'A MODERN CLASSIC ON A SUBJECT WHICH TODAY, FAR FROM BEING A LOST CAUSE, IS UNDERGOING A RISE IN POPULAR INTEREST.' Nexus

Paul Dunbavin sets out his controversial theory that Plato's Atlantis myth remembers the submergence of a Neolithic civilization around the shores of the British Isles. He shows that this cataclysm resulted from a change in the Earth's axis after a comet impact at the dawn of civilisation around 3100 BC.

That period was a time of climate and sea level change all around the world. Welsh legends tell of lost cities beneath the Irish Sea; and Irish myths recall a lost 'otherworld', a golden age when the eastern Irish Sea was a flowery plain inhabited by a golden-haired race of men. The author argues that Plato's civilisation can be identified in a convergence of these Celtic myths with the Ancient Egyptian and Greek myths of an underworld known as the Elysian Fields.

Bringing together modern scientific evidence with a pattern in many mythologies the author presents a compelling multi-disciplinary case for Atlantis as a memory of the submerged civilization of the megalith-builders in Neolithic Britain and Ireland.

When first published the author's theories produced reviews of enlightenment and scorn in almost equal measure. Consider the evidence and see what you think!
