First sentence: startling and important archaeological discovery was recently made in the
area of our planet once known as California, when a cache of artifacts dating
from the 1960s was unearthed, relatively intact, during the building of the
transglobal tunnel. The best scholars from a score of disciplines --
including archaeology, history, languages and anthropology -- have studied
and interpreted these artifacts and have mounted an exhibition that will open
at the Metroplex Museum of Art next year. Never has so great a body of
information been available about a time and culture of which we have
previously known so little.
Description: Not since the discovery of the crypt of Tutankhamen has the world been so astonished by a treasure trove of a lost culture. Dubbed the "Aquarians" by the archeologists who made the discovery on the outskirts of the ancient ruins of the City Of San Francisco, the dig has unearthed a remarkable culture whose daily life can only be discerned by these objects.
