THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

For thousands of years, the legend of Atlantis has gripped our imaginations. Until now, it has remained shrouded in myth. Is it possible that the Lost City actually existed?

On a trail of evidence that leads him around the world, Menzies uncovers the extraordinary truth. By examining new geological research, cargo salvaged from ancient wrecks and cutting-edge DNA data, he makes a staggering discovery: not only did Atlantis exist, but it was at the heart of an advanced Minoan civilization, the true extent of which has scarcely been imagined.

Here, Menzies shared his remarkable findings, including:
The present-day location of Atlantis
The cataclysm that destroyed it in 1,500 BC
The first ever decoding of the language of Atlantis

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Updated with important new findings!
In 1500 B.C. a supervolcano beneath the Greek island of Santorini exploded in a near-apocalyptic eruption. Buried beneath the rubble and waves was the world's most remarkable lost civilization. . . .
For three millennia, the legend of Atlantis has gripped the imaginations of explorers, philosophers, occultists, treasure hunters, historians, and archaeologists. Renowned New York Times bestselling historian Gavin Menzies presents newly uncovered evidence revealing, conclusively, that "the lost city of Atlantis" was none other than the real-life Minoan civilization, a highly advanced global empire that reached the shores of America before being violently wiped from the earth.
Meticulously analyzing exciting new geologic research, recently unearthed archaeological artifacts, and cutting-edge DNA evidence, Menzies constructs a vivid portrait of this legendary civilization. As riveting as an Indiana Jones adventure, The Lost Empire of Atlantis is a revolutionary work of popular history that will forever change our understanding of the past.
