Description

A bold new study invites listeners to reconsider the ancient story of a sunken island once described by Plato. The author argues that this island—often dismissed as myth—was a real continent in the Atlantic that gave rise to the first steps from barbarism to civilization. By treating the legend as history, the book sets the stage for a fresh look at humanity’s earliest cultural breakthroughs.

The work weaves together clues from flood narratives, ancient mythologies, and linguistic traces that span continents. It examines how tales of gods, heroic kings, and lost gardens may echo the deeds of a once‑powerful people whose influence reached from the Mediterranean to the Americas. Detailed chapters explore connections between Atlantean technology, early bronze work, and the spread of alphabetic scripts.

Listeners will find a compelling mix of scholarly argument and imaginative reconstruction, all aimed at answering long‑standing puzzles about our shared past. If the author’s hypotheses hold, they could reshape how we view the origins of many world cultures.

About the author

Ignatius Donnelly

Ignatius Donnelly

1831–1901

A fiery 19th-century reformer, he moved from Congress to the Populist movement and became almost as famous for his bold ideas as for his politics. He also wrote wildly popular books arguing that Atlantis was real and that Francis Bacon wrote Shakespeare’s plays.
