Of the estimated 2,500 books and magazine articles published about the lost civilization, The Atlantis Encyclopedia stands alone. Unlike other books on the subject, it offers fewer theories and more facts, with detailed data on geology, astronomy and oceanography. And numerous stories that have never been presented together in a single volume¡ªthe folk traditions of peoples around the world who have preserved memories of a Great Flood that destroyed an ancestral island of memorial splendor. The Atlantis Encyclopedia brings together all the known details of this immense, perennially fascinating subject. It is a handbook of Atlantean information for general readers and specialists alike. The Atlantis Encyclopedia offers equally exhaustive information about a Pacific counterpart, the lost kingdom of Mu, also known as Lemuria. Although at opposite cultural and geographical poles, the two civilizations were at least partially contemporaneous, in contact with each other, and succumbed in the end to natural catastrophes which may have been related. Although it does not set out to prove the sunken capital actually existed, The Atlantis Encyclopedia musters so much evidence on its behalf, even skeptics may conclude there must be something factual behind such an enduring legend. For true believers, this book is a gold mine of information to help them better understand the lost civilization. The Atlantis Encyclopedia attempts to answer the most pertinent questions posed by this millennial mystery: 1) What was Atlantis? 2) Where was it located? 3) How long ago did it flourish? 4) How was it destroyed? 5) What became of its survivors? 6) Have any remains of Atlantis ever been found? 7) Will Atlantis ever be found? 8) Did Atlantis have any impact on America? The Atlantis Encyclopedia is a result of nearly a quarter century of continuous study and international travel¡ªdozens of on-site explorations combined with research in the libraries of the world and the shared wisdom of devoted colleagues. Since 1993, Frank Joseph has been the editor-in-chief of Ancient American, a popular science magazine describing overseas visitors to our continent centuries before the arrival of Columbus. Joseph's dozen books on history and metaphysics have been published in as many foreign language editions around the world. He is a veteran scuba diver who lives with his wife, Laura, and daughter, Sally, in Colfax, WI. Includes 16 page full color insert.
