| Summary, etc | For 2,000 years Atlantis has tantalized the mind of man: Was it a myth or a memory? Did it exist and, if so, where? How and why did it disappear? Here, at last, is the full, firsthand account by the man who led the scientific expedition that found Atlantis and revealed the way it became "lost" - in the greatest single natural disaster witnessed by man - a cataclysm so great it has lef tis indelible impact on the myths and legends of several cultures.<br/>Plato's story of "lost" Atlantis baffled scientists, explorers, scholars, and historians for centuries, until the contemporary Greek scientist A.G. Galanopoulos announced his controversial theory that the volcanic Aegean island of Thera was the site of Atlantis - a theory verified by archaeological and geological evidence uncovered on the land and under the sea by two expeditions led by James W. Mavor. Every step of this dramatic, historic voyage - involving worldwide array of experts, modern scientific equipment, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Instutution's research vessel Chain - is brilliantly recaptured in Mavor's book. <br/>An Amateur in a field jealously guarded by professionals, James Mavor, by demonstrating the truth of what was thougth to be only legend, has created a controversy of international proportions. Now his personal behind-the-headlines account of Atlantis discloses what discoveries were made and details the clash of personalities and the political and scientific rivlaries that threaten future discoveries. Here, too, is fascinating evidence demonstrating the startling link beween Atlantis and other ancient civilizations, the Greek myths, even the Bible. |
