Like the writing of most professional archeologists, mine has been confined to so-called learned papers. Good, bad, or indifferent, these papers were in a jargon that only my colleagues and a few advanced students could understand. Hence, when I was asked to do this little book, I soon found it extremely difficult to say what I meant in simple fashion. The style is new to me, but I hope the reader will not find it forced or pedantic; at least I have done my very best to tell the story simply and clearly.Many friends have aided in the preparation of the book. The whimsical charm of Miss Susan Richerts illustrations add enormously to the spirit I wanted. She gave freely of her own time on the drawings and in planning the book with me. My colleagues at the University of Chicago, especially Professor Wilton M. Krogman (now of the University of Pennsylvania), and also Mrs. Linda Braidwood, Associate of the Oriental Institute, and Professors Fay-Cooper Cole and Sol Tax, of the Department of Anthropology, gave me counsel in matters bearing on their special fields, and the Department of Anthropology bore some of the expense of the illustrations. From Mrs. Irma Hunter and Mr. Arnold Maremont, who are not archeologists at all and have only an intelligent laymans notion of archeology, I had sound advice on how best to tell the story. I am deeply indebted to all these friends.While I was preparing the second edition, I had the great fortune to be able to rework the third chapter with Professor Sherwood L. Washburn, now of the Department of Anthropology of the University of California, and the fourth, fifth, and4 sixth chapters with Professor Hallum L. Movius, Jr., of the Peabody Museum, Harvard University. The book has gained greatly in accuracy thereby. In matters of dating, Professor Movius and the indications of Professor W. F. Libbys Carbon 14 chronology project have both encouraged me to choose the lowest dates now current for the events of the Pleistocene Ice Age.

In The Lost Lemuria by William Scott-Elliot, the reader is taken on a journey through the mysterious and mythical land of Lemuria, a lost continent believed to have once existed in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Scott-Elliot utilizes a blend of historical research, speculative fiction, and spiritual teachings to paint a vivid picture of this ancient civilization and its connection to modern-day societies. The book is written in a narrative style that captivates the readers imagination and leaves them questioning the mysteries of Earths distant past. As a pioneering work in the genre of alternative history, The Lost Lemuria provides a thought-provoking exploration of forgotten cultures and their impact on the present.

I highly recommend this book to readers seeking a deeper understanding of our worlds enigmatic past and the hidden truths waiting to be discovered.

Pocas veces he visto a una persona tan vocacional en su oficio de escultora, como a María Antonia Román Prado, mi esposa. Una profesional tan entregada a su tarea de trabajar y pulir la piedra hasta extraer de ella la forma que llevaba dentro, segun el concepto, el pensamiento y la reflexion interior de la autora, desde el mismo momento en que tenia el material petreo ante sus ojos.No necesito boceto previo para empezar a trabajar, decia Maria Antonia con frecuencia, lo llevo dentro o lo veo nada mas tener el marmol ante mi. Efectivamente, ella se dejaba guiar por una u otra veta de la piedra, mas clara o mas oscura y segun su consistencia, y, como diria Michelangelo Buonarroti, extraia de ella la escultura sepultada o secreta. Ella sabia lo que habia dentro. (...)Le escuche en mas de una ocasion que ella era la representante o continuadora del arte taino de Puerto Rico, su pais natal, si bien lo hacia de manera libre, abierta y siguiendo la estetica del tiempo que le habia tocado vivir. Sentia una gran admiracion y devocion por el arte taino al que dedico su tesis doctoral, que finalmente no pudo leer ante tribunal publico universitario, porque le sorprendio la muerte.Maria Antonia Roman Prado era una artista visual perfeccionista, exigente consigo misma y dotaba de una espiritualidad a su obra que se observa en el recorrido pausado de la misma. Su escultura no es abrupta en su ejecucion, se revela suave y sin aristas, por lo que invita a un tacto silencioso.Una de sus mayores satisfacciones estuvo cuando pudo mostrar buena parte de sus esculturas juntas en el Centro Washington Irving de Madrid, dependiente de la Embajada de los Estados Unidos de America en 1992.El arte puertorriqueño y la cultura taina es un libro fruto del estudio e indagacion para la tesis doctoral, que Maria Antonia no pudo llegar a leer, porque su fallecimiento en 2017 lo impidio. Celebremos hoy sus reflexiones sobre el arte puertorriqueño y la cultura taina, que ella tanto amo.
