Atlantis Destroyed
Atlantis Destroyed [225] by Rodney Castleden favours a Minoan Atlantis, but opts for Crete rather than Thera as the centre of power. He outlines the parallels between Plato’s story and the Minoan civilisation of the Aegean. He uses statistical analysis to demonstrate that Minoan Crete was closer to Plato’s description of Atlantis than previously thought.
Castleden’s book discusses in detail the archaeology and geography of Minoan Crete and Thera and how these relate to Atlantis. This book is to be highly recommended although this reviewer does not agree with its conclusions.
