Over two thousand years after Plato mentioned the lost city of Atlantis, three Canadians from Alberta are part of a team that may have found the ruins of this city. Scholars have for years believed Plato had invented the mythic kingdom which he claimed had been swallowed up by the sea. What a coincidence that the team’s discovery comes at the same time the world is watching in horror as Japan suffers the devastating impact of a tsunami twenty-four hundred years after a similar fate may have occurred in Atlantis. The three Canadian scientists specialize in imaging buried ruins. Their imaging has turned up items far buried deep and from any other known ancient settlement. As well, they have found artifacts farther north in Spain where, if there truly was an Atlantis and it was overrun by water, survivors could have relocated. There they have found intriguing art which appears to be a memorial. Could this art be commemorating a lost city? Hopefully, we will soon know more about the lost city of Atlantis and a very old mystery will be solved. Solving an ancient mystery and learning more about our history . . . it’s a good thing!
