Atlantis! The legendary lost continent comes under the close scrutiny of maverick archaeologist David Hatcher Childress in this sixth book in the internationally popular Lost Cities series. Childress takes the reader in search of sunken cities in the Mediterranean; across the Atlas Mountains in search of Atlantean ruins; to remote islands in search of megalithic ruins; to meet living legends and secret societies. From Ireland to Turkey, Morocco to Eastern Europe, and from Malta to the remote islands of the Mediterranean and Atlantic, Childress takes the reader on an astonishing quest for mankind's past. Ancient technology, cataclysms, megalithic construction, lost civilizations and devastating wars of the past are all explored in this book. Childress challenges the skeptics and proves that great civilizations not only existed in the past, but the modern world and its problems are reflections of the ancient world of Atlantis. Chapters include: Civilization's Legendary Beginning; Atlantis & the Hittite Empire; The Sunken Cities of Osiris; The Cyclopean Walls of Olympus; Etruscans & the Legacy of Rome; Ancient Gods of Osiris; Carthage & the Lost Cities of Atlas; The Lost Cities of Hercules; Atlantis & the Priory of Zion; The Northern Atlantis; Stonehenge & the Holy Grail; The Vitrified Forts of Atlantis; The Lost Land of Tir-Na-n'Og; more.
