The works of Plato are the only source of detailed information that exists for the lost world of Atlantis. It was more than 2,000 years ago that Plato laid down a number of cryptic clues concerning the location of Atlantis, and since then countless experts have tried to crack this code. Some claim Atlantis lies under the volcanic rocks of Santorini. Others place it in the Bermuda Triangle or off the coast of Africa.
But what if Atlantis is closer than we think? What if we can walk the streets above its ancient capital today? After a forensic, twenty-year examination of Platos writings Peter Daughtrey says we can do just that. Previous attempts have barely matched six of Platos clues, whereas he matches an unprecedented sixty. Daughtrey also outlines the full reach of the Atlantis Empire - and even pinpoints the exact location of its once glittering capital city. It sits beside one of the worlds most destructive seismic fault lines.
Daughtrey's quest for the truth about Atlantis includes the discovery of a huge carved stone egg, the universal symbol of creation. It had been buried for thousands of years on a site overlooking the ancient capital. Other sensational evidence includes a lost alphabet, the mysterious origins of pyramids and a revealing analysis that identifies todays descendants of this most ancient civilisation.
"So, is there anything different about what 'Atlantis and the Silver City' claims? The answer is a surprising yes, and the book deserves a close look. I have to commend the author for his careful reasoning and also his close examination of what Plato really stated. He uses logic and actual archaeological finds to make his conclusions - and what he concludes does fit Plato - all of Plato. There is a strong possibility that the things the book claims are factual and the author may have hit upon something important in his conclusions. It is an intriguing book, well worth a read for anyone interested in Atlantis."
