I see the shills have been around here reviewing. I see comments like "speculative" "needs proof" and the like. What??? We must have read entirely different books. There was little in the way of unsupported speculation. Lots of artifacts, hard science and math, history, and nautical knowledge of which Menzies has plenty of. Lets get this out of the way. This is not really about finding or proving Atlantis. It is about suggesting that the tale of Atlantis might have been inspired by the real life Minoans and their "well attested by artifacts all over the world" empire. There are certain conclusions that are impossible to deny, if you remove the impossible, as Sherlock Holmes would suggest. But shills and their supporters just want to discourage any sensible revision of history, fearing that real history might unravel their nonsense they have been feeding us for so long such as Columbus discovered America or that we were all idiots and cavemen prior to 1776 or 1860 and that no one could sail or navigate the world so early. That might indicate brains and knowledge and then one has to ask, where did that knowledge originate?
Now that does not mean the book is error free. Menzies seems to suggest an empire lasting continuously for 3000 years. I'd sooner believe in the Easter bunny than that any empire could last that long. He also chooses to ignore the 1628 BC tree ring recorded date for Mt. Thera, one of the biggest eruptions, 3rd largest in the last 400,000 years, and whose tree ring record shows up all over the world in tree rings. That is pretty hard to ignore. Menzies also misses that the Minoans likely had a "sons of Gomer and Javan" origin as revealed by a very rare but most amazing book on the Celtic people of old lost history by a French Monk, Paul Yves Pezron. You should get it and read it. But these are small nit picking things. Menzies did an amazing and you will note the many 5 star ratings of people who share far more brain power than the shills and "geniuses." Yes, that was intended to be sarcastic. It is stunning to realize that such a vast organized empire existed so early. But climate and the internal breakdown of the "family business" likely took them down and out in the late Bronze age. Yes, the Minoans were likely all somewhat related and a family can only stay together for so long. Read about the first multinational corporation on earth. That is what this was. A great book and easy to read and will hold your interest. 1434, by comparison, was dry by the nature of its content. No dryness here. Menzies delivers, big time!

Atlantis, New World Copper Connection, ITS TRUE!
I agree with other reviews, "Best explanation yet, on Atlantis" I would like to see more evidence on the Minoan influence on Stonehenge , the other henges in the UK, and the Welsh mining operation, in general! I hope more definitive Minoan "fingerprints" will be unearthed soon! I realize they just are not out there.....yet.A few quick thoughts. What about the WAUBANSEE STONE? ( see photo) Didn't read about that! Google it! The stone was an ancient relic found on the shore of Lake Michigan, at the junction where the river system to the Mississippi starts, just outside Chicago. It may be a sacrificial alter. Very typical of thePhoenicians seafaring ritual. Also, Phoenician in appearance, notice the closed eyes. Same style of face found in their homeland, on other dipctions of their gods.If you sailed into Lake Superior thru the St. Lawrence seaway, how would you get past Niagara Falls? Its in the way!You can sail to Hudson bay Canada, from the Atlantic. Then south thru the rivers to lake Superior, its tricky, and some smaller rivers. I agreed on the "FACT" of an ancient world copper industry in the lake Superior basin. For more on Great Lakes copper trade read Berry Fell AMERICA B.C.All in all, a really GOOD BOOK, Amazing research, Fun read too,
