Across the millennia, one name has refused to sink beneath the waves of time - Atlantis.

Across the millennia, one name has refused to sink beneath the waves of time - Atlantis. From the moment Plato described its shining temples and its sudden destruction, the lost island has haunted the imagination of humanity. Was it myth or memory, allegory or eyewitness account? For two thousand years, philosophers, explorers, and scholars have wrestled with that question, chasing its shadow across oceans, through ruins, and into the deepest archives of the human mind. Atlantis: A Forgotten Civilization journeys beyond the myth to uncover the story behind the story - tracing the legend from the ancient world to the dawn of modern science. Drawing on the dialogues of Plato, the anthropological insights of William Spence, and the evolution of geological and archaeological thought, it follows the long struggle to understand how civilizations remember catastrophe and how myths preserve fragments of real history. From the flood myths of Egypt and Mesopotamia to the submerged landscapes of Ice Age Europe, the search for Atlantis becomes a mirror of our own forgotten past. Blending rigorous scholarship with lyrical storytelling, this book explores the enduring power of a single idea: that somewhere, in the deep record of the earth and the deeper memory of mankind, lies the trace of a world erased - a civilization that fell not only into the sea but into silence. Through the lens of philosophy, anthropology, and myth, Atlantis: A Forgotten Civilization reclaims the legend as more than fantasy. It becomes the chronicle of humanity itself - our triumphs, our delusions, and our relentless quest to remember what time and tide have tried to erase.
Riddick Dawson is a historian-author whose work moves at the crossroads of archaeology, mythology, and the hidden traditions of the ancient world. With the spirit of an adventurer and the rigor of a researcher, Dawson has dedicated his career to uncovering the forgotten narratives of humanity-from the lost cities beneath desert sands to the spectral voices of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Drawing on over two decades of study, Dawson's research dives deep into the shadowy domains of the Nephilim, the Anunnaki, and the Watchers of Genesis. His writings chart the intersections between biblical texts, Mesopotamian epics, and comparative myth, revealing startling connections that challenge orthodox timelines and conventional history. In the field, Dawson has pursued evidence across sacred landscapes-temples of Egypt, megaliths of the Near East, and mountain sanctuaries whispered about in apocryphal lore. Beyond the texts and ruins, Dawson is a storyteller. His voice-part scholar, part seeker-brings these ancient enigmas to life for a modern audience hungry to ask the deeper questions: Who were the gods of old? What legacies have they left hidden in stone and scripture? And what does their memory mean for humanity today? Through books, lectures, and his distinctive narrative style, Riddick Dawson has become a leading voice for those who walk the line between history and mystery, offering a bold vision of the past that dares to include what others dismiss as myth.
