Harvey Spencer Lewis

November 25, 1883 – August 2, 1939

Spence delved into ancient myths and folklore, from the sacred texts of the Quiché Maya to the mysteries of Celtic Britain. His work on Atlantis sought to elevate the subject beyond occultism, exploring connections between ancient civilizations across continents. Though his conclusions were largely rejected by the academic community, Spence's broad erudition and engaging narrative earned him a dedicated following. His writings, encompassing poetry and studies of Celtic lore, continue to resonate with readers drawn to unconventional histories and forgotten cultures.
