On this quest around the world, you will discover lost kingdoms, phantom islands, and even legendary continents once sought by explorers but now believed to be mythical.
For centuries, people have dreamed of finding the lost worlds of
Atlantis,
El Dorado, and the
Seven Cities of Gold. As well as shedding light on these famously elusive places, this atlas contains
maps and
captivating illustrations to illuminate lesser-known destinations, from the
lost island of Hy-Brasil to the
desert city of Zerzura. You will learn about rich mythologies from different cultures, from the
Aztecs to the
ancient Britons, from the
Greek legends to
Japanese folklore.
Most of the places in this book have never been found, but within these pages you will succeed where the adventurers of the past were thwarted. Learn about
ancient maps,
age-old manuscripts, and
cryptic carvings that reveal clues to the whereabouts of these lost kingdoms. The journey will transport you to thoroughly other-worldly places.
