The Sunken Kingdom: The Atlantis Mystery Solved

Drawing on history, myth, and geological discoveries, James dismisses all the fantastic theories about Atlantis — then provides a radical solution of his own to the baffling mystery based on a late Bronze Age civilization near the port of Izmir. To prove his point, James takes us on a dizzying ride to Greece and Egypt, flashes evidence of a catastrophe in the Near East, and relates conclusively the founder of the Hittite Kingdom of Lydia to the ruler of Atlantis. An enthralling and controversial work of detective scholarship. Black-and-white photographs and illustrations.
