Features: The legend of Atlantis has existed for a considerable time. As early as several centuries BC, Plato mentioned this place in his dialogues, describing it as a continent at the other end of the Pillars of Hercules, which once fought wars with the Athenians. Subsequently, until the 19th century, people no longer questioned the existence of Atlantis. It was not until Donnelly published this book that the world began to reconsider Atlantis. Donnelly's contribution lies in extensively compiling relevant scientific and mythological materials, proposing the hypothesis that Atlantis not only existed but was also the cradle of world civilization. Such detailed descriptions resemble travel accounts or guidebooks, suggesting that in some timeline, there truly exist other beings to which we could travel and explore.
Nearly 2,000 years of exploration into Atlantis have revealed that the legendary disasters align perfectly with historical records. Why does this alignment occur? Could the disappearance of Atlantis have concealed the truth about human civilization? This secret, once held by ancient Egyptian priests, was first revealed through Plato's writings, yet over thousands of years, explorers and historians have remained baffled by it: why are almost all civilizations in the world connected to Atlantis? The world's oldest colony was likely Atlantis itself, which conquered ancient Egypt. Today's Egyptian civilization is entirely a replication of Atlantis's. Europe's "Bronze Age" was also originated from Atlantis. At the same time, the smelting of iron first began here; the alphabets of all European nations, derived from the Phoenicians, also originated from Atlantis, and this alphabet was later spread to the Mayans in Mesoamerica.
What is even more astonishing is how to explain the memory of the Great Flood preserved in ancient civilizations worldwide? Noah, who survived the flood in the Ark as described in the Bible; or Yu the Great, who tamed the floods in Chinese mythology. Are these all mere historical coincidences? It is noteworthy that the dates recorded in these accounts largely fall within 9,000 BC, which coincides perfectly with Plato's records! So, was Atlantis a real historical fact, or merely a fanciful invention of our ancestors?
This work by the renowned American writer Donnelly, published in 1882, is one of the authoritative studies on Atlantis in the world today. Donnelly brilliantly explains the profound natural and historical mysteries, adding a touch of magic to the millennia-old enigma of Atlantis.
