The swamping of Atlantis occurred nine thousand before Plato, which, historically, is also the beginning of the Holocene epoch; a time recognised by science as being an era of truly immense floods, powerful earthquakes and volcanism. In this book you are taken on a journey of investigation and discovery of ancient tales and modern knowledge. In the course of the journey you will, with the author, consider Plato's descriptions of Atlantis, extract the important aspects of his descriptions of the physical environment of Atlantis, delimit the area within which one could reasonably hope to find Atlantis and then compare Plato's descriptions with currently known scientific facts about a submerged area in the North Atlantic. Ultimately, you are invited to decide whether you agree with the author that Plato was describing a real place. This is not about Plato's description of the Atlantean civilisation, it is about whether Plato's story was set in a real, geographical, place.Over three hundred books and scientific articles and over two hundred web resources are cited covering the geology, geomorphology and bathymetry of the submerged area, the oceanography and palaeo-climate of the area and other scientific facts corroborating that this area is what Plato called Atlantis.
