Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Could Is it possible that humanity's most enigmatic civilization has remained hidden not for lack of evidence, but due to an excess of academic prejudice? What if Plato's account were actually the faded chronicle of an intercontinental thalassocracy centered in the Iberian southwest? How can we ignore the astonishing connection between the megalithic phenomenon and ancient transatlantic voyages? Where do ideological interpretation and the historical paradigm stand in the face of an Atlantis that is no longer a myth but evidence? Atlantis: Deciphering the Atlantic Civilization examines the traces of a tsunami catastrophe confirmed in the Guadalquivir paleoestuary, documents sophisticated sailing voyages three millennia before the Phoenician arrival, and reconstructs a vast trade network that would explain the presence of African ivory and Sicilian amber in Andalusian dolmens dating back five thousand years. Furthermore, it focuses on the geographical implications of Egyptian maps of the afterlife and establishes parallels with the sociopolitical division of the Incas to portray Atlantis. In short, it renounces idealism and speculation, and establishes the subject as a field of study for all sciences, far removed from legend. José Orihuela Guerrero coordinates this fourth installment of the series that, since 2022, has been laying the foundations for a whole field of scientific Atlantology. Philologists, archaeologists, geologists, anthropologists, and historians come together in an unprecedented new holistic effort to rationally trace a real Holocene culture in the lands of the Gulf of Cádiz. Will we be able to recognize the vestiges of the empire before oblivion buries them forever? Will Atlantis achieve recognition as intangible cultural heritage of humanity?
