Synopsis
"Tremendous. This guy has done history like you would not believe."--Glenn Beck "Vivid popular history . . . With verve and unflagging conviction, Gavin Menzies advances a thesis that, if proved, would fundamentally rewrite the history of 15th-century maritime exploration. -- New York Times Book Review The astonishing true story of the lost city of Atlantis. In 1500 B.C. a supervolcano beneath the Greek island of Santorini exploded in a near-apocalyptic eruption. Buried beneath the rubble and waves was the world's most remarkable lost civilization. . . . New York Times bestselling historian Gavin Menzies presents newly uncovered evidence revealing, conclusively, that "the lost city of Atlantis" was not only real but also at the heart of a highly advanced global empire that reached the shores of America before being violently wiped from the earth. For three millennia, the legend of Atlantis has gripped the imaginations of explorers, philosophers, occultists, treasure hunters, historians, and archaeologists. Until now, it has remained shrouded in myth. Yet, like ancient Troy, is it possible that this fabled city actually existed? If so, what happened to it and what are its secrets? The fascinating reality of Atlantis's epic glory and destruction are uncovered, finally, in these pages in thrilling detail by the iconoclastic historian Gavin Menzies--father of some of "the most revolutionary ideas in the history of history" ( New York Times ). Meticulously analyzing exciting new geologic research, recently unearthed archaeological artifacts, and cutting-edge DNA evidence, Menzies has made a jaw-dropping discovery: Atlantis truly did exist, and was part of the incredibly advanced Minoan civilization that extended from its Mediterranean base to England, India, and even America. In The Lost Empire of Atlantis , he constructs a vivid portrait of this legendary civilization and shares his remarkable findings. As riveting as an Indiana Jones adventure, The Lost Empire of Atlantis is a revolutionary work of popular history that will forever change our understanding of the past., "Tremendous. This guy has done history like you would not believe." -Glenn Beck The secrets of history's most enduring mystery are finally revealed in The Lost Empire of Atlantis. Through impeccable research and intelligent speculation, Gavin Menzies, the New York Times bestselling author of 1421, uncovers the truth behind the mysterious "lost" city of Atlantis-making the startling claim that the "Atlanteans" discovered America 4,000 years ago and ruled a vast Mediterranean empire that was violently destroyed in 1,500 BC. Forget everything you've ever thought about the Atlantis legend-Gavin Menzies will make you a believer!, "Tremendous.

If my experience is any indication, scotb333 is a wonderful book vendor. The book I purchased was accurately described, reasonably priced, and shipped--with excellent interior padding--in a box! I very much appreciate the care taken to ensure that the hardbound volume reached me without being damaged in the mail. The e-mail notifying me that the volume was on its way was also very welcome. I definitely want to buy from scotb333 again!

  • Wild Theory Solidly Supported By Voluminous Evidence!

    Initially sounds like an outlandish claim, but he follows it up with lots of detailed evidence to support his theory. Walks the fine line between enough evidence to support radical claims, and too much evidence that puts you to sleep. These aren't wild conjectures pulled out of thin air. He also doesn't hang his whole theory on one item in isolation. He wanders all over the globe (literally!) using metallurgy, DNA forensics, astronomy, and a host of other disciplines to leave you with a conviction that he really has something here! Well worth the read!

  • There was travel before Columbus!

    Menzies is a boring writer; it's as if he is trying to use as many words as possible? He does make some wild stretches but his basic concepts are valid. Anyone interested with the theories that there was quite a lot of world wide contact before Columbus should read all of Menzies books, eh?

  • Empire of Atlantis

    As good as "1421" and "1434" The information is backed up by a number of experts in their field. He ties so many different pieces of evidence to eliminate chance coincidence.
