The author discusses extensively the evidence for pre-Platonic contact between the mariners of the Mediterranean and the Western Hemisphere. Likewise, he examines carefully the religions and stories of Mesoamerican cultures relating to contact with travelers from Caribbean islands. Considering also the known histories of indigenous Caribbean and Bahamian peoples discovered by the Spanish explorers, there is much evidence presented that the location of legendary Atlantis lies somewhere in the Greater Antilles or Bahama Bank, rather than in the Mediterranean.Dismissed as less likely locations for the fabled city and culture are the mid-Atlantic Azores and the recently discovered piles of stone in the Yucatan Channel west of Cuba--mostly because of the depth of the surrounding seabeds. For this and other reasons, the author clearly favors western Cuba, including the area now under water between the main island and the Isle of Youth/Pines, as the most likely locus of ancient Atlantis.To be honest, I would have liked to see more discussion of the possible connection between Atlantis and such Mediterranean cultures as Minoan Crete, Egypt and Mycenian Greece. There is essentially no discussion of Plato's assertion of a major war between Atlantis and Athens. How could a culture that suffered a serious catastrophe in 10,600 BCE (or even its remnants) have posed an existential threat to a culture that is not likely older than 2000 BCE. Perhaps a clue can be found in the fresco of a Minoan "prince," whose appearance, especially his headdress, strongly suggests that of Mayan king. A naval clash between Minoan and Athenian armadas, perhaps over trading rights, does not seem outside the realm of possibility. (The naval war between England and the Netherlands in the 17th century CE comes to mind as a parallel.) Note that I'm not suggesting that either Crete or Thera were Atlantis, but only that they may have had some cultural inheritance from that possibly antediluvian polity, including an orientation toward long-distance seafaring. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Piece of Intellectual Atlantean "Chew Food" *by W***K on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2016* Excellent book. This is actually a revised update of Collin's earlier book, "Gateway To Atlantis", which I found totally engrossing several years ago. The update incorporates a lot of data from the late German scientist Otto Muck's ("The Secret Of Atlantis") research into the crashing of a huge comet or breaking-up planetoid into the earth's atmosphere 12,000 years ago (leaving the remarkable, elliptical Carolina Bay" formations along the SE U.S. coast) and catastrophically blasting the geological Atlantis to smithereens as well as rising havoc with the sea levels all around the world (and inspiring all the world-wide Universal Flood legends). Collins focuses on the Caribbean area but I have to think you cannot rule out the Amphere seamount locations as well (the Azores and Canary Islands BEG to be included in Atlantology). Collins demolishes the hokum of the "Bimini Road" area being "natural beach rock" as well and points to similar breakwater structures in the Mediterranean long pre-dating the Romans. This book is a SERIOUS antidote to the rear-guard "save the Mediterranean" paradigm as an Atlantean "explanation" (the old Thera/Santorini humbug) whereby writers like Gavin Menzies and others bend over backwards and sideways to try and "transform" the MINOANS into the "real" Atlanteans (which requires you to believe the ancient Egyptians were idiots and couldn't tell east from west or that they were CLUELESS that the Med opened into a larger outer sea). I'd find this insulting if I were an ancient Egyptian. I would also ask....pointedly....if the Atlanteans were based on the Minoans Mispercieved, why was no Minoan mythology incorporated into the Atlantean "myths". Mythology is ASSIMILATED; the Biblical Noah stories go back earlier to Sumerians and such. Why, then, is Minos not named a king of Atlantis? Why no sacrificing of captive youths to the Minotaur? Why isn't the killing of the Minotaur by Theseus not included in Atlantis mythology? I would suggest because the ancient Mediterraneans knew full well that the so-called "Minoans" and the Atlanteans were two different things altogether. That's my two cents, but Collins does a damn good job of reconstructing the past on his own. Recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More pieces for the Atlantis jigsaw puzzle. *by M***F on Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2016* A cogent argument for the Caribbean area.Certainly to have been at least part of the Atlantean empire of the Atlantic.He describes some good discoveries and the old legends and writings he brings up point in that direction.Well worth adding to your collection of Atlantis lore. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/39178555-atlantis-in-the-caribbean-and-the-comet-that-changed-world](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/39178555-atlantis-in-the-caribbean-and-the-comet-that-changed-world) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
