Menzies, Gavin.

The lost empire of Atlantis : history's greatest mystery revealed / Gavin Menzies. - London : Swordfish, 2011. - xviii, 374 p., [16] p. of plates : ill. ; 24 cm.

After a chance conversation in Egypt in 2008, bestselling historian Gavin Menzies launched himself on a quest that would reveal the truth behind the mystery of Atlantis and her destruction. Through an examination of documentary and academic research, metallurgy, ancient shipbuilding and navigation techniques, artefacts and DNA evidence, Menzies slowly and painstakingly reveals a trading empire that spanned from the Great Lakes in North America to Kerala in India. And in doing so finally explains the incredible reality behind the legendary civilisation described by Plato and its disappearance.
