Product Description
Synopsis
Reviewing previous theories about the site of Plato's city of Atlantis - some fantastic, some rational - this work offers a solution to the mystery that has baffled historians and archaeologists for centuries. That solution lies in the catastrophic destruction of a late-Bronze Age civilization close to the modern Turkish port of Izmir. The author takes readers on a journey between historical sources in Greece and Egypt, offering evidence of geological disaster in the Near East, focusing on the derivation of the word "atlas", and identifying Tantalus, founder of the Hittite kingdom of Lydia in Asia Minor, with the ruler of Atlantis.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fine review of Atlantic and Thera theories and of Plato, 5 Sep 2005
By A Customer
A worthwhile read. The subtitle 'The Atlantis Mystery Solved' is, I would guess, a publisher's addition. The book provides an excellent review of the Atlantic and Thera theories for Atlantis, including details of errors and oversights. The review of Plato, his context and thought (necessarily brief) is also very good. The conclusion; identifying Atlantis with Tantilis on the Turkish mainland, is interesting enough but not that convincing. Altogether, though, well argued and thought-provoking. Recommended.
