History
In her book The World Before (1976) Montgomery presented a pseudohistoric account of the earth which involved the lost continents of Mu and Atlantis. The book was written through automatic writing, Montgomery claimed the information was given to her by her spirit guides.
Montgomery held a number of unorthodox ideas. She had claimed humans had existed with dinosaurs on earth for millions of years. She had claimed the first humans were 12 feet tall giants and had produced offspring with large animals. She wrote that the “original sin was co-habiting with animals” but Later God introduced a law so kinds can only produce after their kind and that man could no longer procreate with "beasts, birds and fish". She claimed the offspring of the early humans and animals on earth were "half human forms" which had existed for millions of years such as Centaurs, satyrs and nymphs.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
