Aegean Legacy Of Atlantis The story of Atlantis is a mythic tale of a once mighty island empire vanquished by the sea. But what if the accounts passed down to us by the likes of Plato rest not on fantasy but on an actual civilization? Visit a candidate for the site of Atlantis on the Greek isle of Thera, where 3,000 years ago a highly advanced culture was destroyed by the most violent volcanic eruption in human history. Then sail to Crete, Turkey, and the Greek mainland on a search for evidence of the Battle of Troy with its fabled Trojan Horse, the murdered king Agamemnon, and the origins of the man eating Minotaur. It's a dazzling voyage of discovery into the origins of western culture. A voyage that takes you to the shadow zone where legend and history combine to reveal the astonishing "Legacy of Atlantis."
