This important volume reconstructs from the Akasha Record events
between the origin of the earth and the beginning of recorded history.
Steiner gives an overview of the Atlantean and Lemurian civilizations,
their origins, achievements, and fate. These remarkable "lost" root
races developed the first concepts of good and evil, manipulated forces
of nature, laid the groundwork of all legal and ethical systems, and
defined and nurtured the distinctive yet complementary powers of men
and women that brought humankind to its highest artistic, intellectual,
and spiritual attainments.
