When a researcher and poet of Edmund Kiss's calibre brings the past to life, all the springs of the German soul begin to roar, tens of thousands of years are spanned and a bridge is built to everything that was of our blood and our kind in distant prehistoric times. Drawing on the detailed account of the Greek sage Plato and the latest findings of prehistoric research, Kiss creates an incredibly compact picture of life and activity in Atlantis, which disappeared around 14,000 years ago. Ethnicity and faith, the core issues of every human community, form the basis of this novel, set around 20,000 years ago, on which the dramatic struggle of the Aesir son of Nordland Baldur Wieborg and his followers against the alien influences of power-hungry priests takes place. The heroism of loyalty to the people, sacrificing life and happiness, shines victoriously over this book. And we hear the old song that will never fall silent, that resounds again and again when a great, good man falls victim to the murderous steel: the legend of Baldur, whom Loki slew.
Edmund Kiss (1886 - 1960) was a German archaeologist and author. Best known for his books about the ancient mesoamerican settlement of Tihuanaco, Kiss also wrote a series of popular historical novels about Atlantis. He equated the mythical northern land Thule to the origins of humanity, proposing that "The inhabitants of Northern Atlantis were led by their leader Baldur Wieborg, a native of the mythical Thule who migrated all across the world."
