The flood from heaven: deciphering the Atlantis legend

ZANGGER, Eberhard

Reference

The author, a German geo-archaeologist, presents the evidence for his claim to have deciphered the legend of Atlantis. The legend of Atlantis originated about 2,500 years ago with Plato's account, but until now no one has able to identify its location and nature, although the theories about it abound and our fascination with it continues unabated.
