An in-depth investigation of the mounting evidence that Atlantis was located in the Bahamas and Caribbean, near Cuba in particular Explains how Atlantis was destroyed by a comet, the same comet that formed the mysterious Carolina Bays Reveals evidence of complex urban ruins off the coasts of Cuba and the Bahamas Shows how pre-Columbian mariners visited the Caribbean and brought back stories of Atlantiss destruction Compares Platos account with ancient legends from the indigenous people of North and South America, such as the Maya, the Quich, and the Yuchi of OklahomaThe legend of Atlantis is one of the most intriguing mysteries of all time. Disproving many well-known Atlantis theories and providing a new hypothesis, the evidence for which continues to build, Andrew Collins shows that what Plato recounts is the memory of a major cataclysm at the end of the last Ice Age 13,000 years ago, when a comet devastated the island of Cuba and submerged part of the Bahaman landmass in the Caribbean. He parallels Platos account with corroborating ancient myths and legends from the indigenous people of North and South America, such as the Maya of Mesoamerica, the Quich of Peru, the Yuchi of Oklahoma, the islanders of the Antilles, and the native peoples of Brazil. The author explains how the comet that destroyed Atlantis in the Caribbean was the same comet that formed the mysterious and numerous elliptical depressions, known as the Carolina Bays, found across the mid-Atlantic United States. He reveals evidence of sunken ruins off the coasts of both Cuba and the Bahamas, ancient complexes spanning more than 10 acres that clearly suggest urban development and meticulously planned road systems.Revealing the identity of Platos opposite continent as ancient America, Collins argues that Platos story was first carried back to the Mediterranean world by trans-Atlantic mariners, such as the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, as early as the first millennium BC. He offers additional ancient trans-Atlantis trade evidence from Egyptian mummies, Roman shipwrecks in the Western Atlantic, and the African features of giant stone heads in Mexico. Piecing together the final days of Atlantis and the wildfires, earthquakes, tsunamis, days of darkness, and advancement of ice sheets that followed the ancient comets impact, Collins establishes not only that Atlantis did indeed exist but also that remnants of it survive today, most obviously in Cuba, Atlantiss original central island.

For Han Kloosterman,
who found undeniable proof of the cataclysm
that destroyed Atlantis,
and
Graham Phillips,
for encouraging me to go through the
gateway to Atlantis

ATLANTIS
IN THE CARIBBEAN

Collins produces a tantalizing pattern of oral and written evidence that Atlantis not only existed but probably was destroyed by a comet some 13,000 years ago.

BOSTON HERALD

Collins proves an engaging conductor of an exegetical tour of Platos writings about a civilization in the Western Ocean that vanished when a natural catastrophe befell its homeland. His book [will] enamor imaginations sparked by the legend of lost Atlantis.

BOOKLIST

A bold and imaginative attempt to understand the destruction of the legendary city of Atlantis, the creation of Mesoamerican civilization, and the end of the last Ice Age.

KIRKUS REVIEWS

Praise for Previous Works by Andrew Collins

Gbekli Tepe: Genesis of the Gods by Andrew Collins is a comprehensive interpretation of the oldest advanced temple complex on Earth. World-renowned for his explorations of the prehistoric Middle East, Collins weaves together archaeological, anthropological, astronomical, and spiritual aspects of Gbekli Tepe. This clear and correct interpretation of Gbekli Tepe offers even more! He draws our minds back 17,000 years to the Solutrean phase to describe human cultural development before the cultural regression. Gbekli Tepe awakens ancient memory to process deeply hidden trauma from the past because it is a faithful and accurate depiction of the Paleolithic advanced culture. A must-read for anybody who wants to know the real story before history began.

BARBARA HAND CLOW, AUTHOR OF AWAKENING THE PLANETARY MIND: BEYOND THE TRAUMA OF THE PAST TO A NEW ERA OF CREATIVITY [PREVIOUSLY RELEASED AS CATASTROPHOBIA: THE TRUTH BEHIND EARTH CHANGES]

Andrew Collinss From the Ashes of Angels is one of those books that comes along only once or twice a decade. Suddenly a whole new realm is opened up to us as we are invited on a hunt for our lost origins led by a voice that speaks clearly and forcefully. It is the kind of book that you can read and then read again and again and each time you will be rewarded. Andrew Collins is one of the key thinkers of a whole new generation of writers that have decided that the human past is much more interesting than we have all been led to believe.

RAND FLEM-ATH, COAUTHOR OF ATLANTIS BENEATH THE ICE

Keenly sensing the challenge of what remains to be learned, Collins does not visit old ruts. Time and time again, he reaches beyond the known and pushes the envelope of inquiry, as is seen in Gods of Eden. The perspectives he is developing can contribute crucially to our common task of direction-finding in the uncertain future.

PREFACE TO THE NEW EDITION

CLUE TO THE GREAT CATASTROPHE

T he date is September 29, 2014. It is beginning to rain as I cross a sparse, sandy wasteland under threat of commercial development. I am in Lommel, Belgium, close to the border with the Netherlands. With me is a TV camera crew, a local archaeologist, and an elderly gentleman in his eighties. He is wheelchair bound, partially deaf, and can barely speak due to the scars left behind by throat cancer twenty years earlier. Yet Johan (Han) Kloosterman, a Dutch geologist and mineralogist, has no intention of giving up on life any time soon. He is one of the worlds acknowledged experts on what has become known as the Younger Dryas Boundary impact event, which, as we shall see, now becomes the most likely mechanism behind the destruction of Atlantis. His sheer determination to continue to learn, and deliver his findings to those who will listen, makes him one of the most inspirational people I am ever likely to meet in my life.

The Younger Dryas impact event is thought to have occurred approximately 12,800 years ago. At this time, scientists now believe, a comet appeared in the night sky, most likely entering the firmament somewhere in the vicinity of the Pleiades constellation (see chapter 20). After passing through the inner solar system this heavenly harbinger most likely entered perihelion, its close approach to the sun. All the indications are that, like Icarus in Greek mythology, it came too close to the solar orb. This caused its breakup into a freight train of fragments, some as much as a kilometer in size. These fiery projectiles, some of them hundreds of times more powerful than the largest nuclear bomb ever detonated, were sent on a collision course with the Earth.

Here, on the surface of the planet, the Upper Paleolithic populations in the American Northwest would have had a rude awakening that day, as multiple fragments of the comet entered into low orbit. Contact with the atmosphere would have caused these intensely bright fireballs to break up still further, many splitting apart and exploding as terrifying air blasts even before they reached the ground.

The result of this torrent of impacts, which carved a path of destruction across the North American continent, and beyond as far as the Atlantic Ocean and Eurasian landmass, would have triggered uncontrollable wildfires consuming everything in their path in a mass conflagration. As the fires raged, great volumes of toxic smoke and burned debris would have risen into the upper atmosphere, very rapidly creating a thick black layer, blotting out the sun and moon for an extended period of time. How long exactly, no one knows.

Some large fragments of the comet crashed into the North American ice sheets, instantly vaporizing the water locked within. This resulted in torrential rain full of toxic chemicals that would have continued for weeks on end, flooding many areas of the planet. In addition to this, torrents of water freed up from the ice sheets would have torn through the hills and valleys, consuming everything in their path and changing the face of the landscape forever. The final outpouring of this melt water into the oceans would have risen the sea level almost immediately, drowning low-lying regions of the planet in just a matter of weeks.
