It was March 2021 when my book in English "Atletenu" was published for the first time.
More than four years have passed and after much research and study I have completed a new edition of the book, richer and more in-depth with some important news, the new edition is currently available only in Italian with the title "Gli Atletenu di Avaris", it can be found on amazon.it in paperback and Kindle eBook format.
In the coming months this new edition will also be available in English as soon as the complex translation work is completed. Gli Atletenu di Avaris is an exciting journey through archaeology, ancient history and myth. Starting from the most recent archaeological discoveries in the Egyptian city of Avaris (today's Tell el-Dab'a), the book proposes a bold and surprising hypothesis: that Avaris may have inspired the myth of Atlantis described by Plato. Through the analysis of ancient texts, Egyptian sources, geological data and historical comparisons, the reader will be guided in a research that intertwines: the civilization of the Hyksos and their mysterious origin, the military campaigns of the pharaohs of the New Kingdom, the similarities between the Platonic description of Atlantis and the real topography of Avaris. The volume is aimed at all enthusiasts of ancient history, Egyptology, mythology and biblical archaeology, offering a rigorous narrative, but also accessible to non-specialists. In this blog you will find in-depth articles, curiosities and background information related to the genesis of the book and the studies that inspired it. Follow me to discover the mysteries of Avaris and the possible link between real history and lost myth.
I will inform you here when the new edition in English will be ready!
