70 reviewsWas there once a Civilization more advanced than we can possibly imagine, a civilization that was wise and just, technologically sophisticated and more spiritually aware than our own? Did this civilization flower at the dawn of time only to be lost in a terrrible cataclysm thousands of years before the rise of Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and China? And could intrepid explorers be close to uncovering its awe-inspiring remnants on the ocean floor?
How do you find something that exists in the borderlands between history and fiction, fact and folklore? The quest for Atlantis involves a complex combination of geograpy, history, mysticism, anthropology, mythology, philosophy, archeology and biography, and you'll learn that the search itself is as rewarding and revealing as any discovery.
In this fascinating book, Joel Levy traces the evolution of Atlantology, from Plato’s original classical account, through the strange and incredible ideas of the 19th century to the latest scientific explorations and the most up-to-date theories of the new millennium.
Visiting almost every region of the planet, he explores lost lands that have been associated with Atlantis and considers the importance of Lemuria, Mu and other lost and legendary places from Shambhala and Shangri-La to El Dorado and Hy-Brasil.
Exhaustively researched and beautifully illustrated, this is the essential reference guide to one of the most intriguing questions of our time.
Joel Levy is a writer and researcher with a special interest in ancient civilizations and mysteries. He is the author of Secret History: Hidden Forces that Shaped the Past and Fabulous Creatures.
