    Atlantis cannot be studied like other histories because its land is now submerged underwater and unavailable for archaeological examination. If Italy had sunk into the Mediterranean after the fall of Rome, there would still be documentary evidence about the Roman Empire, unlike Atlantis which left no written records. Researchers of Atlantis are largely forced to glean what they can of its civilization from traditions passed down by surrounding nations after its disappearance.

    A HISTORY OF ATLANTIS must differ from all other histories, for the fundamental reason that it

    seeks to record the chronicles of a country the soil of which is no longer available for examination
    to the archæologist. If, through some cataclysm of nature, the Italian peninsula had been
    submerged in the green waters of the Mediterranean at a period subsequent to the all of Rome,
    we would still have been in possession of much documentary evidence concerning the growth and
    ascent of the Rome Empire. At the same time, the soil upon which that empire flourished, the
    ponderable remains of its civilization and its regards their colonial manifestations. We should, in a
    great measure, have been forced to glen our ideas of Latin pre-eminence from those traditions of it
    which remained at the era of its disappearance among the unlettered nations surrounding it.
