Five Books About Discovering Lost Civilizations

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

From:

Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan was stumbling on a new lost civilization every other novel. (He spent the other novels getting hit in the head in the weak spot and having amnesia dramatics.)

From:

There's room there for a retcon in which some of Tarzan's more absurd adventures turn out to be delusional episodes brought on by repeated head trauma. :)
