Solon one of the Seven Fages of Greece a celebrated lawmaker, Poet and Statesman travelled the world in search of a blueprint for perfect state.

Whilst he was in Egypt studying beside the sacred priests of the deity Neith at Sais he was informed of the ancient history of Athens and the ancient lost superpower and island empire called Atlantis.

Solon was shocked by the history the priests relayed from their ancient Library archives within the temple grounds of the deity Neith but he listened mesmerized by the details of the island empire of Atlantis.

He continued his travels but recorded the details of Atlantis and when he returned to Athens he incorporated in his own works the accounts of the ancient island empire of Atlantis.

An old friend of Solon's retained the works a man called Dropides who was an ancestor of Plato and handed the works down to Plato.

Atlantis through the words, works and influence of Plato was delivered to the wider world and the once forgotten ancient island empire Atlantis was reanimated and today it still inspires and intrigues people around the world.

K.T. Frost was among the first scholars to associate the island empire of Atlantis with the Minoan world centred on Crete.

His work titled The Lost Continent was published in the London Times on Feb 19th, 1909 an inspired article that drew on the excavations on Crete by Archaeologists on many ancient sites on Crete such as Sir Arthur Evans discoveries on the Knossos

site.

Atlantis by its association with the Minoan world was when later discoveries were uncovered by archaeologists on nearby Santorini back in the news again.

Archaeology and now Science and technology along with many scholars and historians began to associate the Theran eruption event with the Minoan and Atlantis island empires.

Ancient lost island empires ruled by seafaring peoples who controlled the high seas of the ancient world by their superior technology in navigation and shipbuilding.

Path analysis has become a very popular approach to the study of settlement and land-use dynamics in landscape archaeology. This volume addresses theoretical, technical and interpretative issues and presents case studies. A final synthetic paper aims to review the contents and to set the pace for the current methodological debate.

This book, consisting of 12 contributions, unites the most recent results from archaeological research in the Upper Mesopotamian piedmont. Under the growing influence of expanding territorial states, which were established during the 2nd millennium BCE, this region experienced a substantial change in social and political life during that time. The discussion is centered on settlement shapes, developments in material culture, as well as written documents that attest to this change. In summary, this book emphasizes the significant role of archaeological research in the reconstruction of models concerning the formation and transformation of political spaces in the ancient world.
