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.

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.

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.

Since Plato first broke the news of a lost continent in the Atlantic Ocean, Atlantis has become an important element of occult thought. In Atlantis: The Antediluvian World, the American Congressman, Ignatius Donnelly, attempts (with some success) to show rationally that such a continent must have existed.

With over ten years of research and study, a completely newinterpretation of Plato's writings on Atlantis has finally been published. Using over a dozen different scholarly translations and interpretations of Plato's Timaeus and Critias - the texts that described the lost civilization of Atlantis, a completely new singular interpretation of Plato's Atlantis story has been made. Included with this new interpretation, are the latest discoveries that have been made about the pre-flood (Antediluvian) world. Along with this new interpretation, the author will explain how ancient artifacts kept in the British Museum, as well as the Louvre, have been discovered to actually be representations (maps) of the place Plato called "ATLANTIS". From 2006 to the present, nearly every major University has been contacted about this discovery. Coincidentally, in 2011 Rutgers University along with sixteen other "government agencies", participated in an expedition to survey the Atlantic Ocean. This survey used underwater Navy drones which passed over the exact area identified by the author in his first book Antediluvian World: The End of the Myth as being the remains of the island of Atlantis, and its capital city. Was it just a survey of "Atlantic currents" as a New York Times article reported, or was it something more? If they found anything, they aren't saying! However, the author of this work has an incredible theory as to what the drones actually passed over! If the author'stheory and findings are correct, IT IS THE END OF THE WORLD ASWE'VE KNOWN IT!
