This book represents twenty years of thought and research on
perhaps the greatest Islamic monument in Spain- the Mosque of
Cordoba. The unfolding of the mystery of its origin goes back to
Atlantis when an era of world civilization made possible the birth
of a community called Tartessos in Andalusia. This sophisticated
society welcomed the trading Phoenicians in the 12th century BC.
Together they designed and built essentially the structure that
Islam adapted to their use as a mosque in the 8th century AD. But
new evidence gathered by the architect, Marvin Mills, fails to
support this contention as we examine the architecture and history
of the building and realize that another provenance is indicated.
Even the orientation of he mosque is suspect as it fails to orient
to Mecca. And Carbon-14 dating indicates a much older attribution.
Revelations such as these will make it impossible to continue as
usual in the progress of the field of Spanish architecture,
Phoenicians in the West, the reality of Atlantis without dealing
with this new approach. Insights into the famous Alhambra in
Granada and Madina Azahara, the palace-city outside of Cordoba, add
to the new perspective by challenging their origins as well.
