DARWIN, Australia - s4story -- Independent author, publisher and researcher Peta Oakes, writing as Gaelic Mac Dubhdara, announces the release of Atlantis: Plato's Lost City, a new exploration of one of the ancient world's most enduring mysteries.

More than two thousand years ago, the Greek philosopher Plato described an extraordinary island civilisation beyond the Pillars of Heracles. Atlantis possessed immense wealth, monumental architecture, sacred temples, powerful armies and a formidable maritime empire. Yet according to Plato, prosperity gave way to corruption, conflict and catastrophe, and the civilisation ultimately disappeared beneath the sea.

Atlantis: Plato's Lost City returns to the original account in Plato's Timaeus and Critias to examine what the ancient sources actually say about Atlantis. The book explores its geography, political structure, sacred kingship, architecture, wealth, military power and destruction, while also considering the philosophical context in which the story appears.

The investigation extends to Egypt, Solon, Athens, the Pillars of Heracles, Bronze Age parallels, archaeology and natural catastrophe, including the role earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and changing coastlines may have played in preserving memories of lost places and destroyed civilisations.

Rather than claiming to have definitively located Atlantis, the book considers whether Plato's account may reflect a combination of history, philosophy, mythology and cultural memory. It also traces how later generations transformed Atlantis into the world's most famous lost civilisation.

At its heart, the book asks why Atlantis has remained so powerful in the human imagination for more than two millennia.

Readers interested in Atlantis, Plato, ancient Greece, ancient Egypt, archaeology, lost civilisations, classical philosophy, comparative mythology, ancient catastrophes and the mysteries of the ancient world may find particular interest in this latest release.
