Summary: Atlantis in front of Gibraltar, between Iberia and Morocco..
Comment: Atlantis in front of Gibraltar, between Iberia and Morocco..
The only possible location.
The book of Mr. Collins are interesting, but it is not but who another one of so many books written on Atlantis that leave from absurd hypotheses based on the absolute ignorance of true texts of Plato written in Greek and in Latin. If Mr. Collins and all those that try to locate Atlantis in America or other most remote places of the world had studied the Timaeus and the Critias de Plato from the oldest versions known written in Greek and Latin, they had never been able to raise nor to defend its hypotheses, since the simple reading of texts of Plato and the commentaries made by other old authors demonstrates that the island or peninsula of Atlantis was closely together of Gibraltar, Iberia and Morocco.
Nevertheless, made the most serious and rigorous study on the Atlantis island demonstrates that of to have existed Atlantis, single it could be located in front of the Gibraltar Strait, between the Gadeira region (Cadiz, Andalusia) and the region of the Atlas (Morocco). This theory is defended by the Hispano-American investigating scholar Georgeos Diaz-Montexano. Their investigations have been based on direct translations of texts written in Greek and Latin of the Plat'o Timaeus and Critias dialogues. Diaz-Montexano has made the first metaphrastical translations of the Plat'o texts and has demonstrated the existence of great errors of translation and interpretation of the true words written in the Plat'o texts. These errors have been the main cause which the experts and scientists have doubted the historical existence of Atlantis and also of which many investigators and writers have looked for the island or peninsula of Atlantis until in the most remote and impossible places. Recently Georgeos Diaz has directed to one scientist expedition to the area of the Gibraltar Strait and the Atlantic Gulf (Golfo de Cádiz) and has reported to UNESCO [...] the findings of several archaeological deposits under-sea where ruins of walls or buildings are obervan, very strange rest of metal factories of smelting as ingots, dregs and crucibles and strangers architectonic elements, most of the archaeological evidences have been found between the -10 and the -40 meters of depth and in the same area in which according to Plato it was the city main of Atlantis and the kingdom of the Gadeiros, the twin Atlas brother.

Summary: At last, a down to earth Atlantean theory!
Comment: Its nice to finally read something about Atlantis which doesn't rely on ancient astronauts or mystical crystals! Andrew Collins believes that Atlantis was located in the West Indies and related islands, basing his theory not on shadowy ideas about ruins under the ocean but on realistic measurements of travel times, directions, and other clues found in Plato and other ancients who mentioned a lost civilization to the west. While this book won't do much for the von Daniken crowd, it will certainly please those who can distinguish fact from mysticism!
