“And so Zeus... thinking about the glorious race, which had fallen into such pathetic depravity, decided to impose punishment on it...” - this is how Plato’s story about Atlantis ends - a civilization whose mystery is attractive for its elusive mystery... When and where did it flourish? How did you die? Perhaps its existence is just a figment of the imagination of an ancient philosopher? How to interpret the evidence of the ancients? Having asked these questions, the author, together with like-minded people, set off on a sea expedition. The journey, which began in the Crimean Sudak and ended near the shores of Santorini and Crete, was crowned with a number of amazing discoveries, which are described in this book.
