved. This edition moves beyond the sterile, mass-market reproductions often found today to bring you a premium Collector's Facsimile. Every page maintains the historical pagination and aesthetic of the source text, paired with a bespoke cover design unique to this imprint. Secret Cities of Old South America draws on more than a decade of research in six languages, combining little-known source material with firsthand travel accounts gathered from explorers who penetrated the jungles, mountains, and hidden regions of Central and South America. Wilkins argues that the answers to the riddles of lost continents such as Atlantis, Mu, and Pan may be found both beneath the oceans and across the lands of the West Indies and the American tropics, presenting evidence of vanished civilizations, catastrophic upheavals, and forgotten empires. The book surveys startling claims, including accounts of a Gold Empire, traditions of Amazonian women, biblical parallels such as "Old Man Noah and the Ark," and reports of strange and fearsome animals inhabiting remote forests and swamps. Substantiated, the author asserts, by years of travel and comparative research, the work seeks to open new perspectives on the ancient past of the New World, where legend and history intersect and the secrets of lost civilizations remain hidden for those willing to pursue them.
