Project Gutenberg 2003-05-01 Public domain in the USA. 313 Donnelly, Ignatius 1831 1901 Boisgilbert, Edmund Donnelly, I. L. (Ignatius L.) Atlantis: The Antedeluvian World Produced by Norm Walcott, source from Mr. J.B. Hare "Atlantis: The Antediluvian World" by Ignatius Donnelly is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book presents a compelling investigation into the legendary lost civilization of Atlantis, positing that it was a real continent that once existed in the Atlantic Ocean, influencing the development of various ancient civilizations across the globe. Donnelly aims to prove that the myth was rooted in historical fact and explores numerous cultural, geological, and archaeological connections to substantiate his claims about this enigmatic civilization. The opening of the book establishes the author's purpose and the main propositions he seeks to address. Donnelly outlines his belief that Atlantis was not merely a fable but the cradle of civilization, home to advanced knowledge and technology that spread to both Europe and the Americas. He references Plato's works to make his case, asserting that the history of Atlantis has been preserved through various global flood myths and artistic representations. The text argues that understanding Atlantis can provide insights into human history, civilization's roots, and the catastrophic events that could have led to its destruction. Through extensive research from various fields, Donnelly seeks to challenge prevailing skepticism regarding the existence of Atlantis and invites readers to reconsider overlooked historical narratives.
