The late author Arysio Santos was a highly regarded
climatologist, geologist, and nuclear physicist. He was also a
scholar of history, folklore, languages, and the occult. In this
groundbreaking study of Atlantis, he draws on all these
disciplines, as well as ancient maps, Plato’s dialogues, and
folkloric narratives, to provide the most compelling case yet of
the disappearance of an entire civilization.
Professor Santos demonstrates that Plato’s dating of Atlantis’s
disappearance in 11,600 BP before present precisely corresponds
to the catastrophic end of the Pleistocene Ice Age, as well as a
historic flood event of cataclysmic proportions. The rising of the
sea level by nearly 500 feet, he argues, submerged continent-sized
lands—including Atlantis, which he connects with the biblical
Garden of Eden. Provocative chapters cover such topics as the
continent’s appearance in ancient maps, Indonesia as the true site
of Eden, American interpretations of Atlantis, the four rivers of
paradise, and more, giving a clear form to the ghostly outline of
this fabled land.
