Lewis Spence develops an account of Atlantis by comparing Plato's narrative with geology, biological distribution, archaeology and traditions from Europe and the Americas. He assembles examples from different regions to explore the possibility of a shared prehistoric centre of civilisation.
The argument moves through prehistoric populations, Egypt, Central America and Peru before considering the geography of Atlantis and traditions of a great flood. Maps and plates accompany Spence's comparisons. This download preserves the complete revised edition published by William Rider in 1925, including the author's account of changes made since the first edition of May 1924.
