Atlantis in the Amazon: Lost Technologies and the Secrets of the Crespi Treasure
“The controversial Crespi Collection is presented here by the man who personally examined its artifacts before they were confiscated by Ecuadoran authorities. Richard Wingate’s photographs and descriptions of beautifully made objects representing Assyrian or Babylonian figures document the arrival of Near Eastern culturebearers in South America nearly three thousand years ago.” (Frank Joseph, author of Advanced Civilizations of Prehistoric America)“Richard Wingate’s bookAtlantis in the Amazonis the definitive book on the mysterious Crespi treasure of Ecuador to which so much has been written.” (David Hatcher Childress, author of Lost Cities & Ancient Mysteries of South America, Technology)“Atlantis in the Amazonis an excellent study of a forgotten, buried past that may have been as fantastically advanced as it was ultimately tragic.” (Nick Redfern, Fortean Times, July 2011)“Richard Wingate weaves a tale of massive invasion forces, destructive lasers, UFOs made from Ecuadorian balsa wood, and where the evidence of those futuristic creations still exists today.” (Fate Magazine, October 2011)“Atlantis in the Amazon is in an excellent study of a forgotten buried past that may have been as fanatically advanced as it was ultimately tragic.” (UFO Magazine, November 2011)“This is a long-overdue book by an authority on the Carlo Crespi collection and what it means to our understanding of the first travelers to the Americas,longbefore Columbus. Not only is the case made for Atlantis in the Amazon, but Wingate also shows how this collection sounds a clear warning that humanity’s destructive ways are drawing us ever nearer to the same annihilation that wiped out this once thriving and advanced culture. Sadly, Wingate makes the case for the high probability that we are to go the way of Atlantis by continuing to use nuclear energy.” (Robert R.
