The mythical Atlantis that has inspired philosophers and poets of all the ages... Has it truly existed or not? Roberto Pinotti brings the legend to a historical and scientific standard, beyond mythology. He analyzes the arguments confronting various sources, taking advantage of contributions from numerous disciplines such as geography, oceanography, biology, anthropology and history. The author shows one alarming thesis: the most advanced antidiluvian civilization, lived in the Age of the Gold and submerged after a probable cosmic cataclysm, could also be from other worlds. Pinotti doesn't disappoint the reader, presenting yet one more reference book.
