From the author of the bestselling 1421: The Year China Discovered the World. For thousands of years, Atlantis has captured the imagination of explorers, philosophers, and treasure hunters. But beyond the confines of thrillers, did this legendary city actually exist? Following the trail of evidence that has led him around the world, Gavin Menzies unveils the extraordinary truth. And by examining new geological research, cargo recovered from ancient shipwrecks, recently unearthed archaeological artifacts, and DNA data, he has discovered something astonishing: not only did Atlantis actually exist, but it was also at the heart of an advanced society, a vast global trading empire that stretched from the Mediterranean to Great Britain, Northern Europe, India, and even North America. As compelling as the adventures of Indiana Jones, The Lost Empire of Atlantis is both a thrilling and engaging search for truth and a groundbreaking work of popular history that will forever change our understanding of the past.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159556767996,"sku":"9788528618310","price":94.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/571e8efda655be46f136d4472ffa3b14_bbcc2fe4-115e-4fa2-ab07-73988cdedb61.jpg?v=1778323243"},{"product_id":"1421-o-ano-em-que-a-china-descobriu-o-mundo","title":"1421: The Year China Discovered the World","description":"\"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHistoriography with nuances of historical romance, \u003cem\u003e1421: The Year China Discovered the World\u003c\/em\u003e is the global bestseller that is rewriting history.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eOn March 8, 1421, the largest fleet the world had ever seen set sail from its base in China.

This time, the author presents new evidence linking the roots of the European Renaissance to 15th-century Chinese explorations. Based on years of research, Menzies raises crucial questions: was a Chinese expedition to Italy in 1434, including official ambassadors from the emperor, the precursor to a vast collection of knowledge? Among these are art, geography (including world maps, which were passed on to Christopher Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan), astronomy, mathematics, printing, architecture, ironworks, and military weaponry. And did this influence spread across Europe and give rise to the legendary inventiveness of the Renaissance, including the genius of Da Vinci, Copernicus, Galileo, and many others?","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176752791804,"sku":"9788528614466","price":84.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/c2ea8bbffb00392103f82e76625bc29b_36a2ff27-16a3-40bb-91ae-2873a7ac7bdb.jpg?v=1778324172"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/gavin-menzies.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
