Compelling Evidence of the Sudden Fall of the Legendary Civilization
$22.00
All human cultures, from classical and biblical to native North and South American, share the myth of an ancient deluge, an environmental catastrophe, handed down from the heavens and destroying a race. Now, in The Destruction of Atlantis, author Frank Joseph links this worldwide cultural phenomenon to the story of the lost civilization of Atlantis, which in a single day and night disappeared into the sea in a violent cataclysm.
In the most comprehensive account published to date of the legendary island of Atlantis, Frank Joseph provides compelling evidence, from twenty years of research around the globe, that Atlantis was at the root of all subsequent human civilizations. Brilliantly refuting years of modern skepticism, he combines evidence from archaeology, geology, astronomy, and ancient lore to prove the existence of Atlantean civilization and its catastrophic demise in the context of the Near Eastern Bronze Age society at the end of the 13th century B.C.E. He seamlessly combines hard scientific evidence with a stunning imaginative re-creation of what it must have been like to walk the streets of Atlantis in its last days. The resulting portrait of a mighty empire corrupted by an overreaching lust for wealth and power offers an important lesson to our own civilization.
