                                                         The Legend Lives On






"...There occurred violent earthquakes and floods, and in a single day and night of misfortune, all your

warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the

depths of the sea. For which reason the sea in those parts is impassable and impenetrable because

there is a shoal of mud..."

— Plato

"Timaeus"






Written by Arturo F. Gonzalez
Illustrated by Penny Williams-Yaqub


These words, written centuries ago, have sent expedition after expedition chasing down the world's most fascinating and intellectual archeological detective story—what is the precise location of the lost land of Atlantis?


More than 5,000 books, and tens of thousands of magazine and newspaper articles have been written on the subject. At least one scientific party, headed 30 years ago by a certain Colonel Fawcett from Britain, went deep into the Amazon jungle in search of Atlantis and has never been heard from again.


Atlantis is a legend which dies far more slowly than the mythical country itself expired. A convention of British journalists recently ranked a verifiable re-emergence of Atlantis as one of the most important front-page stories newsmen could ever hope to write—far more compelling, in their professional opinion, than even the Second Coming of Christ. Such is the fascination of the unknown that in an era when hitting the moon with a manned expedition is a fait accompli, the thought of finding this lost land somewhere beneath the earth's endless ocean surface still captures our imagination with an intensity that few other concepts can match.
