Putting aside the romantic and often overly magnified tale of Atlantis, this book invites the open-minded history seeker to a firm theory which provides an alternative to the mystic, visionary, and supernatural. Capturing the imagination of anyone who stumbles upon the word, Atlantis has remained a timeless subject since Ignatius Donnelly revived interest in the subject almost 150 years ago. Almost exclusively centered on the writings of the Greek philosopher Plato, the original story is investigated diligently, tracing its beginnings to the ancient Greek statesman and lawmaker Solon, who had received his account from the Egyptian priests in the city of Sais roughly 2600 years ago. For many years misconceptions have been made about this lost empire, as this book aims to take a firm look at each detail the story has to tell us. From the dates, to the specific measurements, a novel re-alignment of this incredible tale unfolds, allowing for modern historians and archaeologists of the world to see the true potential for a discovery, and find a place for Atlantis in our collective history. Purposefully hidden in isolation far from the reaches of other civilizations, the Atlanteans could not endure the overwhelming cataclysmic powers of nature, completely perishing and never to be seen again. Who were these people? Where did they originate? What enabled their people to benefit from great wealth? How were they destroyed? Where exactly was Atlantis? These are all questions that will be meticulously resolved on a journey of uncovering the truth.
