This book created somewhat of a sensation in the literary and scientific world. Mr. Donnelly argues that Plato's story was true; that all the ancient civilizations of Europe and America radiated from this ancient kingdom, and that this is the reason we find pyramids, obelisks, and buildings almost Identically alike in Egypt, Mexico and Peru.

Donnelly's statements and ample evidence deliver ample evidence for the existence of the continent of Atlants. This book is a must have for all folklorists and people, who are interested in the possible history of a famous nation.
