"The author's
research is bound to have the same impact on the academic world as
Schliemann's did a century ago. It will set an entire generation of
archaeologists to reexamining their reconstruction of the early Aegean
world."
Professor Dr. Curtis Runnels, Boston
"An excellent and impressive piece of scholarship, and a crafty
bit of archaeological detective work to boot!"
Dr. Bernard Knapp, Edinburgh
"Exceptionally well informed and readable, as well as exceptionally
balanced."
Professor Dr. Anthony Snodgrass, Cambridge
"This is an ingenious and stimulating hypothesis. The author's
suggestion that Atlantis is Troy is entirely plausible."
Professor Christopher Mee, Liverpool
"Aside from being novel, Zangger's analysis of the Atlantis legend
is comprehensive, up-to-date and just plain enjoyable to read. More
important than a new 'when?' and 'where?' for Atlantis is his insistence
on a holistic approach to the available evidence. What comes across
clearly throughout is sheer intellectual enthusiasm, the fun he is
having as an historian of both nature and culture in attacking a well-known
but notoriously intractable problem."
Professor Jeremy Rutter, Dartmouth College
"This book is well written... Perfectly sane and well-argued,
written by a competent scholar."
Nature (Professor Lord Colin Renfrew, Cambridge)
"Zangger's archaeological reasoning may make his colleagues think
again about the relationship between myth, legend, history, and the
interpretation of what can be dug up from the soil."
The Times (Professor Norman Hammond, Boston)
"Zangger has brought to Bronze Age Aegean archaeology the natural
science concept of a unified field theory."
Journal of Field Archaeology (Professor Daniel Pullen, Talahassee)
"Zangger has the narrative skill of a good mystery writer and
the ability to evoke what it was like to be in certain places at certain
times, whether in a congested square in Athens or a hill settlement
of the Ice Age."
New York Newsday (Professor Mary Lefkowitz, Wellesley College)
"Zangger has, I believe, done Mediterranean prehistory an enormous
service by drawing attention to the potential significance of western
Anatolia in the final international phases of the Bronze Age. His
comprehensive reconstruction of events is ambitious, imaginative,
and provocative. And it is always explicit, engaging, and intellectually
stimulating. In reading it, one cannot help but think of dozens of
avenues that would warrant further investigation."
