The Lost Empire of Atlantis

History's greatest mystery revealed. 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.
