Will
he find the Empire?
Long
ago, in the murky depths of time there was a flourishing,
advanced society. Then almost over night in a cataclysm
that was of their own making, that civilisation vanished
from the face of the Earth.

Leaving
but a name; Atlantis and a myth.
Throughout
the ages there have been legends and rumours of this strange
land and its inhabitants. Yet only one person over time has
managed to visit this fabled land and return to tell his tale.
Aziz the shepherd and his Journal, written after his imprisonment
as a madman. For centuries scholars tried to decipher the strange
script and unlock any secrets that were to be found.
The Journal,
passed from owner to owner until it reached the holy island
of Lindisfarne in the hands of a Turkish adventurer. Here the
original scroll was reassembled into an illuminated, bound manuscript
by the monks of the island.
A few centuries later once more the journal was lost, after
a Viking expedition to locate Atlantis was wrecked upon the
Atlantic. Ultimately it fell into the hands of the Mayans and
spurred their architects, from images contained, to build their
greatest cities.
Passing through
such hands as Leonardo Da Vinci, who drew inspiration from the
marvels listed within, the dark ages started to see shafts of
light.
Others to hold the book included the Borgias, the Medici's,
Pope Sextus V and Sir Christopher Wren. Ultimately the noted
American linguist, Thaddeus Thatch was given the book to study
by industrialist Preston Whitmore.
Now after
years of ridicule. Milo Thatch, Thaddeus' grandson has now been
invited to join an expedition, funded by Preston Whitmore his
grandfathers old friend.
Accompanied by Commander Rourke, Helga, 'Cookie' and series
of experts, Milo must use his cartography skills and his talent
for languages to unlock the one path that will take him through
danger and peril and ultimately to Atlantis: The Lost Empire.
