Bronze Age Atlantis the International Nautical Empire of the Sea Peoples

Although the title would seem to imply romantic fantasy, the book is a serious work about the confederation of two major peoples and their search for the metals that gave them almost complete control of the Bronze Age for 1000 years. It rethinks the sensationalized and romanticized version of Plato's Atlantis, with proof after proof of the identities and commercial enterprises of those ancient master mariners. It clearly shows that the story as told by Egyptian priests to Solon, who brought it back to Greece, was derived from original records contained in ancient Egyptian temple inscriptions and papyrus texts. The book further identifies the most reasonable location of the capital city of Atlantis, the correct time and extent of its oceanic empire, and the reason for its collapse in 1200 BCE. It is fully illustrated with laminated cover, Contents, Glossary, Endnotes, Bibliography, and Index.
