Thousands of books have been written about Atlantis, Hyperborea and Thule, but rarely has a text been found that tries to solve, through rationality and logic, the great mystery of these ancient lands that have apparently disappeared. In the first section, all the classical sources have been collected, 57 authors from the well-known Plato to Hesiod, from Herodotus to Pythea, from Cicero to Virgil, from Strabo to Pliny the Elder, from Plutarch to Tacitus, from Ptolemy to Tertullian, all who have provided some indications, traditions, myths, legends, on the mysterious islands.

Thousands of books have been written about Atlantis, Hyperborea and Thule, but rarely has a text been found that tries to solve, through rationality and logic, the great mystery of these ancient lands that have apparently disappeared. In the first section, all the classical sources have been collected, 57 authors from the well-known Plato to Hesiod, from Herodotus to Pythea, from Cicero to Virgil, from Strabo to Pliny the Elder, from Plutarch to Tacitus, from Ptolemy to Tertullian, all who have provided some indications, traditions, myths, legends, on the mysterious islands. In the second part, the most recent sources were collected, from Petrarch, who went in search of Thule, to Bacon, up to Julius Evola and René Guenon and others. In the third part we have briefly analyzed all the hypotheses that have been advanced over the centuries in the hope of identifying Atlantis, Thule and Hyperborea, and we have compared them with what has been deduced from travels, from the information provided by the sources, from the astronomical analyses of scientists such as Jean Bailly and others, so that we have, reasonably, identified the three islands. In the fourth part we set out our hypothesis on who populated them, why they abandoned them and where they went next, with all their epic epic of travels and wars. So we are reasonably certain that we have shed light on a mystery, which was not a mystery, that lasted centuries and centuries.
