  Did Atlantis really exist? If so, where? The authors present a thesis that there was an ancient continent, that it housed a very sophisticated civilization, that its existence was known about and for various reasons suppressed, that myths from all over the world preserve a remarkably consistent description of what happened to it, and that the true story of lost Atlantis explains many key conundrums about life on this planet. Inspired by catastrophe theory (in particular the pattern and effects of earth-crust displacement), as well as ancient maps showing remarkably accurate delineation of land-masses, the corroborative content of myth from tribal American Indians to Plato - and further encouraged by the discovery that the Sphinx is much older than previously thought - the authors give every impression of having solved the mystery of Atlantis. Through a series of explanations of climatic changes, extinctions, migrations, standing stones and other ancient monuments, the authors pin-point where they believe Atlantis was.

  Did Atlantis really exsist? If so,where was it,and what happened to it? Inspired by the theory that at various stages in prehistory the earths crust shifted dramatically,causing violent earthquakes,tidal waves,devastating climatic changes,the authors examine the clues as to the location of Atlantis entrusted to Plato by Egyptian priests,the extraordinary similarities between myths from around the world,and ancient and amazingly accurate maps of South America and ice free Antarctica that date long before the first European explorers ever reached those shores.They conclude that a civilisation of highly intelligent seafarers did exists some twelve thousand years ago,but was destroy ed,by a geological disaster,leaving only a few survivors to safeguard its relicsand legends for posterity.
