Book excerpt: Over 2350 years ago, Plato created a fabulous account of an island empire set in the Far West. He called it Atlantis. Ever since then philosophers, historians and explorers have debated its reality and searched in vain for its whereabouts - until now. Andrew Collins goes in search of the real Atlantis and demonstrates the former existence of Plato's island, and also reveals its true location... which still exists today. At long last, the mysteries which surround the myth are answered. Why did Plato state that Atlantis lay in the ocean close to an opposite continent once accessible to ancient voyagers? What caused the earthquakes and floods which destroyed the area? And was all or just part of Atlantis' island empire lost?
