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 had once fought against the Athenians. After that, until the 19th century, people no longer questioned the existence of Atlantis much, until Donnelly published this book. Donnelly's contribution lies in extensively compiling relevant scientific and mythological materials and boldly proposing the hypothesis that Atlantis not only existed but was also the cradle of world civilization. When the Egyptians took their dead to their graves, they wept, saying, "Go west, go west." The "underworld" that the Egyptians believed in refers to the underwater world of Atlantis. The sudden emergence of Egyptian civilization left the world astonished for years. It seemed to descend from some heavenly realm without any evolutionary process. Through repeated investigations by later historians and archaeologists, people increasingly discovered similarities between Egypt and Atlantis, and doubts gradually focused on Atlantis. Not only in Egypt, but when an Indian missionary saw those peculiar symbols—a five-pointed star projecting outward—in Peru, he excitedly declared that they represented "Peru and the four corners of the world." This symbol pointed directly to the ancient empire of Atlantis. Building on the mentioned in the book "The Secret of Atlantis - The Underwater City of the Atlantic," this book continues the clues from the previous book and conducts a comprehensive exploration of Atlantis through scientific analytical methods such as archaeology, comparative legends, and theoretical deductions. The essence of Atlantis is also reflected in this. Every reader who picks up this book will travel through time and space with the author, wandering between different ethnic groups and regions. A wealth of pictorial materials authentically recreates the astonishing moments of the, with the lost civilization and ancient history fully replicated and brought back to life.
