The Search for the Source of a Lost Civilisation.
Over 2,000 years ago, a Greek poet and philosopher named Plato wrote of a fabulous island empire set in the Far West. He called it Atlantis. Ever since, philosophers, historians and explorers have debated its reality and searched in vain for its whereabouts.
The academics' view is that Atlantis was located in the Mediterranean Sea. Yet close examination of the trail of clues left by Plato suggests it stood in front of an ocean continent accessible to voyagers from his own world.
So who were these ancient explorers, and what part might they have played in the construction of the Atlantis legend? What might have caused the earthquakes and floods which brought destruction to the western hemisphere? Was all or just part of Atlantis's island empire lost beneath the sea? More importantly, where is it located today?
In this important book, Andrew Collins pieces together Plato's story and goes in search of the real Atlantis. His dramatic conclusions are set to chock the scholarly world. Not only does he demonstrate the former existence of Plato's Atlantic island, but he also reveals its true location...which still exists today.
