What if Atlantis is closer than we think?

It was more than 2,000 years ago that Plato laid down a number of cryptic clues concerning the location of Atlantis, and since then countless experts have tried to crack his code. Some claim Atlantis lies under the volcanic rocks of Santorini. Others place it in the Bermuda Triangle or off the coast of Africa.

After a forensic, twenty-year examination of Plato's writings Peter Daughtrey says we can find Atlantis. Previous attempts have barely matched six of Plato's clues, whereas he matches an unprecedented sixty. Daughtrey also outlines the full reach of the Atlantis Empire - and even pinpoints the exact location of its once glittering capital city.

His quest for the truth about Atlantis runs from the dusty stone quarries of Portugal and the hieroglyphs of Egyptian temples to the newly refurbished museums of Baghdad. It includes the discovery of long-forgotten vitally significant artefacts, sensational evidence of a lost alphabet and a revealing analysis that identifies today's descendants of this most ancient civilization.

Detailed, accurate and told with enthusiasm and verve, Atlantis and the Silver City even reveals the location of another city from the ancient empire of Atlantis.

From his teenage years Peter Daughtrey had a deep conviction that mankind's civilized history was much older than officially acknowledged and spent much time badgering his local library for books on the subject. Retirement from his publishing business has finally allowed Peter to return to that teenage passion, giving him time at last to collate his previous twenty-years' worth of research into Atlantis and ancient civilizations. This book, Atlantis and the Silver City is the result.

Born in Emsworth, England. Early career in advertising agencies in London, culminating as a Group Publicity Manager with Unilever at the tender age of twenty-five. For the next fourty-five years he was a self-employed entrepeneur. Lived in Anglesey for twenty years where, with his wife, he built up a significant retail furnishing and interior design group. Then thirty years in Southern Portugal's Algarve region creating the area's largest publisher after completing turn-around jobs for two newspapers. All the while indulging a passionate interest in ancient civilisations. Whilst living in the Algarve he realised that the area bore an astonishing similarity with Plato's comprehensive description of famed Atlantis. After very close analysis of Plato's text he isolated sixty clues that could reasonably help identify it's exact whereabouts. Many years of diligent research on site confirmed that they all matched the region from Gibraltar to the south west tip of Portugal, including a very large submerged plain to the south as well as north west Morocco. All other suggested sites barely match six, such as Santorini. The clues even pin-pointed the site of the small glittering capitol. Plato's description was so exacting there could only ever be one like it. His book, titled ""ATLANTIS and the Silver City"", was published in 2,013 in the USA and Britain. No one has disputed the evidence. Peter is arguably the worlds foremost authority on Plato's Atlantis Text as well as the various other theories swirling around it. He is currently working on a second book linking Atlantis with other submerged and forgotten civilsations all over the world. He now lives in the New Forest.
