About 2,500 years ago, Plato wrote a story without imagining that people would continue to engage with it so intensely down to the present day. It is the account of Atlantis, a continent that sank beneath the sea. The story, as transmitted in the Timaeus and the Critias, was it entirely fictional, or did it conceal some real historical core?
Peter James, a well-known archaeologist and historian, in his thorough and well-documented study of Atlantis, addresses this question by offering his own interpretation.
It challenges and dismantles all the views of Atlantis theorists, leading us to new directions through its own arguments. The vivid narrative, rich material, and scientific treatment of the evidence provided make the book unique and rewarding for those who delve into it.
