History Channel features Algarve\u2019s “connection to Atlantis”<\/strong><\/p>\n A documentary entitled In Search of Aliens: The Hunt for Atlantis will soon be airing in Europe on the History Channel and its sister channel H2, featuring the small town of Silves\u2019 possible connection to the island of Atlantis.<\/p>\n Although a date has not been announced \u2013 it is expected to air this week \u2013 the documentary can already been seen online.<\/p>\n The documentary includes a lengthy discussion with local author Peter Daughtrey, whose book Atlantis and the Silver City was published last year, at well-known Silves eatery Caf\u00e9 do Ingl\u00eas.<\/p>\n Daughtrey presents his case that Silves is the southwest Iberian area ancient Greek philosopher Plato was referring to in his famous works about Atlantis – thus solving the \u201c2,400-year-old mystery of where Plato was referring to\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cIt matches the elaborate and exceptionally detailed description given by Plato for the ancient small Atlantis capital,\u201d Daughtrey added.<\/p>\n His \u201cexhaustive analysis\u201d of what Plato wrote leads him to believe that most of Atlantis may now be \u201csubmerged and forming seabed in front of the Algarve\u2019s coast\u201d.<\/p>\n The author also said that he is \u201cvery grateful\u201d his theory is being disseminated to a worldwide audience.<\/p>\n \u201cApart from stimulating interest in the Algarve, I hope that someone with suitable equipment will be inspired to mount a proper search to see if there are any remains on the seabed. Only then will we know if Plato was telling the truth or not,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n If you wish to learn more about Peter Daughtrey\u2019s theory on Atlantis, hardback, paperback and e-book versions of his book are available from Amazon.<\/p>\n To view the full documentary online, visit: http:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/video\/x2278b9_in-search-of-aliens-s01e01-the-…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Posted by portugalpress on September 03, 2014 History Channel features Algarve\u2019s “connection to Atlantis” A documentary entitled In Search of Aliens: The Hunt for Atlantis will soon be airing in Europe on the History Channel and its sister channel H2, featuring the small town of Silves\u2019 possible connection to the island of Atlantis.
