Atlantis and the Antideluvian world – I Donnelly

In “Atlantis and the Antediluvian World,” Ignatius Donnelly explores the possibility of a lost, advanced civilization that predated our own. He presents evidence from mythology, geology, and ancient texts to support the idea that Atlantis was a real place and that its people possessed remarkable knowledge and technology.

Donnelly argues that this civilization was destroyed by a global catastrophe, possibly a comet or asteroid impact, that triggered widespread flooding and other disasters. Despite its controversial claims, “Atlantis and the Antediluvian World” has remained a popular and influential work on the subject of lost civilizations.
