Finding The Truth Behind Atlantis - Mark Adams

The myth of "The Lost City of Atlantis" stems from a Plato story. Plato was one of the founders of Western philosophy and did use parables to illustrate points, but every time he discussed Atlantis, he clearly stated "This is not a parable." So Mark Adams went on a hunt for a plausible location of the city, based on clues from Plato and historical events in antiquity. Even if Adams never finds Atlantis, he offers a moral from Atlantis' myth: a technologically advanced society loses its bearings, and is punished for its hubris with natural disasters. Adams' new book, Meet Me in Atlantis is available now.
