Synopsis

THE LOST CONTINENT OF ATLANTIS Often dismissed as myth, Atlantis was a real place. It was an island rather than a continent. Contrary to legend it existed within the scope of written history. It was destroyed in a release of subterranean energy that visited catastrophe on much of the civilized world of the Middle Bronze Age. Cutting edge science and ancient writing combine to give us a picture of profound change. Empires rose and fell in the wake of the catastrophe. Borders shifted and cultures migrated, taking with them their knowledge, customs and gods. The outcome left a legacy that persists to this day. The way we read and write, the way we calculate, the way we govern ourselves, all have roots in the destruction of Atlantis.
