註釋A unique and topical feature of the Carnot USA list is a collection of titles that deal with the puzzling, often enigmatic events of our world. Titled Orbis Enigma, the series is designed to advance the level of human understanding on an array of topics, many of which have not yet been fully explored. Whether it is in the realm of politics, religion, science, or metaphysics, this new line of books crosses boundaries and broadens the scope of examination, offering alternative approaches to awareness and ultimately, to enlightenment. Looking for the key in Plato's original dialogues, amateur archaeologist, Jacques Hebert, undertook a rigorous investigation into the mystery of Atlantis. After ten years spent studying these documents and the related literature. Hebert has good reason to believe he has found the true location of the mysterious continent. The author's unique contribution to the field is the result of his professional training, in strangely enough, police work. Using the skills that a distinguished career as a detective have honed, he has taken a new approach to the clues, discarding some and rearranging the others. The conclusion he reached is that Plato's words were badly misinterpreted, and his designation for the location of Atlantis seriously misconstrued. While many writers have claimed to have the real answer to the Atlantis mystery, none has been able to provide such a plausible explanation of what actually became of the Atlantis civilization. Compared to previous theories, moreover, Hebert's is the first that is in complete harmony with Plato's writings, up to and including descriptions of the vegetation. His findings are illustrated with 10 maps, a colorful 8-pageinsert, and dozens of additional illustrations. With the results thus validated Hebert's work calls into question some fundamental historical concepts.
