Many theories have grown up regarding its precise location. The author of this text believes that he has solved the mystery of Atlantis and has located a site in what is now modern Bolivia, on the Altiplano where he has found the remains of the canal system described by Plato. Furthermore the city was set on a lake and plated in gold, silver, bronze, tin and a metal called "orichalcum" - all these metals are only found together in great profusion in Bolivia. Archaeological finds such as the Cocaine Mummies of Egypt have also strengthened the idea that old links existed between South America and Egypt. Zdroj anotace: Web obalkyknih.czLoading…
