“MENZIES [IS] PROPOUNDING ONE OF THE MOST REVOLUTIONARY IDEAS IN THE HISTORY OF HISTORY.” —New York Times Magazine

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.

Fascinating

Definitely interesting for anyone who has already read 1421 and/or 1434. For those who have not ready any of these, dive in.

Incredible Book, Worth a second read!

This book is incredible. In the midst of evaluating the future of our aging civilization, and then come across this book. Here our fears of being “forgotten” truly come to fruition. Minoans we’re capable of things that we didn’t rediscover in some cases for multiple thousands of years.

Well researched. Well thought out, and also includes tons of data from empirical studies of various disciplines. Amazing.

I have been fascinated by Plato's Atlantis for 50 years

Fascinating explanation of both Plato's writings on Atlantis and of recent discoveries in archaeology and genetics to support the hypothesis that the Minowans are the civilization referred to be Plato and that their commerce and seagoing knowledge extended to Egypt and the Americas four thousand years ago !

New theory, well researched

Very knowable Very knowable Very knowable Very knowable Very knowable Don’t put requirements on peoples’ opinion.

Really fascinating

Menzies does his research and creates a great argument to the subject. The story is fascinating and even if you are doubtful it will surely draw you in and make you think....what if?
