So the city seemed to be named after the mining activities which was described by Plato as was the townscape of the city which inluded canals. The city itself was actually built inside walls that kept out the water.<BR/><BR/> Some guy on a Discovery Channel programme seemd to prove its exact location. The reed ships of Bolivia which are still made today seemed among the most impressive information on the programme. Of course the fact that lakes nearby the presume site of Altantis contain huge amounts of as yet unexplained archeaological treasures is also an impressive fact. <BR/><BR/> Some of my own personal feelings are that ancient Lamanites traded cocaine with the Egyptians and that their conflict with the Greeks may have been an ancient drugs war. <BR/><BR/> The Book of Mormon depiction of the coming of the Saviour causing destruction and change on the face of the land probably explains how lost city became destroyed. <BR/><BR/> But, what of the 300 year reign of the Children of Christ from 33AD to presuambly approx 330AD. Wouldn't they have built great cities - however the gold plates had only a small part translated so there is much more that we don't know. <BR/> Paul.<BR/><BR/>paulhull77@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
