Description
Synopsis: Is the Atlantis story a myth, pseudo-science, or a true story with lessons for our future? Objective and scrupulous, J. Allan Danelek applies his signature no-nonsense approach to the legend of the Lost Continent. Investigating Plato's dialogues, geosciences, traditional theories, and historical maps, Danelek attempts to answer the questions surrounding this twelve-thousand-year-old legend. Did Atlantis truly exist? If so, what was its culture like? How did the Atlanteans destroy themselves? Why haven't we found any evidence of this civilization? And finally, what can we learn from the fate of Atlantis--an advanced civilization perhaps not unlike our own? This engaging exploration of Atlantis brings levity to a controversial subject and offers reasonable and fascinating theories of what may have happened to this ancient civilization., The lost civilization of Atlantis-whether mythical or historical-offers possible clues about our past and holds important lessons for our future. Was it a real place or did Plato invent the story? If it did exist, what could have led to the widespread destruction of an entire civilization? And are we heading down the same road to self-annihilation? Fact or Fiction? Bringing new life to Plato's dialogues on Atlantis, Danelek offers original theories about the lost world's culture and downfall. This engaging exploration covers all aspects of Atlantean lore, from historical maps and geological sciences to popular theories both traditional and contemporary. At the heart of every story lies an ultimate truth and timeless lesson. What can Atlantis teach us about the fate of humanity?
