Among the records lost forever to civilization in the destruction of the library at Alexandria, there may have been those that discussed the existence and exact location of Atlantis. Without that incontrovertible evidence, scholars have been left to speculate and interpret bits and pieces gleaned from ancient texts to try to build a case for the existence of Atlantis-an ancient civilization that may have been, even technologically, far more advanced than ours. David Hershiser cites numerous sources-ancient and new-to make the case that Ezekiel's account of Tyrus was really about Atlantis. A persuasive comparison of various editions of biblical verses, Plato's writings, and the works of theosophist Helena Blavatsky and psychics Edgar Cayce and Ruth Montgomery offers the reader a new set of tools for rethinking Atlantis.

11,600 years ago, a mystical continent existed beyond the Pillars of Hercules, Atlantis. There has been much conjecture as to the nature of this mysterious place. The Greek philosopher Plato described it as a magical continent with an advanced civilization that was destroyed by a huge volcanic upheaval and sank into the ocean. "Atlantis - The Adventure Begins" tells the story of Atlantis and its mystery is slowly revealed. Jason and Adam, two young men in search of excitement and knowledge, undertake a voyage that is interrupted when nature forces them to this unknown land. There they encounter a beautiful young woman, Leela, and her family and find themselves entwined in nefarious plots that threaten their lives and the very civilization of Atlantis.

This carefully crafted ebook: "THE ATLANTIS COLLECTION - 6 Books About The Mythical Lost World: Plato's Original Myth + The Lost Continent + The Story of Atlantis + The Antedeluvian World + New Atlantis" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents: The Original Myth of Atlantis (Plato) Timaeus Critias New Atlantis (Francis Bacon) Atlantis: The Antedeluvian World (Ignatius Donnelly) The Lost Continent (C. J. Cutcliffe Hyne) The Story of Atlantis (William Scott-Elliot) Atlantis ("island of Atlas") is a mystical island mentioned within an allegory on the hubris of nations in Plato's works Timaeus and Critias, where it represents the antagonist naval power that besieges "Ancient Athens". Plato's indications of the time of the events—more than 9,000 years before his day, and the alleged location of Atlantis—"beyond the Pillars of Hercules", has led to much scientific speculation. As a consequence, Atlantis has become a byword for any and all supposed advanced prehistoric lost civilizations. At the end of the story, Atlantis eventually falls out of favor with the gods and famously submerges into the Atlantic Ocean. Despite its secondary importance in Plato's work, the Atlantis story has had a considerable impact on literature. The allegorical aspect of Atlantis was taken up in utopian works of several Renaissance writers, such as Francis Bacon's New Atlantis. On the other hand, 19th-century scholars interpreted Plato's account as historical tradition, most notably in Ignatius L. Donnelly's Atlantis: The Antediluvian World. Many of his theories are the source of many modern-day concepts about Atlantis, including these: the civilization and technology beyond its time, the origins of all present races and civilizations, and a civil war between good and evil. Much of Donnelly's scholarship, especially with regard to Atlantis as an explanation for similarities between ancient civilizations of the Old and New Worlds.

Thousands of books have already been written on Atlantis since its reality was first disclosed by the great philosopher Plato, some two and a half millennia ago. Hence, one may well wonder whether a new book on the subject is really needed. Can anything new actually be said about Atlantis? The answer is a most categorical yes. After all, the riddle of Atlantis has never been satisfactorily solved so far.The present book is an attempt by a reputed scientist, to scientifically compare and refute ? perhaps for the first time ever ? the various existing theories on Atlantis? location and reality. The author also expounds his own theory which definitively locates Atlantis in Indonesia. In his research, Prof. Santos marries the most recent results and techniques of Modern Science to the sacred and folk lore of all the peoples of the world, knitting humanity together in a solution to the riddle of Atlantis that neatly ties together the vast scientific and traditional evidence which was always there but never before seen by other researchers.The reader, whether a scientist with an open mind or a lay person, is led to conclude that Plato could well have been telling the truth, after all, since the information provided by the great philosopher is so uncannily confirmed by the recent scientific finds of all sorts.

The legend of Atlantis -- you've heard about it, read about it, watched it on large and small screens. Now go straight to the source! Atlantis was first introduced by the Greek philosopher Plato in two "dialogues" he wrote in the fourth century B.C. His tale of a great empire that sank beneath the waves has generated countless books, dramatic adaptations, archeological expeditions, and more. It has also sparked thousands of years of debate and speculation. Did Plato mean his tale as ancient history, or just as a parable to help illustrate his philosophy? Why did he break it off in the middle, never completing our sole primary account of this "lost" civilization? And why did Aristotle, Plato's student, once say of Atlantis, "He who invented it also destroyed it."? In "The Atlantis Dialogue," you'll find everything Plato wrote about Atlantis, in the context he intended. Now you can read it and judge for yourself! //////////////////////////////////////// "The perfect reference for that lost civilization . . . This book has been the basis of much of my writings on Atlantis. Plato is probably the only true source of Atlantean history we have available today, and I highly recommend this text. It is accurate, concise, and understandable. Anyone who is a fan or student of Atlantis or history should, no, must have this book in their library." -- Sharon D. Anderson, author, "Atlantis: The Final Days" "An easy read . . . Provides a good starting point for anyone wanting to learn more about the Atlantis myth." -- Judy Justice, Midwest Book Review, Mar. 2002 (Reviewer’s Choice) //////////////////////////////////////// SAMPLE CRITIAS: Consider then, Socrates, if this narrative is suited to the purpose, or whether we should seek for some other instead. SOCRATES: And what other, Critias, can we find that will be better than this, which is natural and suitable to the festival of the goddess, and has the very great advantage of being a fact and not a fiction? How or where shall we find another if we abandon this? We cannot, and therefore you must tell the tale, and good luck to you; and I in return for my yesterday's discourse will now rest and be a listener. CRITIAS: Let me begin by observing first of all, that nine thousand was the sum of years which had elapsed since the war which was said to have taken place between those who dwelt outside the pillars of Heracles and all who dwelt within them; this war I am going to describe. Of the combatants on the one side, the city of Athens was reported to have been the leader and to have fought out the war; the combatants on the other side were commanded by the kings of Atlantis, which, as I was saying, was an island greater in extent than Libya and Asia, and when afterwards sunk by an earthquake, became an impassable barrier of mud to voyagers sailing from hence to any part of the ocean. The progress of the history will unfold the various nations of barbarians and families of Hellenes which then existed, as they successively appear on the scene; but I must describe first of all Athenians of that day, and their enemies who fought with them, and then the respective powers and governments of the two kingdoms.

