The story of the legendary continent of Atlantis, told in Plato’s dialogues Timaeus and Critias, has a basis in reality. This is evidenced by numerous evidence and scientific facts - in particular, traces of the Atlantean people discovered during the study of the ancient civilizations of Central America and the Mediterranean. The book offered to the attention of readers tells about the search for Atlantis in ancient times and the Middle Ages. Rare artifacts, valuable evidence, and unique records of navigators are collected here, confirming Plato’s story in detail. Based on the studied sources, contrary to the “revelations” of representatives of the occult-esoteric tradition, the prospects for a strictly scientific solution to the question of the existence of this ancient continent are considered.
