Submerged Atlantis Restored, or Links and Cycles

About this book

If Atlantis sank, where would its survivors have gone, and what traces might remain in later cultures? J. Ben Leslie follows the lost-continent idea through cycles of destruction and renewal.

His writing belongs to speculative antiquarianism, where resemblances between myths or monuments were often treated as evidence of vast prehistoric connections. Modern geology and archaeology do not support the existence of the civilisation he describes. The book is nevertheless a record of how the Atlantis story grew into a far-reaching explanation for forgotten history.
