Soviet Baloney

A curious find and something that elevated itself to receive the bought! tag. As did a thing or two that spouse-of-the-website uraniumgirl will likely post about soon.

Atlantis — Antlantology: Basic Problems, by N Zhirov

Progress Publishers, Moscow

First Printing 1970

Printed in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics! I don’t know that I have any other books published in Soviet Russia. Insert Yakov Smirnoff-ism.

A densely written treatise leaning heavily on geology and related subjects as well as original texts to support the idea of Atlantis. I confess that fringe ideas interest me, but being a skeptical sort, they interest me the same way that diseases interest doctors. That said, I doubt my interest is great enough to keep this one — it is likely headed to ebay. I can probably make a tidy profit.
