From the hidden valleys of Tibet and the stunning¹ pyramids of Mexico to the icy waste of the Antarctic and the deepest ocean trenches², our search for Atlantis will take us all across the world to seek out ancient clues of a civilization that perished before history had even begun, an object of endless fascination³ and relentless⁴ obsession⁵. It is a quest through time and space, to pivotal moments in human history, as well as the dark side of man's longing⁶ for perfection. The myth of Atlantis has cast its spell over generations, each trying to find its own unique vision of this lost idyllic⁷ paradise.

Our journey will take us across oceans and continents and span ten thousand years of human history, a journey to find a magical lost world.

The search for Atlantis has captivated some of the most restless minds and original thinkers of every generation. It is a search that begins here, in the most glorious city of ancient Greece, Athens. In the 4th century B.C., Athens was a city preeminent⁸ in all the world, the very epicenter of classical civilization and a beacon⁹ of cultural and artistic¹⁰ excellence¹¹ that had shone through the ages right down to the present day. And it was here in the world's first democracy, that philosopher Plato wrote the story, three and a half centuries before the time of Christ. That is the first account of Atlantis in all literature.
