Sketch of wall found by spear fisherman on sea bottom off Morocco. A combination of large blocks and boulders, it is roughly estimated to run along the sea bottom for nine miles.

citadel at several hundred feet, from which other roads and pathways proceeded downward to even greater depths.

In the Americas we find a wide continental shelf extending from Newfoundland to Nova Scotia, where it is hundreds of miles wide, and then again from hundreds of miles east of Cape Cod all the way down to Florida, narrowing to an average of 90 to 100 miles out to sea, all well under the approximate 600 foot depth of a lower water level in glacial times. This underwater area, presumably once dry land, becomes greater through the Bahamas, off Yucatan and Central America and then again off the northern coast of South America, narrows in Brazil and extends hundreds of miles out from Rio de Janeiro southward.

The Atlantic Ocean is divided in the middle by a mountainous ridge or a series of mountain chains which run from Iceland down to the northeastern part of South America, then follows it east almost to Africa and continues due south. In the region of north latitude 38° west longitude 37(degrees) to 30°, on a more or less direct line from Lisbon, some of these mountain peaks break the surface of the Atlantic and become the Azores Islands, rising from the underwater Azores Plateau One of the Azores Islands, Pico, is a huge mountain 24,000 feet high, of which 16,400 are underwater and another 7600 feet continue above sea level. (The precipitous peak of Pico reminds one of Plato’s description of the great central mountain of the main island of Atlantis rising over the fertile Atlantean plain.)

For the last ninety years, there has been a tremendous resurgence of interest in the possibility of Atlantis having actually existed partially revived by thousands of books written on the subject, including the best-seller written by Ignatius Donnelly in 1882, Atlantis—Myths of the Antediluvian World, and still published in an edition updated by the United Kingdom’s leading Atlantologist, Edgarton Sykes.
