The ancisnts lost one, at least they said they did.

they placed It outside the Pillars Of Hercules which
call the Straits Of Glbralter They wrote marvelousy Of
its magnificent cities and of It's sze-it larger than

Recently French scientist Pierre Termier asserted
that what we have always called myth is probably gen.

1tseems that map Of the floor OF the Atlantic ocean
would correspond surprisingly with ancient de-
scriptions OF the geography Of the lost Atlantis.

ataclysms have occurred may again at any mo-
