Brings to light what REALLY happened 3,200 years ago...

"The Destruction of Atlantis," written by Frank Joseph, is by far the best book I have read concerning the fall of the lost city of Atlantis. The book brings uses evidence from several civilizations worldwide to futher its claims and is terribly compelling. Jospeh starts slow, first recounting the story of Atlantis as he sees it and then elaborating his details with scientific fact. This book is definantly one that is hard to put down; it coherantly brings together everything scientists know about the city and everything they are afraid to pursue in a manner that is understandable to anyone. The book is centered around the idea that Atlantis sank to the bottom of the Atlantic during the early days of November 1198 B.C.E. after a meteor struck the ocean setting off a huge cataclysmic event. Joseph explains how the world was reaching the height of civilization when a horrific deluge ensued, knocking back humanity and destroying the Bronze Age.This book is wonderfully written and I encourage any Atlantean fanatic OR skeptic to check it out; it is definantly worth it.

Great book for facts on Atlantis

The book deals with all sorts of evidence that Atlantis did exsist but not way most people think. Atlantis most likely did not sink but was hit by a comet, which caused a catastrophic explosion, then hit by another comet close to it's waters causing a massive deluge. The amazing part is that this flood is is talked about in the Old Testament, Sumerian, Egyption, Greek, Mayan, Native American, Indian, and many other ancient cultures all over the world without having any contact with one another and having the same story about a great flood that affected the whole planet. All the evidence points to around 1200bc,a comet hit the earth causing the destruction of Atlantis. Even Plato's description point to 1200bc. When Plato talked about the time of Atlantis being 9,000 years before his time, according to the author Plato meant 900 years before his time, which makes that around 1200bc. The book brings to light the many cultures all over the world talk about a cataclysmic event that affected the whole earth, all of it sounding like the description of a comet striking the earth. This book will amaze you with all the facts the author brings to light. Great book!!!

Destruction of Atlantis

Extremely readable and understandable. This book is based on fact rather than the usual Mumbo-Jumbo that surrounds Atlantis. I strongly recommend it for anybody seeking what is historically accurate.Rev Jay Driskellaka Rondout

Well-written, thoroughly researched

A book rich in detail without seeming obsessional. If you enjoy relating research and discoveries from many different scientific fields, this is a book for you. Ditto if you enjoy ancient history and mythology from many different cultures. This book is written at a relaxed and intelligent pace and I hope it prods new research.The concept of an Atlantis as a small or mid-size island off the coast of Portugal is striking, and while the theory of comet debris meteorites setting off a chain reaction in the mid-Atlantic ridge may at first seem doubtful, the author's argument is well-reasoned. I had forgotten how even a few decades ago in history, the approach of a comet would evoke great fear in people. It makes sense that the human race carries subconsciousmemories of multi-meteoritic strikes from a close-passing comet, and the author presents pictures of this from several cultures as well as the obvious Book of Exodus.One question I have is: if the Atlanteans were a so darn smart (and the author credits them with the Great Pyramid of Giza, Stonehenge, and the huge close-fitting stonework of the Andes and other areas) and world-ranging people, why didn't they realize the danger of building their home city on the volcanicMt. Atlas? Well, I guess just like us, they got stupid and lazy!
