Paul Dunbavin sets out his controversial theory that Platos Atlantis myth remembers the submergence of a Neolithic civilisation around the shores of the British Isles. He argues that this cataclysm resulted from a change in the Earths axis consequent upon a comet impact around 3100 BC.
The Middle Neolithic period around 5,000 years ago was a time of dramatic climate and sea level changes all around the world. Welsh legends remember lost cities beneath the Irish Sea; and Irish myths recall an otherworld, a golden age when the eastern Irish Sea was a flowery plain inhabited by a golden-haired race of men. The author argues that Platos Atlantis is the same place that is remembered in these Celtic myths; and in Ancient Egyptian and Greek myths of an underworld known as the Elysian Fields.
Bringing together modern scientific evidence and a pattern of ancient myths the author presents a multi-disciplinary case for Atlantis as just one among many views of the submerged Neolithic civilisation of the Megalithic Builders.
