cataclysms have occurred and may
again occur at any moment.
ogy teach us the possibility, even
probability, of there once having been
an Atlantis, but zoology shows a GER
tain continental origin of the present

islands which still remains, as well
as the strange relationship and re
appearance OF certain marine animals

Termier believes that Atlantis exist

that cataclysm, not unlike that mem

now remains for ethnography, an
thropology and oceanography to
solve the problem as to whether men
lived at this time who could with
stand the great reaction and transmit
the memory OF it. Nowadays even
the most modern sciences permit our
belief in Plato's legend, and lead US
to look further into the great Atlantic
abyss for our lost continent.
