We’re starting a new series, THE WEST ATLANTIS MANIFESTO, which is totally fictional. Or
maybe not entirely fictional. That will be for you to decide. You and history to decide.

HISTORY OF WEST ATLANTIS
The first known written reference to Atlantis was by the Greek Philosopher, Plato. Roughly in
the year 360 BC, he wrote two dialogues called Timaeus and Critias, in which he spoke
of an advanced civilization called Atlantis. The nation turned warlike and wicked, and
was punished by the gods. It was destroyed by earthquakes and sank beneath the sea.

Most of the so-called “experts” today think that Atlantis never really existed, but was just
a story made up by Plato to illustrate his point. But there are still quite a number who
believe that Plato wrote about a real place.

The truth of the matter is revealed in the “novel,” THE AMAZING ORIGIN OF
ATLANTIS, which answers ALL of the questions about the Lost Continent:

What was Plato’s inspiration for the story?
Where was Atlantis?
Who destroyed it? And why?
