What reading level is The Lost Continent book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By our wits we canlift blocks weighing six hundred men, and set them as the capstonesof our pyramids. But to uprear the stones of that great circlewould be beyond all our art, and much more would it be impossibleto-day, to transport them from their distant quarries across therugged mountains.
There were nine-and-forty of the stones, alternating withspaces, and set in an accurate circle, and across the tops of themother stones were set, equally huge. The stones were undressed andrugged; but the ...huge massiveness of them impressed the eye morethan all the temples and daintily tooled pyramids of our wondrouscity. And in the centre of the circle was that still greater stonewhich formed the altar, and round which was carved, in the rudechiselling of the ancients, the snake and the outstretched hand.
The crowd which bore me on came to a standstill before thecircle of stones. To trespass beyond this is death for the commonpeople; and for myself, although I had the right of entrance, Ichose to stay where I was for the present, unnoticed amongst themob, and wait upon events.
