BOOK REVIEW
Before Atlantis: New Evidence of a Previous Technological Civilization by Mark J. Carlotto 2020

About the Author
Mark Carlotto is an aerospace engineer with over thirty years of experience in satellite imaging, remote sensing, signal and image processing, pattern recognition, and app development. He received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1981 and has published over one hundred technical articles and written six books. In Before Atlantis, Dr. Carlotto draws from his unique background and experience to propose new answers to basic questions concerning human origins, ancient technology, and archaeological enigmas.

About the Book
What if ancient sites such as Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza, the Acropolis, and Temple Mount are not only thousands of years old but much older? Until recently, a lack of hard evidence has led mainstream archaeologists to dismiss theories of past civilizations as pseudoscientific attempts to resurrect ancient myths and legends. However, new archaeological discoveries are beginning to challenge conventional explanations. Inspired by Charles Hapgood’s hypothesis that the ice ages were the result of shifts in the geographic location of Earth’s poles, independent researcher and author Mark Carlotto has discovered that numerous sites throughout the world are aligned to what appear to have been four previous positions of the North Pole over the past 100,000 years. By virtue of their alignment to ancient poles, Dr. Carlotto proposes a new hypothesis: that the original sites were first established by a previous advanced technological civilization who existed throughout the world tens of thousands of years ago and later co-opted by our ancestors who rebuilt and expanded over and around the older structures while preserving the layout and orientation of the site to the original pole. Before Atlantis considers the possibility that this previous technological civilization could have developed from an earlier migration of modern humans out of Africa, which later co-existed with our primitive hunter-gatherer ancestors, and that past encounters with this older civilization were the source of ancient myths and legends of powerful gods, lost continents, and even Atlantis.

Summary of Introduction (excerpt)
In the 1960s, John F. Kennedy’s dream of landing a man on the moon was just a few years away from being a man in space. In the 1970s, the man-made spacecrafts were sent to Mars to search for extraterrestrial intelligence. This discovery was immediately dismissed by NASA and the Soviet Union, but has since been replaced with something more exciting and more exciting since then. The program was designed by the Soviets and the Soviets, but it soon became obsolete. This is the story of a human experiment in space exploration that led to the discovery of alien life on Mars. The project was designed in the mid-1980s and has been called “the Apollo”.

After completing a doctorate in engineering, I decided to pursue a career in the aerospace industry. In the ‘twilight’zone between science and fiction, I became fascinated with archaeology and archaeology. I discovered that many ancient structures in Mexico were aligned, not aligned, to the North American North Pole. This led to the discovery that the structures are aligned to the north, west, north, east, west and west. The North American site is located in Alaska, 15,000 years old, and is a North American native. It is the site of a previous North American pole that was aligned to Giza, Egypt.

Humans could not have built these structures, which are as old as the ones they used to be. If humans didn’t, they could have been influenced by extraterrestrial influence. This could have evolved over the last 70,000 years, and led to the existence of an older, more technologically developed civilization. The alignments of these ancient sites were the key to solving this puzzle, and I decided to present all the evidence in a book. The book is written for readers interested in exploring the history of the past and future of this ancient civilization, but some parts of it are technical.
