As a major figure in the development of Western thought, Plato, with his philosophies and writings, has been referred to in the development of democracy and good government. Yet, he is responsible for one of the most divisive and hotly debated stories in history. Even his student, Aristotle, did not believe it to be true. Plato's story had a great deal of influence on the New Age Movement from the end of the nineteenth century, when the mythological motifs and dreams of an ideal society found a home in Atlantis. Unfortunately, the new versions of the story that arose from this era were based on false history and pseudo science. Academics tried to force Atlantis back into the Mediterranean with its familiar ancient sites, suggesting that Plato relied heavily on metaphor and fiction, despite his insistence that the story was true.The subject is still a hotly debated one because it has never been satisfactorily resolved. Starting with Plato's original story, The Unlost Island unravels the myths and legends, the misinterpretations and fallacies that have plagued the Atlantis story since it was written more than 2000 years ago.
