Book excerpt: This is the first ever in depth study of the myth of Atlantis that takes into account the entirety of Plato's narrative. It firmly places it into its historical context in the second millennium BC. Plato's narrative is fully supported not only by Ancient Egyptian records but also by Hittite tablets which actually record its catastrophic end. Atlantis is a real location that archaeologists and geologists are in the process of uncovering without being aware of the ramifications of their discoveries.
