    ABOUT THE FILM 
    2001: A Space Odyssey is a groundbreaking science fiction film directed by Stanley Kubrick and based on a story by Arthur C. Clarke. The film explores humanity's evolution, from the dawn of man to the exploration of space.

    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “At the premiere screening, 241 people walked out, including Rock Hudson, who exclaimed, ‘Will someone tell me what the hell this is about?’ Arthur C. Clarke later explained that the film was meant to raise more questions than it answered.” 
      
    “Katharina Kubrick revealed that Stanley Kubrick himself provided the breathing sound effects for the spacesuits.” 
      
    “Stanley Kubrick calculated that it would take 13 years for one person to hand-paint all the mattes needed for space scenes, so he hired 12 people to complete the task in one year.” 
      
    “Stanley Kubrick sought insurance to protect against the discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence before the movie's release, but Lloyds of London refused the policy.”

    How I Found the Lost Atlantis!...

    The article on which this audio book is based was published in the 'New York American' on October 20th, 1912.  
    The author, Dr. Paul Schliemann, was the grandson of Heinrich Schliemann (1822 - 1890), a founder of modern archaeology. In this famous archaeological hoax he makes outrageous and sensational claims about the lost continent Atlantis, and his grandfather’s research.  
    The text was written in an age when many of the Victorian adventure writers, like H. Rider Haggard in Britain, Emilio Salgari in Italy and Karl May in Germany topped reading lists. In 1912, the jungle calls of Tarzan echoed through American pulp magazines for the very first time.  
    Paul Schliemann capitalizes on the contemporary craze for his grandfather’s archaeological discoveries, for lost worlds and legendary characters like the queen of Sheba and Prester John. Since 1907, Howard Carter had been excavating in Egypt, and in 1922 Carter made his historical discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. 
    Paul Schliemann’s article is highly entertaining, and features passages reminiscent of Indiana Jones. Michael Henrik Wynn, the editor of the educational net radio stream Historyradio.org, gives a spirited performance of what has become a classic and much loved hoax in archaeological circles.