The legend of Atlantis, an island-continent lying in the Atlantic Ocean over against the Pillars of Hercules, which, after being long the seat of a powerful empire, was engulfed in the sea, has been made the basis of many extravagant speculations; and anew awakens keenest interest with the revolving centuries. The 12th of October 1892 has been proclaimed a World’s holiday, to celebrate its accomplished cycle of four centuries since Columbus set foot on the shores of the West. The voyage has been characterised as the most memorable in the annals of our race; and the century thus completed is richer than all before it in the transformations that the birth of time has disclosed since the wedding of the New World to the Old. The story of the Lost Atlantis is recorded in the Timæus and, with many fanciful amplifications, in the Critias of Plato. According to the dialogues, as reproduced there, Critias repeats to Socrates a story told him by his grandfather, then an old man of ninety, when he himself was not more than ten years of age. According to this narrative, Solon visited the city of Sais, at the head of the Egyptian delta, and there learned from the priests of the ancient empire of Atlantis, and of its overthrow by a convulsion of nature. “No one,” says Professor Jowett, in his critical edition of The Dialogues of Plato, “knew better than Plato how to invent ‘a noble lie’ ”; and he, unhesitatingly, pronounces the whole narrative a fabrication. “The world, like a child, has readily, and for the most part, unhesitatingly accepted the tale of the Island of Atlantis.” To the critical editor, this reception furnishes only an illustration of popular credulity, showing how the chance word of a poet or philosopher may give rise to endless historical or religious speculation. In the Critias, the legendary tale is unquestionably expanded into details of no possible historical significance or genuine antiquity. But it is not without reason, that men like Humboldt have recognised in the original legend the possible vestige of a widely-spread tradition of earliest times. In this respect, at any rate, I purpose here to review it. It is to be noted that even in the time of Socrates, and indeed of the elder Critias, this Atlantis was referred to as the vague and inconsistent tradition of a remote past; though not more inconsistent than much else which the cultured Greeks were accustomed to receive. Mr. Hyde Clarke, in an “Examination of the Legend,” printed in the Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, arrives at the conclusion that Atlantis was the name of the king rather than of the dominion. But king and kingdom have ever been liable to be referred to under a common designation. According to the account in theTimæus, Atlantis was a continent lying over against the Pillars of Hercules, greater in extent than Libya and Asia combined; the highway to other islands and to a great ocean, of which the Mediterranean Sea was a mere harbour. But in the vagueness of all geographical knowledge in the days of Socrates and of Plato, this Atlantic domain is confused with some Iberian or western African power, which is stated to have been arrayed against Egypt, Hellas, and all the countries bordering on the Mediterranean Sea. The knowledge even of the western Mediterranean was then very imperfect; and, to the ancient Greek, the West was a region of vague mystery which sufficed for the localisation of all his fondest imaginings. There, on the far horizon, Homer pictured the Elysian plain, where, under a serene sky, the favourites of Zeus enjoyed eternal felicity; Hesiod assigned the abode of departed heroes to the Happy Isles beyond the western waters that engirdled Europe; and Seneca foretold that that mysterious ocean wouldyet disclose an unknown world which it then kept concealed. To the ancients, Elysium ever lay beyond the setting sun; and the Hesperia of the Greeks, as their geographical knowledge increased, continued to recede before them into the unexplored west.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The Timaeus is a dialogue written by Plato around the year 355 BCE. It is about the universe and the physical world, and it discusses the mechanics of the universe and the nature of the physical world. In it, he introduces the world to the subject of Atlantis. #2 The Timaeus tells us that Solon learned about the history of Athens while he was in Egypt, and that the history and genealogies of Athens are little better than nursery tales. The elderly priest explained how the citizens of Athens were the most valiant in war before the great flood. #3 The Timaeus was written as a fictional narrative, a sort of XFiles of its day. It contained a wealth of astronomical and scientific information, but was written as a fictional narrative. #4 The priest of Sais explained to Solon that the aggressor that opposed the mighty nation of Athens came from an island in front of the Pillars of Hercules. This was the name given in antiquity to the pillarlike rocks that stood on either side of the Strait of Gibraltar and marked the entrance to the Atlantic Ocean.
