Publisher's Synopsis
Plato's legendary account of a sunken island civilization called Atlantis has fascinated adventurers for centuries. Recent efforts to find Plato's lost island have culminated in two exciting underwater surveys in the Eastern Mediterranean that were staged in 2004 and 2006 both of which uncovered tantalizing evidence that strongly merits additional inquiry. In this colour-illustrated book, Commodore Robert S. Bates sifts through the acquired evidence and argues that our search for Atlantis or what some call Eden may now be narrowed to a sunken continent adjacent to Cyprus that geologists located decades ago. The History Channel funded and filmed the second expedition to this site, but you will learn in this book why a third expedition may now be warranted. In recognition of the likely confluence of the two great legends of Atlantis and Eden, Bates calls the ongoing research into this sunken land the Eden-Atlantis Project. This short book offers you a thorough review of the recently obtained archaeological evidence pointing to an Eastern Mediterranean location for Eden-Atlantis. It also links these new scientific facts with the historical evidence that a proto-civilization may have preceded the known civilizations of the ancient Near East. · Two deep underwater expeditions, one funded and filmed by the History Channel in 2006, discovered remains of what may be the Garden of Eden, and these humanly created artifacts also point to the legend of Atlantis. The location is one mile down in the Eastern Mediterranean near Cyprus. · These two early expeditions yielded startling results that were covered worldwide by major media, including CNN, the BBC, and even in Pravda and Beijing Times. · Ten years of data analysis by original expedition leader Captain Robert Bates point to the need for a third expedition, now utilizing far better research technology and better targets. The result may culminate humanity's long search for its far-distant origins in the mists of pre-Sumerian history.
