Summary

Published almost 20 years ago, Atlantis in America is one of the best accounts and evidence for a great maritime civilization that appears to have been partially based in Costa Rica. The book presents a new theory that the great stone spheres of Costa Rica and sighting stones throughout the Pacific were used to teach sea routes and constellation paths to navigators of the ancient world. ATLANTIS IN AMERICA was the first book to state that the nearly-perfect spheres of Costa Rica and the great astronomical structures at Tikahuanaco (Alto Peru), Teotihuacan (Pyramids of the Sun and Moon in the Valley of Mexico), and Chichen Itza ( Kukulcan Temple, Observatory in the Yucatan), were all just pieces of a puzzle that ran through all of the tropical and sub-tropical Americas. Since these sites (and many more) shared many similarities, and since they all left navigational clues, Erikson and Zapp predicted that the Americas would one day be known as Atlantis and that the heart of this ancient navigational culture would be found by underwater archaeology at depths of several hundred feet in the waters off tropical America.

Zapp is a retired professor of architecture from the University of Costa Rica.

0:00.0	Book your ticket to happiness with Sun Express Airlines. So, Peace good in a lot of freedom. So it's been a while since we had a special edition the Archives program and I was looking through the vaults and I had found
1:05.4	recently I was reviewing a interview I did with Dr Ivar Zapp back in 2017 and I had run across his books many many years earlier
1:18.0	actually his articles and discovered very few people had interviewed him.
1:23.0	And YouTube wasn't as big as it is now.
1:27.0	There were very, very few,
1:29.0	banish because he's in Costa Rica,
1:32.0	or English interviews with him and his book was
1:36.6	fabulous I had purchased years before the title is Atlantis in America navigators of the ancient world.
1:45.0	And he was really an authority on these stone spheres that were clustered throughout Costa Rica.
1:53.2	Most of the time where they are on the beach,
1:55.9	some of them were inland, and he did very extensive testing
2:02.4	on these fears and came up with, along with his co-author George
2:07.2	Ericsson, came up with a theory that they had been cut with precision and that they had been used in some form of
2:18.4	navigational system thousands and thousands of years ago.
2:23.0	In fact, nowhere else in the world
2:25.6	are there these granite balls quite like the ones
2:29.2	that we find in Costa Rica.
2:31.8	He went on to spend a good deal of time, in fact many years researching
2:38.2	a hypothesis that he believed was related to Atlantis and he believed that the great maritime
2:46.4	culture of Atlantis was partially
2:50.2	uh... connected to not only Costa Rica, but much of Mexico.
2:55.0	And it's funny because we've had other people on the program talking about Mexico as a former location for Atlantis.
