| Summary |
Perhaps you've heard of the Lost Continent: an island called Atlantis constituting a mythical realm of the far West, sunk beneath the ocean by the gods to punish people for immorality. However, the riddle of Atlantis is among the greatest of the world's unsolved mysteries. Where, for a start, was the exact site of this huge island civilization? Early historians report that this strange land vanished from the earth in a day and a night, yet scholars, archaeologists, historians, and occultists have kept up an almost ceaseless search for its precise whereabouts. Did this mythical island - bigger than Asia and North Africa combined - ever exist at all? |
