The rare exploration about historical references about the Amazons All Woman Warrior systems and the connections to Atlantis in a part of the stories, and myths as being of paramount importance to proving the existence of Atlantis as a civilization not just as a reference about lost lands or islands alone. New discoveries and old discoveries are compared on both sides of the Atlantic and Pacific that Amazons were not isolationists but were a very wide migration group as a system. This is one of the rarest written works on this aspect of the subject where Clarke really shows some important chronological and anthropological theories to show that Amazons is a very ancient and not so unique story world wide. Clarke shows that the early discoverers of the America's are not to be blamed directly as having the coined label of Amazons found in the Americas that much earlier existence and observation precluded the colonists own views that got repeated or mixed in to the same native or aboriginal stories of their own cultures who were themselves trying to explain how and why Amazons exist. This is an absolute 'wow' book on a subject rarely addressed by many scholars since it as general subject always fell in a myth category while being taken out of the anthropological contexts as being not the same Amazons or same exact system of cultural groups. Clarke reopens that inquiry while including the mystical references by the Amazons themselves about Atlantis existence when they invaded that lost island under the Atlantic Ocean.
