  2. Atlantis: The Lost Continent Finally Found
    Atlantis: The Lost Continent Finally Found
    The Definitive Location of Plato's Lost Civilization
    Prof. Arysio Nunes dos Santos Ph.D.

    Atlantis! Few words evoke a deeper feeling of wonder, and of an utter sense of irreparable loss than the name of the Lost Continent. And this fascinating mix of feelings has lasted since the times of Plato, the great philosopher who wrote about Atlantis some two and a half millennia ago, when Greece was still the main center of culture in the Western World. But is Atlantis just a myth? A Science Fiction creation? Or is it indeed an actual history, somehow restored to the realm of reality by the magic pen of the prince of philosophers? There is a certain something in the story of Atlantis that captures human imagination and instantly fascinates everyone who reads Plato’s masterful account of the lost prehistoric empire of global extent. Perhaps this something is Plato’s insistence on the fact that he is speaking truthfully, and that the story of Atlantis is an absolute reality.
