In Plato’s histories the Greek historian described a city that shined as a beacon of power and technology. A city, so wealthy, it was able to cover it’s walls in brass and gold. It possessed vast military might and a powerful navy which helped it to conquer most of what was the known world at the time. He was speaking, of course, of Atlantis. This mighty nation was said to have been destroyed by the gods nearly overnight by devastating earthquakes and other natural disasters. While it is still hotly debated whether Atlantis was an actual city or perhaps an allegory used by Plato, this has not stopped historians and archaeologists from trying to tease it’s actual location from Plato’s writings. Recently a theory has been put forth that perhaps Atlantis was not swallowed by the sea but now sits in plain sight within the Sahara desert. Unusual geologic formations and tantalizing archaeological tidbits lend weight to this wild theory. On this case file Join the Theorists as they get into one of the most epic of staring contests with...the Eye of the Sahara.
