Description
Atlantis Destroyed by Rodney Castleden explores the possibility that Plato's account of Atlantis is historically true. The author examines two potential locations for Atlantis: Minoan Crete and Minoan Thera, and discusses recent research findings on these sites. Castleden looks at the material culture, trade empire, agricultural system, writing, wall paintings, art, religion, and society of the Minoan civilization, highlighting parallels with Plato's narrative. He also investigates how a vision of Atlantis as a lost utopia has developed over time, becoming confused with the original account. By re-examining these theories and findings, Castleden sheds new light on the legend of Atlantis and its possible historical roots.
