This scholarly work explores various legends, including the myth of Atlantis, and examines the ethnological and historical implications of these narratives in the context of human civilization. Wilson aims to unravel the connections between prehistoric cultures and civilizations across the globe, engaging with both ancient traditions and emerging scientific inquiries of his time. The opening of the book begins with the preface by Sybil Wilson, who reflects on her father’s (Sir Daniel Wilson’s) scholarly dedication despite his declining health. She introduces the primary focus of the study, which is the legend of Atlantis as recounted by Plato, and its subsequent interpretations and speculative theories over the centuries. The text outlines the cultural and historical significance of Atlantis, alongside a critical perspective on its mythological dimensions, suggesting that the legend may have roots in genuine ancient traditions of a lost civilization, while also acknowledging the limits of scientific validation regarding claims of tangible evidence related to Atlantis. Furthermore, Wilson sets the scene for a deeper analysis of other ethnographic subjects in the subsequent chapters, hinting at his broader explorations of ancient human migratory patterns and cultural interactions.
