How a Civil War-Era Politician Invented Atlantis

In the late 1870s, a former congressman named Ignatius Donnelly sat down to write a book about Atlantis. His ideas went on to singlehandedly kickstart the modern obsession with Plato's mythical lost city, and inspired countless other related conspiracy theories. Today, he's regarded as the father of pseudoarchaeology. With the expert help of fellow history YouTubers ‪@HistorywithCy‬ and ‪@WorldofAntiquity‬, I explore the legend of Atlantis through the lens of Ignatius Donnelly's life and legacy. Though informed more by his own distaste with Gilded Age America than any legitimate archaeological evidence, Donnelly's feverish theories have enjoyed remarkable longevity – in fact, you've probably heard one or two of them on the History Channel.
