Atlantis
Lost kingdom of the Andes
The story of Atlantis is one of the great puzzles of ancient times: a great city which, according to the Greek philosophers Plato, sank into the sea in the space of a single day and night. Until now, no one has been able to pinpoint the location of Atlantis, nor prove whether it even existed.
In this groundbreaking study, Jim Allen presents the first rigorously explored "Atlantis theory". He documents a site in the high Altiplano of the Bolivian Andes that matches Plato's description of the fabled land, as well as the local legend of a city sunk by earthquakes. Lavishly illustrated with satellite mapping, historical drawings and photographs from his own research in the field, Jim Allen concludes that the lost kingdoms of Atlantis was an ancient civilization on the continent we now know as South America.
