Atlantis: Lessons from the Lost Continent

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 12,000 year-old legend. Did Atlantis truly exist? If so, what was their culture like? How did they 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 theories of what may have happened to this ancient civilization.
