Description

Of the estimated 2,500 books and magazine articles published about the lost civilisation, The Atlantic Encyclopedia stands alone. Unlike other books on the subject, it offers fewer theories and more facts, with detailed data on geology, astronomy and oceanography. It lists numerous stories that have never been presented together in a single volume, the folk traditions of peoples around the world who have preserved memories of a Great Flood that destroyed an ancestral island of memorial splendor. The Atlantis Encyclopedia brings together all the known details of this immense, perennially fascinating subject. It is a handbook of Atlantean information for general readers and specialists alike. The Atlantis Encyclopedia offers equally exhaustive information about a Pacific counterpart, the lost kingdom of Mu, also known as Lemuria. Although it does not set out to prove the sunken continent actually existed, The Atlantis Encyclopedia contains much evidence on its behalf. For true believers, this book is a gold mine of information to help them better understand the lost civilisation.
The Atlantis Encyclopedia attempts to answer the most pertinent questions posed by this perpetual mystery: What was Atlantis? Where was it located? How long ago did it flourish? How was it destroyed? What became of its survivors? Have any remains of Atlantis ever been found? Will Atlantis ever be found?
