Nearly all of us are familiar with the story of Atlantis, and yet how much do we truly know? In this work, the authors explore the Egyptian roots of Plato's famous narrative, and examine the strange similarities between Atlantis and worldwide creation mythologies. A fresh and unique look at an ancient enigma, the book is essential for anyone interested in the mystery of Atlantis, layman and scholar alike. With an appendix on Egyptian mythology and its connection to Plato's Atlantis by renowned musicologist Ernest G. McClain.

Traces the history of Egyptian civilization, which began in the Eastern Desert over six thousand years ago.

This book created somewhat of a sensation in the literary and scientific world. Mr. Donnelly argues that Plato's story was true; that all the ancient civilizations of Europe and America radiated from this ancient kingdom, and that this is the reason we find pyramids, obelisks, and buildings almost Identically alike in Egypt, Mexico and Peru. Donnelly's statements and ample evidence deliver ample evidence for the existence of the continent of Atlants. This book is a must have for all folklorists and people, who are interested in the possible history of a famous nation.

Long known as the classic work on the study of Atlantis, the author puts forth the idea that this was the true place where civilization began.This one book has done more than any other in promoting the idea for the lost continent of Atlantis.

The romantic legend of Atlantis has captured imaginations since Plato first told of a glorious island in the Atlantic that sank beneath the waves. Speculation has abounded ever since, and scientists who formerly dismissed the possibility that Atlantis ever existed were obliged to reconsider--partly because of the author of this book. Lewis Spence (1874-1955) wrote five books about Atlantis, and this one is considered his best. Spence sifted through a tremendous body of research in fields from mythology and comparative religion to geography, geology, and archeology. The result is the most authoritative study ever published on the history, geography, animal life, government, and religion of this fabled island.

This book is an excellent classic of Atlantis. We may say this book, more than any other, established the existence of this lost continent for the modern world. Being an essential source of information, it attracted hundreds of thousands of readers and stimulated vast debate on the reality of the lost continent. The book attracts countless scientists who do serious work in their fields and numerous science-fiction writers. Thanks to this work, the idea of a submerged Atlantic Ocean continent remains vigorous today, long after it first appeared.
