The Flood from Heaven: Deciphering the Atlantis Legend

$15.00 CAD

pp. xi, (1), 255, “The author, a noted geoarchaeologist who has done extensive investigative fieldwork in landscapes of Bronze Age Greece and has recently excavated at Tiryns, goes to the source of the Atlantis legend, two of Plato’s dialogs. Zangger examines these accounts in great detail, accepts them as historically based, and presents evidence for identifying Bronze Age Troy as the most likely site of “Atlantis.” Zangger’s approach, which also draws on archaeological and geological evidence, is impressive in its scope and makes fascinating reading. His overview of other theories and his arguments against his own conclusions are intellectually stimulating and engaging. “
