THE TRUTH BEHIND THE
MYSTERY OF ATLANTIS
In 2008 best-selling historian
Gavin Menzies launched a quest
to reveal the true story of Atlantis
and her destruction. Through an
examination of documentary and
academic research, artifacts, DNA
evidence and more, Menzies reveals
what he says was an enormous,
powerful trading empire like no
other. The Lost Empire of Atlantis
(William Morrow) reads like a real-
life Indiana Jones adventure as
Menzies spans the globe in pursuit
of his story—a lost piece of history.
