Atlantis

ISBN: 9798889892854

According to the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, Atlantis was a utopian island city and kingdom that was destroyed by a flood more than 11,000 years ago. But was it real or just a story? Scientists and historians seeking the truth debate conspiracy theories about the underwater island’s location, people, and tragic end, while pop culture spins more fantasies. For readers age 12 and up, this title investigates the phenomena surrounding Atlantis, from historical accounts and popular myths to hard facts, evidence, and notable sleuths. Includes a glossary, index, sidebars, and further resources.
