It was disappointing. If you would really like a detailed story about Atlantis and an idea of this mystery island then this is not the right book. Very interesting indeed, except the authors filled this book with lots of facts and history about the ancient greeks, egyptians and other ancient cultures but hardly anything "real" about Atlantis. It was more a chaotic read about different ancient cultures which maybe could have been related with the origin of Atlantis. It doesn't provide a nice structure in it's chapters which makes it difficult to get an overview what is know about Atlantis or the idea's of it's location or the people who origined there. I was hoping that this book would function as a good summary of everything we know so far about Atlantis from ancient cultures, writers but also for more modern day science and that you would get a clear view of the different theories about it. Too bad this isn't really. I think maybe just a quarter of the book is actually about Atlantis, or theories about it, and the rest is filled with information about people and cultures who've mentioned Atlantis or maybe someting simular.
