About this ebook
Was Atlantis real? Why did the great Maya cities fall silent? Did Rome really "fall," or did it just transform? This deep dive separates genuine archaeological evidence from centuries of exaggeration and pseudoscience — tracing Atlantis back to its sole ancient source in Plato, following the still-debated Classic Maya collapse (while correcting the myth that the Maya ever disappeared — millions of their descendants live today), and unpacking Rome's complex, centuries-long transformation through its Byzantine continuation. A bonus section extends the same rigorous approach to Rapa Nui, the Indus Valley, Angkor, Great Zimbabwe, the Nazca Lines, Machu Picchu, and the Aztec Empire. Packed with a timeline, glossary, and a practical checklist for spotting pseudohistory, this is popular history done right: the real story, it turns out, is more fascinating than the myth.
