{"product_id":"9780863156977","title":"Atlantis: Lost Kingdom of the Andes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe story of Atlantis is one of the great puzzles of ancient times: a great city which, according to the Greek philosopher Plato, sank into the sea in the space of a single day and night. Until now, no one has been able to pinpoint the location of Atlantis, nor prove whether it even existed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this groundbreaking study Jim Allen presents the first rigorously explored 'Atlantis theory'. He documents a site in the high Altiplano of the Bolivian Andes that matches Plato's description of the fabled land, as well as the local legend of a city sunk by earthquakes. Lavishly illustrated with satellite mapping, historical drawings and photographs from his own research in the field, Jim Allen concludes that the lost kingdom of Atlantis was an ancient civilization on the continent we now know as South America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter serving with the Royal Air Force, Jim Allen used his expertise in mapping and aerial intelligence to identify the location of the site of Atlantis. His research was the subject of a Discovery Channel documentary and earned him an honorary doctorate from Oruro Technical University in Bolivia. He lives in Cambridge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Floris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022373404912,"sku":"9780863156977","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780863156977_p0.jpg?v=1763836339","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780863156977","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
