Books by J.M. Allen
Book1, Atlantis:The Andes Solution first published by Windrush Press in 1998 set out the theory that Plato´s description of Atlantis was based upon a description of South America, the "Atlantic Island larger than Libya and Asia together" and that the part which sank into the sea was a small volcanic island which existed on a rectangular plain which Plato said was midway along the longest side of the "Whole Island", surrounded by high mountains and high above ocean sea level, a perfect description of the Bolivian Altiplano. Since an island continent cannot sink into the sea in the space of a single day and night such as Plato described, the theory was that it was not the island continent, but the island capital, a small island with the same name "Atlantis" that sank into the sea.
Book 2 The Atlantis Trail describes the author´s various expeditions around the Altiplano looking for a ruined volcanic island with concentric rings of land and of water located in the centre of a level rectangular plain which is how Plato described the island capital. This was eventually found near a village called Pampa Aullagas now on the southern shore of the inland sea called lake Poopó.
Book 3 Atlantis: Lost Kingdom of the Andes describes his visits to the Atlantis mountain, cerro Pedro Santos Villca by the side of the village of Pampa Aullagas, exploring the circular configuration and looking for any cut stones that might confirm the existence of a previous city there.
Book 4 Atlantis and the Persian Empire compares Plato´s description of the ringed city of Atlantis with various ringed capital cities which existed in ancient Persia, and also how Plato´s description of the war between Atlantis and the Greeks could have been based upon the Persian invasion and destruction of Athens, where the Greeks emerged victorious "With Athens at its head":
Book 5 Atlantis: the Lost Expedition describes a 2004 expedition by some boys from Oruro to the Atlantis mountain, finding various stones which appeared to have been cut in ancient times but whose findings were rejected by the authorities. It also includes a report of how the author visited the site in 2024 and witnessed two large stone blocks dug up by a local villager then some time afterwards a report from Bolivia where the author´s assistant found large stone blocks which had been removed from the mountain 300 years previously to provide the foundations of a nearby church and another site with "dragged stones" i.e. stones in the desert said to have been dragged there by a great force of water. Remember, Plato said the island was destroyed by "Earthquakes and floods" and we can also see from Google Earth that the site has been sunk and destroyed by earthquakes as well as floods with landslides etc.
The Andes Solution and location is the only location which actually matches Plato´s description and once you understand the geographic location many of the previously difficult
to understand points become perfectly clear, "Atl" means "water" and "Antis" means "copper" in the original native languages, AtlAntis was in
the Antis mountains, now changed to Andes mountains ...so begin your own investigation now!

1. "Atlantis: the Andes Solution"
The original theory of Atlantis on the Altiplano in Bolivia, first published in 1998
now available from Amazon
Review from one independent reader on the Amazon page: by "wjackm".
5.0 out of 5 stars … A great investigation and a solid conclusion based on available data.
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2008.
"This book was exceptional. I have been an Atlantis investigator for 45 years and this is the closest theory to where Atlantis actually was that I have ever read.
Read this book and then do some follow up research on Timeas and Criteas and study more about South America,
and it becomes obvious that Allen has the best theory on record about Atlantis. I have read many books on the subject since my original reading
and this book still stands as the best theory available today. Many alternative theories are primarily propaganda campaigns to encourage tourism.
This book is definitly not propaganda and is well supported with plenty of data that suggests that the Jim's theory is correct.

Review from one independent reader on the Amazon page: by "Margaret Fox".
5.0 out of 5 stars, Well written and unpretentious, and convincing. I am a little surprised the press have not made more of this interesting explanation
of where Atlantis once was and where it can be found today. I did see an interesting tv programme on the question many years ago featuring this author's
findings. Then, as now, what caught my interest in particular is the author's statement that the word "Atl" was the Aztec word for "water" and "antis" the
inca word for "copper". What could have more relevence to Atlantic than that?
4. "Atlantis and the Persian Empire"
Rationalises Plato's story into two parts, first the geographic description which belongs to South America,
the Andes and the Altiplano, and secondly, the description of the war which seems to be based upon a period beginning
with the Greek attacks on Troy and ending
with the defeat of the Persians following on from their defeat by the Greeks at the Battle of Salamis.
