Doctor Strange (1978) DVD and Blu-ray Cover

You have to feel for the folks over at Shout Factory. They got the rights to re-release the 1978 Doctor Strange TV movie to tie in with the release of the new feature film starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

The theory also dovetails with Plato's description of the end of Atlantis, and the many flood myths in ancient literature.

A few years ago, I approached a publisher of space books with the idea of producing a series of volumes that would reprint the most important texts of the space age.
