​​Atlantis never lost. The story of Santorini

What could cosmopolitan Santorini and the lost Atlantis possibly have in common?

No incontrovertible (неопровержимый, бесспорный) evidence of the existence of Atlantis has yet come to light. The fact is that the only reliable written record of this legendary civilisation, shrouded in mystery, is to be found in the dialogues of Plato.

This book reveals that if such a civilisation as that of Atlantis ever really existed, the evidence overwhelmingly (чрезвычайно, в подавляющем большинстве случаев) points to the conclusion that is exactly what Plato was describing when he wrote about the magnificent Minoan civilisation that reached every corner of the Aegean sea and came to an abrupt end (внезапный конец) with the cataclysmic eruption (извержение вулкана) of the volcano on Santorini.
