The Empires of Atlantis

The Empires of Atlantis establishes the historical and geological reality of Atlantis and reveals its continuing influence around the world.

It traces the course of Atlantean civilization through its three empires, as well as the colonies and outposts formed by its survivors in Egypt, Göbekli Tepe, India, Mesopotamia, the Mediterranean, and North and South America. The book shows how pyramids and other megalithic monuments testify to the survival of a “Sacred Science” of Atlantean origin and how this Sacred Science provided the foundation for esoteric traditions and secret societies throughout the ages.

Drawing on more than 500 ancient and modern sources and the author's own personal exploration of hundreds of archaeological sites, Vigato explores more than 100,000 years of Earth’s history. He combines recent discoveries in the fields of archaeology, geology, anthropology, and genetics with the mystery teachings of antiquity to investigate the true origins of civilization. Establishing the historical and geological reality of Atlantis stretching back to 432,000 BCE, he traces the course of Atlantean civilization through its three empires, revealing how civilization rose and fell several times over this lengthy span of time.

The author shows that Atlantis did not vanish “in one terrible day and night” but survived in various forms well into the historical era. He reveals that the first Atlantean civilization lasted from 432,000 to 35,335 BCE, the second from 21,142 to 10,961 BCE, and the third—celebrated by Plato—collapsed in 9600 BCE after the Younger Dryas cataclysm. The book examines the role of Atlantean survivors in restarting civilization in different parts of the world, from Göbekli Tepe and Egypt to India, Mesopotamia, and the Americas. Vigato personally documents their colonies and outposts around the globe, offering unique views of the colossal network of pyramids, earthen mounds, and other megalithic monuments they left behind. He shows how these monuments testify to the survival of a sacred science of Atlantean origin and documents the survival of the primeval Atlantean tradition through various secret societies into the modern era.

Sharing never-before-seen photographs from his own personal exploration, Vigato shows not only that Atlantis was real but that the whole world is now being called to become a New Atlantis and awaken into a new golden age.
